I have never claimed to be an expert, not have I been a hypocrit. I have not personally attacked, that is your job. But as someone else said, if someone picked up one of "my" snakes like that, I would pop them in the face. Holding a snake by the tail between the vent and the tip is not a good idea in my "opinion".
And from all my college classes in biology and zoology, I would not use the word prehensile. Sure you can, it fits loosely, but I don't agree that a snakes tail acts as a 5th hand.

I am going to go back to enjoying my snakes to myself. Too many want-to-be tough guys and no it alls here. Why do you two ruin it for all here? No other message board on kingsnake is so full of arrogance. I don't even consider asking for advice here because I will be called and idiot or stupid or something similar. Keep up your computer chair tough-guy image. I am sick of it all. Nobody posts pictures here like they used to because of all the jerks.
