I got a pair -- Jeff gave them to me gratis!! Now Jeff snag a pair for yourself buddy. I'm going to ask this even though I already know the answer -- do you even read your posts? I'll be clear here for you... as for not seeing a correlation between a locale preference and how it bridges the gap amongst herps is inane. I have locale getula... I have locale floridana. So again chief -- you walk out and make a broad stroke argument that no one in getula cares about locale integrity? Ummmmm really? Seriously? I'll transition my thoughts here for you nice and smoothly... you know why you are unaware?



Jeff you're a tool. Aside from you singing your own praises the chorus is a bit lackluster. You freely take credit where you can... and you dish out unfounded, ridiculous critiques. I know what I know too -- I will never be so inclined as to EVER allow an animal from you in my collection. I consider what I still have to be a rescue!! You have seen NO new pics for a while as I stopped posting with any regularity. Or did your keen observational eyes overlook that? I have even been way behind in taking pics.... but here again Einstein. How do you even approach the idea of asking for pics from anyone else? You've regurgitated the same pics for years... poor ones at that. Though it is not right to attack your photography skills... alone. Oh and hey buddy why you looking for those red eastern milks? I'm speculating here but could it have anything to do with some inspired hope of mixing it in with a preexisting morph line which happens to be locale pure? Hmmmn what looks cooler with more red in it? This speculation game is fun!!! Hey do you happen to mention to any new prospective monster island milk owners that many of the aforementioned 'old-school' guys have tried and failed at this same project for years? With good reason. Better yet why did you not take a clutch shot of your hatchlings? I mean this has been a labor of love for years and years? Come on speculate with me... why Jeff? I forgot my meds today and barely slept last night and frankly sir I'll dance around your follied logic and misguided perspectives all day and into the night cause you tend to do the majority of your own debasing when you move past the first sentence every time you type.



The animals across the entirety of the temporalis range have undergone several climatological and terrain overhauls. They are a fringe population existing at the mere whim of chance. The coastal plain has swelled and waned over time Jeff. The animals have all be subject to myriad population constrictions and expansions. By that notion alone the possibilities for genetic expression are, mildly put, vast. Hell man let's get technical... am I within my rights to call your secret animals an archaic isolated population of temporalis? I mean natural selection on an island where they're the apex predator and governed by a 'cool' Atlantic could help explain a tendency toward darker coloration and larger size. You're the biologist here buddy -- you tell me? I mean I'd called northern populations temporalis-influenced triangulum intergrades anyhow... ever seen any yellowish green bestial Burlington County, NJ animals? Come on throughout those hundreds if not thousands of animals tell me!!! Well cause I have...



This is getting scattered -- I lump it up to just the mental restraint it takes to both make sense of what you utter incessantly and to remain coherently focused on making a point using your points as a base. You know why people do not want to tell you about new localities? Come on buddy just refer back to the opening sentence in the second paragraph. I can tolerate grandiosity, can stomach idiocy, but I shy away from anyone who claims to have all the answers decisively. It's called being delusional dude. We are all speculating here... though now that I have a spiffy new email (ChrisBiologist@aol.com) I feel confident that I'll soon be privy to the same celestial insights as you. By the way -- there will be more lizards at lower latitudes. Hence a correlation between more animals preying on them and a southerly drift does make sense. Yet where do you include temporalis and why? Better yet why does a head pattern reflect prey choice? Or even how does it work out that feeding mice as prey items has caused this aberration in your eyes? Help me out with some clarification. If you please anyhow... just as an FYI that is rhetorical. That means don't answer the question directly. Got it?



You like to condescend and play it off in jest... hey if it helps you get by I'll not judge you but remember if you can dish it you had better be prepared to allow the same scrutiny in on yourself and your practices. I'd say you might want to wait on the full-on sensitivity pants and try some of the training variety. They are leak poof now!!! Much unlike the majority of your drivel.



Now as this has gotten here and I feel like an idiot for having typed this much in response to you I'm going to post it but not before giving some real credit out. Cole... dude stop it. You're killing me. Dell you as well. Although I may pic your brain for some photo ideas now =) Hardwick way to go this year! I'm glad you had a brilliant rebound year!!! Joe M dude... I need say nothing more than well done sir. Doug L.... man have you gotten more cool snakes? I should really get back on here a bit more! Joecop... you are really moving on up man! Solid animals and I'm glad you're in the game. Not playing around either! Doug... keep on preaching man. There are several people (I'm certain) that benefit from your advice all over these forums! Oh and nice to see some stellar production as well. Is that '07 male the same you posted as a nate? Tony... thanks! Honest representation of your line is worth it's weight in gold. Your stock is self-evident! If Charlie were still around these parts I'd congratulate him on his quest for no sleep. But with some smokin' animals to show for it! Shannon... I hate you. =) Seriously way to amass even more man! Nice to see Dan Eby's holding the flame for annulata! Phil... well looks like your locale group is becoming more and more solid! You have some smoking stock! Mr. Exposito... you sir produced some insane hondos! Though I know you already know that and the lil' bastards are likely already huge. Dave... well dude. I can never say enough about your husbandry but now you got a collection that makes grown men cry! Ted -- thanks for popping on here and offering up some valid insights. I freely defer to you in terms of acquired knowledge so let me ask you have you produced hundreds and hundreds of temporalis? On a special note... I'd like to than Paul Weaver for having integrity in business. Or lack thereof as it were... Comparative to the general subject matter it's refreshing man!
