It's quite expensive to feed and maintain this many just to keep them as pets, especially when I can't see or touch them. If it comes down to the fact that I have to destroy them, then I will be doing so except for my 2 true pets. I will keep Spoon and Lucky and be thankful that I still have them. But it doesn't change the fact that everything I enjoyed has now been ruined and there seems to be no way to fix it or continue on.

    Re: Jen Harrison Split from Big Daddy's Wholesale Thread

    OK so I emailed Dr. Jacobsen to find out if he had acctually advised Jen that it would be ok to sell off the hatchlings and start rebuilding her collection. I received this from him today:

    Re: Jen Harrison Split from Big Daddy's Wholesale Thread

    OK Jen, care to comment?
    That is a very damaging email!
    It seems your vet DID NOT tell you it was OK to sell your animals.
    It appears they do not know what it was since this is a NEW virus.

    Was the correct vet e-mailed?

    According to her journal, a Dr Gordon was her primary contact through this whole ordeal?

    I am not sure about the journal but she said here that her vet team oked her to sell the babies.

    I hope this gets worked out. Maybe jen just misunderstood?

    Oh gosh. I feel that it would be ethical to distribute this communication from Dr. Jacobson, after first notifying Jenn, to any and all people alleged to be donating and/or selling snakes to her to help rebuild her collection.
    I also feel strongly, Jenn, you need to shut down your business and take time to process all of this. The communication from the professor is definitive; it is out of your hands now Jenn.

    Would it be possible to get the email that the vet was replying to?

    Re: Jen Harrison Split from Big Daddy's Wholesale Thread

    [QUOTE=JenHarrison;775429]Who said I'm selling donated animals? I haven't recieved anything from anyone yet, and I would never sell something that was given to me. I don't know where that came from.

    Jas, my ad was for offspring deemed clear by my vet team. [/QOUTE]
    Were they CLEARED by the vet team or did you just want to hear that they were cleared?
    Not for any of the animals that were here during the infectious period. So, I have not been selling sick animals as you say.

    Tosha, you feel that the eggs should never have been incubated. Opinions are like...well, you know that whole line.

    Wes, when everyone first shredded me for quarantining in a separate rack but same room, I was repeatedly berated and told it had to be a different room altogether (which I had to learn the hard way). Now when I decide to actually do exactly that and use a different room, I'm being told that that isn't correct either? So what about the hundreds of other keepers whose home-based breeding efforts have quarantines set up in extra rooms? I guarantee you only a handful of people that breed snakes have an entirely separate building to quarantine in. You tell me to "grow up and stop making excuses for why I'm keeping them" -- there are no excuses. I'm selling the offspring that I hadn't intended on producing and that I was told would be PERFECTLY HEALTHY. I'm not attached to these babies -- they don't even have names. [/QOUTE]

    Again, were you told in so many words that they would be perfectly healthy and if so by whom?

    [QOUTE] But the adults that I decided not to unnecessarily kill do have a lot of emotional meaning for me, and I don't in any way find that immature or an excuse.

    Since everyone here seems to have opinions, why don't you all tell me what the hell I'm supposed to do? You're the ones I have to deal with if I want to continue in this hobby, so tell me what would make you feel confident in me and my animals?
    Jen, maybe it's just the way you write.

    You've written several times in several forums that all your snake died.

    Except one or two or three.

    That all you snakes were sick.

    Except one or two or three.

    Well, I've never had a ticket, except for that time I was caught speeding and got written up.

    See why it's tough to follow what you've said?
    I may not be very smart, but what if I am?

    tasha, I'd like to see a copy of the email you sent to Dr. Jacobson please. Including headers and footers.
