that boa is beautiful. i really like the dark red against the bright white. reminds me of a candy cane.
i know what it is like not getting comments. just love your animals for themselves not for what everyone else thinks. i think my adopted normal male BCI is amazing.

Do you honestly need someone to say "what a beauty!?" Unfortunately it seems increasingly more evident on some of these forums that if your surname / company name just isn't right, then you're unlikely to get a response. Such people could almost post any old thing and get dozens of responses!

You know you have a great animal, you really shouldn't need compliments!

If it makes you feel any better....

"WHAT A SCREAMER!!!!!!!!!! Stunning!"

Well you gotta admit,some people just plain struggle with social status and insecurity issues well into their adult stages.
Living content,with out props is a rare thing in todays world.
Following fads and being trendy rarely brings contentment,regardless how much you spend in futal funds.

Denile is confirmation !

I can see maybe why you didn't get any response, your original post said "check out this keeper out of a Burke DH" could easily be mis-understood as "look at my Burke DH"

Hey Greg,
That boy is looking really great! I am so happy to see that the breeding turned out so well for you and that you were able to get such a nice keeper out of it!
I don't get to check the forums much these days because I'm really busy with school and taking care of the animals and everything else, otherwise I would have commented sooner than now. But, don't let it get you down...you get to look at that beauty every day and what could be better than that?!!
Congratulations again on that litter.
Take care,

WOOOOW... you're SOOOOO COOOL. Thats the NICEST boa Ive ever SEEN!

*rolls eyes*.

Obviously it's a beautiful snake. But did you buy it for a project, self gratification, or just to get more comments posted on KS?

I try my best .

Obz is just a nickname.. little bit of a story, but it's not an acronym so it doesnt stand for anything.

I did read yer post, though admitadly, I skipped the part that you produced it. Congrats. You've got plenty of comments now .

RED instead of the typical orange. And the totally solid tails... just awesome. Yours is an excellent representation of their incredible line of sunglows.

Please obz don't think i'm a newbe at this,ive been breeding these's animals back when you were in pampers,i just wasn''t getting any reply's to that killer sunglow,so i see if i ask please and words like for cring out loud,it works,and remember mean people suck

Post whoring at its finest!. "Look at my snake .It is the best.Don't you think so?Of course you do. Now share my opinion with me!. I have been doing this since before your tail shrivled up , and you crawled up on the bank and became an adult toad. Thanks to all in advance for posting what I want to hear. TO those who don't expect a snappy comeback about age and experience.".
Who cares? I am a newbie. Who cares? I haven't seen much out of you, and you would think as much experience as you have you would be producing stuff in YOUR name, not just reproducing someone else's line. Interesting though. You seem old and grumpy, and yet you starve attention. Perhaps the forum can give you 15 minutes of silence. Everyone stare at Van, he is the MAN!
What do you think guys? No posts for 15 minutes so xxvanxx can post his little heart out?
Yeah, didn't think so.
Nice snake, I look forward to seing the same thing over and over in every post of yours, since big pictures in the signature area just totally ROCK!.

Hey no problemo. Just glad I was able to entertain. Its Thursday, what else is going on , ya know? At least you have a good attitude about it. I got a few people IMing me telling me I was harsh. Aparently people that don't know me all that well.Thanks for being a good sport, and I look forward to seeing more pics, just don't try to make me respond to them, lol.As you can tell, I am not the best social speaker(typer) so If I do comment, it probably is a bad thing.

one responce...Usually, no one says anything about them. Probably figure it is better to say nothing than say say..why are you posting such ugly, nasty boas??? You're going to break my screen if you keep it up. That's why I stopped posting them.
I must have the world's ugliest boas!!
But, that's ok, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, at least with my boas. Yours, on the other hand, are nice.

Delusions of Grandeur feed the EGO...

your one of the nicest people on here and have alot of nice animals and you've helped me out in a bunch,i just wanted to see what kind of responce i would get if i posted the way i did,and it worked,it brought alot of the good people out and the not so good people,but i don't want to judge anyone,i figure only God can judge me and thats the way it should be,sometimes im like davey over there on the rag,lol,j/k.Newton.i know if you treat people good and it will come back,sure alot of people don't know me very well,but i bet big time,, they have some of my animals and don't even know it.were all in this together like it or not,for anyone else that reads this i just wanted people to see my best boa,and i worded it defferent this time and look what i got,goes to show ya,its not what you say but how you say it,good luck to everyone this season,because i don't need it,im kidding i hope i get lucky too,,over and out

Hmm...toilet psychology would probably say I'm hard on myself because I have an fear of being hurt when someone else kicks me, so I kick myself harder so their kick doesn't hurt so much. Either that or I am secretly in love with my father...or was it mother?? In today's world, who can say??

Another hmm...you know most men I know when they say they hope they "get lucky" are not referring to their snakes..

Delusions of Grandeur feed the EGO...

Sometimes I have to just walk away from the keyboard...LOL...I know if I comment on some things, it will cause an uproar. So sometimes I just lurk as the others...lol. I like to post pics and would love comments, but I agree it's hard for others to comment when you come on saying WOW! Awesome hypo! now what does everyone think???

I guess we all need to realize...that we all love our own posts...or we would not have posted the pics in the first place, and if someone can spot something unique about what's posted...that's a great thing. So give it up for others sometimes and post some good comments. It only takes a small minute to say nice animal.

I try to see all sides.

Have a great day all!

Andy

Phew...I needed a laugh...even if it is at myself. After all, that is the safest laugh...it's not like I'm going to beat my self up for laughing at me...at least I would not admit in public to doing such a thing...

Greg thanks for showing off my sunglow brad.

Positively Outstanding Sunglow! Nice looking animal that just about anyone would want to own except crazy Davey. jk Davey LOL.

it is hard to just post and not say wow look at my stuff,but i will try and be alittle more thoughtfull or others that don't have animals as good as mine,j/k...no reall i do think alot as you do in ,i'll post on someone's animal just because nobody else has,it only takes a second,and it would make that person happier,but i think a few back i gave fig newton and obz a hard time so ,what comes around goes around in this cass,but no problem i'll all was be standing when its over,lol

Forever Trust in what we are,and nothing else Matters

For the record, I think it is an AWESOME animal that anyone would be proud to own. I just didn't like the presentation. No sweat though. Although I am sure others may not think the same about me, I have no personal problems with Van because of the post, and very much look forward to future postings of his.
