With this type of trash mouth, uncalled for response, it's no wonder no one will respect you. Have a nice day.

First, understand that this is a public forum. You came on here asking questions, so you can't be upset because people don't answer the way you want them to. Second, and I say this as nicely as possible, both your husbandry and your information about snakes is way off base. Your snake used it's water bowl so often either because it was stressed or supplementing for low humidity. Snakes don't size up there prey. I've seen on many occasions snakes take more than they can handle and after hours of trying, simply give up. Also, snakes do not grow/live based on the size of there enclosure /surroundings. It's a combination of food intake and genetics.

You should seriously consider listening to the advice given. Most of the negative responses would have been avoided if use simply admitted that you made a mistake and we're fixing the problem. Everyone on here at one time has made mistakes in husbandry due to bad information. I myself look back at the way I kept snakes years ago and wonder how I managed to maintain any level of decent health. I made mistakes, plain and simple. I never got down on myself about it because once I was educated, I immediately changed everything to ensure the proper environment for both my snakes and the living things around them.

Bottom line, nothing wrong with mistakes. It's how we learn. But it's our responsibility as keepers of living things, to learn from our mistakes and not repeat them. Now if you have any questions about your boas care, there are many knowledgeable keepers on her who would be more than will to help you get all the info you need. If you would like pm me and I can help you out as well.

imo facts are required even more if it's something detrimental to our hobby

i mean you no offence mate

all the best,shaun

I totally agree with what your saying. The reason I was not willing to go find the links to the couple of cases involving boas that I read a while back was because of the simply ignorant attitude of pdomensis, who responded to what I said so I didn't feel like I needed to prove myself write or any one els for that matter, know what I mean? The attitude of some on this forum is just plane moronic.

Like I said it seems like some people on this forum try to make every thing a **** measuring contest lol.

Merry Christmas shaunyboy
Best regards, Nathan!

I think if you look back at my post you'll see there wasn't anything "simply ignorant" about it. You made a claim which I found interesting and asked for more info. As it turns out your claim was false.

Just cas you didn't find these incidents doesn't mean they didn't happen.

You can end this disagreement Nathan, just post the links to all the boa attacks that have killed people.

You are becoming irritating. As they say, "put up or shut up." Provide links to the incidents you are so sure have happened but we can not find or cease and desist.

[CrotalusR#1]

I will get the name of the book that I read a couple accounts of this happening and the others can simply be found on the internet and one of those has already be talked about on this damn forum.

I will post the name of the booK when I can.
Until then there's really nothing to be said, as in arguing.


FWK, obviously you couldn't get it that in my last reply that I am done arguing on this thread. I tried ending it in a polite way, so why you feel the need to continue it on, is beyond me.

I mean it's Christmas and we are auguring about snakes and what was said, I means really dose that just not sound so stupid???

So again FWK, I am done on this thread, it is no long worth anyone's time so let's drop it.

Honestly everyone should stop with boa vs python thing. Move on and let it be.

Why do things on here have to turn into an attack? Let it GO.

Not everything is an attack. When someone post opinion and states it as fact, and is then asked to prove where the statement came from, is not an attack. We are to be posting provable facts here and not old wives tales.

[Minkness]

Then make another thread about it instead of hikacking someone else's.

Besides, if you know the truth, then why is proof so important anyway?

I'm not just talking about this thread either. I've seen it in other threads as well.

It's just so frustrating when I go to read or reply to a thread that isn't even about what it was in the first place.

[pdomensis]

I honestly wasn't trying to stir up anything. I'm relatively new to snakes and wasnt aware of any boa related deaths, just large pythons. If there are incidents, I'd like to hear about it so I have my facts straight when people ask or make accusations.

[Minkness]

Which is totally cool! I'm just saying to make a new thread for it. I personally didn't know the difference between bythons or boas as I'm a colubrid kinda person.

So maybe it's a good idea to start a new thread about their differences and the discussion about which one causes more human/pet deaths and such.

That way this thread (or any thread really) can stay on topic.

=)

[SSSSnakes]

If misinformation is not corrected in the thread that it is in, then that misinformation is considered as fact, and that misinformation is passed on. That is why it is needed to be corrected at the time it appears.

This so called hijacking a thread is stupid. There is no rules saying a thread is only to be discussed on the topic posted. The threads go where they go and should be discussed with provable fact and not opinions. If you which to make you opinion known, then expect others to disagree with you.

[Minkness]

Never said it was a rule, just irritating. And if info is wrong, then state it, link to the correct info, and move on, don't turn it into a silly debate.

That being said, I'm done with this. Some just want to bicker and the OP has nothing to say or has moved on.

This thread is over with I believe.

Toodles!
