Connie...whatever your intentions, your posts DO come across as condescending toward rocky88. He was posting a picture of a very nice snake he'd recently received that he was pleased with. Something we all do and encourage others to do. WHY in the world does such a post need to be turned into a third-degree interrogation about his experience? Why must every little sentence written be dissected and challenged? And if you ARE so intent on getting some precise answer about exactly what he meant by a few innocent words, why not send the question in a PM, rather than (apparently!) trying to make him look bad in public because no matter how he responds, it makes him look stupid because you'll continue to challenge everything he says?

Rocky88...if you'd just ignore the initial irritant, then the thread wouldn't get all blown out of proportion and folks could continue to just enjoy your pretty new snake.
