A tuna????? Please!!!! No offense meant Kara, and I completely understand where you are coming from in that it is good for the long time keepers to help out, but this forum and all it's threads (from what I've read) seems to be ran by newbie keepers. Yourself excluded given what company you are from. But what got me involved in this thread was yes because someone I know (in my opinion) was being attacked based on an uneducated opinion on the Reticulted python species. That is why I chose to speak up. I also posted on several other threads so it was not like I came here just to bite back and defend. I was also 100% unaware that others would be signing up and posting but did comment after what they had said because it was completely correct. I'm not here as a "chest beater" or whatever. I found it strange that not one person on this forum asked me ANYTHING about what I said which was 100%correct. But yet they want to learn? How can you learn if you don't ask??????

I also have no problem about helping a new keeper or species specific keepers learn somthing new. That's the way it should be done. It just really irritated me to be sent a link "to this mess" and see what people were saying. I apologize if it came off harsh but do not take back anything I said.

If you feel that you or any other mod should ban me then that's fine. I understand. But maybe others should considering knowing the species before offering up advice or an opinion on it. This thread very well could have freaked out a new Retic keeper from what was said by some of the posters.
