Poor planning and procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...
I dont remember anyone saying that you cant do any of that. They were just saying they dont like it that way. There is no wrong way as long as it works for you and the animals are healthy. Alot of people do it many ways and have good success. That way is not better than the way I or anyone on here maintain their collections. Its just another way and not wrong or right.

I don't care how far apart they are (within reason) as long as the localities are stated, buyers can make up their own minds.
NON-LOCAL or GENERIC: Lineage is not traceable to WC
Generics need love too.
forgot to mention, you can't keep hatchlings together safely- for the noobs

Who doesn't know about this? No one said anything lke that. Its just one thing they do that you let them in a cage. Whats the problem with not keeping them together? Why is that the best way to do it? I dont understand how the bonders think thats the best and only way it can be done. Seems to me its just the way that works for them. The feeding all they can eat thing is just stupid though. What wild snake finds a pile of dead rodents every other day for him/her to pick how many they want to eat. All that does is make them pump out eggs all the time. Is that a natural thing for them to do? I think FR called those snakes "Queen Bees" and said thats the problem with the hobby. So, I dont know who you are talking about not understanding about bondage?

they bond in the wild too. Those that actually venture outside and spend time in the field have found getula living together in close/tight quarters - even when it's not breeding season (May through October). They even cohabitate with calligaster, and they don't eat them either! WOW!!!!
This is cutting edge stuff, and according to some in here it can't be done.

I actually venture outside and observe them in the wild. Some species do hibernate together and thats fine. Who is saying that it cant be done? Who?

I am saying that it CAN be done, I do it, and it is happens in the wild. It's completely NATURAL for Kings to COHABITATE = even getula!

I agree that they can be kept together as you and Rainer describe. I asked you who said it cant be done?

"This is cutting edge stuff, and according to some in here it can't be done"
People said it was lazy and not natural but no one said you cant do it. If you dont care dont start stuff for no reason. Whats cutting edge? Farming?

You've got some MAJOR COMPREHENSION problems, I said I don't care WHO said it, not I don't care. Understand the difference? Or should I type S L O W E R for you? lmao
Now, it appears that I was sharing MY opinion, and YOU wanted to start something.

Type as fast as you like. Im not trying to argue with you. You said something. I asked you to explain. You couldnt. So now you dont care and thats not what you ment. I think I understand just fine. Have a nice day bud. I see there is no answer.
