Re: [aroid-l] Herps and aroids/eddoes

From: "Harry Witmore" harrywitmore at witmore.net> on 2002.09.22 at 11:44:44(9447) In my 20's I was a hardcore snake enthusiast. I have always been interested in animals and plants that not many around me were familiar with. Being that most of these animals were tropical by nature, it has evolved nicely into my passion for tropical plants. I only have a cast off Iguana that summers in a gazebo like cage in the garden. It winters in a converted closet in the house. I had a Ball python that I had fro 20 years that just recently died. Sounds like love for plants and herps is not that unusual.

I met Julius Boos in my pre-aroid days when I was in the herp club in WestPalmBeach. I have 2 red footed tortoises. Uh, just to mention aroids, they don't eat any of mine but like to hide under the large leaves. My eddoe from the grocery store developed huge leaves when planted out this year (somewhat of an accomplishment in Wisconsin's short growing season). They are almost 3 ft long and beautiful, especially for a low-cost bulb~! Susan . I am a big reptile man, and have gotten through breeding some very fine greentree pythons this year and was able to hatch out, two babies from the clutch.
