Frank,

I like all Getula but especially Cals. and Splendida. And I still like Aberrants the best out of the Cals. Seeing that post on Temecula brought back lots of memories. On our way back from Arizona one time we stopped at that abandoned stock yard place (it's gone now !!!). You chose a sheet of plywood to flip while I flipped a 6' 2"x6". You found a huge female banded King and I found a Gopher. Flipped a whole lot of Gophers and Kings in Temecula 40 years ago. I still have a polaroid of an Aberrant from there I caught in '68. But I digress. I think the forum goes in cycles. A few years ago Easterns dominated. We also had Splendidas for awhile until Todd disappeared. But Shores was involved and Forks was seen more often. Then there was a spate of Speckleds, especially when Stevens got his white sides going. And for a few months Mex. Blks. had their time. Actually I find quite a bit of diversity in what shows up. And, as to my other interests (Pits, Corns, and Garters) I frequent those forums. I even go occasionally to that big Lizard forum. What's it called?? Varanids I think!!!!LOL. I can't disagree about certain species fanatics running around. Jerry and his Zonata and Ranier and his Brooksi. But I will defend John Lassiter. Yes, his favorites are Thayeri and Mex. Mex. But he has some lizards(Mex. Alligators) to die for and, good Lord, he even has a gopher!!! He can't be too off LOL. I am more concerned at what will disappear because we seem to be losing folks faster than gaining them. Well, that's more than $0.02!!!!
