Thamnophis.com World Meeting

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

here in california it doesnt matter if you get paid

Is that not only if they are paying passengers, Reed? In the UK I could drive a full size bus on a regular licence... as long as I'm not taking fares.

Well, Wayne... thank you so much....
Guys, what do you think? Maybe just what we need for out first Thamnophis. com meeting? Comments please.

hmmm.... how far from rochester are you??? maybe i really can go!!!

James and all,

I had no luck at all on NC camp sites with cabins. The ones with a few cabins were very quick to let me know they would not be able to accommodate a large group. I waited a while to update everyone as my son was still helping try to locate something suitable.

[adamanteus]

Sid, what do you think of Wayne's generous offer?

No one has to rent anything!! I live in New York state, 4 hours from JFK, or a shuttle flight can take you to an airport 20 minutes away. We can provide transportation for up to 3 people at a time.

there is 100 acres of private lands to herp in, campsites already here, and I would be proud to have this in my back yard, for free. it's already a park with camping

There is a 1000 acre state woods to hike, and take pictures, But I would be too afraid to gather anything from state land.

another big plus, not one venom producing snake to be found, the rattlesnakes live far from here, My lands lack the rock ledges preferred by the rattlesnakes.

So consider this as an invite to have it here.

Regards,
Wayne A. Harvey

The generous offer sounds great to me. I've really been very disappointed in the progress for plans in NC. My sons has continued trying for us, but still not any good news. If we need to change locations, so be it. As I said from the start, where ever, I'll be there.

how about some place where there is more than one species of garter snake and how about during the summer of either 2009 or 2010 during the summer because its real hot and a longer period of time to look for snakes plus they will be found basking on rocks. how about one week for our meeting and we should bring transport tanks just in case if some people want to take a little snake home i think my family still has a campsite out in califorina...the campsite has three cabins near a lake i think we still have it but i'm going to have to check with my family the last time i was there was 2006

[el lobo]

Yeah! This would be awesome! I would recommend somewhere in the Midwest. I would definitely say 2009 at the VERY EARLIEST. possibly later? I am stoked.

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

I think the new york idea is a great and a generous one... and hey... what's wrong with eastern garters?!?! they are INFINITELY variable in color and pattern

[Snake lover 3-25]
