Someone's panties are in a wad! :colbert:

Anyway, nice pictures! Nice boa and Ball!

Obviously everyone is not aware of IBD and thats why we have these forums. I'm sure we have all been to reptile shows and lets face lots of species all next to each other. What kind of signal does that send to the beginner? Correcting some one and giving helpful advice is one thing but attacking the "Yanks" statement was pure comedy!

beautiful snakes! :)

Very pretty snakes, very pretty girl ! :rockon:

Ok I have read everyones responses & I have now calmed down.

Firstly, please let me apoligise.I will addmitt I can lose my rag & go way over the top & I have been totally out of order with the things I have said.. The jealousy bit made me mad..but thats no excuse...

My one & only concern here was with the snakes. I know someone who's retile collection was wiped out by IBD. This is just one of the dangers. I was simply showing concern & it defo come out the wrong way & im very very sorry.

For those of you that cant forgive then I can understand. For those of you that will I thank you & hope we can wipe the slate clean.

I appoligise endlessly to the young lady who started this thread.

:handshake

I accept your apology. I am, and have been, aware of the concerns. But I've been assured over and over of Absinthe's health. Puppy's too. If I felt like either of them was in danger, I wouldn't even consider doing the things I do. I just want to make that clear, since most people here keep assuming I'm not aware of the dangers.

I would hope, that working in a pet store and being manager of the reptile section of the store, that I would know that much about snakes. Just because I'm pretty, I'm not stupid. I'm pretty used to those kinds of assumptions though. Young, pretty girls aren't exactly people's first assumption as the manager. They'll ask me, when I offer help, if they can talk "To one of the boys who knows about snakes."

So. Can we now stop assuming that I'm an idiot? That's directed to everyone, not just one person in particular. I happen to strongly agree with everyone who has made the suggestion to PM the owner of a thread when you have a problem, instead of publicly jumping down their throat. It's a good way to avoid a fight.

Back to the photos now. Thank you to everyone who has left compliments on either the snakes or myself.

The camera I use is an old Canon Powershot camera. I'm hoping to get a much better camera soon, because pretty much the only way the Canon gets good shots is if it has natural lighting.

actually i have to disagree with you on the "pm the owner of the a thread" part.

how will the rest of us learn? i didn't realize - until this thread - that IBD was passed from boas to balls. had no idea... so if she hadn't posted this... i would have been left in the dark regarding this information.

the point of a forum is to learn... to share information... to question people and to learn the answers. of course, when it's done in friendly, non-combative manner it's much more appreciated and people are more receptive to hearing what is being said.

but... it still needs to shared publicly!

exactly.

I still disagree. There are plenty of other ways to learn than to watch someone attempt to tear someone else down. With all the reading I've done, and talking with vets and others who are big into snakes, I knew. Just because you didn't, and found out when I was being lectured, doesn't mean it was a good way to happen.

Read. People don't understand that. It's so underrated these days.
