    The photo didn't quite meet the theme of the competition this month, he wasn't a scaly friend. Hard to believe it's been nearly a year since we lost the man most responsible for starting me down the slippery slope that currently stands at 13 garters.

    RIP John - you wanted to inspire the next generation of keepers, you should be proud of your work.

    Good post Chris. I miss talking with my friend. When I would call him at the hospital he'd tell everyone in the room to watch themselves because he was talking to a cop. Looks like John would have had another birthday on the 23rd. R.I.P my friend.

    We all have been there and will feel that way again. Hang in there.

    I like to think that he'd be overjoyed at the fact that his snakes have kept on giving. There's a very happy 11 year old snake keeper here in Scotland that has a 'John special', marcianus (along with many other, older recipients).
    Keeping - 'Florida blue' sirtalis, concinnus, infernalis, parietalis, radix, marcianus and ocellatus.

    You're right, he'd be chuffed to bits to know that his snakes are continuing to inspire new keepers.
