Lost Contact

adamanteus · 03-30-2007, 05:34 PM

Hi All,

I was just wondering if any of our mainland European members know a guy called Peter Geissler from Rehau in Germany, he's a real big Garter fan. He and I were pen-friends years ago, before the advent of the internet, (before the invention of the wheel!) but we lost contact a long time ago. I don't have his address anymore, so I can't write.

Found these two things about Peter Geissler.

The first is commercial with a telephonenumber (from august 2006)

The second one comes from the website *Garter Snake Home Page - Alan Francis

The webmaster knows him, I understand from the text.
Maybe he can help you.
Succes...

There appears to be some confusion amongst herpetologists as to what constitutes the "true" Florida blue garter snake - subspecies "similis" as opposed the blue coloured variant of "sirtalis". True similis are from a limited distribution on the north western Florida peninsula, and thus the majority of imported Florida garter snakes are not of this subspecies, but are merely a blue strain of Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis. After discussion and analysis of photographs with Thamnophis experts of more experience than me (personal communication, Jurgen Chlebowy, Peter Geissler, Philippe Blais MD,) I accept that my animals are of the nominate subspecies, T s sirtalis.

Thankyou Fons. I had seen that reference on Alan Francis's web site, and spoke to him about it. He too has lost contact with Peter Geissler!!

I will try that telephone number and see if I get him. Thanks again.

I'm afraid that 'phone number didn't work.....The search continues! I found an e-mail address for him on the net, but that doesn't work either.

Thamnophis · 04-01-2007, 01:16 AM

Sorry things don't work.
If I will find something I will let you know.

CrazyHedgehog · 04-01-2007, 03:43 AM

did you add 049 to the front of the number to reach germany from the uk?

adamanteus · 04-01-2007, 05:03 AM

Yes, I got the Germany code off the net. But the number doesn't ring....just the "unobtainable" tone. I found one or two e-mail addresses for him, but my mails all come back undelivered. He also has a home page....unavailable! I'll keep searching, I'll get him eventually.

Just remember, that in addition to prefacing with the country code , you also have to leave off the "0", so that the number then reads: (01)49 9283 1613.
Hope that helps.

Good news! I found Peter! I tried another e-mail address that I found on the internet (last of many I have tried) and I just received a response from him. He seems as pleased as I am to be back in contact. Thanks to everyone for their input. Love you all!

That's great news, James!
