Ok so this past weekend I go to a local herp society meeting. At this meeting there are a few people discussing things. One had just adopted a new male ball python that was supposedly 15 years old. He said he was going to bring it home and put it with his other balls. My wife piped up that keeping males together wasn't a good idea as they can fight and keeping them together at all was kinda dumb for stress reasons. He insisted that they enjoyed wrestling and were all happy. I listened to this guy and another guy talk I heard even funnier stories. One that says he is now out of reptiles introduced 1.0 "big" burm into the enclosure of 1.1 "big" burms. Of course the two males instantly started to battle over the territory. The guy had to seperate these two males. He threw one into the bathroom. Returned to the other room where he proceeded to wrestle with the other male burm. He thought the male burm was joking around with him and having fun. The other guy then starts to tell a story about keeping burms in groups. And how he keeps a rock, a yellow anaconda, and an eyeless burm together. Hmm last time I knew those 3 required slightly different envioronments. I sat there absolutely disgusted at the whole situation but these guys both knew everything there was to know. One of them brought 2 little children with them to a show that was to be put on. The two little kids ran around the whole time screaming so I couldn't hear what the show director was saying. I walked away very unimpressed. Some people out there just don't have a clue. Very sad but very true.
