Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Has anyone noticed the big time breeders never post on this forum anymore? What happend to J. Stone, Pete Kahl, Frank Martin and Tom Burke? It seems like they would want to promote the hobby and get the word out that everyone needs to get together and fight the python bill... I never see any of the on here helping others or educating others on husbandry, breeding, or succesful keeping of these constrictors. The only time you see these big names post is around July-August when their showing off their litters...

Man do you really think a public callout would get support for your cries?

Can you honestly state as fact that they aren't promoting the hobby and getting the word out by some other means than this forum. Those big names have so much to do. Giant collections to manage plus families plus plus. Some have their own websites that are always being updated and have a world of information to the hobbiest with questions. If they would only look before asking they might find their own answers.I have seen people post questions on this forum that have gone unanswered. The questions are usually some of the most basic repeated questions asked of this hobby. I'm not saying those posters should be ignored but don't flame on the big guys or expect them to be required to baby sit us. We have eyeballs to read and brains to comprehend information with a little self motivation and detective work on the web most of the basic answers we have can be figured out.If you feel someone was ignored why don't you answer their questions instead of placing the burdon on others.
