YOUR NOT THE ONLY ONE!!! Are we accepting ALL the aspects of keeping live reptiles in captivity? How in the world would the vet be able to predict how long boa A, B or C would pass on during euthanasia!!!? Its so easy to place blame, instead of thinking, looking at records you kept on your boas(most do not) or other reasons your boa went down hill. Have all of you that are judging the vet done fecals on every boa in your collection before letting it come in contact with another boa? That is part of the responcibility we should take on in keeping reptiles in captivity! Most don't even worm their dogs anually...all dogs that step out doors can get worms!!!!! How many of you that judge the vet, have "cleaned out" new purchases or done fecal exams..whether captive or WC before introducing them into your boa collections? Very few I'd guess! The not knowing and emotions, as in my last post, are clouding your judgements..not the fact that many are driven by litters, sales on the classifieds,the market value of that locality or "color morph" and the lack of accepting the ethics and morality of keeping reptiles captive in herpetoculture!
