Just like anything else within the realm of herpetoculture, understanding one's snakes and their respective boundaries is a HUGE part of keeping them. It requires daily interaction & having a feel for what an animal can & cannot do at any particular point in its life, whether it is eating a huge meal, breeding, moving to a bigger enclosure, etc.

It's all about building experience! What is it going to take each of us to get from Point A (starting out @ whatever point) to Point B (more experienced)? And at what cost?

The welfare & well being of our animals is paramount...after that, it's up to us to understand so the rest can fall into place.

Just my $.02.

P.S. I live with the master of unorthodox...but not unorthodox at the expense of an animal's best interests. It's all relative.
Really I am leaving after this post.. LOL! Kara, you live with the master of unorthodox? I mainly attend the forum of the King himself RDR. Yet both the master and King do things different then The Queen (Tracy).. These three Remarkable breeders do things different. Why cant I? All my stuff is in Top notch health, They feed, they eat, they breed.. My wife even baths them? (crazy lady lol).. I guess my question is, Do I have to have 30 years of breeding, 10,000 snakes, And write a book before I can post what works for me? No Offence Kara, I love ya!!
