KerryKing: i am the only one with reptiles PHFaust: Giant Keeper your turn giantkeeper: Kerry, If things with the band slow down, will you ever get into reptiles full time? I live in AZ and there is always talk of your animals and stuff here. Although I hope the band stuff keeps going strong, we would love to have you more involved with the keeping and breeding of boas...ok reptiles in general. If you ever want to see some descent boas and want a Guinness, we’ll get together!!!! http://www.giantkeeperreptiles.com KerryKing: reptiles will someday be more towards full time FourStrings88: Kerry , Do you ever take any herps on the road? KerryKing: it’s definitely fun breeding morphs and waiting for new stuff to pop up miatchguy: ? PHLdyPayne: speaking of boas, saw some nice red tails...they certainly get big....but do have nice pattern. As for studding your snow to my ghost...will keep it in mind.

PHFaust: Chez your turn Philip Niforatos: In regards to your line of Brazillian amarali....who did you acquire your first animals from, and also are you currently working with amarali, or do you have plans to again?? When is Slayers next tour into the midwest...Chicago area?? PHFaust: Eunectes4 your turn eunectes4: WIth reptiles being more exposed to the public such as Britney Spears, Slash, Alice Cooper, yourself, and plenty of rock stars the hobby has grown significantly. Many states are now seeing problems and proposing bans specifically on venomous snakes. Since the hobby is showing a pure lack of ability to regulate itself would you think a educational promotion by celebrities (responsible ones who do not throw snakes on stage) would be effective as they have used celebrities to advertise toward these bans? KerryKing: i think it’s a good possibility KerryKing: it would have to be thought out by someone wholeheartedly eunectes4: would you be willing to support such? KerryKing: to work KerryKing: possibly PHFaust: Alex your turn eunectes4: thank you KerryKing: good question by the way! crazychameleon23: ? Flying_Frog: ? PHFaust: Imridethe lightening your turn imridethelghtng: kerry have you ever thought about doing anything or have you done anything to help with reptile conservation or to help get good publicity spread with all the laws being passed trying to ban reptiles us hobbyist need all the help we can get your a retic keeper as well as i am so you understand also it was nice of you to agree to be here tonight thank you for your time Simbo: Have you been breeding South Brazilian boas for a long time now? Also, how did your line of these boas get started (did you import them directly)? KerryKing: sure, happy to be here......i think it’s important for people to be educated about reptiles before they keep them, but people should be able to keep reptiles as they like.....i am interested in conservation PHFaust: Hades your turn HadesBP18: have you ever been bitten by any of your snakes? i heard retics were hard hitters KerryKing: no, but they love to bite my wife’s face!!! KerryKing: she doesn’t appreciate it HadesBP18: hah! Nice HadesBP18: thanks for answering KerryKing: i’ve been bitten plenty by other stuff though PHFaust: Philip your turn.... Philip Niforatos: Are the Brazilian amarali that your currently working with from your original animals?? And who did you acquire your original animals from??
