Had some curve balls thrown at me this year.

Stint in one of my heart arteries in Feb '08

Back in the emergency room in a couple of months after that.

Missed a lot of work.

A lot of my snakes didn't breed since I wasn't able to ensure that they did.

Reduced my collection some...more reduction to follow.

Got back into taxidermy (been doing it since 1974).

Just doing fish and REPTILES for now.

I made the pic cover on http://www.taxidermy.net at least for a week for the Black Rough-neck monitor that I mounted for the NTA Taxidermy Nationals.

Also got another article published in Breakthrough Magazine (taxidermy magazine).

So not breeding reptiles all that much....but still messing with reptiles in taxidermy.

The monitors came from a rehab place that had died and were in the freezer and one from a pet store where the lizard died. Why waste them?

Some recent skin mounts.

Now if I can just get rid of about 50 snakes I'd be doing better.
