The collage photo at the top of this page was created by Matt Malatte and thanks is given to him for his wonderful effort. The green iguana (Toto) and the amelanistic corn snake (Navajo) are my own critters. The New Guinea tree frog (Tad P. Frog) belongs to Jan McArthur and the red footed tortoise (Bogart) belongs to Matt.
