If you are ever up in the Chicago area I would love to show you are facility. We have a pretty unique set up here; our herp museum/center is housed in a historic gentleman's farm that was built in 1917 so we had to do a lot of rehab/restoration that would make the historical folks happy while making sure it had all of the modern necessities in maintaining a world class collection of herps....its been a challenge but worth the efforts (we get some nice funding from the historical preservation folks). I look forward to coming to Dallas sometime to see your set up....my best ideas usually come from other places.
