Thanks Andy, glad you like them

We have more after Ed too, just to confuse you further There are still three vet speakers (who are all experienced Chelonia/exotic vets) to come and then we have Reptile Keeping magazine for December. You can follow our years events on our webpage (the web address appears under my signature). There is a page for meetings and it gives you all the dates and speakers for the year ahead.

Look forward to meeting you. Wonder which one you will decide upon

Maybe, Andy might consider talking to the group about his experiences in successfully breeding the Indian Star Tortoises?
I'm sure that this would be a very popular subject, and would be great to learn more about. Having bred them now for several years in a row, he looks to be creating a whole constellation of "Stars"!!

I've been meaning to update this... I'm gonna have to adjust my topic to the Husbandry of Testudo (one americans perspective). I thought this might be a little more interesting for the group.

(Kelly... you will be there)
