The Snake Keeper Blog

Just a short write here. Today is 9/11 I have something to say about today. A year ago I was talking to my wife about the “We will never forget” slogan we always here about today. I was like what is the big deal……..I really did not like it. But now look how things have changed. Now our President has made it a national day of service. Not a day of rememberance. This is WRONG. We do not want what really happened on this day 8 years ago erased from our childrens minds. We must teach our kids what really happened and we have to “NOT FORGET” we can not let down our guard. Today I understand that old slogan and agree with it. Fly your flag proudly today and everyday you can and stand for truth and freedom. Tomorrow you may loose yet another freedom so celedrate today. I was having to explain to my girls yesterday about the plane that did not make it to the target on 9/11. Those people are my heros they knew what had to be done and they did it and made the ultimate sacrfice. The Firefighters are my heros, all the people in the towers and on the ground…..HEROS. Families and loved ones left behind to pick up the pieces and move forward with their lives…….HEROS. All have thier reward in heaven waiting for them.

Fly your flag remember who you are and stand for what is right and remember what our country was built on the Constitution. Som eof our leaders and not doing a very good job upholding it. Write and call your Congressman and Senators tell them how you feel. They need to know what you think. You have the right to VOTE use it or you may loose it.

Okay back to snakes. UPS just brought me a boxs full of snakes. Some new Green Tree Pythons. Got to go get them put away.

Well the Anaheim show is over and was a great success. We were very pleased with the sales at the show. Brian and Bob did a great job as always putting on a great show. So we have been home for three days now and we are about cought up on the work here. Having some employees here to help makes all the difference.

Getting back to what I was tweeting on yesterday Colette is still putting snakes in the “mine” rack. I just did a quick count and she is up to 108 snakes she is holding back. So here is a tid bit for you. If you see any animals listed in the future that say there were hold backs you know you are getting something extra special. I doubt she will hold all those over the next year but for now they are staying here. She usually keeps them for a little while then decides what she really wants and sells the rest.

I have another rack and a half to photograph today and then I will be caught up on pictures. Soon as that is done I have some pics I just have to share with you. The hypo pastel mojave is just a sight to see. I just had to stare at it when I took it out for pics. Hey thanks for the comments on the blog. The more people comment the better it will be and make a good read for people. Well got to go if I start now I may be done by lunch with the pics. When each snake gets four pics each and I have about 100 snakes to do the math tell you I have a lot of work to get done.
