An interesting factoid for you to read. I truly hope you practice
strict isolation techniques with this animal you have from him. If I where you I would consider it highly contagious until a year has passed without incident.

Now, get your story straight son. I took back ONE other animal, a basin, from Matt Lerer. I
GAVE AWAY OVER 5K worth of animals,
including ONE basin and two groups of northerns. It had NOTHING to do with any sales I made, I simply donated my study group to one individual and one institution that wanted them to conduct their own reseach on. If you want to verify that you may ask Paul Lord who recieved one group or contact Dr. Jacobsen at the University of FL, the recipients of the other. </td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
At an average wholesale cost of say $200 each minus the 1k for the basin, that would be @ 20 more he killed.
Both groups went south according to him.

On a more somber note,
I have now the unenviable task of disposing of 13 or the nicest Northern Emeralds I have ever seen. These are all animals acquired by me over the last 3 years. Each became part a of the ERS study that I terminated in May of 2001 when 10 of these went to live at a friends home where he has taken care of them using my maintenance program since. He has now decided to throw in the towel, as there is little in the herp world more disgusting than a four-day-old regurgitated food item. He tried to endure but has found it impossible to continue, so I am left with the task of liquidating these KNOWN regurgitation machines. Each and every one of these animals is a top 10% animal phenotype, ultra high-white knockout in outwardly excellent condition. Not a single bonerack, or even thin animal in the lot, which is the only reason they escaped the deep freeze in May. The acquisition of this group comes with heavy stipulations and restrictions, which will require the purchaser to sign a written purchase agreement.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
Here is 13 he killed.

Hi Steve;
That's a very interesting saga. I'll have to give that a shot with the one animal I am having problems with now, a 10 year captive that only began regurgitating after 8 months here, having never been exposed to any other animals. Perhaps your information will help her.
In any event, tell your friend that I currently have a groupe of 14 of some of the best looking Emeralds I've every seen,housed locally that are all freezer bound. They are all ERS animals, some WC some CB of various ages from 3 years old to adults. They are available for a very small sum to anyone willing to take the entire group with a no resale contingency.
Tell him to call me if he is interested. These animals are due for the deep freeze in 48 hours.
Thanks..

Or is that 14?
This group is housed locally and I was at his place when his buddy came to pick up a puker from him.
Now he put down almost all of his Northerns. He bragged about having over 50 emeralds total. Now he has 29 posted and some of those are recent additions. So we add another 20 or so to the list he has killed.

The proof that this post is for real.
So when you add that up by his numbers.
13 or 14
plus 20
plus 20
thats @ 53 or 54 he killed.
These are not my words or numbers but came straight from him and his posts.
Starting to see a trend here folks. How can 1 person have so many sick and infested animals and not think he is spreading it to everyone he sells to?
