EVERYONE:
It is time I do something very owed to the great community of people who enjoy and love there animals for all reasons be it whatever matter to each person.
My conduct in this forum since December 2004 has been very different from my overall norm since a member. I will admit I am being more vocal about issues relating to me. I will admit I may not do the same as some of you might in the same circumstances. My method is always to be respectful best I can. I may not agree with many of you but I never debate it either.
Recent threads (only 3) on my collection have gained alot of attention because the site records members replies and views of the threads. At current these are hitting record highs. I am not bragging it is only an observation. It is a shame the content within these threads did not bring the community to look, reply or better the community in any way. I am not calling out anyone or pointing fingers here in this thread and hope any replies do the same. I am not making this thread to battle it out with anyone and will not reply to anyone that feels they found another method to consider me a punching bag. Please let it rest with past issues once and for all.
I choose to write this thread here because many who have read those 3 other threads are not all into boas, nor know who I am or anything about my collection. So I am doing this here as a general way to reach the most members with what I am about to discuss here. There is no way in knowing on my part to see that all that saw those threads have seen my last replies as well so in fairness this thread gives me something to consider. Maybe if there is say 4000 views on this thread I could believe maybe people gave me a chance to see it from my side of things.
It does not matter to me what my accusers stated in those threads, because no hard evidence has been brought fourth. The statement innocent till proven guilty stands and I am a free man.
Anything that any member feels that I offended them with had no place in those threads. There are other methods on communication that would have settled the issues though they were not considering by most of the members. I do not have anything against any of you because I never dealt with 97% of you in business. So I see no reason to be offended either way. I have not bashed anyone here that was not already public knowledge between people involved and surrounding circles. So there is no reason to try this with me publicly (both here and the BOI). Personal agendas are not business practices; if I can leave my issues on all of you at the door please do the same with me. I think that is fair.
I will apologize for my past with anyone that feels I offended them. There is no need for me or anyone involved to bring it up again. Your getting my apology, please accept it. If you do not wish to please be man or woman enough to just let it go.
Much of this was planned to be said much earlier, but I did not feel the timing or the way I would try to explain this all would be fair to all involved. And on my part with a level head to communicate this best I can. Now I am at peace with the issues on how I understand them and hope you all do the same.
Rather than type this quote all over, it actually stands for what I am trying to achieve with all my animals in some form or another.

I am trying alot of experimentation on this project that I hope I can collect enough data and possible state as a science once the first steps of this project are taken. Breeding animals to me is not just a fun adventure but also something I consider a science. The Snow Boa species does have alot of "facts" that are yet to be proven as other morphs have achieved. I am very secretive and anal about this project so please bare with me as I hope to bring actual informative breeding processes I have learnt and wish to share with the community. All I want to do is contribute something of value back to the world where I gained my first steps to the next evolution of the herp community.

I will not put up links of the other 2 threads mentioned or the thread on the BOI. If you wish to know about the whole circumstance it is available in the Boa Section of this forum. Nobody needs to put up links as alot of this is rather current on both forums. Also in both of my last replies on 2 mentioned animals, things are rather easily understood from my last replies.
Again I am sorry to all who got involved one way or another, I will be the better man and apologize, if you wish to do the same back to me that would be appreciated.
I want us as a community to be strong and proud of our animals and our ethics in the responsibility to our collections. I hope you all see this as well and we can all move forward with a new evolution of this hobby (be it small or large it is still a hobby).
Thank you all.
Peace
Tony Pharosx
Can we all get along, please !
