Guys and gals. I really hate to say this but I am going to shift focus for the time being. Dont get all excited. The show will still go on as scheduled, The website updates may not be up to the minute nor would responses be made within seconds like everyone is use to. Here is how things will go from here on out. Like I said I will still be doing the show 3 days per week just like now, hopefully this will remain a workable schedule. If not then we will touch on that when the time comes. The website will be updated daily with reptile news but not several times per day anymore, maybe just once per day and i may omit some of the news that is just to redundant. MY reason for doing this is I have been crunching numbers, meeting with people, doing everything and anything. Some of you may recall today on Face Book when I said I was checking out for a while. I did this so I could clear my head and really do some soul searching. I came to the conclusion that I do NOT want to do DRN full time, if I did it for a living I fear it would destroy it for me so I have decided to just keep it as something I enjoy doing for a hobby and thats it. If and when opportunities present themselves which I am sure they will then I may have a change of heart at that time and for the most part just deal with things on a case by case basis. I have a big meeting set for Monday at which time we will be relaunching my old business and working on coming out the gate running with it. I am supper excited about this because I am sure to succeed and bring in some good profits and bringing in those profits is what is going to ensure that DRN is around for a long long time.
This in some ways is very good news because it means the guaranteed survival of Daily Reptile News long into the future. Nothing is set in stone as of yet but the sad reality is DRN was making NO money, if I continued down the same path it would lead to disaster and ultimately lead to shutting DRN down completely. Doing it this way will allow it to still around and stay fun like it was meant to be in the first place. I greatly appreciate everyone understanding on this and look forward to working with each and everyone one of you for a long long time.
Because I will be away from the computer more often I will not be in contact with a lot of you as much as I have been. Your best bet in getting a hold of me is ether commenting on the site on this post or even in the forum then I will get it in my email and be able to read it when I am not in town. Thank you everyone for your time.
I’m glad to hear that DRN will still be around. We will miss you being as available as we are used to, but I totally understand needing to switch gears in order to provide for your family. I wish you the best in the old/new business.
If there’s any way I can help, let me know.
Hun you do what you need to do, we will all stand behind you and support what you do and no worries you can’t get rid of us that easy. Your doing something good for our reptile family and if you have figured out a way to keep it going all the power to you I wish you all the best of luck and success both with the DRN and your work. We will be here when you need us.

Thank you. I really really hate the decision. Ever since announcing it, it sounds like a bad idea I have sunk more time and money than I care to admit into this and really get disappointed that it didn’t work out how I wanted it to. Especially over the past 2 days I have not been posting every story, just picking and choosing like the old days and it feels as though its going down hill and not providing the quality of service that I should be providing. I dont know. I have until Monday before my big meeting so maybe between now and then something will change but who knows. I am currently working on new concepts for the show to give it an edge above the rest, that to has been a hard one though. I have a couple of ideas on the board but each one would probably cause me to lose a viewer here or there. I may just have to do some market research and see how things go. I plan to blog about this tonight if I can keep my eyes opened long enough to do so.
