Dave Long
Ben German

Troy Hibbitts
Gus Renfro
for their company, teaching, and excellent example in the field.
Randy Wright

by far my better half, for creating this web page, helping to manage the critters, keeping an eye out to make sure I wash my hands after leaving the snake room, and mostly for putting up with me.
