Sorry Troy, Its you that set the rules for whats IN(in your mind) and what is out. The funny part is, its not your territory.



I do love hogs, always have, like I said, bred them 35-40 years ago.



Also, I stated, my intentions DIFFER from most here, and that you guys are doing great with morphs, really great.



What is causing the problem is, I do have the experience to add to your knowledge. Not so much hognose knowledge, but basic husbandry. That is what chaps your groupy hides. Or so it appears.



What is common and basic to me appears to be lost or unknown with the current "recipe" taught keepers. Or at least many of you. If you already are aware, then why would it bother you?



Such things as what type of nesting PREVENTS egg binding and problems with smaller females, Or how to tell when a female is going to be receptive, without timing. Or even "popping hemipenes"(to evert) Those are skills to master with husbandry.



Even the most basic of husbandry skills like gender is a bit lost here and hogs are about the easist colubrid.



And a few others, I have to ask, when I see these things, should I keep quite and watch herps suffer????? I have to say, you appear to want herps, in this case, hogs to suffer.



Sir you make statements about me not learning, as i aged, when you have no idea about me or my youth. I was raised in the ghetto and boxed and wrestled my whole youth, that and herping. Which is meaningless, other then, I do have a fighters approach and when I was young, I did not hold it back. Now, I am just not afraid of you or any of you. I do respect your hog accomplishments, but I do not fear you.



Both those sports are individual, which means, it took responsibility for my actions. Keeping herps is the same.



With that in mind, I have no idea why you or others here, think anything I say is important. You do not have to do a thing. No one is going to force you to do anything I say, in fact, no one is going to force you to even read my posts. Those are your choices.



I never called you names, or said what your doing is bad. THe problem seems to stem from when I say something different and you seem to be afraid it makes you look bad. That must be true, because why else would you care??????



Back to territoty, This is not your forum, You cannot say, who reads or posts here. If you want that, then start your own forum, its easy, everyone can do it. Then indeed you can control that too. Until then, please do not read my posts. And please, right, wrong or anywhere in between, I have the right to say or write what I want, within the TOS of kingsnake. YOu are not my moderator, so stop with the personal attacks.



If I say something that makes you feel stupid, then maybe its time you stop and THINK about that. Cheers



p.s., if you keep trolling(that is what your doing) i will report you to KS. If you disagree with what I say, that is material for conversation, but to attack me, thats not your job. Anything about me or my personality, or how i write is PERSONAL, and not subject to your approval. Again, if you do not like any of that, do not read it.
