>>As for your observations about Mr. Schulz, if you look at the preface of his monograph, affectionately called "The Bible" by some of us ratsnake lovers, you'll see that he has actually gone into some depth on that subject. According to Mr. Schulz, Germans have had a long tradition of academics and amateurs working together. Sometimes hobbyists can add things to the pool of knowledge that academics can't, or go places academics don't have time for, etc. Anyway, he is technically a non-academic, but he is well educated, and has a super excellent background in working with the various ratsnakes, especially some of the exotic Asian ones. He also wrote the monograph with a little help from another writer, some artists, and with scientific consultants, including Notker Helfenberger.

Yes, I've read it, and I think it would be great if academics and amateurs would work together more, here in the U.S.
