We is just fine.. in fact, my brother/husband FINALLY got hisself a little extra cash after the last truck run to Mobile, so now we can afford to hook up the second fridge out on the front porch.

Thanks Fer Askin'!!

: : After reading about John's unfortunate experience below ( please read ) I am compelled to offer some important advice. To whom it is not already obvious, Herp keeping is basically a WHITE TRASH hobby. Just go to any reptile expo and you'll see what I mean. I don't mean to insult anybody, but it is true. Cheloniphiles tend to be a cut above all others in my opinion, but there are still far too may shady individuals in this business. One piece of advice- NEVER EVER buy an animal that the dealer doesn't have ready to ship. We have heard all the stories about the many eggs in the incubator, or the importer who will ship any day now, or the shipment that is sitting at JFK waiting for papers to clear. If the dealer/breeder does not have it on hand, then for all intents and purposes IT DOESN'T EXIST !!!!!!! Why on earth would anybody pay for a non-existent animal. Getting that money back is harder than finding someone who has on hand what you want.
