I think that the biggest problem with the reptile community is the separation..... I know that KS is the biggest offender...... I think it is good that this site blocks them in a way though..... I know on my site, I will allow most sites to advertise their site for nothing...... I will be more than happy to add a link on my site for ssnakess.com free of charge ofcorse but a site like KS I will hesitate and would never OFFER to give them an ounce of space on my site...... Now if they were willing to pay I might change my mind.....LOL.....

I feel the reptile community should be as one and not go against eachother...... Differance in opinion is fine and even alittle argument is cool too, but KS takes it to the extream so why should anyone give them any slack....... The admin of this site has his reasons and I can see why he does it...... This site does not need KS links to make it any better....... I enjoy it the way it is...... But I can also see why others might think it is childish and annoying....... My point is, I have no point...... Just speaking my mind.....

Thanks for your post Greg...it's how I feel as well.

There are reasons this site and quite a few others block THAT other site. And while it maybe that some of you find it childish and annoying there ARE reasons so for now I guess the best advice is to chalk it up to a mere annoyance and go on with your normal enjoyment of the site.

It would be very nice to be able to show people who ask, what a mojave x mojave looks like, what the new "black dragon" monitor lizards look like, or point out, or quote, an old discussion that clears up snake genetics, or point out and then ridicule people doing foolish things with venomous reptiles. Just 4 things in the last few weeks I've noticed that would have been beneficial to be able to link too. Not being able to is a hinderance to the sight IMO.

Ssnakess.com has evolved much since the time that the link was blocked. The original reason was kind of petty, and doesn't serve any beneficial purpose at this time, that I can see.

Now, off to play with some turtles, caimens, monitors and fish

Oh, you are right Matt!

I think what actually happened is that it visually cut down what we could see of the link so that it would not be too overwhelmng in terms of length. It actually then would have nothing to do with what s being debated then

As for queensnake, crapsnake.com or whatever we feel like calling it, I can completely understnad the reasoning for the admin's policy. There is no need for a free plug for
crapsnake.com, though Ryan from Scales Zoo does have a good point.

Still, it is quite easy to "fill in the blanks" anyway.
It is like saying "the F word" ........ we all know what that really means right?

Again, yes, we Mod's could vote on it and all agree that it be changed, but ultimatly, this is Jeff's site and if he doesn't feel it should be changed, it's really none of our business to say otherwise..

If i complain enough and the members complain enough, i am sure he will change it.

if you guys do feel so strong about it, I'll bring it up with the other Mod's and try and get in touch with Jeff on it and see what they all have to say..

That would be nice. thanks for understanding.

"Not generally inclined to bite when gently handled" and "won't bite" are two very different things. Understanding this clearly can save your life. LOL

[cobraman]

Very good point Tanith. I was going to mention that babies CAN but rarely do bite when gently handled, but I did not want to appear to be taking the side of the person handling in that pic.

See... life does have a way of eliminating bad genes...cute little babies too.

I would take a wild guess and say that a mojave x mojave would look like...a mojave


EDIT: Just wanted to clarify that I assumed you were talking about C. scutulatus...didn't realize that you could have been talking about mojave phase ball pythons...which I have no idea whether the offspring come out looking like mojaves or some other morph.
