Thank you for taking your time to share your experiences and ideas on breeding. I understand your statements about others thinking that people who are openly thankful to breeders like yourself being butt kissers, but those who know me KNOW that I am not. It is also very true that this forum tends to form cliques, but in the end it is the TRUTH that matters and not much else, so if others get some entertainment value from talking about you (or me) then I say "more power to them". Like any business though, it is understandable that one FIRST take care of their customers and SECOND anyone else. I have not (YET) purchased any boas from you, and as such am not one of your customers, but the information that you have shared here is invaluable to me as a hobbyist and is greatly appreciated.

Experience is indeed the best teacher of all for it provides lessons that directly affect our own lives and animals, but it is also with the help of others that the hobby collectively improves itself. Kathy and I keep a moderate sized collection of boas and have dealt with mites, sickness, and even death and it is from that experience we have learned the most, BUT it is also from tips from breeders like you, Jeff Ronne, and Joel DuBay that we have learned much as well. This is only our second season of trying our hand at breeding,we were not successful last year. If we happen to enjoy success this year, I look forward to posting pics of new boa babies and you can bet I'll be thanking you again.
