I have no idea why you(you guys) take everything as an attack.



As I mentioned, I am new to hogs, on a current level. End of story.



As I attempt to catch up to what is going on currently, I have not found the information that interests ME. As I mentioned. We can be different, without everything said, being some manner of attack.



I do not intend to do what your doing, nor am I here to judge what your doing. Whatever your doing is great for you.



The information that interests me is information based on Hogs, and not necessarily interested in what hogs do in smaller cages. I am interested in what they choose to do when they have choices, not what we as keepers choose to give them. And its not about whats right or wrong. its simply what I am interested in.



If you have that type of information, then offer it or not, its your choice.



If you don't have that type information, then don't respond.



If what I am looking for is different then normal for here, so what, its not an attack on others.



Or if I ask questions not in line with what you do. Its not about you. Your welcome to do what you want.



The understanding and keeping methods of colubrids cannot be compared to that of varanids. In the varanid world, there is a giant gape of understanding and related results. There are only a handful of keepers in the world have taken any species to generations. Muchless line breeding and morphs, like done here or with most other colubrids.



Of the tens of thousands of varanids imported each and every year, 99% are dead by the next year.



So the gape of husbandry information and expectatioons is great. So the chances of heated discussions are much greater. With varanids, its life or death, not how to produce many generations or line breed.



With colubrids, that is not the same. Newbies expect to have their captives live and reproduce. Those expectations are easily accomplished by following basic criteria.(recipe)



Colubrids have been bred successfully for decades.



Gregg if you want to talk about additude, look no farther then yourself. You judge everything said, sentence by sentence, how about trying to find out someones intend.



You wonder why no one posts here, its simple, you guys made it that way. And its been dead for a long time, I had nothing to do with it.



I am not into herps or hogs for the same reasons as you, nor do I want to do what your doing.



Also, I have said nothing against you or Troy, I stated what I am interested in, PERIOD. I stated that so I can recieve replys that work for me. I want replys that help me with what I want to do. Gregg, its not about you. And Troy its not about you either.



What the heck are you guys afraid of? That I will change things, naw, I am not interested in that. I just want to learn from these snakes and have fun. Have you lost that ability? If you have I am sorry for you.



So heres a REAL question, are fall copulations important? Cheers
