My sentiments exactly. One of the reasons that I will very rarely post anything here. I refuse to get into any disagreements with anyone here. This is a part of my life that will never go away. Something that I enjoy that few will ever understand.

I am 48 years young and have had snakes since I was 6 years old. I continue to learn every year which is a reason why this will ALWAYS be in my blood. Why waste the time arguing?

We must all understand that there are different points of view. We must all understand that there will always be those that feel that their opinion is the correct opinion. For instance, someone posted a YouTube video of what they considered to be an indigo. Although somewhat difficult to tell, I felt pretty confident that the snake this person was calling an Indigo was a black racer. I noted that someone did point out THEIR OPINION that the snake was a black racer. The person that posted disagreed and said that they knew the difference between the two. At that point, why bother to contradict? It just leads to conflicts and turns in a back and forth battle of wills that will just continue on and on..........JUST LET IT GO! Suck it up and realize that the other persons opinion is just that, AN OPINION!

At one time not to long ago, there were some great people on this forum that loved/still love kingsnakes. Some of those people were Keith Hillson and Peter Jolles. They did, and could still bring so much to this forum but were censored and (I believe) barred from posting here. Quite a shame because both of these guys are top notch and know kingsnakes. I for one am sorry that neither one of them posts here anymore. They really contributed a lot. Those were the days.................
