If it wasn’t for Andrew, it is unlikely I would be as totally addicted to Tiliqua as I am. I have no doubt that I was meant to be working with these guys from the day I was born, but if Andrew hadn’t taken the time to share his knowledge and exerience with me in the begining of my journey, there is no way I would have gotten to where I am now. I am eternally grateful.


Thanks Jeff! You're one of the classiest guys I know.You are truly a person I can trust and I know we shall be friends forever.

Did I tell you that Christine and I are going to start breeding Sphynx cats!? It's more her deal than mine but of course my hand is always in the cookie jar!

Best regards,

Andrew

Not any more. Not for a long time. It's sad but its just impossible to breed them and sell them for dirt cheap. I just can't stomach it. Imagine if I spent all my money and time to be under cut by some wholesaler who can offer them for 100 dollars. What's really getting my goat is that IJs and Indos are 150 dollars and often close to 200 at the shows now here in California! And we're talking IMPORTS! Incredible...

Anyways, how's it going with the anery Indos? They are going for big money but several people seem to have them. I have pictures of two people who have been breeding them. I'll try to get the photos up here soon.

Andrew here is the reason why I've been so successful breeding my Meraukes --he passed his ideas (not to mention my first producing animals) on to me, and I'm about to embark on my fourth breeding season.

So glad to see your website updated, and hope the move is smooth and successful so we can see a ton more of you from now on.

Its so fantastic to see you back and breeding again, for those of us who are new comers to the breeding side of keeping bts having the opportunity to purchases babes directly from you is just an incredible prospect! I can't wait now to see what the coming years will bless you with, surely if anyone deserves a good luck streak its you.

I sent you a pm about the available babes, I pretty well tapped out for buying bts this year but I think I can squeeze one more outta my wallet before the years through. :P

Hi Richard!

Great to hear from you! Yes.. animals with a lot of black on them - as much as possible. :)

Here in the USA there are the completely melanistic Easterns and the albinos already been bred. They should be available in a year or two. I wish I had them. LOL.

Hi Susann!

Great to see you. You're too kind to me. You're doing ALL of the work believe me. I'm really happy you're keeping it going! We need captive bred animals here. Do you think you'll eventually get into other blue tongues?

Best regards,

Andrew

Hahaa, believe me, I'm being pressured from a couple directions, been told I MUST own Northerns! I'm sure it will happen down the road, but as it is right now I need more space for the animals I already own, and as we'll likely look at moving within the next two, three years, I'm not real keen on converting a room in this house to a reptile room...
It'll happen, just not anytime real soon :wink:
