No problem. Thanks.Originally Posted by Chuckels
Definitely did not step on any toes bud, it's just 2 different ways of doing business. Im sure you've been doing it longer than I have, and its completely up to the OP what he takes from our posts/advice. I'll also take a few things from what you said, and apply it to my breeding colonies. I don't have snakes to feed off any of my bad apples though.(Sold my collection).
I apologize if I showed any sort of hostility, I was on my way home from vacation, and 6 hours in a car makes me kinda stressed.
Yeah, everyone has a different way to do things. While I'm not as extreme as Tom, I don't tolerate bad apples much. It just doesn't make money for me, and I turn these for money and product. Even one female in a tub of three females not producing good numbers or eating pups, is bad for my bottom line. It's the difference of me making money on 10-15 rats that month, or paying out to feed a bad rat, and possibly her eating some of the profit from another rat's litter too. That's a potential $200-300 loss per month per bad female. That's what my feed bill is each week! Can't do that too often and still make money.
I do have the advantage of being able to cull my animals easily. Waaaay too many snakes....
