I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the assistance, incouragement, and inspiration that was an integral part of the concept, research and development of this site. Please note that this is not a complete list, and as this site progresses, more names will be added.

First and foremost, a special thanks to my fiance, Marissa, for her patience and encouragement. To my parents, as they not only allowed but encouraged my pursuits and interest with the creepy-crawlies of this earth, I owe a debt of gratitude. A special thanks to my father who has been by my side for the great majority of the reptiles I have had the opportunity to observe in the wild.

Amongst the many good people of the reptile world the following are those who have freely shared with me their experience, knowledge and time. Many I have had the opportunity to spend time with in the field, and the few I haven't yet, I hope to in the not too distant future, these people are Jason Jones, Robert W, Hansen, Dustin Wood, the late Lloyd Lemke, Kerry Crowther, Jerry Feldner, Marty Feldner, Tom Brennan, Dr. L. Lee Grismer, Richard Hoyer and Paul Lynum.

Without the above cast playing their respective roles, this website would be complete already! (though in fairness, it would not be much of a site at all.)
