I completely agree most herp shows have become boring to go to just table after table of ball pythons, leopard geckos and bearded dragons no one does anything fun anymore and colour morphs don't count as fun. As much as i hate to say it Crutchfield had the best table at this years show by far





Tom. I think the complitment was based on your diverse breeding efforts. I say cheers to that:}! If your into clones then maybe the gecko/balls thing is for some? I have always kept nothing but lizards/monitors/helodermas and some geckos the last 25 years. No lizards in northern Oh. so as a kid I use to keep snakes but soon got bored with them. All lizards are more work then snakes but to me it has not ever been considered work, its been a joy to work with all of the species in the lizard kingom and learning as you enjoy them. Nothing against snakes but I dont buy into the fancy names for the same species but different color morph thing so much. Years ago I got some of the first Sandfire beardeds available, as I bred them some didnt turn out as nice and Id sell them cheaper, now they have invented new names for these different morphs stemming from the Sandfire and created a market with a hefty price for them. I guess Im more of a herper then a marketeer. Keep up the good work!
