Very true, lets just hope the people who get those snakes will be experienced enough to tell the difference between "pure" and "unpure".

I guess that's probably a more realistic point of view. But still, the guy got a new snake and is excited about it. And it is pretty.

Can't [and im not] hate on a beautiful snake. Pure or un-pure.

Have you ever came across an ugly snake... I haven't, they are all beautiful. The thing that bugs me is they get labeled improperly down the road.

I love Argentines and the one you have in the first set of pics is truly amazing. If we were to ever expand our collection, it would be with a pair of Argentines.

No question your snake is a stunner I love the argentin influence.
No offense, but that guys a tool, snakes just don't accidentally breed. Cohabiting is a big mistake, unless planing to breed.

aj099 · 12-15-11, 05:39 PM

also i did some temp reading`s what do you think?

first basking ledge 90 day 85 night
second basking ledge 113 day 90 at night
coldest area 83 day 79 night
hide 90 both day and night

humidity is always 55% to 60% i turn it up for shedding.

let me know your though`s

I love the look of your enclosure in that video!!

There are obviously differing opinions on feeding live and my opinion is there is nothing wrong with it as long as youre careful and always supervise. Some people prefer stunning when feeding live and this is acceptable as well. In fact, its even safer to stun the prey. My rats are tame so Ive never had an incident but I always supervise just in case.

Im only stating what has worked for me and I certainly dont want to start a debate but you dont have to apologize for feeding live. Its perfectly ok with me.

Why risk it.... And 113 is high
