Hi Terry

Nice to hear from you again

46 inches should be 115 cm Right? I have a male from the animals from Kazahstan at that size, and it is not fully grown yet. I really wonder how big they can get. Far bigger that is for sure but how big? I just heard that someone had a dione at 180 cm. Wouuuuh I would like to see that animal.

Anyway I just enlarged my collection with another type of dione from Hamm (saleshow in Germany). Couldn`t help it so aditional animals in the barn....hehe fortunately I have an understanding wife.

Next stop is Snakeday in Houten (The Nederlands)Hopefully I will be able to sell some offspring there. Hamm in Germany was a disaster. Way way to hot and some animals died of owerheating. Maybe it is the biggest in the world ( oh yes bigger than Daytona and so ) but the Autum saleshow is too hot for many animals and especially for many of the ones I keep.

49*C ( I think that is 120 F) was messured on a table. I had a better place with some flow of air, but still I needed to moisten all the colder species because they were owerheating.

All my animals survived, but I have heard of some that have lost many or very pricy animals. Really sad.........

Anyway it will soon be Autum here, and I should prepare for the hibernation. Right now we have the warmest September for decades, so I might be able to keep them up for a while yet.

Maybe I can limit the hibernation to 4 months in stead of 6-7.

Anyway nice to know that soon there wil be a brake in the work, and one should only concentrate on next year.



Best wishes
