By the way in the 70's-80's the ONLY Chinese herps being shipped came from a handful of Hong Kong dealers like Oscar Shu, Global Reptiles , etc. THERE WERE NO SNAKE FARMS ONLY SNAKE MARKETS IN KOWLOON where these guys would buy their wares and stock in trade to export to us. I likely imported the FIRST Mandarin and 100 Flower Snakes only to face nearly a 100% mortality rate. Ernie what would your age have been in the 70's. I was in my late 20's so you must have been a young teenager or middle school student at best. Did you import internationally at such a young age and that's assuming you're at least 50 now which I'm not sure you are. Otherwise you would have had to be a preteen. How old are you so we can know how you know this info? I'm very interested in this...I turned 30 in 1978 just so you know...
