Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I have been frequenting this forum for over a year now!I have been trying my best to learn everything that I can possibly learn everything that I could possibly learn about the hobby that I have decided to be a part of!I have learnt from the post that,I posted below that alot of people don't understand my question's or feel that I ramble on with my question's!A big deal was made about grammer an spelling an what not a while back an I have even taken the time to try an do a better job with that!I am sorry that I am disabled an I don't feel that I should have to appologize for that but I reckin I need to look at the fact that not everyone on the other end of the pc may know this!I have made alot of freinds over the past year on this forum an I know all the new people here on this forum will meet alot of great people also!If any of my question's just didnt make sence or sounded like I was rambling,That wasn't my intention,I was just trying to fully explain my questions that way they could be better understood an I would get a better answer to them!I want everyone too know that I love everyone of boa's an would never intentionally do anything to hurt any of them!An out of the 18 boa's I have had over the past year an a half I have only had 2 die on me,So if my questions sound dumb I apollogize but to have that many boa's,I must be doing somthing right!An the people that know me understand that I am disabled an take the time to here my questions out an take the time to help answer them an explain why an are all really great!If people on here cant understand that it is sometimes hard for me to understand something or word it right then maybe I should just stay off of the forum an stick to the telephone calls to the people I know,An say Goodbye to the forum period!Thanks to all for taking the time to read my forums an helping me out when I needed help!Later,Eric[Hypoboa]

You and noone else should have to apologize for spelling errors in my opinion...we all make mistakes. And its just a FORUM where we type. We don't all have the time to type every word correctly and revise it before it is sent to double check on errors. To the ones who are grammatically correct and superficial piss off. LoL! We're all human - who are you to judge?

If that moron has a problem with your typeing the hell with him!!!! the nerve of him telling you to give away your boas because of spelling and gramatical errors!!! dont let people like that bug you one bit you just keep doing what your doing it will all come together for you , you'll see

Hey Eric, don't sweat it. I have learned alot about these forums also. People are affraid that the more people that get educated about breeding snakes,...the less money there is in it for them. They try to only tell you what they feel is safe. What they do not realize is that this methode is what really weekens an organization. If people would share their learnings more yes we would also succeed, but the organization would also grow, and it would be stronger because of everyone working together. It is the influx of the new people being added to this hobby that will give it growth and stop all the anti's. These animal rights groups are so strong because they are actually united. We should learn from them. Hey sputnik...this was just my 2 cents..hahaha. Take care all, keep on Eric! Andy

Eric, Please remember that there is no such thing as a dumb question, and also no need for you to apologize for anything you have done. I have seen your posts over the past year and although admittedly there have been some grammatical and spelling errors, it is obvious to me that you are sincere in your efforts to learn how to care for your animals. You will, in time, learn all that it takes to care for your boas just KEEP ASKING and KEEP READING all that you can get your hands on. There is no substitute for experience and the sometimes difficult lessons that we must learn from it. Most that I know who have kept reptiles for any length of time have lost some on occasion, mostly due to lack of experience at the time. I include myself in that group, by the way. BUT, the lessons learned from experience, especially when it has caused the death of one of our treasured creatures, has helped me to better care for the ones that remain. I wish you luck with your collection and hope you gain all the knowledge that you can.

Take care,
Denny

Just a suggestion....
Type your post on WORD (using spell/grammar check) and cut & paste to the forum.

I could care less though.

Eric, I have a doctorate and my spelling sucks. Please do not take offense to those who seem to have a need to make themselves feel intelligent by constantly bashing other’s spelling. Ironically some of these same people have horrible grammar. I have noticed that many on the forums get annoyed with certain questions and instead of just not replying they elect to ridicule the poster. However, if you pay close attention I am sure that you will notice that the great majority of the people on this forum want to help. Many times the guys taking the time to answer the most basic questions are the same guys who has over 20 years of experience! So please stick around, don’t apologize and continue to enjoy the 90% percent of the posts ad posters who remember that this is just a HOBBY and should be enjoyed like a hobby. Take care,

Alton

I've been reading this Boa forum for a few months now and I must say .....
If you didn't ask the questions you've been asking, then I wouldn't have learned as much as I have already!!
Keep asking the questions so that the rest of us can learn too!

well Man, i know that we dont talk to each other hardly at all and if i recall we had sort of a mistunderstanding in our first meeting with each other but that doesnt mean that i want you to leave. am i anal about spelling? hell yes i am. am i going to ridicule anyone? no, but if the typo is funny i might poke fun at the person but its all done with an understanding that it is all in fun. do i care that you are disabled? honestly, no i dont. to me you are an american citizen and that gives you the same rights as everyone else including freedom of speech (which as i recall there has been no amendments to the first amendment dealing with grammar and typos). so feel free to ramble, mispell, and add ask/comment away. hang in there buddy and all will be good. and just remember that most of the people in this world that criticise someone about grammar and spelling would probably [bleep] their pants if you held a snake up to them.

I want to say I was very please to talk to you Eric, and am very glad you called, Please feel free to call me whenever you would like, I am very open and will share any knowledge i have with you.

Again, I apologize, I dont want you to give you boas away, I just want you to take time when you make a post, to think it thru before you hit the submit button and read back over it to see if it makes sense. I never said anything about his typing so i have no clue where that all is going. I just had a hard time figuring out what he was asking and what information he was giving, and to only wait 4 hours before reposting in frustration made me post in haste and frustration as well

I am glad we talked Eric,
Good luck,
Mark
