Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hey guys how is going down in So-Cal? Miss the meeting and the herping. Went to a couple meetings at the Seattle area herp society but wasn't worth the drive. I'm toying with starting a society in my area if I can find enough interested people. How has the herping been? Catch you all later.

Good morning Mark
The society is showing some improvement. We are now seeing some old faces from before your reign. A new guy in town called Ramy who owns Reptile City did a Reptile Super Show 3 weeks ago. It was a show like we haven't seen in 8 years. There were over 10k people that passed through the building (Scottish Rites). The waiting line was about 45 minutes on Sat and 30 minutes on Sunday. I was lucky to sell all my snakes off spring in the fist hour on Sat. Wasn't sure what I was going to do for the rest of the weekend. So I just hung out at the SDHS booth. I guess it goes to show that if you do the advertising like it should be you'll have the turn out you are looking for. If you do start an organization up there put us on your mailing list. We would like to share stories or even speakers?? How's life up there?

Hey Mark, what Tom said...lol. Herping has pretty much sucked this year. It's so dry out in the field that it's scary. Some of the animals seen have looked wrecked, and that was even earlier in the season. Aside from that it's going ok. No visits back down here yet?

Hey Mark,
Long time no see. Do you miss San Diego as much as me? I hope all is well with you and your wife in the NW.
