Just My Opinion!!!

[tightsqueeze]

ok I see alot of people saying that people shouldn't buy a Burmese Python or any snake that has a rather large growth potental if they can't house it as an adult and I TOTALY agree...but to be honest with you I think Geckos are starting to take over the large snakes spot on the podium.

I am always surfing the forums and looking in the classifieds and occasionaly you will see someone selling a large snake ,be it a burm ,retic ,etc.
But I can guarentee you will ALWAYS see Geckos for sale alot of times people will just give them away....now don't get me wrong they are cute little buggers , but i just can't say I agree with so many people breeding so many of them , and some of the prices I see on these little gaffers is outragious......

Like I said this was just my opinion !!!!

I think with geckos being given away it more of getting bored with the little sticky toes than not being able to handle it. It is a valid observation, and I agree that too pany people are probably breeding them. But it is not an animal that will outgrow you. I think getting bored witht he animal is the driving factor. As far as the massive amount of breeding. Geckos are often a first lizard and they are easy to breed. Too many people with pipe dreams of making a living breeding herps. It is few and far between that herps are the sole source of income.

[Xetox]

Aint that the truth.....I breed for the enoyment of it! The extra income I make off of it is nice but in no way would it ever support me! Basicaly it pays for the equipment and new speices and supplys so it dont cost me to play with my hobbie :)

But it has takin alog time to get to that point!

[tightsqueeze]

lol thyats funny.... no BWSmith i didn't mean that Geckos are going to out grow us ...lol
my point was only that they are getting up there with all the animal mass breed and you get board of them qhick ...lol

cheers

It seems you get bored of all your animals just as quick, it seems you have gone through more animals in the last 6 months then the Biggest African exporter.

[tightsqueeze]

who are you teK_n9ine?????
do i know you?
if you only joined in january of this year then how do you know anything about me let alone the past 6 months when you have only been here for 2???

[teK_n9ine]

not all members register the same day they come to the site. I have been coming here for about 9 months now, but only decided to join in January. Nice try though sherlock. No, you dont know me.

[tightsqueeze]

then what are you talking about when your saying i get board of my animals quickly and i have gone through alot in like 6 months?????

if you don't know me then who are you to say that ?

[Alicewave]

Wow, this thread is getting a little nasty...

[BWSmith]

Now kids. Let's play nice. If you make a really bold statement you need to qualify it. If you don't it sounds like just picking on him/her/it. If you qualify it, then it is different. Don't make me send both of you to Time Out with no cookies ;)

[ballpython5000]

is there any truth behind that statement or is it just slander?

[tightsqueeze]

no i just want to know why this guy is making staments about someone he knows NOTHING about!
thants all im not pissed or nothing just curious

[tightsqueeze]

[QUOTE]is there any truth behind that statement or is it just slander?


truth behind what stament?

[BWSmith]

By the same token, you dont know who HE/SHE/It is. They may know everything about you.

[ballpython5000]

yup and just becuase you dont know them does not mean they dont know you

the statement about you going through more herps than an african exporter

[tightsqueeze]

still ...i just want to know who this person is !

[ballpython5000]

i must say, this is the fastest growing forum i have ever seen!

[tightsqueeze]

ofcourse thats not true
and he said i don't know him !this is starting to pi$$ me off i want to know who this person is !

[Alicewave]

I could make a few guesses...

[tightsqueeze]

he saems to think he knows me so i want to know who it is

[ballpython5000]

creepy.............

[Alicewave]

Whoever it is, don't come around here picking fights because it is not welcome. If you are bold enough to make such a crass statement as to insult someone's hunbandry in a manner which is completely out of line, at least dont be a coward and hide behind a fake screenname.

[tightsqueeze]

Thank You Alicewave well said indeed!

[ballpython5000]

run an ip search and compare it to other members

[BWSmith]

Jesus, gotta give him at least 3 minutes to respond. LOL Looks like he is lready labeled as aloar when he may be telling the truth. Won't know till he comes back. Calm yourselves.

*handing out Ridylin*

[Alicewave]

It doesn't matter if he is telling the truth. Nothing warrants the language he used.

[tightsqueeze]

how do you do that ball python5000

[Alicewave]

The admins have to do it. I'm going home. I know Jeff will take care of this. :)

[tightsqueeze]

i will call jeff hes my neighbour and let him know of this

[ballpython5000]

ask an admin to do it
they get everyone's ip who comes here and signs up. if it is another member holding a grudge and using another screen name to attack you then a match will be found.
well unless they know how to proxy that is, and i assume that if you bann that ip it would also bann that other screen name they may be using. lets say BW is the attacker. if you start comparing ip's you would match his to that other guy. and if you were to bann that guys ip it would also bann BW from here.
so if it is another member doing it then it is as simple as that to catch them

[ballpython5000]

my god i have seen this forum go from 1 post to 3 pages in less than half an hour!

[tightsqueeze]

thank you bp5000

[BWSmith]

I saw no foul or offcolor language. I saw an analogy that can be offensive, but I found it to be clever, not nice, but clever ;)

[ballpython5000]

this is like watching that tv show the mole, i can't wait till we find out who it is!
the tension is rising!

[tightsqueeze]

an analogy thats not true canot be clever..lol

[ballpython5000]

pssst, i personally think it is that girl alicewave, i knew she was a bad apple right from the start! :P

[tightsqueeze]

i want to know who it is for other reasons
im not mentioning them

[BWSmith]

will call jeff hes my neighbour and let him know of this
Now we know who did it!! LOL


an analogy thats not true canot be clever
Truth has nothing to do with clever. I find movies clever too. Doesn't make them true. :D

[ballpython5000]

i laughed at that analogy. pretty clever, i agree!
it was very mean though

[J_Riley]

Just for a little clarification, slander is spoken word, lible is written word :D

And this forum is certainly the home of multiple page threads...

[ballpython5000]

i know i was gonna use libel but i assumed many would not recognize it as written slander

[BWSmith]

ok, i just realized that it is lowering my IQ by participating in this flame-to-be and auto-condemn. On to bigger, better and relevant threads. This aint got nothin to do with me. But like so many I get sucked into the nonsense every once in a while. I am ashamed of us all for taking the bait. This is between tightsqeeze, the mystery poster (cant remeber the handle it was 8 minutes and 6 pages ago;) ) and possibly an admin.

[Xetox]

lol....I was here not 20 min ago and this thread was still one page....gotta love a good flame battel ;)

J/K it was mean but we wont know the whole reason till the mystery man shows himself........We are going to have to call scooby doo to get to the bottom of this mystery ;)

[tightsqueeze]

im not starting anything here i just want to know whos flapping there gums at me like they know me !

this was started out as a simpl comment and has been turned in to what it is now because someone was beeing ignorant !

[ballpython5000]

this is runnin like a nancy drew mystery novel. or maybe me and BW can pair up and be the hardy boys.

[Dozer]

Page 4, POST #2!!!! WOO HOO!!!

[sSNAKESs.com]

Okay guys, Tek, cool down man, your crossing the line and it wont be tolerated here... If this continues someone will be removed.

As for giving out the IP of a member regardless of whom it is, it wont be done unless it has been asked for by the authorities or another legal representitive. There are legalities involved when you give out peoples information, wether it be a IP, a email when they have chosen to not have there email displayed etc... When i find out that a person is using more then 1 name for posting negativity and it is not there only name, both names will be removed, but there info will never be given.

[tightsqueeze]

so are you going to do a search to find out who this guy is?
i just want this guy to leave me alone , i have a bad temper and i don't want to do something i will regret later

thanks jeff
peace out
jay

[sSNAKESs.com]

Not much else i can tell you but that his ip only matches up with his handle. What he did doesnt warrent me to release his private information, sorry J.

[sSNAKESs.com]

Due to further complications via PM, Tek has been banned.

[ballpython5000]

any matches yet?
jeff is that you in your avatar pic?

[sSNAKESs.com]

No his ip was unique and no, i was playing a joke on shane and said it was his picture from his Grade 9 Year book! :P

[tHeGiNo]

LOL ya that ignorant fool was running his mouth off at me and a few others i know. He, im my experience here, has a tendency to run his mouth as he hides behind a computer. By the way Jeff isnt the only one who can get his ip LMAO he e-mailed me so I have it too, I had a little battle with him earlier...

[sSNAKESs.com]

Gino, I dont want to set back your quest to find him but if he sent you a email though the site, the IP adress is probably the sites... Those emails sent through ssnakess get processed on the box itself and not third party mailers.. If you replied and he replied to your email after then you could have his IP.

[chas*e]

ANY OPINIONS FROM AN INDIVIDUAL DURHAM SNAKE GROUP MEMBER DOES IN NO WAY REFLECT THE OPINIONS OF THE GROUP AS A WHOLE..THANK YOU

[sSNAKESs.com]

I would also like to ad, he was at the last PCPC Show and introduced himself to me and I definatly dont think he is "hiding" behind his computer. Banned or not banned he can still "read" the forums. This thread is now closed, he will no longer be posting so putting him down when he is not here to defend himself wont accomplish anything.
