Yes, a general statement, not outlining specifics.



What i was getting at was that keeping a couple of corns (seemingly a prevalent 'first' snake in the US) won't teach a hell of a lot regarding keeping vens (yes - a large group).



Some move faster, some move slower. Some are arboreal, some are not. Some can climb a hook, some cannot. Some can grip a hook, some cannot. Some will bite something simply because it moves, some will become defensive and back away. Some have further strike ranges, some do not. Some eat rodent, some do not.



Notably, these differences exist between a vast number of genera, and many more 'general' differences not listed. Just wanting to point that out with regards to vens, seeing as the result of a tag is somewhat 'generally' more devastating than the tag of a python.



And another point - just because my opinion is different to yours doesn't mean that I don't know what i'm talking about. I never suggested that I was an experienced hot keeper. And I don't appreciate being belittled.
