Kirby has sent another set of beautiful images for October. Check them out if you haven't already done so.
*********SPECIAL NOTICES*********
Starting soon (spring 2003) I will have a special notice board for egg availability on site.
This will be for items (species) that my father and I usually do not offer. It is too time consuming for me to send out individual notices when I receive email from members offering eggs, but there are some interesting species that members sometimes have available and I hate to see you miss out on them. I will begin posting in spring if you advise me by email of availability.
********NEWSLETTERS:***********
The Mothly Newsletter (not a typo) will be sent out monthly via email.
If you do not wish to receive the newsletter, let me know and I will remove your name from the newsletter mailing list. Same applies to "Sphinx Express" for the fast-fliers' enthusiasts.
*********SPECIAL REQUESTS*********
