First time feeding Baby a cornished game hen

[MGOBLUE]

I don't believe anyone was attacking anyone in this thread. I do think the poster of this thread is taking everything a littttttle to seriously.


Relaxxxxxxx, if you are comfortable with how you are raising your snakes who cares what others think....although it is nice to get praises =]

you are correct. I also think that Baby is small for his age. He is a male, which makes him smaller than a female would be, but I DO agree with you whole heartedly. This is why I have been increasing his feeding times and variety of food/ prey. I started this post because Baby has never eaten anything that wasn`t live. I thought it was a good thing that he took a f/t prey item so eagerly. also he does love his perch when he is in his enclosure, But he will be gaining extra weight since I have decided to increase his food and the amount of time in between feedings, which leads to the zoo like enclosure I am planning.

thank you for your input. yes I do think I take things a little too seriously. I am, after all putting a little of what I do out there for other people to read. I am very comfortable with the way I raise ALL of my pets. Put it this way, you wouldn`t like other people telling you that what you have been doing for the past 7 years is wrong, would you...
I tend to take it to heart. I am new in this forum and have met a few people that I do like and enjoy having conversations with. I would like to be liked...as anyone would.

Didn't mean to come across rude, I was just joking because of the other person's post about it being stupid to try to mimic any sort of natural habitat. Species do adapt, but more often than not, its best not to assume they will just get used to things. I am not referring to your snake, just animals in general.

That is why I said this thread has gone way to far. I enjoy the debates, but I do tend to take things to heart. I have been put off by forums because of some rude people, so that is why I am a lot on the defensive. Lets just be freinds and maybe in the future, we all can find ways to debate without offending anyone... Best wishes. I hope we can have some pleasent conversations in the future.

Hold up

I didnt say it was stupid to mimic natural habitats

I was saying its stupid to treat the animal as if it was in the wild (Example.... not giving it branches because it is supose to be a ground snake....)


See what I mean?

I think you misinterpreted what I said (and as 5snakes said, its better to have a peaveful respectful conversation, so lets keep it that way please)

I completely agree, I would tend to be on the offensive as well if people were attacking my methods. As long as the snakes are eating well, shedding well, in good health then I wouldn't change a thing. Just got to remember no matter what the situation in life there will always be haters, just brush em off and keep movin forward

I couldn`t agree more. Nice to meet you, MGOBLUE. so let us consider this thread way off the topic. IAs I said I just though the story I had to tell when I started this thread could be interesting to some readers. This is why we join forums,no? to tell about own different experiences to other reptile keepers. At least that is what I thought.... SO, on to new things, yes?... Lets!
