Did I spell that right. You can find it anywhere if you look. Like Cindy said above, why not look for the meat of the subject and not worry about what you feel is condescending.



When ever two people come together to discuss different views, something has to be "condescending" or taken as lack of knowledge.



You live in New York don't you. Well, that makes me wonder, folks in your area are the kings of fluff. That is, they make a point, but its very hard to find between derogatory adjectives.



Truely, I do not mean to be condescending or rude. I do mean to be STRAITFORWARD and direct. Which is something I like. If there is something you do not understand, please ask me about it, do not assume its something against you, or condescending.



Also, I come from a foundation that we ALL suck as keepers. So I do not have that I am better then you thing, that is normally assigned by people who do not understand what I am saying. As you should know, I have been doing this for a very long time, and oddly enough, I have worked with reptiles in the field for just as long. Also oddly enough, everything I brought into the hobby for husbandry, has come from the field and tested with captives.



Even more odd, I was one of the original pioneers of "hibernation" and such folks as Erine Wagner was an original supporters of photoperiod. We got along very well.



Of course, I now do not support either. Those were merely primitive tools to gain some manner of captive success.



I already understand we all have our own unique approach. And I hope we are all welcome to them. But that should not stop me from hopefully some folks to see that these is MORE to these snakes. Most folks WANT to understand the animals they are keeping, some only want instant success. Then theres anything and everything inbetween.



What gets me is, why do you care what I say. You seem to be doing very well. I should be of no threat to you. But you treat me like one, why is that?



Does it bother you that I use you as an example? It shouldn't, its a compliment. People use me all the time. hahahahahahahahahahahaha for good and bad, I do not really care which one.



Anyway, have a great mothers day and keep up the good work. Cheers



p.s. I did not read any of the other posts that caused the grief.
