So I figure the old thread wasn't up to standards, and it wasn't so I took the moderator's advice and opened a new one with the link to the old thread.
I know this is a VERY old thread but I want to clear up a wrong that I made many years ago. I was the one that started this thread back in 2003. I was only a year into the whole world of herps and very nieve. It was much later that I found out, it WAS NOT Walter who I got a parasite from. But at the time I didn't know and he was the last one that I got animals from...so I made an assumption and look where that got me. I have been out of the loop for many years now as I have joined the army and I am currently deployed. I recently started rebuilding my snake collection and ran into Walter who happens to have some corns I am interested in. Since we have been talking, I have been able to clear the air and I wanted to make it official by posting this thread.
I just want to say that I am sorry for the slander and I take full responsilbility for not giving all the facts or looking further into the situation. I actually had completely forgotten about this post until Walter was so kind to bring it up.
Let me tell you though, Karma does come around. Because of a breeding loan I did before I got Walter's animals, I picked up crypto in my corn collection. I had no idea what crypto was at the time and never thought twice about it. But I will tell you that I lost most all my collection to it and what did make it, later died anyways.
I also want to ad that to this date, all my animals are clean and I am very picky who I purchase from and do breeding loans with. Plus I use quarentine of at least three months now before doing anything with new purchases.
So again, Walter, I sincerely apologize for my past mistake and for me being so nieve back then. I will assure you that I have done my reaseach.
