I love how you actually have fun and like your snakes. The first pic is a axanthic, hahahahahahahahahahahaha I agree NOW. the second is a pretty hogose.
I do not know if you know my recent history, for a little over two years, I have been working in the field with hogs, and let me tell you, there are indeed some, lets just say, some are not so gifted in the area of looks.

As Brian barczyk says when it's just about money, it's time for you to leave. I spend time every day with my hogs. Always after the wife and children go to bed but then I go down to the snake room, kick the tv on snake bytes and clean, feed, hold, take pictures mop the floor. Shit all of it's fun. Although I do hate a regurged mouse or one that I thought ate but it's sitting on the heat cord in the back of the rack. Yummy sweet smell. Frank I've followed almost all ur posts and you get a bad wrap sometimes. You are so passionate about about ur animals and the ones in the field and that shines thru. I applaud all that you have done thruout the many years of herptoculture. I'm 32 been keeping snakes since I've been 10. I still have sooooooo much to learn.

Thanks, Heres the deal, there are always folks on the other side of the fence. no matter what the subject is. That's people.
And that is fine
Its also about science, well not science, but how science is taught, no wait, not how its taught, but instead, how its taken. Science is not about "right or wrong" or "this way or that way". or methods, or formulas or recipes. Science is about asking questions. Then ask some more, its not actually believing in an answer. What school somehow ends up teaching us is, for students to become judgemental. having or displaying an excessively critical point of view.
"I don't like to sound judgmental, but it was a big mistake"
synonyms: critical, censorious, condemnatory, disapproving, disparaging, deprecating, negative, overcritical, hypercritical
"he's compulsively judgmental" You know, the right answer and you pass, the wrong answer and you fail. The problem is, they do not teach people to THINK. I ask folks to think. Sometimes it hurts or appears to hurt them.
Science tests, forms theory/hypothesis then tests that. Its never about a religious belief in the results. Instead those results are used to ask better questions. Or to simply test in a different way. Its not about knowing, its about questioning. Sorry for the rant.
Anyway, I love to see passion and joy. That coupled with work ethic always results in something good. Your passion and joy shines thru.
Consider those that attempt to give me the bad rap, their approach is defined in the synonyms in red. Look at what they say and then look at the words in red. As Jim Carey said, FITS LIKE A GLOVE. I need to post some pics, so far, three pairs copulated. Its a start.
