Just to start out with...
I haven't seen Dean Ripa's profile roll through yet, but I have seen Rourk's.
The list posted was of people that had not yet been added.
I haven't figured out yet how to see the list of who has been added without personally asking Chris and I know that he is still away down south ... in Daytona.
As for wanting herp keepers and not just famous herpetologists and TV personalities, I was more shocked than I can describe to click on the website and find my own face staring back at me. I have been a very vocal proponent of safe husbandry for over a decade but hardly consider myself in a league with most of the names already rolling through. I know for a fact that several others on the current list are much too humble to have put themselves into that listing.
Be patient, I am sure that many others will show up as time permits.
Karl
PS I started this thread as the last one was getting quite long and cumbersome. This was not meant as a censorship issue but a convenience one. Enjoy. KHB

Karl,
I too have seen Rourke's spotlight pop up. I wasn't sure either on Ripa, but I'm sure that one will get addressed, as you guys are pretty much on top of things of late...I have to admit, someone has had some free time lately. The site looks better and much of the flukes that used to plague us, I haven't seen.
Perhaps you were nominated by one of your fellow herpers without your knowledge of course.
JAFO,
Matt

Hi Karl,

Thanks,
Best regards, Alex S.

Okay folks, remain calm.
1) I will look into finding Joe Slowinski.
2) I do not have the link to the Slowinski page. If someone finds it, please post it here.
3) Rudy Komarek? No!
4) So many people have asked that I have taken the time to do the research and hand type this all in. Please recognize that I am not a typist and any spelling errors are probably my errors. Here is the list so far:
Thomas Eimermacher
Roark Ferguson
Zoltan Takacs
Dean Ripa
Roger Conant
Anslem de Silva
Bob Herrington
Brian Crother
Wolfgang Wuster
Mark O'Shea
David A. Warrell
Karl H. Betz
J. Whitifeld Gibbons
Dr. Anthony Tu
Henry S. Fitch
Dr. William S. Brown
Laurence M. Klauber
Chad Minter
Capt. Al Cruz
Findlay Russell
Dr. Sean Bush
William "Bill" Haast
Chris Harper
Donald G. Broadley
Grace Olive Wiley
SK Sutherland
I am sure that the list of folks that are waiting to be added is interminable but we'll get to them as quickly as possible.
As for Steve Irwin, I guess that remains to be seen. Personally, I don't much care one way or the other. I don't really want to get into another debate of his pros and cons. That's not what this list is all about. Theoretically, this list is about people who have given something to the venomous community. As a viewer, I am amazed at all the people I am learning about, not necessarily at the people I already knew about.
Karl
PS Was it just me that was surprised to find out that Heyward Clamp and Rom Whitaker spent part of their youth working at the Miami Serpentarium for Bill Haast? KHB

Al,
I have all the information on him that I need. Now all I need is permission to use a picture of him which I have asked and am waiting for.
