The common demoninator that I always continually see here is that you and your buddies are just overly-obsessed with the thought of notoriety as some sort of leading expert "cutting-edge" herpetoculturalists and authorities of the kingsnakes entire natural history, when in fact this just isn't the case. All it really boils down to at the end of the day is that you guys choose to do it differently than most, and that ids fine if you choose to. I could do it that way too if I wanted to. The fact that you guys are always telling everyone else that they are not experienced enough to join your untouchable ranks or are unable to do it this way because everyone else other than your herp buddies are too stupid regarding how snakes go about their daily live is pure poppycock!

I have seen so many direct questions in this thread being AVOIDED like the plague at all costs, and whenever a simple straight answer cannot be given, they dream up some other topic or story to help fill in all the holes to evade the real questions. Or better yet portray to everyone that you and your buddies hold the answer to the universe in your golden shrines, but won't devulge the meaning of all getula life in the universe to the "little" people of the hobby. Dodging simple and direct questions doesn't reinforce your cause so well.

Alot of this reminds me of ancient sailors that would perceive the world as being flat simply because they "witnessed" the the vast oceans to "seemingly" go on and on until you would logically fall off the end. Those guys made up stuff as they went along too so others would also believe this stuff as fact. Truth is that they "thought" they knew exactly what the deal was because that's what it looked like to them at the time.
