Its not every day you read a story in the international news about someone you know

[steingar]

Just reading this story on the BBC. Terry Wilkins is an old herper friend who runs a store here in town. Didn't know he had another location. Apparently one of his snakes got a little bit away from him.

Mrs. Steingar refers to his business establishment as "the smelly store" since the odor of lots of reptiles rather permeates the place. They say there's no such thing as bad publicity...

Herper?

No, it's just a cold sore.

Herper?

Herpetological hobbyist, though Terry is a pro. The funniest thing is there are some very restrictive laws in Ohio adjacent owning large constrictors that Terry was trying to overturn. I think this is rather going to throw a wrench in his efforts.

But really, when is the last time you saw a friend's name in a story on the BBC? He made it onto CNN even.

Nearly eaten by his own python. This isn't going to get old soon.
