Sorry to hear about the knee.</p> <p>Seeing your post reminded me of a question you had posed earlier in the year re: Philly zoo and northern vs southern in a display. I looked back at the pics and its still a southern in the display ... a detail that was completly lost on me as a "rookie". </p> <p>Here's my question for you.. are racers normally that fat or was that one well fed due to the area? </p> http://www.paherp.org/forum/topic/best-of-09-from-new-jersey-copper-project#post-408 Wed, 06 Jan 2010 02:44:48 +0000 flip3238 408@http://www.paherp.org/forum/ <p>Being layed up from my knee surgery gave me the idea to post some of my "best of" photos from my New Jersey copper project from April and May '09.
