Likewise :) I'm very well thank you, quite a bits changed. Finally finished moving and managed to get an apprenticeship with a local (ish) contractor in Joinery, so I'll be up here for at least the next four years :) How about yourself? Been back to trinidad much? and hows your new Ant room doing, I remember you had just finished setting up the plumbing for it last... I think?

Thanks Richard. Problem is most of the people who would read this are Reptile enthusiasts. I noticed the clear divide this year at the two shows I went to. The Reptile show at Doncaster produced no real leads, infact the most common enquiry there was can you help me get rid of Black Ants! At the Entomological show it was a different story. So I think its the right article in the wrong place!
