My goodness, What an incredibly, sad, eye opening week we have had. My biggest problem at the beginning of this week was getting my newly hatched clutch to eat and sell them and then this whole thing with Steve Irwin happened. WHEW Where do we go from here. I am shocked still. No celebrity death has ever effected me as much as his. His work, teachings, image, everything are 100% the reason why I do what I do and who I am today. He has inspired me more than anyone ells ever has. Unfortunately In his passing he has once again taught a lot of us something very important. The unexpected can and dose happen. He will be greatly missed by my family and I as well as the millions of others he has touched through the years. On with the WIR.









THINGS TO CONSIDER

ghost corn won't eat

Question about how often to feed a baby

Poop of a different color

Pinkies - how long can they stay out?

Feeding Problems - Found solution

Pairing suggestions, Input welcomed.

Power feeding?









quote of the week

I am Like a kid waiting for christmas! As a matter of fact, I was never this anxious for christmas LOL Thanks Xblackheart, I needed a laugh. I almost feel your pain but I will more than likely be there both days









LONGEST THREAD OF THE WEEK

PHOTOS OF THE WEEK





































































































THINGS THAT SUCK

Man I don’t know what to say. The passing of Steve Irwin really really sucks. In comparison nothing this week really sucked but I will try

ghost corn won't eat It kind of sucks when they don’t eat

Sacramento show It sucks that you have to work one day of the show









UNANSWERED POSTS

Last years keeper,

crimson pic

2 corns i picked up at the raleigh show

All are beautiful snakes









FINAL THOUGHTS

For those of you that have been here to see the WIR in the past welcome it back, For those of you that are reading it for the first time this is a compilation of information and photos posted to the forum in the past week that I put together on my free time. If you feel I have missed an important post or want to see something added please feel free to email me. In closing I would like to ask everyone for a moment of silence for the late great Croc Hunter. I am donating 10% of my earnings from my snake sales this year. I really really wish I could offer more but after my little girls $40,000 operation this is really all I can do. I know it doesn’t come near to mending broken hearts but its something. Please let this be a reminder that while we are out herping or doing anything for that matter the most unexpected things can happen at the most inopportune times. Be safe everyone and god bless.
