First, let me start out by commending you for your rehabilitation volunteering. Unfortunately, that's the only positive thing I have to say about your last post.

Secondly, my statement "No offense, but if you had to use your water bowl frequently for soaking/defecating..." was just that, a statement, not quoting you. Notice, if you can, that I did not say that's what you said.

You're debating skills leave little to be desired. You have miserably failed to accurately quote me on anything. Or maybe you weren't trying to be accurate, but rather intentionally mislead, which in my book, is a flat out lie. I, take offense to that.

You know, I can put up with a lot of things but being called a liar is not one of them. In fact, it down right pisses me off. You're posts are representative of a typical inexperienced (fill in the blank) that can't win an argument or debate with a shred of knowledge, wisdom, experience, etc... People that have to stray out of context of the issue at hand, create diversions in order to get the spotlight off of them, insinuate that the other is a liar, and on, and on.....

If your schoolwork is anything like your debating skills & posts, you'll be lucky to graduate college with your grandkids. Ha! Ha! But hang in there, granny.


> > > You said that you don't disinfect your water bowls or your cage very often,

Lie #1
What I said was "I don't disinfect water bowls everytime I change the water... ...I don't disinfect the whole cage at every cleaning."
Get your facts straight.


> > > and with this last post you included that you don't remove all bedding once it has been soiled and peed on.

Lie #2
How about you telling me what I use for substrate? Well, I don't use a couple of inches of newspaper. Nor aspen, nor leaf litter. I use aproximately 4 - 5 layers of newspaper, to which most of the regular participating members here can attest that I have stated before.

Let me set the record straight because I'm not gonna stand for you telling any more lies about what I said or didn't say. Yeah, the passion has kicked into overdrive. Beep! Beep!

You said, > > > "...but I strongly believe that cages should be disinfected every time a snake defecates or passes urates,"

I replied, "So everyone with aspen bedding, soil, leaf litter, etc…, should dump it all out & disinfect the whole cage every time their snake defecates or passes urates?"

Please show me just how the heck you managed to come up with the ludicrous comment you attributed to me. You would make a good fisherman telling tales like that. That's pitiful. Have you no more self-respect than to go on such a large forum and discredit yourself so?

And while I was not amused with the fact that you insinuated I lied about the ball python's cage condition, I truly don't give a rat's fanny. Ha! Ha! Suffice it to say that I'm a good judge of character. And you have shown that you are quite a character. I mean, after all, what's in a name? "GrotesqueBurgess" Ha! Ha! Ha!


> > > According to my two digital humidity cages and 2 temperature gauges, I was able to maintain proper gradients in that cage too....

I hate to be the one to inform you but proper husbandry is reading the animal to assess whether or not the humidity & temperatures are proper, not reading digital readouts. Maybe one of these days you'll learn that care sheets are merely starting points. True hsubandry is the ability to read, interpret, the animal, it's actions & reactions, while making adjustments to its environment that brings forth ultimate conditions.

Believe it or not, there's more to husbandry than keeping watch over some animals for an hour or two a few days a week, and turning temperature control knobs left & right as instructed.

Time to sign off now. This is usually where I do a cordial stint or two. To show that I've still got a sense of humor in light of everything, see the attached image below.

Later!
