were you expecting any of these awesome younguns to say they don't?



The really young herpers are what keep our awesome lifestyle afloat. I do however want you young guys to know that you are welcome to post questions in the other forums. You should not have to stick to the "herps and kids forum" because of your age. You guys are certainly more intelligent than some of the folks that post on the "adult" forums (I guess this is where I should say don't trust ALL the advice you get on these forums). This is also not the only domain out there with good herp forums. Look at the bottom of sepultura4ever's post for a good one. By the way, just to add my two cents: There is a guy who claims he is going to try and turn every new herper into a hybrid lover. DO NOT LISTEN TO HIM!!! You know as well as I do that these herps are already awesome in their natural state! It would be downright wrong to try and improve on them by purposely breeding different species together. Trust me, 99% of the respectable herpetoculturists are anti-hybrid, and you will become much more respectable by keeping pure bloodlines than by trying to cross a corn snake with a Gray-banded kingsnake. I am dedicated to convince you that hybrids are useless and serve no scientific purpose, but when you are all familiar with the natural species I probably will not have to convince you. Keep herping dudes! If the hobby gets frustrating, don't give up. I made that mistake when I was very young and it really put me at a disadvantage. Luckily I had already formed an intense addiction. You can ask sepultura4ever or snakeguy. At the next expo they'll probably have to hide my credit cards from me (I guess this is where I should say don't buy herps without balancing your checkbook).
