He's going to one of three places out west; some people are doing various studies with his family (tinctorus). I didn't have a choice but to use an isopropyl/distilled water solution; they are checking with the lab to see if they can still extract DNA with that (he said they prefer everclear). If not, he'll go to a nice guy who's working towards his PhD, and doing a project with that family of frogs. I feel horrible that I lost him, but it's something good coming out of something bad :) Thanks again, Barbie >^,,^< [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.tripod.com/barbieheid/ "Save the whales - collect the whole set." _______________________________________________ Global Gecko Association http://www.gekkota.com Classifieds http://www.gekkota.com/cgi-gekkota/classifieds.cgi gecko mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gekkota.com/mailman/listinfo/gecko
