What great stories. What is sad though is those days are gone forever with collecting laws and just herpetoculture in general has lost interest in trying new species and breeding new animals..Kids like me back then were all big eyed whenever I saw for the first time something new and unusual. I wish I could turn time back to those days again.

Today with more and more regulations from cites and other organizations as well as locale state laws (which should never have been on the books to begin with)...well it is no wonder all we have left is the Ball Python folks..

Somehow I wonder if the true herpers from just a couple decades back are extinct. Sure we have a handful here and there. But nothing like it used to be.

Makes me wonder why you FR, never jumped on the BB bandwagon? I know many friends who made quite a few million from them.
