Hi BJ,

Thanks for the report from Jeffs weekend getaway. Jessica and I really wanted to come up for it, but couldn't due to other commitments. It sounds like lots of work got done. I see a lot of names and faces that I don't recognize from the spring weekend. I'm looking forward to going to the next one in the spring (there is going to be one in the spring, right Jeff?).

[JD@reptiles]

he made me promis to come back in the spring, so there better be one :p

Yeah, Jeff said they'll be doing a spring thing...;)

[Jeff Hathaway]

Hey guys,

I'm definitely hoping for a spring weekend!

The chicken (Tanya) lives in the herp room because she's Jenny's pet chicken... and yes, she does lay eggs! Our herp room is a bit different from most peole's...

Bob sent me three more photos and Jeff explained to me how he obtained the eastern hognose in the learning room.

Thanks for editing the journal, BJ! For those who didn't read the update, the hognose is on loan to us for the winter from Wasaga Beach PP, where it is a permanent captive. It was found injured and deemed unreleasable, and is now used for their educational programs.
