I stole this pastel at the tampa show...

What if I didn't buy the snake from him and on his drive back up north he ran out of money cuz he didn't sell anything. I mean obviously he lossed money on it but isn't something better than nothing?

i guess our definition of kick butt care is different. ;)

I not jumping on any kinda band wagon or anything...but I just noticed your title does "sorta" sound like bragging:oops: ...I can understand where they are coming from....maybe you can get a mod to change it for you...

No I wouldn't necesarily say that...I just don't see the reason for an arguement over this. THese snakes live to be 20-30 years. What would the major life threatening problem be for these snakes to be if at all stressed by going to seperate enclosures when that is what they need. the pastel has been in its own since I got it the 2 females have been together for the past 2 weeks. They're getting they're own in a day or two. I'm doing the right thing regardless...

I apologize if the title of this thread comes off as bragging. I am not trying to brag. I'm just excited that I got it at the price that i did knowing that I didn't have much money @ the show...

Its not like I put a gun to the man's head and told him to sell me the snake for $150. so...obviously HE NEEDED the money bad. And he got it.

And I got a beautiful pastel

So you blow what you have on a snake, rather than a new tank?? Don't bite off more than you can chew...

Sure I can...they may be stressed for short while but they will be fine. Geez, I am providing kick butt care for them because I am doing whats right for them. Giving them their own enclosure. The pastel was never put in with the 2 females...They are getting they're own enclosure. Isn't that whats right? They are getting fed every 5-6 days. They have a healthy and clean enviorment. There's nothing wrong with what I'm doing. I've come on here and gotten great information from many different people. And thanks to everyone who has contributed their two cents. But for the life of god, I'm taking care of them. They will be fine. Worst case scenario they stop eating for a short while so what.

My definition for " kick butt care" is doing whats right for them no matter WHAT. If I have to clean out a tub or something, i pull out a seperate tub to put one in. Your mentality on the consequences is not at the place it should be. A "Worst case scenario" shouldn't happen if you are providing "kick butt care".


This sounds like an impulse buy to me...

:confuzd:

How would you know? Maybe he just wanted to sell it. Maybe he wanted to make rack room.

Most breeders make a living off of something else other than snakes, you know...

Alright folks...I think that's enough picking on others. We all make impulse buys, at least occassionally. We all get excited about better-than-expected deals. And we're always grateful when we hear that snakes housed together are getting their own homes....there's really no reason to keep being so critical.
