Poor planning and procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...

Jerry, The Black and white one and the Multicinctas especially catch my eye. Nice animals. They are the ones I used to drool over in the books in the old days and in the field guides.

Beauties. Thanks for sharing the pics. There's sadly not very many people working with any of the mountain kings up here in Canada.

And why, may I ask, should i bring some up? I'd love to, but that's a heck of a trek for me Kent.

Besides, not everyone is into zonata, not everyone wants to spend money for quality stuff (hence the old adage "you get what you pay for", and not everyone wants to deal with mostly obnoxious babies when the time comes if they should decide to breed 'em....... so that trek would likley be nothing more than a vacation for me.......so to make it more interesting, invite me to go hiking out there, and i'll bring just YOU the best pair of what you want. Easy squeezy!
