It's been a while, but I'll be checking back in a little more frequently over the next several months. It was difficult to stay offline during my recent training, but it was necessary. I still don't want to become too distracted because I haven't finished the PhD yet, but it's drawing closer. There is A LOT of work still to be done. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello, and if there are/were any really significant threads that needed my attention in my absence, please send a PM to alert me. There were apparently 7,807 new posts during my absence, so I'm just going to mark them as read and start from here. Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well and has had a productive summer. I had two litters of pickeringii while I was gone, but I kept my concinnus in brumation throughout the summer in order to cut down on maintenance/work. This means they'll breed out of cycle this winter, but that's cool. I'll post pictures when I have more time. Until then... take care,
Rick
