John, ya, dragons are very cool. I think that most herpers would get a kick out of a visit but to be very honest, I do not know if the long trip and high cost would be worth what most people get to experience there (a few hours of watching them at a safe distance). On the other hand, because we were filming them for TV and paid for the special permits required from the gov't, we got to spend 4 days there up close and personal (collecting saliva samples and such).

As far as the Korean species go, its like I am from NY but have never seen the statue of liberty. Don't figure huh. I was running all around catching tegu in Peru and spitting cobras in Indo and never took much notice (other than snapping a few pics) of the local herps. Thanks a lot to this forum however, I am now very much interested in Korean species and hope to spend some time in the future gathering some info on them.

As a side note, I am getting an indo order in soon and am getting my friend to include some G. oxycephala and E. radiata. Figure I will try to set a few up and see what i can do with them. He also has some Chrysopelea species and I have had them before but do not think i am going to mess with any lizard eaters right now.

Thanks, Don
