...that the breeders that are contributing the most are those that have benefited from sales from Jeff. I can only speak for myself and a few others and say that that is not the case. I have never met or spoken to Jeff let alone sell him anything. I only just e-mailed him after hearing of his situation.



I know of one other friend of mine that made a $600 commitment, Bryan of exoticballpythons.com, that has yet to make a sale in this industry and, like jeff, is building his collection up by spending hard earned dollars.



This really affected me greatly. I was deeply saddened by it and although to some, doing what we do seems easy...it is NOT! It takes alot of dedication, perseverence and PASSION! Top that off with a lot of hard work!!!



In my eyes, Jeff represents people like me, like Bryan and anyone else out there that has a dream to succeed in something that they truly love to do. It's coming home to a whole new round of surprises. Everytime you slide open that drawer you never know what you'll find...breeding...ovulation...eggs! Then there is the hatching. It's like Christmas. Every package is different. It is excitment that we all need in our lives. It is the fuel that drives us. And yes there is the financial reward as well. It is the necessary part of any business or life for that matter.



I would like to personally thank all those that have contributed thus far. Whether it is $5000 or $10 it all adds up. It has shown me that there are many fine people in this industry. One that I am proud to be apart of.



Thank you!
