You are absolutely right about the manner in which some threads are replied to. I myself have read more into a post and responded either harshly or sarcastically when it may not have been warranted. And I have not been to proud to apologize if necessary. But as Quig stated it is something that happens repeatedly. A newbie or overzealous hobbyist posting pics of what they think is a new morph. And worse as also previously stated dubious people represent normals as a new morph which someone buys just to be disappointed in the end. That gives us all a bad name.



As for the Coachwhips. I loved them as a kid. And your right most have to be chased down and grabbed on the fly. And for every one I caught many more disappeared into the palmettos. But I have never had one stand its ground, though I have seen them stand up above tall grass to take a look around. But this just goes to show that all reptiles have their merits and everyone has their own personal preferences. Happy herping.
