Boa Constrictor Behaviour study

marinus Oct 20, 2004 07:06 AM

Hello,

I'm marinus Speelman and I'm traying to find information about behaVIOUR STUDY WITH Boa Constrictor. I'm traying to find a ethogram so, I'm looking for some kind of information about Boa Constrictor behaviour. I'm actually a big Boa Constrictor fan and I'm still learning more about the animal so all the information you want to give me is welcome. I hope you can help me with the problem that I can't find anything about Boa Constrictor behaviour because I have to find types of behaviour like what kind of feeding behaviour there is and all. I would also love to see some pictures of other Boa's that you keep at home. I'm also looking for information about herpetology and institutes that study Boa Constrictors. I don't know any institutes myself so I hope you know some institutes or some herpetologist that could help me with my behaviour study of my Boa and could help me about some information about study's after wild Boa Constrictors. I truelly hope any of you out there could help me because I really need the info for a project at school were I chose the subject Boa Constrictor.

So my actuall project is that I start make a behaviour study so that I observe my 3 pet Boa Constrictors for a week so I've got enough intel that I have a idee of what the behaviour of the Boa Constrictor is. Then I'm will put my pet Boa Constrictors in a new terrarium and observe what they do after they got used to the terrarium and those to study's I want to compair to the intel I hope to get from you. And there I need to form a conclusion from about there behaviour and if it changes if I put the in a new natural home. So I need any intel actually about Boa Constrictor BehaVIOUR AND THE OTHER TOPICS i PUT IN THIS MESSAGE.

Thanks a lot,

Marinus Speelman

I have wanted to write the same thing in repy to hundreds of posts from regulars on this forum who seem to be adults. The bad grammer and mispelled words are common here.

The one that drives me nuts is spelling "and"...an.

This post is obviously from a kid doing a school project and I suspect english might not be his first language.

Listen its a easy thing to insult or comment on peoples grammer , spelling and such things but when it boils down to it why should it make a hill of beans how something is spelled or written in run on sentences? the objective is to gain usefull knowledge to help someone.Hell i myself mispell ALOT of things ... does it mean i cant spell not in the least i spell VERY well( look above i didnt capitolize the I) and dont ever plan on it in a forums based enviroment no need to . I didnt take typing in school and personally the " correct typing posture of the hands on the keyboard just feels as unatural as hell to me .So i type by pecking keys with two fingers and i do it fast & also normally dont look at the screen while doing as my eyes are on the keyboard. Im not a secertary so i could careless how i type. I get the point across I dont capitolize words like I all the time or even names all the time or rarely.I often type run on sentences and such but none the less i dont criticize others for spelling mistakes or grammer mistakes ina forum based enviroment no need to. If you wantto get technical no on should be posting things like NP, IMHO,IMO so on & so on its not grammetically correct to do so . so when you make fun of someones post or reply in the topic with a subject and end it with a NP make sure you know that you yourself are no better then the ones you poke fun at .

The thing with the internet now days is that so many of us short cut and abbreviate words to make typing and IM'ing faster for us and yes maybe its a bad thing to do but i can promise you that its not carried over in my everyday tasks of writing . When people attack or make fun of a person who is new to the forums who ask something that they want to know or need to know the factor is this is the WORLD WIDE WEB thats what WWW stands for right ? so anyone posting could be from a foreign country and english is the hardest language to learn and im sure typing it is no better. Maybe some of the ones typing are americans or this is there "first language" but they choose to right/type as the do .

I dont see anyone jumping on Nick from Boas ark AKA snakemanick ( sorry nick i have seen mispelled words in your posts but it doesnt bother me because i know what you are talking about lol it seems that only people that are not liked or are new get this attack. Bill cagle your good buddy types in ALL CAPS IN EVERY POST BUT YOU DONT JUMP HIS CASE FOR BLINDING PEOPLE WITH ALL CAPS DO YOU ??? DIDNT THINK SO.

So next time before you jump on someones case try to think ... hmm maybe they are not american or use this as a first language , maybe they are a young kid who may not care how they type as long as the message is taken and help is given for a topic they need or husbandry issues they have .

Think of it like this maybe when you jump someones ass for the typing they display maybe just maybe you are casuing more damage then help by making this person feel like they are not welcomed because of there typing skill or grammer useage therfore the real reason they came to the forum to ask that question is overlooked by people who down there ability to punctuate there question and then the animals and possible new keepr suffer from you fun n games not everyone who keeps snakes know every cause & effect of problems they ask about but they ask because they wantto better themselves and the animals they keep. ever thoughtof that before you jump someones ass on it .. try thinking about it ..if the spelling bothers ya its alot easier to not reply to the post then to chastize someone for there spelling someone will answer the question for them in a respectable manner and understand that they are looking to better themselves and animals

Yes this is full of mistakes
Yes this has uncapitolized words
Yes there are run on sentences
yes there are lots of things wrong but if you made it this far to read this you should comprehend the jist of this message

I think we should be more careful about attacking people for poor spelling and grammar. I have done it extensively in the past, and it always leads to heartache. However, I do not think ignorance of your "native" language should be blithely tolerated or ignored either.

It doesn't matter if it was a joke or not, The only thing I worry about is if you can help me get some information.

And I'm a 17 year old dutch dude so I speak english well but my writing sucks. I know.

There's alot of info. on the internet. You can do a Google search on "Boa Constrictor Behavior" and also "Boa Constrictor Research" You'll get all kind's of useful info. for your School Project. One thing though it is important when you search the internet that you spell thing's correctly, use a Dictionary, Good Luck in your search & Class Project ! !
Have A Good One ! !
