Why would you feel kind of silly?

Only a couple of years ago.

Also getting okeetees from the Loves are just awesome!! I can definitely imagine why you are so happy~~!!

I am waiting for mine to lay and hatch~~ they're also from Kathy~

I remember reading that you (Simon) spent some time with Kathy Love. Was it a great experience or what?!

My new okee won't even poke his head out of his hide. He's still a bit freaked from his long journey. Seems much more nervous than my baby blizzard. I also got the baby blizzard from Kathy and he's doing fantastic! He's developed a tremendous appetite~~woo-hoo!

How do you feed all thoses babies, Simon? lol

cheers!

tree,

yeah I have spend some time with Kathy. I can tell you this for sure. It was one of my best experience in my life. I couldn't believe how great she can be. Not even now!! It was like a dream come true~~

She taught me so much stuff and I tried to learn all (but obviously I don't think that anyone can learn everything by just talk...so actual experience does help out a lot)

One of my best experience in my life!!! If I had the time I would definitely do it again (of course making sure that Kathy would accept me again.....LOL)

How do I feed all my babies? Just drop the little pinky in and let them do their work. Some may require some teasing (which is a real pain in the butt, but still at least they eat)

And it takes around 1-2 days just to feed.....lol~~

Hey Simon--

That's so cool that you got to mentor with Kathy. Your website looks so professional and the photos are excellent! Good work man!

I fed my new Okee this morning and he was nervy at first but then gave in and had himself a good meal.

Simon-- Do you have any Nelson Milks?

tree,

yeah it was definitely worth the plane ticket to get to Kathy's place and give up a bit of my holiday (since I was in Japan before I head to Kathy's place)

Man...it was just great!!! Thanks on the comment on both the web site and the photo taking. I have to thank Bill Love for giving me some clues on how to take some good shots....he is a professional in taking great photos. You see his name on almost all reptilian magazine and he is also a writer of some of those articles. So other than learning from Kathy Love, I also got to learn how to take some photo shots from Bill....and he was so nice that he even let me drove his truck~~ (teaching me how to drive a manuel car....LOL)

I sold all my nelsoni already. I used to have a few breeding groups of albino nelsoni milks but since I have too many corns I had to let them go.....I don't even have any ball pythons left in my collection...lol~~ Oh well...
