WTF is wrong with my BP

Hmmm... Guess 'silence speaks volumes' applies here.

I was really looking forward to this response...hopefully tomorow.

Wow. The guy has made some mistakes. He's new. and probably young. He's here to learn. Do we really need to bash him? Or should we educate him? Isn't that why this site is here?

Steve I don't think they are meaning to bash at him at all. I can understand their concern about a person not having the experience to even recognize a bit of stuck shed (or knowing how to deal with prey) already advertising that they are going to be selling morphs cheap a few months from now. It's a valid concern and I think they expressed it without being overly harsh.

Quite honestly, I'd be interested in the answer myself.

Jo, perhaps "bash" was a harsh term. However, my take on this situation is that Exotics is probably (at least in my mind) a high school aged person who is excited about his new hobby. We've seen this before. I just feel that the "3rd degree" he's received in this thread is the type of treatment that leads to a new member not wanting to post further, and possibly leaving. There's even a mention of spelling errors. Obviously, good spelling is not required for good husbandry. In my opinion, a courteous pm sent to the op about a spelling error in his sig line would be preferable to a public calling out.

This thread was about the shed anomaly on his snake's head. Its turned into an inquisition about his plans as a breeder. As far as the pre-kill methods, he posted his method for killing the mouse and asked for advice about his method, and received it. Hopefully, he will follow that advice in the future, and I think he probably will.

Sorry for stirring the pot.

The spelling error thing was a bit much really and your solution a much better one I think.

You have a point and I think it's always a good idea to reflect on these things and find the best mid-point. Calling other members out for "bashing" isn't fair to them and their concerns but also how they expressed their concerns may have been a bit on the blunt side or perceived that way by some. It's so very hard for any of us to be understood as we would like when all we have to go on is the written word.

I hope the OP does answers the concerns expressed and feels comfortable asking questions as in the end that's what we are all about around here.

You are exactly right! I am in high school and very excited about my new found hobby!. All these people on here making a big deal out of nothing. When you think about it was it really that serious. and as far as the spelling error in "Anywhere" I made that signature moments after I first joined this forum and over looked the spelling because I was so excited to have found a online community of herpers that I can give and receive helpful information to and from. So the spelling error was totally blown out of proportion. Anyway I want to thank everyone for there help

Exotics,

I am going to just put it to you straight.

If you are new, how can you claim to have all these morphs and be the BEST??? Isn't that a little over the top??

That's like saying "Hey, I am awesome and better than you, even though I don't know much about anything!!!"

You understand why people got a bit miffed?

Start out learning, start out with what you have, then grow into what you want to be SLOWLY.

You can't just jump off a cliff and claim you can fly....
