frank,



i did not read you whole responses, not will i.



i did catch the "kid" comment though. i'm 35 yrs old, not a kid



when i was a kid, i used to read every thing i could about reptiles and nature. i got by first boa for a pet when i was 12 yrs old. i am just a small time hobbyist, but have been at it for over 20 yrs



i don't doubt that you have a lot of experience with reptiles and especially field herping. HOWEVER, i have not asked any questions about field herping. you always respond with comments about how they are in nature, although you have not observed every reptile out there.



so far, i have asked questions about captive breeding hognose. you have never failed to respond by commenting and saying that "it's all about me when it should be about the snakes", which is not true. if it was, they would still be in the wild.



you have a way of writing down to people and making it seem like other people don't know anything because they do not have your filed experience. if i was asking about field herping, you might have a leg to stand on. EVEN IF I WAS asking about something you had vastly more experience at, you still have no right to talk down to people. maybe it's the way you are all the time. personally, i chose not to be around people like that in person or read there stuff on here.



when i ask questions on here, i am mainly directing them to people with people with experience keeping and breeding hognose such as gregg, troy, billy, or a dozen other guys that have given good advice about captive breeding experience without the condescending attitude.



all of that being said, by all means......



FEEL FREE TO STOP RESPONDING TO THIS "KID'S" POST



i am not going to read them, and you are wasting your time. although from the extreme number of lengthy post you clutter this forum with, you seem to like to see your writing all over the place.



funny part is, i have literally had 4 other people pm me and share the same feelings :/



jonathan
