In Reply to: Creation of the "Eastern Indigo Snake Working Group" MORE!! posted by Dean Alessandrini on June 08, 2001 at 08:20:49:
Dean that sounds pretty awesome. Count me in. Our wildlife center that I direct promotes and engages in both education and field research so this falls well within our mission. We, too, work closely with the DNR and USFWS on projects so that is great that they are willing to get involved. Having indigos in our collection will only allow us to provide additional educational opportunities (such as what you are doing) to our community. Keep up the good work and keep me posted! BTW, if all goes well, my indigo eggs should be hatching within the next 10 days (man that 100 days seems like forever!).
: Man...I leave town and the forum goes crazy! Hey I just got back from Florida, and, this is really exciting:
: A group of about 25 indivuals (most F&W, and DNR people), but including myself and Dennis Giardina (who sometimes contributes to this forum) met for 2 LONG days of planning recovery efforts for the Eastern Indigos.
: Check this...ALL involved were pretty psyched about the website(indigosnakes.com) and plan to contribute!
: It's been a while and my computor has been down (virus) but I'm going to take over the site from James Doyle...I'm even taking a class to learn how to better serve as a webmaster.
: In a week or 2, the official "minutes" of the meeting will be posted on the site...but...at the very least, Eastern Indigo preservation is now back to the forefront and actively being worked by both the fed and state governments.
: I VERY excited about the ideas that came out of the meeting.
: I hope to get as many of you as possible invloved in the recovery effort and to beefing up indigosnakes.com , which we feel will be a key to the education of both the public and all of us !
