President’s ReportHello BAARS Members and Supporters,

In August, we will have our annual Turtle and Tortoise Night at the General

Meeting. James Liu, who is the former collections manager at the Behler

Chelonian Conservation Center, will be our guest speaker. James will be talking

about the incubation of Burmese Black Mountain Tortoise (Manouria emys

phayrei) eggs and temperature-dependent sex determination. Burmese

Mountain Tortoises are a critically endangered species from Southeastern Asia

and one of the oldest tortoise species alive today. Afterwards, James is available

to answer questions about turtle and tortoise husbandry, especially in regards to

the more difficult and rarer species.

For August’s meeting, we’ll also have folks bring some of their favorite tortoises,

and give mini-presentations on these species. I’ll bring my favorite new breeding

project, Chinese “red-necked pond turtles”, Mauremys nigricans (formerly

Chinemys nigricans). These fun little water turtles are full of personality and are

pretty much guaranteed to become more scarce due to large demand from China

(demand for the pet trade!).

BAARS had a great showing at the Santa Clara County Fair, which ran from August

1st (Thursday) through August 4th (Sunday). I would especially like to thank Gil

and Dorothy Castro, who were representing both BAARS and the Silicon Valley

Branch of CTTC, and Tony and Rhonda Velez, who were there all four days. I’d also

like to thank Pete Marshall, Jim Goehring, and Scott and Joanne Petersen for

helping out at the fair, as well as all other participants and helpers!

I’d like to thank Julie Bergman, from the Gecko Ranch for being BAARS’ July

Speaker. Julie had a great slide show of many of her geckos and showed off her

setups. We’ll miss her, and we wish her good luck in her new adventures in North

Carolina.

On a personal note, I’d like to mention that yesterday was my nephew’s wedding,

which was fantastic. However, his wife’s grandfather apparently had a heart

attack at the reception and passed away last night. Certainly, a bittersweet day.

Please, Bring a Friend to a BAARS meeting! Hope to see you in August!

Sincerely,

Scott Alexander, BAARS Interim President, 2013

Santa Clara County Fair was a Blast!

by Rhonda Velez

Let's hear it for the "Reptile Roadies"! Hip Hip Hurray! We will never be able to thank Gil and Dorothy

Castro adequately. They both spent hours inviting and arranging for reptile groups to join them and their

sweet little shelled pets at the Santa Clara County Fair. Over twenty of us responded to their call and put in

volunteer time at "The World of Reptiles" paddock. The fair opened every day at noon and we showed

animals until close to or after nine every night.

Great big THANK YOUs to the following:

● Gil, Dorothy, and Baby, Lesa, Keith, and others from SVCTTC

● Juan Landazuri, Andy Rea, Justin and Gabriella Turpin of CCHS

● Tony and Rhonda, Scott A., Ken Wong, Pete, Jim, Cosme, Scott and Joanne of BAARS

● Diane Shaw and Friends

● Austin and Aria and friends of Critter Kids and BAARS

● Tania and Michael for MickaCoo, Mickaboo, Art For The Birds and BAARS

● Rick and Lila Porters and friends of Reptile Realms

● Dave and Desiree of Rainbows R Us

This year's fair theme was "Your Heart's Delight". Tony and I both looked forward with joyful anticipation to

this event. We could not imagine what four straight days of presenting would be like. Well, it was

terrifically rewarding and totally tiring. My heart was delighted to share my love for children, education,

and especially all our animals. I think my heart muscles were the only muscles NOT sore after the fair!

Cosme went home Saturday with a new pet. He's wanted a Hoggie for some time. Juan had brought the

Madagascar Hog Nose from Salinas' Jurassic Pet Store. What a pretty animal, long and lean, with the colors

of a tall glass of iced coffee. Cosme brought his Bearded Dragon and Iguana on Saturday. Wow, that great

big beautiful lizard got tons of attention Saturday and Sunday. Many were shocked that those tiny little

green babies sold in retail pet stores grow up to be so massive, colorful, and demanding.

1Page 4

We thoroughly enjoyed just kicking back and people watching, it was a great pastime between visitors.

Gil, Tony, and Rick Porter of Reptile Realms set up on Wednesday the 31st. Fair visitors trickled through on

Thursday and Friday, but terrific crowds bombarded us all weekend.

Sharing this venue with others "in the field" was educational. I learned that, besides protein, silkworms

provide calcium and moisture. Scott and Joanne's leopard gecko munched on a few to the delight of

onlookers Sunday afternoon. Who would have thought a tomato worm could be a pet? Reptile Realms sold

single horn worms. Kids took them home in a clear cottage cheese container with a couple of tomato leaves

and a piece of black netting for a climber. Um? And I thought people that had snakes were peculiar.

Juan allowed folks to touch his pet scorpion on Sunday. Juan securely held its stinger tail, and sure enough,

the brave would reach over and give it a little pet. Most would drop a dollar in the donation jar as they left

the table, maybe because they were glad they had not gotten stung! Juan wondered if there's an unwritten

rule … pay a dollar - pet a scorpion? Austin put a donation jar on the concrete floor when he took Daisy out

for petting and photos.

I ran a Spin-A-Prize Wheel with a suggested one dollar donation to play. I allowed some children to just

drop in some coins to spin, I'm a sucker for a little smile. I kept a loose tally; the total was around $200.

Dorothy, Joanne, Tony and I filled eleven empty ice cream tubs with prizes. Kids could win Mardi Gras

beads, plastic reptiles, spider rings, pencils, squishy frogs, and assorted other fun stuff. There are plenty of

prizes left to dole out at our BAARS Trick-Or-Treat Costume Party meeting on October 25th and the holiday

potluck party as well. Members have suggested we take the wheel to shows or meetings. The fair seemed

to refresh us and got us to thinking how much fun we all have when we get together.

1Page 5

We potlucked in and around the expensive fair food. A single corn dog was $4.50! The Mexican food vendor

was from Salinas, the owners just live a few blocks away from Tony and Rhonda. Tony and I shared one of

their plates of nachos, a mouth- watering combination piled high with at least seven ingredients. The

nachos with a soda were $11.00. The Castros brought bottled water, colas, and candy. The Velezs brought an

ice chest with sandwiches, fresh fruit, and yogurt. Lesa and Tony walked around and served assorted

pastries. Someone brought tortilla chips and delicious salsa on Sunday. Jim had ice cold pop for us on

Sunday.

Yes, we repeatedly answered the same questions, told the same jokes, but occasionally we got someone

who grabbed our attention. Sometimes we answered a question for a worried pet owner, or steered them

towards the correct resource. We had club business cards and flyers at every table. Visitors from all over

California visited our animals. We hope to see Donavon from Ripon at a Central Valley Herp meeting in the

future. This young man visited our tables every day during his fifteen minute breaks. His parents were also

working the fair. This is exactly why we participate in events. Reaching out to a young enthusiast is so

rewarding. Forcing ourselves beyond our comfort zone is crucial for the future of our clubs. You can shout

the wonderfulness of social networking until you are blue in the face and you will never convince me that

any electronic device will ever replace a kind smile, engaging conversation, and a parting hug or sincere

handshake.

additional words by Joanne Hiratsuka-Petersen

Rhonda, thanks for writing your review of the event -- and a special THANK YOU

for your excellent fund-raising efforts! Another special THANK YOU to Austin

and Daisy for their contributions from their photos. Everyone loved having

their photo taken with Daisy, and we benefited. We are very lucky to have such

dedicated, creative, and smart members.

The displays were awesome -- Pete, Scott A., Tony and Gil brought huge cages

and big snakes, tortoises, and reptiles too! It's no wonder we had so many

people in our area, even though we were in a separate building from the main

fair vendors. On the other hand, being in that separate building gave us a lot of

room for displays, and BAARS members stepped up to the plate!

I have to say that I was very impressed with the time and effort everyone put

into the County Fair, and I was also very impressed with the attendance and

opportunities to further interact with new potential reptile keepers! I

definitely plan to attend next year again, and hopefully for more hours than I

was able to do this time around.

BAARS as an Educational Organization

by Scott Alexander

I'm a little surprised that some of us might just view BAARS as a social club. This is a very simplistic anddismissive assessment, which isn't correct and ignores some of the primary reasons for BAARS' existence.

Have we forgotten that BAARS is primarily an educational organization?

Is it so easy to dismiss the numerous educational programs that BAARS had done over the years? So manypeople who take a new appreciation of habitat conservation, by actually touching a snake or a lizard. I guesssome of us have moved away from sharing our animals with the public, but please, don't forget aboutthose of us that do. We have done much to educate the public about the need for habitat conservation andhabitat preservation.

We not only to educate the public, but also hobbyists. The care and proper husbandry of reptiles has beenthe focus of numerous meetings and newsletter articles over the years. Our most advanced and successfulmembers often share their knowledge about critical success factors of breeding. We have had breeders ofbearded dragons, king snakes, pythons, boas, and others speak at our general meetings. We have had BobApplegate speak on breeding colubrids, Adam Britton speak on Crocodilians, and other distinguishedspeakers over the years. There are many healthier and happier reptiles around because of BAARS.

BAARS has nurtured and supported the formative years of some herpetologists. Richard A. Ross, MD, wasan early member of BAARS. Dr. Ross wrote the "The Reproductive Husbandry of Pythons and Boas", andlater went on to help found the International Herpetological Symposium. James W Hatfield, who wrote"Green Iguana: The Ultimate Iguanas Owner's Manual", also was a BAARS member years ago. James Liu,who is studying to be a veterinarian and is the past collections manager for the Behler Chelonian Center,grew up with BAARS. Dr. Beth Dawson, a professor at San Jose State and University of Texas at Austin, was astaunch BAARS member and supporter. I'm sure that there are many other noted BAARS alumni thatI'mneglecting to mention.

Let's also not forget about the numerous herps that BAARS (and BAARS members) have helped rescue overthe years.

BAARS has successfully been helping facilitate the adoption of reptiles and amphibians for decades. As weknow, most animal shelters don't take in reptiles or amphibians, so let's also recognize that this is a usefulservice which has been supported by BAARS and BAARS members for many years now.

BAARS has the newsletter, educational events, and the general meetings (with informative guestspeakers). These three activities have effectively served as a useful purpose in educating the public aboutreptiles and amphibians for over 35 years now, longer than many of us have been alive. With the boardshelp and focus, I'm hopeful that BAARS will be able to be around for another 35 years.

For these reasons, I believe it's rather simplistic and dismissive to just characterize BAARS as a "SocialClub".

Sincerely,

Scott Alexander

● Silkworms, a great nutritional resource, are available from Coastal Silkworms and Mulberry Farms.

● Dorothy donated 20 dollars to have Gabi recreate our first piece of t-shirt art for use on Cafepress.

(Editor’s Note: The work has been completed, the compensation enthusiastically received, the images

Survey Results and Meeting Time Changes for 2014

The Board received 12 responses to the survey. Thank you! Percentage-wise, this is a reasonable returnrate, though we were hoping for more input. The board is assuming that non-respondents do not have astrong opinion in the matter of our General Meeting time, location, and day of week. The one thing mostrespondents agreed on was a desire for an earlier meeting time.

As a result, the board decided to keep the meeting day and location the same, but move to an earlier timestarting in January of 2014 (if we can get our room rental times adjusted): Doors open 7 p.m. / Presidentstarts meeting at 7:15 p.m. / 7:45 Speaker starts / Social time ~ 9 - 10 pm. We believe this will make it easierfor families to attend and enjoy our speakers, and the social time at the end allows for flexible planning.

We will also continue to schedule additional and social events on other days and times for greater variety.For example, our Annual Picnic will be on Saturday over lunch, and our Holiday Party will again be on aSaturday in the late afternoon.

Sadly, it is impossible to make our meeting times, days, and locations perfect for everyone, but we arehoping that with these changes, more members will be able to attend our General Meeting and clubevents.

Treasurer’s Reportby Scott Petersen

This report covers the club’s fiscal activities for July 2013.

The month of July showed a $42.47 negative cash flow. The negative cash flow for this month can be easily

explained. Rather than waiting until August to cut the stipend check for the August general meeting

speaker, we cut both the July and August speaker stipends in July to save time. If we had deferred the

second stipend check until August, we actually would have had a positive cash flow for July. One good piece

of news, effective immediately, the Cubberley Community Center has lowered our monthly general

meeting room rent by 17% for the next fiscal year (August 2013 through July 2014). Given that our meeting

room rent is our largest expense, this will definitely help.

Expenses for the month included our general meeting room rental, July & August speaker stipend, and

June & July hardcopy newsletter printing and postage costs.

Income for July came membership renewals, a stipend from PAMP (Palo Alto Menlo Park Parents

Association for participating in their College Terrace Library event, the general meeting food donation jar,

and the Sulphur Creek and College Terrace events donation jar. A big thanks goes out to Gary and Ginger for

hosting the food at our July general meeting (mmmmm cookies...)

Total assets for the club also were $3,357.67 as of the end of July.

Posting Date: ___YTD 5/31/2013 6/31/2013 7/30/2013

Expenses $1678.64 $128.00 $155.00 $229.00

Income: $1300.28 $304.98 $85.00 $186.00

Cash flow: -$378.36 $176.78 -$70.00 -$42.47

In the Newssubmitted by Peter Moravcsik

This new species was described on the Russian Journal of Herpetology, vol. 20, No. 2 2013, based on thecomparative evidence of morphology and bone structure with other species of snakes recorded inVietnam and China.The specimens of the new species were collected in Cao Bang, Lang Son and Vinh Phuc, at an altitude of800m to 1.800m. The new species is named Azemiops kharini, after Russian zoologist Vladimir Kharin.Thisspecies is the second silver viper species of the Azemiops family and it is the 60th poisonous snakespecies out of more than 210 species of snakes recorded in Vietnam.More: http://tinyurl.com/mwanfmc

Sulphur Creek Reptile Rally

by Pete Marshall

The Sulphur Creek Reptile Rally was held on July 27. The day started out kind of overcast, but the sun

quickly came out and warmed up the day--just right for having a reptile show in the park.

The show was attended by myself, Tony (without Rhonda, because she had to work). Ginger and Gary came

with a really big tortoise in to--or was it the other way around? May I say, for the first time this year, they

arrived on time--good for them.

Gil and Dorothy came to round out our display of tortoises. They had a nice setup, and all those that

stopped by really enjoyed talking with them about the animals they had with them.

Peter came with his amazing collection of native herps. His collection of alligator lizards is truly something

to see.

Joanne and Scott brought Tegus and more. It is always good to have them at the show with us.

Eric came out with his awesome Blue Beauty snakes; and some beautiful California King snake. His King is so

black, and the white is so white, which makes for one awesome King snake. It almost looks like a 50/50 Cal

king, but it’s not.

Sulphur Creek set up a table to show off some of what it has to offer. Also, they provided free face painting,

which was a nice touch. I saw a lot of kids with reptiles on their faces. Very cute!

1Page 11

In all, the show went very well. Over 1000 people came out to see us this year. And I think all had a good

time doing what we do best, and that’s offer snakes and lizards to play with.

Also, to add to the fun, Sulphur Creek gave us sheets of stickers that read, “I touched a snake today.” I got

to give out a few. One couple came up to me, and the husband had to take his wife’s hand and put it on a

snake. She just could not do it. After he did that, she admitted that it was not that bad after all, and I had to

give her an “ I touched a snake today” sticker.

This is a good time to add that if you have not come and worked a reptile show in the name of BAARS, it is

something you really need to try. It’s a great way to help the club and meet new people. And best of all,

help someone get over their fear and get them to earn a “I touched a snake today” sticker.

In closing, I want to thank all the members that came out to help me put on another great reptile rally at

Sulphur Creek.
