Hi Soe (and everybody else);

I too am enjoying morning coffee here in Newfoundland (just west about 3500 miles from you Soe ;-) I get sooooo sick of people wanting to come see my reptiles (mostly corns) I show them my breeding stock which took me some time to acquire & these 'lookers' think I'm running a pet shop here, they point something like my male Creamsicle Corn I got from Kathy Love or 1 of my best breeding females & say "I'll buy that one, how much??"

Geeze, I've only got a small collection as it is. Oh yeah & now that I've recently got some really nice Russian ratsnakes (from Terry Cox) a couple of people have been by wanting them, they have NO idea what it took for me to get those guys here & they just think by waving a $100 bill in front my nose I'll just pull 1 outta the cage, NOT ON YOUR LIFE!!!! I just say I'll put you on my hatchling list. Then they say when are you breeding them, next week???

Well I'm glad to see we all get a little frustrated with over-zealous buyers from time to time. Must go now & get my 3rd cup of 'wake-up juice'

have a nice day

Dean
