First off, I am one of those that helps anyone I can, every chance I get. For this reason, it immediately popped into my head how I answered this SAME EXACT question 2 or 3 times this week alone!



Know what? I am helping you learn... know how? by having you search and find the info you're looking for, and much more, and learning things you weren't even looking for or thinking about in the process.

I have never tried to search here... search functions are generally futile.

What I mean, what I should've said, What I do... is simply scroll down this page and then move on to the next, and continue.. browse through the titles for something you are looking for.

I GUARANTEE you will learn much more than you are looking for.



If you type one question at a time, and wait until someone is ready to help you, how much will you learn? how long will it take you?

You are willingly putting yourself at the mercy of others.. you are relinquishing your control and handing that over to someone else... whenever they feed good and ready to respond, they will, and if they don't know you, they may not... then you may see people posting to their own posts with comments like, "Noone? Ok THANKS"



Sooooo

besides searching through the search function

besides searching by scrolling through the sections

besides searching on other sites

besides searching on search engines like Google

besides going to the breeder page and reading care sheets on their sites



there are still many, many, MANY ways to find the answer to what you're looking for...



In this case, my answer to the last question about "what's the difference of bcc and bci" is probably on page 2, and there's probably another on page 3..





So, again, no offense meant, no offense taken.



I responded in a way that would have the "more experienced/maybe less 'newbie-patient breeders" out there satisfied that I told you to do it yourself, without actually saying something really rude, or offensive, or not answering at all. In this way, those other guys won't feel the need to jump in and roast you... which I agree is totally unnecessary, but you wouldn't believe how many times that happens! and I know that can be deterring and frustrating to say the least..



Most people wouldn't bother answering at all...



Sorry if that offended you... I have this thing where I really don't take things personal.. and sometimes don't realize that my words may be offensive to others.



Anyway, back to work...



my last answer was...



Go to this site www.RioBravoReptiles.com and look at the care sheets, history, breedings, and anything else you can...



You will acquire a great wealth of info with this site alone. and there are thousands of more sites out there that can also help.



Take care, Joe
