No need for name calling, dear. I asked you to illustrate your technique with a photo. If your answer was “No,” then that’s enough and that’s okay.
I rarely post here. But, in the past, I’ve noticed that anyone who questioned something you advocate was usually met immediately with a “Who do you think you are?” type of response filled with silly name calling. It had seemed to me recently that you might be trying to work on this by using a calm and reasoned approach to state your case. But I guess that’s sometimes difficult.
“Brian,” perhaps the time will come when you don’t have to post anonymously under a made-up name. I’m sure it is not lost on anyone here that I post under my real name.
To keep this discussion on track, my largest reticulated python exceeded 100 pounds; my largest Burmese python exceeded 200 pounds (both were exhibited at a regional herpetological society’s educational shows, and were seen and touched by thousands of people). But even after raising them up for 20 years, I wouldn’t have been caught dead feeding them outside of their cages. Uh, I mean, I just might have been found dead had I done so! It wasn’t an “experience” thing; it was a “best husbandry practices” thing.
On reflection, in my initial post I think I could have chosen a better term than “lousy husbandry” to describe feeding giant snakes outside of their cages. How about “ an ill-advised husbandry practice”?
