No swine flu for me...I hope! LOL. Thanks for the kind words, I'm trying to a little of what I can to keep these guys alive in captivity, by spreading them around, before they are all gone.

Wow, Joe, sounds like a fun trip, being exhausted is just a part of it. You are just lucky not to catch the swine flue. 26 Istalnum, that is very impressive. You are doing many great things for this hobby.

Thanks! Good God man, I have never seen such huge humps on an Istlanum, looks like his head is about to burst!! I have a soon to be brother-in-law who happnes to be a British bloke, maybe next time he comes out, he can take some back for you guys?? My next trip will be for "Blancos", aka White beani from Rio San Pedro, Nayarit Mexico. Just search for Blanco and you will see...Take good care.

:ROFL: Yeah thats the first thing I said when I saw them. Looks like a tumour growing from their heads!

Let me know if he does mate, I wouldn't mind some red Istlanum!

Yeah I have seen the Blancos beani, a very nice variant, hope you are successful with them as well, need to mix the genes of beani now to get a good foot in the hobby.

Regards
Dave
