First Tony, you are not quite getting where I am coming from.

Yes, I am assuming a lot about you, and thats because you do not offer anything REAL. You offer theory. Which is great. I am not offering theory. I am offering results from captive animals and reports on wild animals.

I do not make absolutes, or "onlys". I offer results and reports. The reality is, we could debate all manner of whys and maybes of these results and reports, but these reports are real and in real time.

You want to debate realtime results with theory. I cannot do that. As I gain more information from captives and nature, I surely will add that to what I think, even if it allows me to completely change my current position. So no, absolutes, I do not understand that, or why you would even think that way.

I think, you think in absolutes, so you take my statements the same as you do your thoughts. Sir, there is no place for absolutes here.

If I say they(the snakes) live in groups, that means, a percentage of their meaningful population, does live in groups. IT does not mean, each and every snake. As most of each population is transient and expendable. How you measure the strenght of a population is based on the percentage of producing animals, verses non producing transients, etc.

I understand it must be very difficult or even impossible for you to understand where I come from, the reason is simple, you do not seem to have the experience necessary to even make any kind of judgement. On offense with that, but you have offered nothing. I have asked, What is your experience in the field, and you simply disappear and come back with something else. Or somehow making it about me. Again Tony, why not make it about the experiences and results we(you and I) have obtained.

So yes, its odd you make things into absolutes. Cheers
