Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I do not jump much from forum to forum (every now and then in the ATB) but I went to the ball python forum to get a little probe advice. I probed my friends 2 ft ball python and i switched probes to a ball point because i figured it was safer and i could get a better feel. either way, it was coming up as one of the "iffy" around 5 scale ones. Anyway I looked at the posts which move half a page a day. to the point...there was a thread about a ballxburmese. They were talking about dwarf females breeding with male ball pythons. One kid said a guy was trying to sell him one. Where do we draw the line dfr, my guess is way before the ballxburmese.

Well my ball is so big and fat that it could be one of those crosses, ask dfr she is huge.lol. I dont worry much about probing my snakes because I dont plan to breed. Go to the Blood forum, they chat about a ballxblood. I have crossed a anacondaXgtp.

Did you check out my arborial anaconda post below...my green is nuts with her climbing...its like she wants to live with the ATBs in the cage on top of hers. I probed that snake because if its female, its worth something to someone else and I might buy if from him since he is losing interest. But it is sexless for now...need to try again later...any tips on spur sexing ball pythons kelly?

` Nah, drawing lines is for the young. When you have lots of time to burn, tilting at windmills can be a fun way to squander it.
` They're gonna do what they're gonna do, that's a given.
` I saw a post on another forum, recently. Someone suspected, and had confirmed by experts, that their Short Tailed Python was not a pure breed. The question was, " Is there any market for such crosses, or is this snake a total loss?" Whew !
` I spent a while composing responses to that. Some of them were incredibly witty, and biting. Oh boy, I woulda told them about what makes a pet snake a "total loss", and the opposite, and market be damned! I certainly got more fun out of composing those responses, then deleting them, than I would have had I posted them.
` Enjoy your snake. Maybe, if you're lucky, even get to use it to teach non-herpetoculturists to appreciate these misunderstood critters.
` You can have more fun ignoring the crass, and indulging yourself with yourself, than you can have trying to speak to such basic instincts.
` If you show 'em a better way, and you happen to be right, they'll hate you for it. That's a given, too.

` Also, I wonder when MR_A is going to get a wide-angle lens so we can see more pix of that corpulent Ball. Perhaps an aerial photograph?

` Here is a svelte Ball Python. Eat your heart out.

I admit this is terrible weather for the time...but i got a green last year about exactly this time. But im just giving you a hard time. Where do you live...an hour from me? how do you know where I live, thats creepy. Maybe we can hook up some time and drink some tequila since you and Arik always leave me out.

I like whisky, You talk about the Lee Watson show and Mark Petros, not to hard to pin you down around the Chicago area. No Im not stalking you so stop getting all exited. I live right by South Bend Indiana next door to Notre Dame collage. And Arik and I only leave you out because your snake is to small,lmao. kidding. Arik and I also have the same type of jobs.

You're kidding right? My conda poops bigger than 3-4 ft.lol j/k

` If it aggravates you, and you take the time to look em up, then your mind ain't that small.

` What's the point of taking the time to post, if folks are going to skim your message, then forget it.
`
` I like obscure words. It's not about being smart, or not. They tend to make people who take the time to read and write retain more of what is written. They also make me think more about what I'm writing.

` Besides all that, Google makes it so easy to look up a word, it's nothing compared to the way we used to do it.

They say the best judge of a persons intelligence is their vocabulary. Just thought I'd thow that in. I think MR A was just making a joke dfr.

I keep BPs too, just "normal ones." I do not ever plan on spending big bucks to buy a morph BP. I like the kind that evolved naturally just fine.
