    But all in all I think you are a good pet owner, and you already seem open to learning from other people. I am glad that taking care of your animals is so important to you. Despite our differences, everyone here has a passion for their animals, and a strong desire to see them properly cared for.

    I must be getting to bed now. Make sure to take pics when your new cage arrives. Always fun to see snakes enjoying their new cages.

    Re: Stop talking about it.

    BTW, I don't want more reptiles as an impulsive decision. I feel completely comfortable with the five snakes I own, and I consider them manageable. And again.. I wasn't set on getting more. I was merely considering it.

    Why would people do that when they can live offmofnpublic aid? Sad it is, I'm a manager with 5 years experience working 40 hours a week and MULTIPLE 16 year old girls who are employed with my company bring home nearly double what I do with food stamps and cash assassinate....

    Now yes, I do agree before buying a animal finances and enclosures are a top priority.... I took in my third as a rescue and I wasn't prepared and it was a nightmare!

    Not trying to stir the pot again, but just out of curosity what size tank is that corn in? Eventually you will probably want to upgrade that as well, my corn is a mover and uses every bit of space he has. Just a thought.

    This thread just needs to be closed and people should really avoid posting threads like these because it only gets people within the community heated up and arguing and that doesn't do a bit of good for anybody.

    I personally have nothing against anybody in the thread, of course I don't necessarily get along with a member or two on the forums but I don't make it a point to create an issue with them.

    BOS, I think what people are honestly trying to say is by starting this thread you brought up everything that got people heated up in the last couple of weeks. That along with the big signature is probably rubbing people the wrong way and while I get you're not here to make buddies, it's better to make friends than enemies. Some of these very people you're getting into it with could help you in the future and if you ever want to sell on the forums you have to be in good standing with the reptile community.

    Not only that but if you ever wanted to do breeding loans in the future people are going to remember you by the experiences they had and then you lose out on potentially getting some nice animals. The sad but true part is that people are often remembered by the negative things they do rather than the positive. It's like my parents always taught me, do 100 good things and 1 bad things and you'll be remembered for that bad. So we should be trying to move past that whole issue and you should be trying to create a new image for yourself. I personally have nothing against you so I hope you don't take this the wrong way.
