Question, if you have been keeping snakes in melamine racks for 15 years why the basic husbandry questions you asked a month ago of me? Those questions were real basic questions and made you appear as a newbie. Yet all of a sudden you are an expert calling my husbandry poor yet you don't know me. Are you just trolling me like you did earlier just to see my responses?

See the reason being is: I wanted to find out your husbandry and the way you kept stuff and I still do, that's why the questions.( I am trying to make rational sense, and by asking newbie questions I can get my mind to understand your thought process. Considering everything is cookie cutter in all the books) I have been keeping snakes off and on for 18 or 19 years I have the original rack I built from when I was 17. Its a heavy SOB made out of melamine. It has held up many of moves and conditions.

I never said your husbandry was bad, I said that
Second, I don't know about you but if my snakes tip over their water bowl the tub is cleaned and new bedding is put back in the same day when I do my spot check. So let me question your husbandry, how long are your snakes sitting in a flooded tub?

Thirdly, If you have constant condensation building up on your tubs either your tubs don't have enough air flow. Which will cause it or you have bottom heat and your water bowl is over it. Both of which cause mold to grow in your tubs and racks and can't be good for your collection.


I simply was asking a question about your husbandry, take it how you want. I feel if there is condensation build up on the tubs that is not good for Lampropeltis, that's all.





Also, I didn't make it sound as if your personal experince is wrong. What i typed in capped was this:

"OF COURSE IF YOU KEEP THEM IN CLIMATE CONTROL ..they won't swell"

So why are you tristing things ..perhaps to try and put me on the defensive?

I also said "My Bad",I took it out of context, with no emotion or sound sometimes words come off not as they are meant. Kinda like my question about your husbandry.

See i agreed with you. But your response was rather obvious as with anything that you keep can be made to last longer. most peoople don't build a climmte controlled "CIGAR ROOM" to house their cigars. That is why melamine with normal usage does swell.

heck I have only been doing this since the beginning when melamine was started being used. So now you assume.it is my husbandry because my experince does not macth yours?


You know what you get when you assume. I was simply asking, how long they were in a flooded tub. That's is all. Rainer, you keep more than 1 animal in a tub so I am figuring or assuming you have a large to extra large water bowl. See what I get when I assume. Makes an A$$ out of me. My bad. Sorry for the confusion, but whether it is snakes or cabinets I have been working with melamine since 1984, I have worked in the cabinet trade all the way up to 2007. Melamine in most uses will stand up for 20-25plus years if taken care of.


Truce??? Back to the real topic, anything good cooking in the incubator with you? Any special projects that your working on?
