I got a terrible phone call this morning. Rick at Rick's Reptiles called to tell me that a fire broke out in his reptile room. Apparently from a light on one of his Vieled cages. Most cages, most babies, all Vieled and leaf tails gone. The smoke spread through his entire house. This has rendered it inhabitable! The house was insured but not the contents:( Rick is one of the finest People I have ever met or had the pleasure to do business with! I have offered to anything for him. I am posting herps on Kingsnake.com tonight. All!!! the money will be given to Rick and his family!!! Teresa Caudle with Dream Lizard is also posting animals for sale on kingsnake and here on herp want ads. All Proceeds will go to Rick and his family! Rick is an Air Force Veteran and a father of 2 young children. If you can donate animals for sale like me and Teresa? Please contact me! Here is Rick's address: Rick's Reptiles 207 Southpoint Depoe Bay, OR 97341 USA Here is his PayPal email address: [email protected] Anything you can send will help!! Even $5 through the mail or via paypal. Rick is an example of what a herp dealer should be in every way! LET'S PULL TOGETHER AND KEEP THIS GUY IN BUSINESS AND DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO HELP HIM!!! **THIS INCLUDES PRAYER AND DONATIONS and CONTRIBUTIONS** Please email me with any suggestion or questions.

Count me in for donating a couple of Reptiles to the cause.. Just drop me a line.. Steve Emerick Napa Valley Snakes http://www.napavalleysnakes.com |

9302.html Posted At 02:10:52 09/22/2001 That is a horrible situation-and it could happen to anyone. I have no reptiles to donate but have a ton of housing equipment (heating pads, lighting fixtures, supplements, etc.) that I will happily send free of charge. Just let me know what is needed and it will be in the mail ASAP. I wish I had money to send, but am cash-poor and equipment-rich, so...please, just let me know.
