i came on hoping to have conversation about bps and i ended up being afraid that i say something that all of you don’t agree with and making enemies just because i’m new.

i’ve been going to talk under boas becuase the people somehow seem to except you and don’t hold you and fault just because you are learning.

anyways, i’ve been directed to this si8ght and after this message i’ll see how many people gang up on me and if they do, i’ll disappear, but realistically we all should be aqble to talk about our opinions with a certin gang that must have become good friends deciding they will scare you or make you feel unwanted so that the new people disappear.

THAT IS MY OPINION

WHICH IN M,OST CHATS ARE ALLOW TO HAVE WITHOUT PREJUDICE!

IMHO many of the conversations in forums like this one are based on conjecture and not facts. Facts have a basis which can be backed up by referencing either X number of years of experience, education or herpetology books and/or periodicals, otherwise they’re just someone’s opinion. Don’t get me wrong, opinions are wonderful, they’re just not always based on facts even though they are often presented as though they were. On that note; many of the people who post here are nice people who offer and accept opnions without prejudice or confrontation, and can offer useful tips that can improve your husbandry. So don’t be put off by a few angry folks. Sites like these are a good resource for information.

that accutaly is the reason i was pointing it out. i’ve listened to many hyper arguements that each person bolth base on fact and sometimes the opinion. But i find that with some people the minute you get a snake or get started on this site people are just itching to tell u that "they know best" which leads to the hyper talk and long explainations that end up not helping anyone (especially the new owner who are looking for advice) with there many different opinions and facts.

i feel u either die put due to the arguing or u pick someone withwhom you agree most woth their facts and sometimes because u do that it causes animosity amongst other people.

i still TREALLY need information but i don’t want to be gutted because i’m asking something some see as unimportant or that i shouldn’t have a snake if i don’t know this

thanks for your encouragment

i just see like in the one called "little question" and two people r arguing about how one says u should have a big cage "like habitat" and another says"smaller is better" and for someone like me, not knowing alot about snakes, it intimidates me. i don’t want to have to leave because i feel i shouldn’t express whats going on.

i’m sorry i have absolutely nothing agansit u but i’m i nervous person and don’t want enemies.

and like JASON said about some knowing facts and some giving opinions, how do i know who to trust.

anyways, boabebe (if i spelled that wrong sorry)

i can’t pick it up for a week but i will try to get u some picture (if i can figure out how to get them on the computer)

sorry if my comment offened any, that certianly wasn’t my objective

i need to learn more about my snake and i have lots of questions

see ya, hopefully

i apprechiate it.

you said i could hold him after 4 days and someone else said a week?

i will try to get a picture to u, if i can get him out.

he is still very small. by the way i read how many reptiles you have,amazing, my dad is petrified of snakes and i can’t believe that they let me get one. they said i must take care of him becuase they aren’t going near it, hehehe, i’m only 13 so i take care of him but i think if i really needed help i could get some from my mom. my dad says when i open the cage to tell him becuase he is going outside. he is soo scared.

i will try ti get a picture!

everytime my dad goes to bed he asks if my door is closed and for the first couple of nights, he even ran out of his room when my moms leg brushed on his,LOL, because he thoguht it was the snake, my bay is on’y like 20" but i am worried for him, now before he goes to sleep, he comes and fittles with my door nob to make sure the door stays closed (at night we r not aloud to have doors locked,(likeedoom doors) in case of an emergency!

but like i don’t think the snake would get out of his cage and then go up a flight of stairs, into a closed bedroom door just to get to my dad!

he’s so scared it is somewhat funny, he’s a big strong man afriad of something that will do nothing to him, well nothing more than lobsters have done to him!! i think if the snake ever got out of the cage he would runscreaming from the house telling everyone to go and get it.

You should start a new thread.
