I also had a thorough tour of NERD, during the last week of August before Daytona.
I was going to be in the area to visit a relative and emailed Kara beforehand asking if I might be able to get a tour, since I am the newsletter editor for my local herp society and thought it would make a good story.
Kara didn't know me from anyone, and I wasn't even buying anything, and took at least 2 good hours out of her busy day to give me a tour of the whole facility, when she could have been preparing for the big show. I saw every single room in their breeding facility and the whole downstairs pet shop, and saw no sick animals.
They even let me snap a few photos of a just-pipped-that-day clutch of BPs, of an unnamed new morph, RIGHT BEFORE one of the biggest shows of the year.
If they had something to hide, they really have a funny way of showing it.
