Its really hard for die hard recipe keepers who specialize on a specific species of captive lines, to a point that the snakes are no longer animals, but merely a sack of genes. to get trumped by some old man who knows nothing about their hognose.

You see, recipe keepers are not about sweater boxes, as nasicus attempts to make it ALL ABOUT, they are about eachother. They believe in eachother, and treat the animals only as place holders. A tool to be "in"(a group) As I am not in that group, heck I am totally not a hognose guy, I am a reptile guy.

So he and they, will say and do anything thing they can to disparage anything I do or say. Its absolutely normal( for a child)

Whats funny is, I and we, will keep on doing and keep on getting better and doing better and that does give them reason to fear and act like children. So they do.

Whats important is, I/we will keep on posting the results we ACHIEVE, both successes and failures.

If you look at their posts here, they NEVER post failures. Or even attempts at what they are hoping to do, they wait and only post if they actually succeed.

He keeps mentioning the eggs that I killed and I did indeed wipe out some eggs. But then, I did ask for details about all things hognose related and received nothing of detail. In the two years here, maybe three posts contained something valuable related to husbandry. And none by nasicus.

His problem is, I made them feel bad, I did not call them names, I just brought up subjects they were uncomfortable with. So they tried to drive me away. They do so by attacking like you see now. The problem is, I am not a click guy, I am a reptile guy. I could give a crap what he/she/it thinks, I do care what the animals do. And of course I feel bad about screwing up some eggs and I will indeed learn from that and Hope to prevent that in the future. I not going no where. Keep on keeping on.
