ECLARK - mites

hey everyone. i think we might want to think to move this to the quarentine section. i know most of you will say its a bad idea because we are "concerned" and nothing is going on here that is "bad", but obviously, there are many situations in this thread that are making people uncomfortable to contribute. i am sure Ed has read this thread and will most likely take it into consideration. we have all stated our opinions. lets not try to make this thread ugly... i love this website and im proud to be part of this community, so on that note, lets all take out our bp, hug them, and remember why we joined this website :D

The staff has discussed this already and believe the thread should be left as is. Given the general nature of these sorts of threads, this one is actually rather tame...and we'd rather give Ed every possible chance to respond without mucking around with the original thread. While it may not be entirely pleasant...it IS relevant to BP.net as a whole.

ok understood-just thought it would be an option for those who get sucked into these thing too easily :P

night everyone

I think it is important to leave it where it is so others can see.

I was just stating that if Adams animals had a mite(whitch they dont) they would get just as much attention as Eds are. Adam isn't better than Ed. And Ed isn't better than Adam. We were all created equal.

I should have used breeders in general. But Talk to Matt about it, he brought it up.

No problem Adam, I wont use your name again in this thread.

Adam's quarantine and business model is worlds better. I also have no doubt that Adam would have bent over backwards to make sure that his customer had satisfactory resolution, which Ed has not done, according to April. Just saying.

Quality vs. Quantity, Justin.

Quarantine isn't in place because for many resellers there isn't time to do it. Anyone with a fast-moving inventory is something to be cautious of.

BINGO!!

I'm not surprised to hear he doesn't have quarantine procedures in place.

I think it's a little unfair to Adam to be throwing his name around in this thread as he has stated he does not wish to be involved in this, but I do believe that those who wish to sell their snakes should properly quarantine their snakes. As this thread will never in any way affect my collection I don't wish to get involved in the specifics of it, but I do think this is a big deal seeing as there are boas in the collection we are talking about so those who say that they are not worried should think again about the possible problems caused by this. As there are no dead snakes yet, I'm not really sure what type of compensation some are calling for, but that's between the parties involved. Also seeing as this has not become too terribly lynch mob-like I don't see too much of a problem with this thread remaining unlocked, although I do believe that since there has been no response that speaks worlds, and this issue although unresolved has been properly aired out.
