Lock them up..

What was "such a strong statement?"... Speaking why I felt some breeders breed babies at a young age? Your right I have no experience in breeding and I have listened to reptile radio. Just because he hasnt had one die on him doesnt mean theres not a risk... Just like theirs a risk that if jen breeds her snake too soon without long enough quarantine she could get sick BPs... To me its just very hypocritical to say its OK to take the risk here... but its no OK to take it there... Its just my opinion and im sure to all you it means nothing so whats the big deal? Jen asked why breeders do it and I offered a very plausable statement why some breeders do it. I never stated that this is why Jas did it... just throwing the idea out there.

Jas you laugh and say "im all about the money" but what other reasons would make you want to take the risk? If your saying it has no effect on your business or whatever why not be on the safe side and wait a year to breed the males? I dont have a problem with you breeding them early and like you said if it works then it works... After reading many care sheets on BP breeding, they all seem to offer that males need to be atleast 1 yr old... So JAS is a pioneer for straying from the norm and coming up with new methods to breeding... but im the bad guy when I stray from the norm and offer advice to use larger tubs? I guess I just dont see the difference.

Josh, no one has called you a "bad guy" in any disagreements with you. You however have lowered yourself to calling people who disagree with you ignorant - staff members no less, and in this thread, you've called John sketchy.

I haven't seen a post yet where anyone said you were a bad guy for using a larger tub. You just don't like being disagreed with, and you get all hot under the collar about it.

If you want to know the difference in the respect level between you and John? Experience and earned credibility.

As for John's motives being money driven as you suggest, what's his website address showing his available animals, because I can't find it. How many ads have you ever seen placed by John selling his animals? I personally have only seen a handful of ads from John in the past year.

John holds onto far more animals than he sells, and until you sit down and pick up the phone and call John and talk with him, don't presume to know his motives.
