Shocking/Funny

Dude, I just don't understand you.
I've seen and read many of the posts/arguements you've started in the past and have bitten my tongue because I try to stay away from drama.
But honestly, you are acting a bit like a child. First of all, can you stop complaining about your "rep points" on here? Seriously? Do you honestly care that much about what a bunch of strangers on an online forum have to think of your rep? Does it have an effect on your day to day life? I know I sure as hell don't walk around thinking "man, I need to get my rep on that forum up." Stop worrying about things you have no control over, it's just an online forum.

Second, I don't understand why you keep even asking questions on here because if you don't get a reply in a timely manner or an answer that you want to hear, you argue and just proclaim that you are going to do what works best for you. If this is the attitude you are going to take, than don't waste your time asking people for help. I've seen people give you PLENTY of GOOD advice on how to care for your pets and you still stubbornly argue with them and accuse them of being the negative ones.

Third, i have completely gotten confused with the topic of this particular post. You went from asking a question to talking about pets vs hobbies and "spammers". What?
From my perspective, there's no difference in the two terms hobbies and pets. Ball pythons are my hobby and my snakes are my pets. The manner of keeping them doesn't change. They are given the same care and husbandry as they would if they were pets or breeding animals. The advice is relatively the same too. By breeding your animals, you are essentially a "breeder" thus meaning you are deeper into the hobby than the average pet owner. That really shouldn't matter when seeking advice on here. This is a forum for all reptile keepers, from the big breeders to the first time owners. Everyone receives the same advice and same intial respect when joining. If you don't have the courtesy to show respect to those more experienced keepers that are willing to give you advice, than don't expect it back.

I'm not even going to attempt to address the "spammers" you are talking about because I honestly don't know what you mean.

Good luck with your future breeding endeavors. If you are serious about receiving and implementing the help others are willing to give you, than I encourage you to continue to use this forum in a respectful manner. If you are going to continue having the attitude you do towards others on here and are going to continue to stir up trouble when you don't get what you want or hear what you want, than maybe this forum isn't the best place for you.

I think most of the hostility, especially the comments that we have nothing positive to say, goes back from your first few posts when you joined this form. To be blunt, from what I've seen the animals are not kept in the best condition that they do be. Nor do you appear to be open to suggestions or teachings about husbandry or breeding. That said, there has been some improvement in your husbandry. If you truly care for your animals that should be your focus. I know you are excited for your female, and that you think she is het for something. I very much want to appeal to your sense of responsibility here since it seems more like you want to prove us wrong than provide proper care for your animal. Focus on making their homes and their lives the absolute best, learn as much as you can about this hobby and the working of genetics. Then will be the time to start branching out. It's not too late to begin to provide good, proper husbandry to these animals. As of now your animals are suffering, but it can be fixed. You owe it to yourself to do so and they deserve it.
