Big snakes, small enclosures.

[Patrick Long]

So a chimpanzee that is stuffed in a box for three years of its life, is perfectly ok once it goes somewhere else, and eats poops and acts normal?

Im just not getting your reasoning here.

C'mon Patrick, that's Apples and Oranges and you know it.

Is it really though?


Im not sayin this person is right or this person is wrong, because I have NEVER been to his place.

Im just sayin...

These are valid points. From valid potential customers.

Everyone is a potential customer....so therefore every question should be answered right?

The condition your animal arrives in reflects the conditions it lived in. If the snake, eats, poops, and acts normal with no parasites or illnesses then what else can you ask for?

Oh? Some snakes handle nastier conditions better than others, species wise. It doesn't necessarily have to contain external parasites to have lived in a nasty condition. I've seen beautiful snakes come from the most horrid conditions, eat upon arrival, and act normal. That point remains invalid.

Actually, no.

Some are just to bait you.

Some are from competitors.

Some are just stupid.

Some are from people you don't care enough about to answer.

Some are just not worth the time to ask given the asker or the question itself and what it is truly meant to elicit.

I imagine dutch is in school but anyone else who cared could have called Brian, be they for or against this current tangent on keeping big snakes in small tubs.

But then, to do that, would either prove one wrong or right and put an end to this thrilling and intellectually stimulating ongoing activity in perpetuating mountains out of molehills.

Pattimuss, there ain't no fair this side of heaven and I don't believe in that myself soooooo, I don't think you'll be finding it.

If this was ANYOTHER breeder in question...they would have been slammed for any little minor inconsistency

Am I the only one here seeing a Admin mock a member?

I was posting as a member of this forum, I am allowed to have my own opinion and participate as a member as well. And I did find his reasoning rather amusing. Slay me for being human.

This is true.

If you choose to not do business with a breeder for any reason. I understand that 100%. We all have standards that we like to uphold when we give our business to someone. These standards can range for everyone from the way the animals are fed to the way they are house or shipped.

Your perfectly entitled to do business with those breeders you choose. However to demand that a businessman come on our forums and justify themselves to anyone is not only very bold but speaks of an ego that needs to be checked.

Who are we to approach any professional full time business man from aspect of the industry and demand that they plead their case with us.

If you have questions about how a breeder operates call them, talk with them, and make your decision on whether you wish to do business with them.

When did the internet forums become the scale on which all breeders are weighed.

I understand the concerns that have been voiced here. They are valid to each of you.

I definetaly agree that if a customer has those questions, that is it perfectly fine to call up and discuss them. The fact of the matter is, Brian isnt going to lose customers, or lose business because of people bashing him on a forum. Really...I just think people like to argue. Its what happens on forums....everyone has wide ranges of opinions. If you arent satisfied with how he runs things, don't purchase anything from him..if you are happy, become or stay a customer. Simple as that, nothing is going to change
