All the big snakes were re-homed a couple months ago.
I want to concentrate on Thamnophis but I promised to keep Helen with me no matter what.

Awwww Steve, I'm so sorry.

Sorry to hear about the loss of Helen. I'm more than certain she had the best life possible on the ranch.

[Light of Dae]

Helen Rest in Peace. Sure she had the best life n time possible at the ranch. I'm sure she was grateful for everything you did.

[BLUESIRTALIS]

Sorry for your loss steve.

It's sad to see a friend go, but to go because of old age, that in a strange way is a blessing. She had a good retirement plan with you.

Time for some good news.

The 2012 Snapper Fest has been cancelled. This is a festival where the contestants grab snapping turtles by their necks and swing them around.
Arav – Snapperfest 2012 Canceled

What a horrible event perpetrated on an animal that just wants to be left alone.
I would certainly be arrested if I where at the event. These type of events make me embarrassed to be a human.

Whoah. People are nuts.
This event is even less funny than that *joke* on twitter about purposely running over a box turtle.
I hope it really is cancelled.

What the heck is the ministry when this activity was happening.! I know they can be scary to some people, but to grab them by the neck and swing them around?

Glad it's been cancelled...It's just another way for idiots to say "Look at me, I can overpower a creature that's smaller than me, and wants nothing to do with me."
