Re: Missing Colubrid Section?

There are distinct differences in most species well beyond feed and water it. We joke on the blood python group about not trying to explain the species. Just accept they are different lol My sstp frustrates me and makes me shake my head when he chooses some weird option for comfort or decides some detail of how he needs specially fed for this month. Why he stayed in the cool areas over winter while it was cold and now hasn't left the warm side when it's getting a bit too hot in here some days I don't know. Ask Eoghan but all I got today was a strike at my arm for seeing if he was ready to eat a live mouse and it accidentally falling on him. Ha, I knew he would get pissy about me trying to recapture the mouse so I had a strip of slate held in the hand with the tongs which he failed to get around. I was talking to someone today about how they took a bullsnake simply because everyone else was too scared of it's bluffing strikes and how amusing it becomes when you realize just how serious or not they are. Completely contrary to the python I can dump a bullsnake most anywhere and in a few days they are unconcerned about their environment where I've been working on getting that python to settle in around people and dogs since Jan with amazing progress in that he actually crosses the bin now instead of being a statue that eats when live food runs by him enough. The bulls face a threat and play rattlesnake until they determine it's not actually going to do anything and then like the corn snake are everywhere. The pickiness, stress level, etc... of each snake species and therefore things like why they aren't eating is not the same. Even the more similar ones have some details.

Personally I like the sub sections - even the quiet ones - as there's valuable information in there when researching a species of interest and I wouldn't want to go trawling through a load of posts unrelated to the animal in question.

One thing I think that makes a forum different to a facebook group for example is that it is more curated and is an excellent archive of information and this would be lost to an extent if we starting lumping a whole load of stuff together.

All of it!
