I think the goal for all wild animals is to be as successful as they can under the circumstances.

You will not find a snake that puts itself on a diet. If there is prey, it consumes as much as it can and grows or produces as much as it can.

I have a photo series of a black coachwhip that came to feed, it fed 16 days in a row, on its own accord, 4 to 6 mice a day, bred, laid, then fed 17 days in a row, and did it again. This is a wild free ranging snake.
We had rattlesnakes do the same, one smaller idividual fed day after day, about 5 times a week all summer. All it did was grow up.

ALso, I think its your side, the ones that criticize BR and I, that say, what we do is wrong. We never said what you do is wrong, its just average.

On the otherhand, some come and complain about egg binding, and other common sicknesses, well that is wrong.

We offer ways to prevent that, and we get told we are wrong.

I think the real problem is, your side does not want a measuring stick, so they attack methods. I would gladly put up our results to anyones, and if they recieve better, I would really respect that and fully understand how much WORK they put in.

But most here WANT to be best or good but only want to shorten the ruler, so they look good. And thats not you. Just some here.

I found that in the monitor forums as well, they simply would not DEFINE SUCCESS.
