No, I didnt just get a trio :)

With permission from Crocdoc I am posting a link to this video. The video is a teaser of his trip to Indonesia to see the dragons in the flesh. Its very well done and I look forward to the full video.

Enjoy! Komodos rock so hard its not even funny :rockon:

Hey Tokay...you wanna go halfsies with me on a pair? We'd probably have to buy a barn or something to set them up. And get a lead on some culled cows or goats. Oh, and spend a little time in prison. Totally worth it though. :lol:

Too cool for school thats for sure.

I do not like to travel. Not at all. But Ive wanted to see Komodos in the wild since I was old enough to know what a Komodo was. Maybe some day.

I can actually remember the first time I saw a Komodo. I was just a little boy, dont remember exactly how old but very young. My father and I were watching a nature show. Might have been Wild Kingdom as thats pretty much all that was around back then. The dragons came out and I just...I dont know I just spaced out. Just mesmerized by them. I even remember what my father said and my reply.

He said "What do you think of them, pal?"

And all I could say was:

"Dad they're BIG!"

I flew overseas the first time this year, long flight just to europe but I want to go to Australia one day so I am going to have to plan a very long trip to go here to....some month long sabbatical, next year I will enough vacation time to take a month straight off just don't know how the hell I can afford to go away for that long.

We'll figure it out sometime here....:yessir:

Thats part of the problem. Based on what I do for a living I just cant leave for that length of time. Month long trips will most likely have to wait until I retire. I could sneak away for a week but thats not enough time for me. If I haul my butt all the way to Indo-freakin'-nesia Im gonna set a spell. I gotta be there at least 2-3 weeks bare minimum to take it all in. Australia as well. Couldnt hack just being there a few days.

I really like Crocdoc. Ive only communicated with him briefly on the forums but hes a smart guy. Really knows his stuff. Ive learned a lot from him.

Plus he has a taste for the theatrical so his videos are always fun to watch. The baby lacies and perenties eating is a classic.
