I want to take a few moments to wish all the members of this forum a Merry Christmas and say thank you for all the great information and pictures you share on this forum. I purchased my first Ball Python in August and I read this forum daily to help increase my knowledge of these wonderful snakes. Hopefully one day I will have knowledge and experiences worthy of sharing with you.

I would like to say a special thank you to the following people;

David McGowen @ Texoma Reptiles for the outstanding female pastel sibling.

Jim Stelpflug @ Southwest Wisconsin Reptiles for the awesome male pastel and the splendid female pastel siblings.

Joe Yakelis @ Hellfire Reptiles for the excellent male het piebald and the beautiful female pastel sibling.

Dan Wolfe @ Dan Wolfe Herpetoculture for the gorgeous female het piebald you are taking care of for me as we wait for the spring thaw.

Adam Wysocki @ 8 Ball Pythons for all the help you have given me these past few months and also for the fantastic balls I will be purchasing from you in '05.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a great 2005!!!!!

Louis Kirkland
