Crocodile attack
A group of tubers got the scare of their life at the Mooi River near Muden. One of them had just gone over a small fall when a Crocodile lunged at him, grazed him as it grabbed his tube and took off with it. Recounting the incident he said he dose not know what happened next because they all “hightailed it out of the water” When asked if he would return for more tubing he said it was unlikely.

Kim Kardashian Herps and Chicks submission?
I was thinking how cool it would be to do a celebrity Herps and Chicks when I found this picture. Who ells would like to see Kim Kardashian submit pictures?
Where do we go from here?
Even though I did not get much sleep at all last night and the day started out talking doom and gloom with a reptile friend the day actually ended very well. I did so much thinking today and think I came a long way in getting back in focus. I think I found a way to beat the slump I have been in, its not going to be easy though, I think they key is to just stop everything ells I am doing and do what I love. I love filming and love reptiles so I need to dedicate my life to that, Hopefully sooner than later it will start paying off for me.
I have already filmed and or edited 3 videos in the last 24 hours and I am going to keep going. The show will improve, other shows will enter the planning stage tomorrow and more of my life will be on camera via the vlog account. In the end even if this venture is a complete failure I can at least say I failed doing what I love. I ask anyone and everyone to help in this process by passing the word to your friends to watch the show, watch the vlog, use the website. Tell them to tell their friends and lets make this happen.
Sea Turtle nesting explosion
Apparently Sea Turtle nesting in S. Florida is at a ten year high. The funny thing I found while looking up info on this was that up people are mostly responsible for the problems they have go figure. Apparently fishing nets, lines and cargo ships cause big problems with the turtles. Also on the list were city lights which was od to me but according to them the lights from the city disorientate the baby turtles and rather than going out to sea they go further inland and end up getting stuck in storm drains or run over.
