Things I could do without:
1. “Snout to vent length” The other day I was driving and saw a mockingbird dive bombing a green iguana, chasing it across the street. The iguana was about 30” long. (Florida is SO cool for herps!) So who cares about the S to V of the iguana?!?!
2. Scientific names. I’m tired of having to “Google” somebody’s post to figure out if it is something I am interested in reading about or not. If you are using the scientific names, it is usually NOT something I am interested in reading about, what’s up with that?
3. The metric system! “My snake is 400 grams, is it big enough to regurge a rat?” “average 100 centimeters as adult” What does that mean? Is it bigger than a corn snake or what!?!?
4. Over hyped sales names. I am sure we will all live to see the following classified ad. “Super wide flame ball green-back 9/16 X 32/64 scaleless hypoglow X highway reflector 75% candy metalflake with slight piebald... makes great project.”
5. More from the classified “Super color, e-mail for a picture if interested...”
6. Wildlife official will drive past construction site burying gopher tortoise and indigos to make sure you aren’t illegally keeping any of those things ALIVE.
7. The always present followup to nice picture post “Be sure to save me one of those...” If this guy is not full of bull he now owns over a thousand snakes.
8. Somebody who would post something like this and can’t even think of ten things...
Have a great weekend you snake loving maniacs!!!
