As good as it gets

A fellow herper and pioneers pased away this morning. I am waiting for a friend who was closer to him than me to make the post who it is.

He was a well respected, honest and knowledgable breeder who few people loved his snakes as much as he did...

He was one of us. Makes me think that day there will be a post like this for me, for you and all of us here. Most of us started young and continued developing our interests early on in live. As we greew watching our snakes, season after season, year after year, decade after decade. Still with the same passion as we had since the beginning. Now that we are grown our love for this hobby as come to fruition. With all the dreams we had were surpassed since we were younger.

Observing them in a cage by themsleves with set temps and deciding when to feed is hardly natural or healthy for the snakes.

You are doing what suits you. which is fine, but its not about the animal, its about you. Your requirements.

Yes sir that day is coming for all of us.

I remember having a conversation with Erine Wagner, when we discussed hatching snakes that outlived us. Getting close isn't it.

About a young herpers dreams, the reality of reptiles now, simply could not be dreamed of when I was young.

I dreamed that I would one day find a zonata and rosy boa, in one day.

condolences for whomever died
