Have you seen the post on the Venomous forum about Earl Turner being bitten and hospitalized. For those that do not know him he was one of the pioneers of the alterna craze.

He was also the first (documented) private breeder of Blonde phase Trans-Pecos, and he wrote the first article about those in TP&W Magazine in that late 1970s.

Does Earl still live in Del Rio area? I haven't been by his place in a long time. Now that I think about it I haven't been to Del Rio in a long time. I loved his setup.

I hope he recovers quickly. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Best Wishes,

Video says location. I didn't know he left Del Rio.

He lives near Kerrville now. Earl was released from the hospital a couple of days ago and is now recvering at home.
