Message For Everyone, That Ive Gotten Off To A Bad Start With

Hello everyone, i would just like to say that im deeply sorry for the bad language, and the pictures on my website. I have made a promise to myself to keep my cool, and all the pictures of snakes that arent mine have been taken down, and the site will soon be taken down also... I will most likely delete all of my youtube videos, and start over, doing research before i say anything, and be a lot more professional, no bikini girls on my wall :) So i would like to just take this time to hopefully get a new start with everyone here on ball-python dot net. I know this is a big community full of pros, so i wan't to learn from all of you as much as i can :) So let me know if your willing to get off to a new start.... Even if you don't i will understand.

Thankyou for your time,
Brandon

you still got that boa pic on your site

Anyone who is willing to admit a wrong, apologize sincerely, and make an effort to grow and change and learn....has got a very bright future ahead of them. :gj: I'll be looking forward to future videos.

That boa, is actually my boa rambo :)

I am very proud of you for admitting that you were wrong. As JLC stated, that is off to a very good start.

You guys have the desire, just have to fine tune the rest. You are starting off at an early age and that is a big plus.

You have quite a few people looking at your vids and asking you questions, if you have the knowledge to answer them correctly and not be so misleading you can grow a nice rep with the reptile world and have some really nice babies in the future to show for it.

I am sorry to you for having a negative post about you.....that is not what I want either. After looking over your site and seeing some of your vids I just was bent outta shape over what all I had seen and read, like most others I would guess. I wouldnt delete your site and all, just take down the stuff that isnt yours and do away with your caresheet. There are plenty of caresheets around for people to look over. Get some experience under your belts and then write up a care sheet that isnt a combo of many others rolled into one with some opinions added in.

I think the donate button is a crazy idea, but one that could actually work.......LOL Of course your attitude will determine the outcome of it. ;)

Hang in there, take the advice as needed and go with the flow here. When Mike emails me back about the site being down now I will explain all of this to him and see if he will give you this one without legal action. Just dont let it happen again. I am friends with some of these people, they live right down the street from me, I WILL go tell them if you use the pics again. This was your one and only free shot.....no more after this one, ok?

Raise that spider up nice, he is a wonderfully patterned one. Hang in there and learn much!

Sometimes it is just as easy to run and hide when you have hurt someone or made a mistake. Especially when it is people you don't even know. I'm glad that you have chosen to own up to your short comings. And are attempting to make things right. It is times like these that build character. Hopefully the people that you have offended and upset will also take this time to work on their own character and forgive you. :gj:

that took guts! be sure to ask questions and people will answer. im new here myself....been around maybe a month...and everyone here is really helpful with giving advice and critisim. you have to take the critisim sometimes and use it to improve yourself.

I believe admitting when you are wrong is a great step.

Keep in mind that there is nothing wrong with constructive criticism, this will only help you learn and grow in this hobby. ;)

If you are genuine in wanting to take this opportunity to learn from those who came before you, I can see us laughing about your rocky start in a few years!

Glad to see you took the first step! That shows a level of maturity! :D
