Wow – without all the controversy this week I don’t think there would be much of a WIR for me to post – also got side tracked with other work and family so it's a little shabby this week - but here I go ….
Another wife crushes mans love for ball pythons – man has to get rid of 2400 gram female – makes ball breeder on other end of phone very happy! 
WC balls can be tricky to get feeding and are often sold as CB - be careful – forced feeding or tube feeding should be a last resort and should not be done by amateurs.
Can you keep a pet rat and ball python? I suppose – I believe you can also keep pet cows and eat burgers – but I’ll have to check the heartland and get back to you.
WWE SuperStar Eddie Guerrero – never follow wrestling but RIP.
The regular slew of husbandry questions: feeding, substrate, heating, equipment, temps, humidity……..
Myths and Urban Legends – just watch out with the guy with hook and here’s one you may enjoy:
About a week or so ago, a mother took her eager 3 year old son to Burger King for lunch. After they ate their lunch the mother said that the son could go and play on the playground for awhile since he ate all his lunch.
She watched as the boy played in the tunnels, slide and in the ball-pit. The boy played for about 10 minutes when he started to whimper slightly.
The mother asked the boy what had happened and he mearly replied, "Hurt mommy." The mother assumed that the little boy had banged his elbow or something while playing.
They left to return home. A half and hour after they were home, the mother noticed some big red welts on the little boys arms and legs. Not being able to figure out what they were, the mother started to look at them closer. Could be red ant bites . . . she did not know.
An hour later, the little boy died. Come to find out, when returning to Burger King to see if there were red ants in the play area, in case the little boy had an allergic reaction. Burger King employees and herself discovered that there was a family of baby rattlesnakes living underneath the balls in the ball-pit area. She has since found out that this happens more frequently than not. The snakes will crawl into the ball pit because it is dark and warm in there. She knows for a fact that another death has occurred because of this in South Carolina. Please use caution when letting any children play in an outside play area of a fast food restaurant, this could happen anywhere. Burger Kings are now building their play area's inside the buildings for a more safe environment.
Never, ever encourage Chris and Quig on any tangent they may take – it will only lead to dirty bathrooms and bicycles. 
Low Grade Pastels – yes there are ugly pastels no that is not one!!!!
Breeding season is upon us and apparently so are the hybrid questions. Someone’s gotta draw the line somewhere – David there are just too many things wrong with this…
Davye has put in his official request for the community not to mass produce Mojaves this season instead let please try to mix them. He may have a point – tho there are waaaay too many people that bought the ones mass-produced this year that have to make their money back.
And there was yet another market discussion posted – spawning a new forum please be sure to check the “The Sky is Falling” forum for your future marketing questions.
If you missed this one it’s a new classic:
TOP 10 REASONS WE NEED A BALL SUB-FORUM:
1. People that never invested in Ball Pythons who somehow know the end is near.
2. People that hate Ralph Davis but secretly want their very own Forums....and their own Bobblehead action figure....and also have a fantasy about Gene Simmons and a tub of Vanilla pudding
3. People that need to post again and again....and again about the dropping Pastel prices
4. People that really really want the normal Ball they purchased for a deal to be a morph.....and if its not.....to have people tell them its a new morph anyway
5. People that know all the things that the big guys do wrong.....like hold on to snakes that go up in price, and not drop prices each day if they dont sell immediately.....dont these big guys know that it costs over a $1 per week to raise these things.....just drop the price by half and sell 10% more.......and make it up in volume.....easy!
6. People that are waiting on the big price drop so they can make way more money
7. People that are going to crush all the big guys for not answering all their posts on KS....you know the ones that anyone with the AVS Ball Python book would already know
8. People that cant believe the big breeder wouldnt let him hold all the morphs on their table at the big show.....how do they know you arent buying today.....even if you did ask "what kind of snake is that?"
9. People that always tell you how fast all the Morphs you own are going to be worth less than Cornsnakes
10. People that want to be the lowest price around.....cause that just good business sense my friend
Oh yeah and as if there was not enough controversy and name calling this week – just to make it interesting the Derma showed up again – tho it does appear to be loosing it’s freakishly interesting and/or controversial appeal. Whatever happened to the day when just owning a snake made you a freak – when did it become who owns the freakiest snake. Awww well.
