Rob,

Wish I could have been there too hear it. Tucson truly is a *magical place*, especially around the "monsoon season." I know what you mean about the hordes of tarantulas, I myself have seen literally hundreds of WHIP SCORPIONS running across and down the road in Borrego Desert out here in Calif. BUT..unlike you, I was not brave enough to lay down and let them run all over me. Not me..no way!!!

You ever see the FACE on those things? No way Id let them run all over me..uh-huh..no way...

Kudos to you for disseminating so much good info on Drymarchon, and you are right, donating Couperi to HONEST and forward thinking institutions who would actively promote the increasded protection of both this snake and its habitat is an excellent thing.

thanks for your hard work,

Appreciatively,

Fredrick Albury
