I have to say...I thought you were the asf gal...but you sure know your mites!

And no, I won't admit it will work for someone else. What part of "snakes do not cohabitate together in the wild" do you not understand?

snakes I have seen cohabitating in the "wild":

garter snakes
ribbon snakes
rattlesnakes
copperheads
cottonmouths

This thread is going so fast. Just to stand up for myself here, I contributed to the start of this (page 2 I believe). It said do not house males together and I believe in one tank per animal. However, that's not the answer you're looking for. Please use google and dig us up some hard facts over your personal opinion.(unless you want to email me a copy of your PHD) You're rambling like a 14 year old who is always right no matter how wrong you are.

Need I really post the dead horse again, gang?

You said yourself you do not have experience with carpets. So... I can only repeat what you type here today.

I have two carpets actually. I just don't have them housed together.

garter snakes
ribbon snakes
rattlesnakes
copperheads
cottonmouths

and none of them are boas or pythons. Good point.

And ypu're using lame insults in an attempt to make a point. Good going.

who are you to tell me I DON'T know anything?

i never said that... i merely insinuated that you shouldn't be telling ANYONE else that they don't know anything.

What waste of thread space. Just thought I'd throw my useless post on top of the pile with the others in here.

Just to keep things on topic, I'll ramble off a few things that I know -- things that can be checked up on and that are based on fact.

I know Will Bird houses multiple carpets together. I know he has years upon years of experience, professionally and on his own time. And I'd be willing to bet he's probably forgotten more about the habits and actions of carpet pythons than most of the people in this thread could possibly hope to know.

While I don't know Colin too well, I do know if there's one thing Colin knows, it's carpets. I'd bet one of the three big breeders he mentioned was Will Bird.

I can't say I know Jerhart. At all. But he seems to know his stuff, and Colin backs him up as knowing his stuff. See how that works? When someone has a good reputation, and backs someone else, chances are whoever they're backing knows what they are talking about.

I don't know who Whiffa is. From the tone of his/her posts, don't really care to. Reminds me a lot of Pee Wee Herman to be honest. When ever someone brings up a valid opposing argument, instead of making any kind of sensible post, just returns with the equivalent of "I know you are but what am I!" Hate to break it to you Whiffa, but you DON'T know everything. Regardless of what experience you may or may not have. There will always be more to know, and it really is impossible to know EVERYTHING. As far as you never witnessing any pythons or boas co-habiting in the wild, just how many have you seen in the wild? How many expeditions have you gone on that you can say with such certainty that you will NEVER find any "getting along" in the wild?

Well as long as you want to keep the thread on topic and blatantly attempt to call me out, isn't that... something like.. trolling? or against TOS? Seems like it is.

Isn't that what you've been doing this whole thread? Calling people out?
