Again Amen!I'm an old school irascible herper to the core! Some of these threads lately are just driving me nuts! I have a job, kids, wife..the whole nine yards and somewhere in between all that I've been breeding herps for more decades than I care to admit LOL. Micromanaging every minute instance of a reptile's life is not healthy, for the keeper or the subject animal.



I guess to me its real simple, like any endeavor it needs to be kept in its proper perspective. Journaling every waking moment of a snake's day is frankly beyond my realm of comprehension. If I had but one to fixate on maybe I'd succomb to the temptation. In the meantime I'll wallow in the reptilian chaos that is my snake room. Mangrove Snakes, Bar Neck Scrubs, Gonyosoma, White Lippeds and a whole host of other misc. colubrids..no wonder I don't handle my snakes! LOL They eat when I feed them, breed when I cycle them, and bite/defecate when I hold them..yup, they're snakes alright.
