Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hi everyone. First and most important I would like to apologize to a lot of my friends for not being around and having to "disappear" again... Yes, I'm in Afghanistan - AGAIN. My current location and the fact that I travel to different sites here in Afghanistan, plus my 84 hour work week really restricts my access to the internet, even when it is available... But doing this (Afghanistan) will allow me to eventually be at home PERMANENTLY and be financially well off, and invest MUCH more time in the hobby that we all love. As much as I hate to bring this up, my family must always come first - especially in this rocky-road economy we have these days.
It's good to still see old names like Antelope, Bluerosy, Crimsonking, Foxturtle, ZFelicien, FR, Kerby, Jlassiter, Shannon Brown, and more (can't remember all of them), on these forums. One day I will be home for good and hope to become a regular on here once again... We may not always agree on everything here, but we do have one thing in common: We love our kingsnakes and we love to talk about them and learn from it!
And I still have all mine (Cals, Brooks, alternas, Easterns and a few more)!!! But since I will not be home much, I only paired up my two biggest pairs this year (the six footer and his gal-pal, and my two other large S. Georgia kings). As some of you know I still have the Golden corn project going on (read my post in Cornsnakes) and that will keep my son and my wife busy enough...
I will try to pop on here from time to time. Until then, I wish you all good luck on this year's breeding and hope for the best!

Thanks & hi John! Do you still have a large collection (of kings) at your house? One day I hope to come by and visit you and Todd again (soon)!

Carsten....Would enjoy seeing you down our way again....

We moved into a new house....
I was out of the snake hobby for 4 years....
I have since built a new snake room and have a small collection of 27 kingsnakes.....and one WC Pacific Coast Gopher snake...

Here's the new snake room at the new house...

That's great news. Very nice snake room you have there! I will be upgrading mine very soon (now that I can afford it, lol!)
I will be coming to Texas soon - just don't know when yet. It will probably be in 2010/2011 sometime (as I would like to stay here 18 more months if possible)

One day I'll have to come by and we'll go out herpin somewhere with hunting license, fishing license, sperlunking license, rock-climbing certificate, governor approval, border patrol slip, signed police warrant, signed executive order, United Nations agreement, roadside low-crawling with red lense flashlight and all.... Maybe then we'll be legal??? (As long as we don't exceed our bag limit of zero)

Thanks. I still DO have a decent sized collection (52), of mostly kings, corns, milks and a pair of Eastern Indigos...
I just have to persuade my son to take some more pics for me real soon! Are you still working with goinis? I remember that you always had some AWESOME looking goinis!

Morphs... just like baseball cards BUT ALIVE, how cool is that???

my website www.barmollysplace.com

Thanks.
Yeah, you're right about that. But at least I'm old enough to not hold grudges against ANYONE! And if we agree on EVERYTHING, how boring would THAT be??? Then we would never learn!!!
Hope all is well with you! Have you got/found anymore six footers from NJ?

"I am an expert on everything, but I know so little and have so much to learn!" -Carsten "Zee" Zoldy-

Good to see you're still around! You gonna be at the Raleigh or Daytona shows this year? I'll probably be in attendance at both.

Hi there!
Good to hear from you. I wish I could (be at either show), but it'll have to wait until 2011 probably. I'm trying to stay here for another 18 months and I should be set for a looong time!
But eventually, I WILL BE BACK!

"I am an expert on everything, but I know so little and have so much to learn!" -Carsten "Zee" Zoldy-

2011?! That's a long time... I remember you told me you were making some pretty good dough out there. I'll see you in 2011!

Yes, the money is good! I will be set for the future after 2011!
