I was reading the latest issue of reptiles magazine, and stumbled across a page headed "advertisement" at the top, and was nothing more than a letter to readers from Ronald B. Hamper. In the body of the letter it explained that he had entered in a guilty plea to charges of trafficking Blanding's Turtles, a protected species. He was sentanced to one year and one day in prison, and ordered to pay a substancial amount of money in fines to various organizations.
If I'm not mistaken, isn't this the same Ron Hamper who is a well known python breeder? Anyone hear anything about this?
