    cdoak1017, let me explain some unwritten rules so to speak about such things.

    We have all "heard" things and read things on the Internet, that obviously does not make them true.
    For example, if someone asked what is the biggest/largest snake ever found?
    Now we all have "heard" of anywhere from 20 - 50ft or more. There are internet stories of a 200 footer.

    Now for me to just come out and answer the question on the forum with - "200 ft is the largest snake ever found.", would be irresponsible.

    The correct way would be; "fossil records show the longest snake to be 43 ft. And live photographed records show 32ft." (Don't hold me to these figures).

    Or if a totally different question were asked about breeding, you would respond by " in my experience......, or my breeding Leopard Pastel female........"

    Now going back to your original comment, you stated that death due to stress was fact. You did not say "I heard" until later in the thread when you got all defensive and rude. Had you started out with "I heard...", then that would have changed the tone of your post.

    If you still wish to stand by your statement, then the next standard of procedure is to back it up with a reference of a reputable study proving such a statement.

    This is the proper way things are done if you wish to be taken seriously.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
