Thanks for the welcome! Yes, I agree. It's a GREAT forum!

This is like a bazillion, gazillion, jamillion times better than kingsnake.com!

I whole heartedly agree!!!!

No "hidden" moderators, a far better GUI and lots of really great people.

I loved that first post

Anytime anyone transforms from where you were at to where you are is a very good thing.

I respect your eagerness to educate others!!

Many warm wishes, and welcome to the family.

Kind regards,
Wayne A. Harvey

Woo-hoo.............I just love it when someone gets "converted"!!
I loved your story, and you'll absolutely HAVE to find someone with a digital camera to take those pics when your new pals arrive!
Welcome to our forum, it truly is the greatest place to be!

Thank you Anji, Stefan (with an F) and Jen!

Jen, you need to find a Sun when you want to waste precious fuel and drive up to Wild River State Park, near Taylors Falls. Then you can meet Winnie, Ripley... AND ME!

Dave does a snake presetation every Sun (See? I HAD to get over my fear/ickyness because as the Visitor Center Host and his Assistant I gots to help with the presentation and help take care of Ripley.) and we even have video of a Hoggy playing dead that always cracks me up. Then at the end Dave feeds Ripley and I let the kids feed Winnie worms. (Which reminds me. I gotta get vitamins today as I read since Winnie's not getting minnows [yet] she needs calcium, etc. Didn't know that before yesterday.)
