I have officially been bitten by the snake bug!

[Apiratenamedjohn]

I was speaking hypothetically since you were making the argument that not matching the animal's native environment in the best way possible was due to the limitations of assigned human needs. You used human comfort several times as a comparison for a snake's needs in your discussion with El-Ziggy and yes, using prisoners exercises to illustrate handling still counts as a comparison otherwise why use that analogy? You often, including previous posts, used the terms "bioactive" and "best care' together hence the given impression that bioative was the standard for "best possible care". It seemed relative to the conversation since your primary argument here has been priority in mimicking the wild. However I see you were taking everything literally and personally so I apologize.


So no, I was not accusing you of anything as I made an effort to use the terms "You give the impression", "you could" "implying" "comes across as." to avoid accusation. No need to get defensive and talk down by suggesting I'm somehow subconsciously inferior by projecting myself onto you. I was open to having a discussion with you but if this is how you want the last word then it's best to put you on ignore and move on before the thread keeps getting derailed.


Have a great day!

Yes i made that argument and it is 100% true. Human needs get in the way of us immitating nature with 100% accuracy.
Analogies are used to illustrate a point by comparison. Not saying that one is the exact same as the other. But that they share commonalities enough to get the point acrossed. It seems like you got the point but are wanting to argue semantics.

As bioactive is closer to nature than aspen. i would say that it is a step in the right direction in comparison for pet ownership. But i did not disparage aspen. Everything has a time and place.

Hahaha seriously? Yeah my accused "sense of superiority and achievement" is so much different from asking if you were confusing it with a sense of inferiority on your own part. Lol call the kettle black again. Bahaha

And it seems like i am having decent discussions with others... just not you.
