"Scepticism is what's keeping the Louisiana Pine alive"

I totally agree. Good point. Skepticism should always be shown by serious collectors. Disregard of history only means we are doomed to repeat it. Should not be labeled as a paranoia, but of wisdom gained, experience.

I must say, history has repeated itself a number of times in this hobby/industry. Actually, a couple of times in the pituophis world as well. We all know this to a certain degree. Still comes down to personal preference. I like verifiable history on most herps I acquire. No paranoia here, I know what has been done to many herp lines in this industry and try to stay clear of a few of them. That's me.

Though the personal stuff in the previous posts I will not touch, ain't worth the time.

Now on with the pics
