I really like this: "Yes, if your husbandry is good, then yes, you should EXPECT things to work out. However, if you do have a lot of experience, you will realize that is not always the case. There is always factors that nature, NOT YOU THE KEEPER, will have control over."

DISCERN, the best thing to save your sanity is to quit while you're ahead around here.

Whenever I read this forum I'm reminded of Dr. Ian Malcolm of Jurassic Park fame...you guys all need to pick up a copy and read it over a beer (probably would take a lot more than that)...hold onto your butts because I don't want any of you to have a god damn conniption...

Chaos Theory. Nothing will ever be predictable or controllable. You can approximate something, but it will never be perfect. Nor will your result be perfect every time. Nature evolves from deviations. And...life will find a way.

I'm out. My colubrids and pythons both are fat and happy (except the weirdo hognose, but she looks HUNGRY!). Have a good weekend!

You ever talk to me like that again...and I'll turn your balls into earrings. Understand?

Go for it.
