>>Sorry mate, call me stupid lol, but whos Curt Johnson, if i may ask?
Curt was simply put one of the most knowledgeable venomous keepers here in the US (heck he seemed to know something about nearly ANY reptile) I've ever known. He was not an academic, but I can tell you this, most venomous keepers could have learned a lot from him. Having seen his collection a number of times in person I can simply say I was always in awe. Stunning animals! He was not a mainstream breeder and pretty much kept an extremely LOW profile. Tragic is an understatement. I truly hope the right thing is done with his collection and it does not wind up on the internet chopping block or his family taken advantage of. Sad, sad, sad... I knew Curt for about 11 or 12 years. I'll miss him a heck of a lot. I actually have a couple neat projects this season I was hoping to ‘spring’ on him! I’m sorry I will not have the opportunity to talk with him about them and share pics, etc… I don’t believe in ‘the hereafter’, but if there is, I can only hope Curt is in Africa chasing a Gold’s Tree Cobra.
