oh no..... the old jealousy & greed-driven discussion once again rears its ugly head.

some people just dont get correlation and causation differentiated due to some well-known hypnotic effects of 6- and 7-digit-numbers followed by a dollar sign.

They dont understand how someone can make millions while not being in it primarily for the money. So they get at it with that preconceived notion that this is impossible, that someone who is monetarily successful must be in it for the money because alternatives are impossible.

With that preconceived notion deeply rooted in the belief-system, evidence to the contrary gets dismissed. (for example, if its all about the money, why is Satan still alive? A super-agressive behaviorally challenged giant snake that cannot be bred and cannot be re-homed because it cannot be tamed. Yeah, makes total economic sense to house it indefinitely instead of euthanizing it.)

I could, again, list some more indications that show that Brian is not in it for the money. But it wont convince these that already made up their mind.

Some people, for example, just cannot be convinced that Bill Gates is a good guy and not greedy. That his children will only get 10 million dollars each and that over 99.5% of the wealth of Bill and Melinda Gates will go towards charity when they die and that tens of billions (yes with a B) were already given to charity doesnt matter. For some people, facts like that just dont compute.

Hasn't the whole controversy over Satan's enclosure been played out to death last year? Why do you have to dreg it up again when it's completely off topic to this post?

How about instead of taking petty pot-shots and making wild claims about someone you've obviously never met or spoken to, why don't you write a reasonable email to the man with your concerns? No? That's right, it's much easier to bash and name-call behind an anonymous internet handle in a place he'll probably never read it. This is the kind of nasty, elitist attitude I hate about the herp community. Instead of actually trying to be helpful it's all about needing to feel superior and putting others down.

For a supposed greedy only-cares-about-profits dude, Brian spends an awful lot of time helping out new reptile keepers who have never spent a cent with him. It's one of the big reasons I get rather defensive about the bashing. I'm willing to bet none of the 'haters' would be willing to constantly bend over backwards to help people. It's much more fun to stroke their own ego I guess.

Oh, and Satan isn't even in that enclosure anymore AFAIK. Last I saw from SBtv she's in something else. I'd go look but I'm on mobile.

That being said, I've been seeing a bunch of awesome pics of people with the scaleless hatchling at Tinley. Anyone seen it for themselves yet? People seem to like it.

Scaleless snakes shed like normal snakes, but its all smooth and weird. It was described a bit like sunburn peel.

I bet out of all the people that have negative and distasteful things to say about Brian.....NONE will have the balls to even say anything to the man face to face at a show. All these internet crap talkers on here....so sad.

That man will forget more about reptiles than a lot of the ones talking crap will ever know in their lifetime.

Anyhow, I myself can't wait to see the scaleless in person!
