Tough Love ...or ....

....read and read again...we started 20 plus years ago...with no books on balls, hardly any books at all, and no internet, and no shows.....

we cannot tell who is new and who is old school...there are no dates on our names...

names are madeup hidden crap...so we don't even know who 80% of the people in here actually are ....

we will answer questions even for newbies....and treat them well...not all,,, but most....

......anyways.........

good luck, have fun and learn all you can.....

......I'll actually be nice...even though I was vending at a show all day today, where people are cheap ,and cheap ,and cheap and broke...???....(see,nice, I didn't mention stupid)LOL...

I have the nerd book and the morph book. Already had a buddy overcome his over 2 decade long fear of snakes with my bumblebee. He even bought an albino but returned it cause he didn't understand it was not eating since it was stressed from the move and going from tub to tank. I know I'll never know everything but I am having fun learning all the new things.

I made a mistake when I got my 7 normal adult girls. it was almost a rescue after I saw the conditions they were kept in. one of them came with scale rot and I picked it up later than I should have. I'm treating it now but was curious to why she wasn't eating since all the other girls had started eating. haven't tried feeding her since I picked it up. it's looking like its starting to get better and I'll try to feed her tonight. wish me luck her last meal i know of was march 5th(picked up march 8th) and she's an asf feeder. hoping she might switch back to rats after this.

That is very good advice. "But Smart, Not A lot." That is a quote a lot of novice keepers should learn to live by.

I will admit I am surprised at what I have read lately. Seems that people have gotten a lot nicer here over the years. Kudos to that.
