Lift Somebody UP Today!

[West Coast Jungle]

I am a big fan of the positive and a NOT a big fan of negativity so this is great thread!

I'd like to start by thanking Adam, whom I haven't had the pleasure of meeting or purchasing a snake from yet (wait till summer)but when I emailed him for advice(yesterday) he quickly responded giving me excellent and friendly experienced information and actually thanked me for reaching out to him! When actually I am the one who is thankful that he took time out of his busy day to help me with a scratch your head situation. This is not the first time he gave me expert advice (he has responded to posts many times) but the first time I emailed him directly and I was helped immediately. I enjoy helping others and Adam is a great example to follow!

Next I'd like to thank Mendel's Balls (that don't sound right LOL). He always has great detailed genetic info to share and his posts are always informative and helpful.


Last but not least I would like to thank one of our newest member's Jon Dvoretz fron Next World Exoctics. Jon sold me my first morph (Pastel) and since many other great snakes. When I was just starting out (and now) he took all my calls has always given me the best advice( listened to my stupid questions) even if it was buying snakes from someone else (my albino's and ghost) and is down right friendly and sincere! Last year in the beginning of breeding season he sold me a spider he produced when the prices were still much higher (gave me a good deal at the time), when I saw him in Daytona, my wife was shocked how much the prices had dropped. Jon felt bad and told me he would give me a deal on my next snake.(He didn't have to). I was looking for a ghost in Daytona(he didn't have one) and he advised me on a deal I found from Mike Wilbanks and told me to jump on it and to trust Mike (good deals make me leary). A month later I took him up on his offer and he sold me a cinny for a song (OK there was $ involved, not much). He has always been a good friend and his advice has always been helpful, honest and insightful. I know everyone will enjoy having him onboard!

I would like to send out my dedication to Stangs. It seems to me that Justin has put in countless hours of research and tried to learn as much as possible about these wonderful creatures. At a young age, when others his age have no focus or hobby, Justin is striving to be an asset to the community. I believe he will turn out to be a great breeder and keeper in the future. Keep up the good work Justin, time will fly by and you'll have a collection that rivals many on this site.

I want to thank Adam, Tim Bailey, and Chris(cue)


Adam it is a great thing that a big timer like yourself still steps in here daily to help out and answer simple questions. I also love that you stick up for the little guys here. You do great things here to bring the bp.net community together. You have helped me a ton through PM's and thank you. Thanks!

Tim, you are the one who inspired me to breed once I saw all your beautiful animals. You have helped a ton with all my questions no matter what. You opened up your home for me to come and see everything you had.

Chris, you were the one who put the het albino female in my hands. My first morph(I would say) and the snake that will start me off. You waited patiently for months while Matt Graybeal played with my order and held onto the snake while I was waiting for my thermostat. Thanks again bro!

A great big thank you goes to Bp.net membership. This place runs and lives due to your participation!

Extra thanks goes to all those experienced individuals(and everyone else) who take time out of their busy lives to share their knowledge with the new comers.

Last but not least, kudos to the mod team who do a wonderful job of keeping things running smoothly. We'll be in limbo without you guys!

OK.. where to start.


1st. BPNET: I'd like to say thank you to the whole community, for all the combined support, knowledge, and humor. You have made me a better herper mom. TRUE! Meeting some of you.. Chris, Tim, Mon, Mike, Judy, Sarah, Becky, etc.. was a real treat! And I am inspired by you all!

2nd. Rapture: For introducing me to this sight, and putting an end to me saying "What? are you crazy?? It's just a Ball Python" ! I had no clue what wonderful snakes these were... My wish list USED to consist of all Boas... I now have a new list. (But I Still LOVE my Boas)!!! So, in essence... it's all your fault.

3rd. Cue: For all the Cueisums.... countless sprays of coffee at my monitor, helping me get my first official "set of balls"... Answering 1,000 newb questions. And the endless rack jokes! NICE, THANKS, and That's HOT...... And most importantly, caring, not only about snakes... but about people too. you are one of the most genuine people I've ever met.

Last but NOT LEAST. ECLARK: Ed has been an untappable source of knowledge to me. Through PM's and phone calls... he has walked me through things as minute as Sticky Frog temps, to a panicked phone call over eggs and incubator... Every time I have thanked him, he replies with.. "If you need help, just call. Even if it's 3 am"...
Thank you ED! Again for being a "life line" !

Dang, I didn't read the instructions either.... oooops!

I would like to thank my wife. Who hates snakes loves mice and rats and still allows me to go forward with my dream of breeding and having umpteen hundred different morphs. With out her I'd be struggling to get dressed. Even thought she'll never read this..Thanks babe and I love you.

I want to thank Kara !

Kara has been a kind, supportive person from the get-go during my BP learning and purchasing process. Not only have I learned from her, but she's been a great friend to boot

Whether it's making me dinner and apple pie (yum!), taking me out to lunch, playing with herps or chatting and having girl-time--she's always thoughtful, confident and a really good listener!

Thank you Kara, for being SO awesome

I also want to thank all the members of BP.net.

Many of you have been a support, a resource for information, and generally caring friends I'm realitively new in the grand scheme of things, but this close-knit community was willing to let me in and embrace me. For doing that, I just want to say thank you--for being the wonderful people that you are.
