Yes a good read, I am aware that these battles do not or may not help the actual poster, as their minds are already made up.

But there are other readers who are actually interested in more options of keeping snakes and more about the snakes themselves.

The the case below, its a simple problem that the reader can ask themselves. If a wild snake can digest and process large meals, why cannot their captives?

Its a simple ability thats lost with their manner of keeping, which then brings up another question, what other abilities are lost for the same reasons?

Then of course the main question, what reason causes that ability to be lost? That is the key.

The great part about kingsnakes is, even those keepers who are hindering the progress of their captives are by and large doing well. With varanids, its rare to see any success by those type of keepers, varanids weed out the recipe keepers. Varanids require the keepers to use their brains and apply themselves.

So if those recipe keepers never see the light, they are still not total failures. Thanks for the link
