They seem to have updates about everything, until this. What else do they have planned? Anything in Florida? Any nationwide ones? Anyone know? I check the website off and on, but I never saw info on this until it was done.
The posted the NC news on May 14. Ralph Davis posted the same info on Kingsnake that same day.

That was the first I had ever heard of it. They may have posted info elsewhere.

My first thought when I saw the announcement in May was that it was odd that they hadn't discussed it on any of the forums (or their website) during the writing/run-up process.

They claim they got feedback from private keepers. I guess Crutchfield and Davis can legitimately be called private keepers..........
