Those pesky tails; and slurping is so impolite!

That's a great looking sav!

A fitting choice.

A fitting choice.

I guess it's a cool if you are into stupid ancient cult religions. Personally I'd prefer something a little more contemporary and perhaps ties in with our modern pop culture. In other words, something that the average person can pronounce!

Ha! I have a rainbow boa named Tiamat. And the Mesopotamians were no more cultish than you or me. (Well, I don't know you...). I guess you'd prefer 'Oprah'?
Ok, I'm sorry... I have a ground boa named Oprah...

Scroll down a little bit in the forum when the man was asking the snake question. Read the reply that says.."snakes are simply retarded." Now tell me why you own a snake. And why you gave it a womans name?

I think you were born without several important brain lobes, is what I think. Like the ones that allow you to create coherent and logical thoughts.
At any rate, here's one of my favorites. I'd say I like the way her skin feels but I've never touched her.

as your post was strangely gender related, I hope your insults aren't based on your assumptions of which gender I am. You may just be wrong.

If you read my entire post you would have caught where I said that poisonous snakes are the one exception. The snake on that picture looks like the highly venomous western diamondback rattlesnake. Looks like you are yet, wrong again. Nice try though
And I could care less what your gender is. If you are a girl I doubt you are an attractive one.

I have to admit I didn't bother to read the whole thing. I usually stop reading things that don't make sense halfway through because it's a waste of time. And strangely enough, she's not poisonous. She's venomous.

Now in light of this knowledge, please be advised that I will no longer reply to your uneducated messages and responses. I sincerely hope that you were joking because you have just made a fool of yourself with your previous dumb comment. I'm not sure how you expect to have any shred of credibility left in this forum. Your best bet at this point, would be to not reply back to this. I have no idea how someone who keeps reptiles could be so ignorant. I'm embarrased for you.

Ok, giving you that you are right and poisonous and venomous are both completely different terms, did I not say that your snake looks like the "highly venomous diamondback rattlesnake?" Do you just like to argue for the sake of arguing or is it that you simply don't think before you type?

I admire your ability to verbally fence, but without a weapon, fencing is useless as well.

In the context of this forum, your whole involvement is meaningless and out of place. Monitors are the subject. Monitor knowledge is your saber. Just what do you know about monitors, other then whether you like the names or not. f

Alright.. enough is enough. One..Savannahman or whatever.... you can't possibly know anything about her/him.. especially whether or not he/she is attractive. You sound like a blowhard to me.. someone argueing just for the sake of the arguement. Personal insults are not needed.. and indeed Poisonous is much different than venemous. Poisonous refers to any toxin you ingest or absorb through touch usually.. venemous is used in conjunction with animals that produce and inject venom into other animals or people. There is a difference, especially in the type of compounds and chemical makeup of poisons and venoms. Just because a dictionary says they mean approximately the same thing does NOT mean they ARE the same thing.
