A couple of things Jon, condescending is odd. As its you that precieve me that way, as in better then you. I never claim to be better then any one. I may have more experience then you or many others. But that does not make better then.



I would never argue with Gregg about producing hognose. Why, because he has way more experience then I. I would and did suggest a method of nesting that helps the females. He listened then applied what I was saying in his way in his circumstances. That's how its done. Its not about worse or better or right or wrong. That is your view.



About argumentative, I do have experience and if I have seen something hundreds of times, and I report it to you and you are the one that fights back and forth about it. Well its you being argumentative.



Also, If someone has lots of experience and some one else is new, in the area of husbandry, the one with lots and lots of successful experience is superior to the other. In that sense.



You seem to think your know so much, and are willing to fight about it. That is what is odd. Like fronts, you were dead set that its all about temps, when any one with experience knows there is more to it then temps. Like barometric pressure or something we do not have a label for.



If you wanted to talk about how snakes sense the world around them, I would love to have that talk and would offer you some interesting things to think about.



But that's not you, you are new and think your smart. Only theres a problem with that. Smart is knowing the effects of experience. Heres something to think about, you could be five times smarter then me. But I would still know more about snakes then you. Why? because I have been doing what "your" doing for a very long time. Think about that. Think about what you would know 40 years from now, then think about some kid arguing with you. Best wishes
