>So if you want to be concerned about egos, good on you, you are not for me. Cheers <



Clearly I have ticked you off. That is unfortunate.



The name is BOB Frank. BOB. I take the time and make the effort to be respectful to you. The least you could do is try to get my name right. I know I'm not a snake but in the broad scheme of things I count too.



I would not have put the pic of my setup out there if I was not willing to recieve some critique. I thought and felt good about thinking I had incorporated some of your suggestions in a practical way.



You say you want folks to take proper care of their animals and it's a simple thing and there are a million ways to do it but not once have I ever seen you do anything but second guess anyones actions. If you ever said "that's it! Good on you!" I may have missed it.



You could alleviate all this looking down on other folks by just showing pics of how you presently keep the few Kings you keep these days so other folks could see how you think it should really be done. You may in fact not want to post pics because of not wanting folks to use your method as a "recipe" and not think for themselves and their animals. How sad that thousands of snakes would then be kept properly if you did.



I have to take what you say at face value Frank because only you know whats in your mind and I have to respect that.



I do realize though if you were to post your sweater box/cage perfect system that if everyone here had an oppurtunity to critique it here like you critique, you would have a lot further to fall than the rest of us.



Snakes are great Frank but people count too.I hope that fact doesn't escape your insightful mind.



I wouldn't ask you questions if I didn't think you knew what you are doing.



Later.

Sometimes I think the kid with two pet snakes has something that those of us with 50 to 200 lost a long time ago.
