I've been posting on ks forums for the past 4-5 years. I've been a reptile enthusiast my entire life. 2 breeding seasons ago, I encountered a problem with a female bp laying eggs. I called a few big breeders and the ones I talked to said they had never heard of such a thing. There was one that apologized and plainly stated that he was too busy to look at the pictures I had posted on KS of the problem. I finally got in touch with someone that had experienced the same problem...Cory Woods. He advised me to do immediate surgery and walked me through what I needed to do. He told me that an egg had twisted in the oviduct. Anyway, the eggs were all fine - including the egg that got twisted. The female that laid the eggs survived for about 6 months, but then sadly, she passed. The moral is- that not everyone experiences the same thing. I am still so grateful to Cory for helping me through that stressful situation. It seems that when you do have a problem that you really need help with, someone will try to help you to the best of their experience (big breeder or not). I also think that a lot of big breeders are busy and expect (or prefer) people to do basic reseach to answer basic questions-unless (of course) they are their customers.
