Well with hundreds of snakes and breeding for 40 years i did see my share of mistakes. But we did not have the information Hwy that we have today. Most of the stuff we did was by learing from the snakes and not some recipe book. You kind of learn from the snakes and get a green thumb.
I would have been more impressed had you just stopped here with your reply.
But I don't fret with egg bound females. I didn't them run to a vet. I don't lose sleep at night.I don't go posting all over the internet. LOL! I just kept feeding them and waiting (sometimes FOR YEARS). Matter of fact those females are breeding and producing eggs again. All I did was wait and had patience.
But no you have to inflate your ego some more by pointing out how superior you are to the rest of us. I highly doubt you would have the humility it would take to admit losing a snake and post about it. Possibly suggesting where you may have made your mistakes and humbly asking others their opinions/thoughts on what you may have done wrong. You're always to busy stroking your own ego.
..And that is another thing i see prevelant in the hobby today. I just wait it out. You have to have patience when keeping snakes. For example, if a neonate is a finicky eater during winte. Just offer a cool side and then it comes out eating like a champ in the spring. By mid summer those tiny finicky feeders sometimes end up surpassing in growth those that have been feeding all winter.
But what i don't do is keep trying to feed them. Or Force feed them. Or forcing them to stay warm all winter and trying over and over. i just know that they will eat and grow like they are on steroids come spring.
Once you learn these things and know the outcome. Then, well we would not have much to talk about here, would we?
Case in point about stroking your own ego. What does this have to do with this particular thread on compatibility? Just another of your ego stroking, long winded, diatribes on how great thou art.
Reading your posts I always get the impression we should all just pack up our snakes and ship them to you because none of us are in possession of your superior knowledge and skills. Then you can keep them safe from us up there in your ivory tower.
The sad fact of the matter is you do have a great knowledge base and a lot you could share. But you always have to lambaste anyone who has a problem, a question or seeking guidance.
Why is it you feel the need to try to make everyone else seem so inferior to you instead of sharing your knowledge in a constructive way?
BTW I've also been keeping reptiles for over 40 years. I will openly admit I don't know everything there is to know. I've lost a few animals along the way and identify my mistakes and learn from them. I'm still learning today which is part of the reason I come to these forums.
I doubt you have the humility to admit that you don't know it all which will probably be exemplified in your response to this post.

There is a difference between ignorance and stupidity. The ignorant can be taught, stupidity is beyond our control.
