No one said I didnt appreciate your post.....but since you're not "allowing me to think" as you'd mentioned (and just WHO has a control issue here? LOL), I guess you shouldnt have even responded to my response to RAINER, now should you have? I think not my friend.
Also, since when did I get lumped into the "morph group"....Frank I typically don't like morphs at all......actually, anery and hypo genetics are kinda neat, but I make no efforts at tinkering with making peanut butter and jelly snakewiches either!!! LMAO. So please don't go there buddy -- that's not me. I specifically breed for locality and select for pretty snakes, period. And you know this.
Lastly, THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN EVER, EVER REPLICATE OR DUPLICATE WHAT NATURE CAN OFFER. So just stop it already. 99.8% of the folks that are in the hobby (for some an industry) will not create a 10x10 outdoor, escape-proof pen for their pair of snakes complete with misting system and ranges of temps of 50 through 120F, underground lairs and rock formations. And neither do we do this in our homes which is even more remotely possible despite Mike russo's on-going efforts to get one end of the 55 gallon into the fridge with the other end in the stove (LOL)......we just don't do this, and I've seen some try almost at the expense of melting their tubs or creating a hazardous condition. WE DO THE BEST WE CAN, some more than others given individual efforts of creativity, desire, monetary means, etc etc.
Your views are often great, and it IS very thought provoking. But replicating this entirely in such restrictive conditions just is not entirely possible -- maybe to SOME degree, but not entirely. So given that PAINFUL reality for you Frank, does that mean we should all not keep herps in captivity if we can not provide as you preach?
And are you saying that you provide more for your colubrids than just a tub laden with aspen shavings, clean water dish, a hide spot or two, and a basic temp gradient? I've been asking you to post a photo for years on this matter, and you've refused. You've "ousted" me from your abusive learning brigade, and that's fine. I can get information easily with only a fraction of the sarcasm you heartily dish out. But I still can't help but feel you keep your colubrids pretty much the same as the average Joe yet flaunt a mysterious fool-proof system that you want us to "figure out". But you won't dare to completely share it because you want us to "figure it out".....how sadistic in some ways that is! LOL. It's like you want us to believe you have a 45 Magnum pointing from under your cloak, but what you REALLY have under there is nothing more than a banana. LMAO! Why not just be more transparent? You might have more comrades other than those hungry coachwhips you've also seemed to brainwash with a hot mouse. 
And by the way, the next time my wife gets pissed off catching me just "watching" my snakes (as I sometimes do), I'm just gonna tell her it's Frank Retes' fault -- YOU can deal with her. LOL!
