Big snakes, small enclosures.

One last thing, I agree nobody has called or e-mailed me with concerns. If you need answers come to me, not to a forum to try to make me look bad. I don't check these forums everyday, the only way that I knew about this is several people contacted me about it. I will never avoid a question or not live up to my responsibility. I make mistakes all the time. I have killed animals by accident, I'm not perfect and never say that I am. I also open my collection to everyone to watch on video, but also to anyone that visits. I had 40 people over on saturday, they looked at every cage they wanted too. I don't keep secrets, so if you want to know contact me! Give me that respect. bhb@comcast.net I'll always be happy to answer your concerns, Brian(BHB)

Wow I honestly didn't expect Brian to post, that said, he shouldn't have had to post.

What I realized just a moment ago, which is hilarious to me, is that people were arguing about the Monitor's cage size and relating that to buying from Brian, when that Monitor (a Savannah Monitor if I remember right) was Brian's pet. And what's funnier is that if the OP would have called / E-mailed Brian in the first place (or anyone of us for that matter) we'd know that he doesn't even have the animal any longer.

Funny no?

Scrape them off and move on Brian. I can tell you that it most definitely is NOT worth it. The only way to win this game is to not play!!! Let them kick around someone else for a while.

Its obvious that the Admins here are all buddy buddy with Brian, so why wouldnt they "be happy with the quality of their animals".

Btw, Patrick, I am not buddy/buddy with Brian, as you seem to believe. I've had one phone conversation with him about HR669 and to date, have not purchased any animals from him. I hope to one day, but I haven't yet.

Other than that, I've only talked to him at shows, and even that was briefly.

I participated in this thread, because I can't believe how quickly people want to draw and quarter the man. Because as an observer, that's what I see.

I see it. Any other member would have been nailed with infractions for it. Correct? They would have also been nailed with negative reps.

For the same question I asked with a laughing smilie? Uh...no, they wouldn't have. If that were true, Wes would be infracted right on out of here by now with some of his posts (no offense to Wes).

You both know that as a staff we are as fair if not more fair than any other internet forum out there.

Next time I'll remember that you guys are a little thin skinned when I compose my posts to you.

Actually, no. I'd caught infractions for less. I've been asked to remove things from my signatures, been disqualified from photo contests, the list goes on and on...and for what? If you believe you're more fair than any other internet forum...maybe you should hang out on more forums.

As for the thin skinned comment. It seems we're not the only ones That could be taken as more bear baiting, no? You and your staff seem to flip things around on other members, myself included. Call things bear baiting, poking sticks, etc... When you claim to be a fair forum. What about the staff themselves. From what I've seen with a select few out of the staff, I've seen the opposite behavior...

Anyone done throwing poo around? As littleindiangirl once told me "Take it to PM".

Or you could always utilize the ignore feature in your UserCP.

Lets all take a step back for just a second..

Take a deep breath and think long and hard before jumping off this ledge..

The staff doesn't give infractions lightly by any means. It may seem this way but please take my word for it, infractions are not a haphazard decision.

So before anyone continues down this path lets all take a long slow look at what we may be implying when it comes to staff or Admin.

I've seen otherwise, as have other members. Some have spoken up in this thread concerning that topic on staff vs. members...

OK I give this about five, four three, two.......
