You know Jen, what Mckinsey said was right.
I am not always easy to take, I prefer to speak very plainly so there is little room to doubt what I say.
I have said the same things to you in fewer words.
I too think you know what you need to do and are trying to admit that you know so you can.
Like bandaid removal, quick is better than slow.
I could continually grill you about who sent the pm to you, and I might if you don't tell us who, but I'd prefer not to.
I have nothing personal against you, I don't think you're a scumbag, not yet, you've just been handed the poopy end of the stick and now you need to clean up.
Work with colubrids for a couple of years, let your place clear out of whatever you had and then get back into balls if you want.
The only thing that's forever is if you send this to someone else. No one will EVER forget that you were warned.
Unfortunately, it's not just about you unless you want to completely close yourself to any reptiles going out or coming in. Period.
There is always the slight chance that even colubrids could carry this virus since we don't know exactly what it is much as boas and pythons can give it to crotalids, with whom they have very little in common.
There are just too many unknowns for you to breed anything and keep what you have.
In my opinion anyway.
So, who sent the pm?
