Missing Colubrid Section?

[jjhill001]

I think just posting in the generic colubrid section is the best way to have questions answered at a decent rate. Kind of useless to separate them when the care is all so similar.

Sure, then let's lump all the boa's, python's, etc. into just general sections...kind of useless to separate them when the care is all so similar.

It's not like any moderators would have a huge workload monitoring any posts, etc. in a new Bull section, but I'm just looking out for the other Bull owners.

True, I don't know the work involved in adding another section...maybe just clicking a few buttons in a GUI and adding a title and description for the new section, I'm not sure, but....mmmm, please!

But hey, if you can create one for the Bull owners, fantastic? If not, I might kindly remind you from time to time, or when I next add a Taiwanese Beauty Snake (Orthriophis taeniurus) to my collection and ask why there's no section for Rat Snake owners!

Most of the forums were here before the resurrection of the website about 10 years ago. I just think there hasn't been much need of a reconfigure of it. Maybe it's time to discuss it.

Original reason the separation was done was because so many pics and questions where species specific in a general section. It cluttered up finding information for the lesser kept species.

I'm typing this on my iPhone so excuse the lack of including other quotes from other forum posters!

Including the "gophers" would be nice as another poster, Akane, posted previously.

The sarcastic "general thread" for all snakes was in response to jjhill001's posting to the same...I'm surprised you didn't catch that, Aaron!!

When you get down to brass tacks is there that much of a difference in care between a boa constrictor and a ball python outside of the size of the enclosure and food?

I just meant that more people peruse the general colubrid section and because it doesn't have the crazy popularity that some of the individual python/boa species it's a little unnecessary given that 95% of the questions are about NA colubrids.
