What we need to do is get updated contact info for all the herp society, get all the big companies in line that have the huge mailing lists and use the already established chains of communication that are out there. I spoke to Jeff B and a bunch of other last year about this during the Chicago ordeal. They had a natioal herp society they tried to get going but nobody wanted to get involved and it didnt work out. The best thing we can do is get the flow of communication opened up. have laisons in each state(preferablly a member of a herp society) that when something happens can rapidly contact all the societys within their state, get the info to the societies so it can passed throughout the members. We can also use pet store that carry reptiles and supply dealers such as LLL that are willing to get involved. When I called some of the big dealer the other day I had one that pretty much told me to go get screwed they got better things to do. We need to make people realize that with an attitude like that were all going to be out of buis.
Anyway I tried this last year and only a couple people wanted to help but lets give it a run again. Ill need a few people who can contact the herp societies, pet stores etc. I am going to talk to the chicago herp tomorrow for some more ideas but we need to get one volenteer from a herp society for each state. If we can get one person from each state that would be willing to donate time as a liason that would get this up and going and we could build it from there. So anyone who is willing to help drop me an email, I have a boat load of work thats been put off all week so I wont be able to get back to ya till sunday but sunday well get the ball rolling.
