You guys that truly knew Joseph lazlo have passed his knowledge along and I have been lucky enough to here it from some of you and other people who knew him.I did talk to him on the phone in 1980 and did not know who he was at the time.Most of the ones left who know who he was can only remember him as who he was a true pioneer who led the way for all captive propagation today.There were others as well.Then there is Tom I have often wondered if Jesus had stayed with him once,LOL.The truth is that this way of life most of us took for granted 20 years ago is coming to an end. If we can not stop the train.Where I come from most people think you might be crazy for having snakes but they would never dream of telling you you can't have them.This country has taken some hard turns since then.For some reason freedom has taken the back seat to control.People no longer seem to want true freedom and prefer to give everything to the law to protect them.New laws as well as bills appear every day and the onslaught continues.How this happened I do not know.How could I as I do not want to limit any ones rights.We are a dying breed.I never missed wild kingdom as well .Now I just hope our grand kids will at least have the right to go herping and keep snakes one day,with out it being a white list of the only 5 species that society will deem appropriate to own,Left to jeff Corwin it will be like that no doubt.I really hate that guy.
