WOW!

You assume a lot! I am NOT the only person he knows with snakes. Unfortunately HIS bad influences are people who proclaim to know it all and are loud and opinionated! I had sent him to this site and he came back to me not quite convinced, so I played the devil’s advocate and posted the question to illicit the answers and responses that I got.



Some times people come to their senses faster when someone neutral tells them (INSTEAD OF HITTING THEM WITH A HAMMER). If I had told him that he was a rich idiot, he probably would be (unknowingly) abusing his snakes in the near future. My purpose is to help create a responsible Herp lover. He now likes your site and has an interest in learning more before he invests in the snakes.



REMEMBER ALL OF US WERE BEGINNERS AT ONE TIME! It’s the little corn that you bye at PETCO that spurs the interest in learning more. Unless you have a knowledgeable collector or breeder near by to help, you can make mistakes threw ignorance (NOT stupid) assumptions. Not ALL of us were born with this knowledge. If everyone on this board knew everything about every snake then what would be the purpose. We learn form each others experiences. Taking offence for some ones misguided idea (and not their actions) is pretty silly.



Well, I have at least won the battle with the *&%$# that were telling him that I was to cautious. I also retained his interest and friendship.



As fare as my TEMPORARY set up with my IJ and my JCP, IT WAS TEMPORY!!! They were under a year old and, by the way, thrived together. They both are very healthily with no problems eating (RAT fuzzies) and they shed beautifully.



In conclusion: I am sorry for a fending some people with my initial question…but give me a break it’s not like I *&%$ the Queen! It was just a question… Now that he is reading posts on this site, I hope he doesn’t feel too embarrassed to post his own questions.



-Thanks again
