I kinda agree with that. Sorta falls in line with a signature I admire a whole lot...


"Keeping herps is not what you do... it is who you are."

Can't recall a signature like that Rich , who ya talking about Randy

It's from another board actually.

Chris,

I understand what you are saying, and do agree with you as to someone who actually cares about the animals.

My impression is that when Mickey posted that, she was simply defending her ability to run the "business"....from what conversation I have had with her, she IS truly interested in the animals, but acknowledges she is still learning on that end of it.

Take it as you will, it is simply what I got out of talking with her, and after the questions I initially had about her, felt it only fair to post my opinion.

I second you on that.

I couldn't be more happy with the snakes I got from Mickey. Hell, they even ate the same day they came in.

That's why I went to her last week with $500 for more snakes.

Thanks to you Cathy and Doug for supporting me here...I am learning the "how to's" (the concrete part of this business)...I do have a strong passion for these and all animals and have what it takes mentally and physically to manage the business. The emotional investment is the abstract that does come naturally for me and I am willing to learn with and from my daily responsibilities.

I realize that it will take time to build my reputation separate from Tony's and am thankful for those of you who have given me the time and the opportunity to do so. This is where that 'perseverance' is needed to be able to handle the bad with the good.

I have a strong respect for all of you who have been breeding and raising reptiles and again, look forward to continuing to learn all that I can!
