Ooh, I definitely want to make the Daytona show this year (I missed last years.)
And field herping sounds like fun, I have not gone out intending to catch snakes in a very long time. I always seem to just stumble on them. Ratsnakes invaded my mousery (until I got a totally secure building) and the only cornsnake that I did not buy was found in my sons bedroom. My husband saw a snake that looked like one of mine and he nonchalantly picked it up to hand to me - I quickly told him THAT's not mine. He had a worried looked at that point, lol. Fortunately it WAS a cornsnake, nothing dangerous, but my husband wouldn't know until it was too late. He once brought me a ringneck snake thinking it was one of mine

, which looked nothing like any of my snakes IMO lol.
Oh, and what is a Serpentarium trip?
take care, charlene
