How long to wait to breed after first breeding?

What I got from you wrote is that you are insecure in regards to view points which are not precisely aligned with your own. That's what I got. Particularly your usage of caps with "COMMON SENSE and EXPERIENCE and YOU" which is considered yelling. Even members who are not moderators know this.

Not all breeders out there espouse Deborah's views. If you find that unsettling then please consider skipping over future posts of mine as I will not vet links prior to pasting them in order to ensure your safe space remains unviolated. I'm not your yes man. Feel free to ban me now if you find this unacceptable.

Not trying to "get involved in a 'fight'", but I will interject a few things from a neutral point of view.

First, I don't think Deborah was trying to belittle, demean or discredit anything you posted... the problem with forums, and trying to "chat" online like this, is there is no timbre possible, so while I read her post one way, you obviously took it a different way. I don't think she meant it the way you received it.

Second, and related to the point above, while CAPS can be used as yelling, it is commonly understood that if you are only capitalizing one or two words, it is more for emphasis, and not to "yell". There is a difference between typing "NEVER do that" (adding emphasis to the single word never) and typing "NEVER DO THAT" which is more of what I read as yelling. The rule of thumb I have tried my best to use when conversing online, is if it can be read two different ways, they USUALLY meant it the way that was non-offensive. (again, emphasis... not yelling). The logic behind this mentality, is that you and I don't actually know each other. If I want to be offensive, I can hide behind my firewall of anonymity and be as offensive as I want... so anything that is "borderline" is usually me misreading something. Just my .02¢

Back on topic, I knew a lady who had 1.1 normal ball pythons in the same tank year-round. Her female would lay eggs every year, she would take them to the local reptile shop and sell them for $5-10 per egg... and walk away. Does that mean that I, personally, would do that? Nope... but I'm not saying it's not totally possible.
