Re: How to sex

You got a snake yesterday and tried to breed them today? I'm just going to stop posting at this point. Clearly you're in over your head. I don't know where to start.

he said earlier dude that he wasnt trying to breed them, your tunnel visioning on what you want to complain about, read slowly and dont just assume things

So do you normally just like picking out what people say just to prove your own point? Did you not read the post that he stated he'd just put them together to see how it goes? It's obvious that he attempted to breed them. He keeps them in separated tanks and yet they ended up together just for "investigating breeding". I don't have tunnel vision. You somehow think it's wrong of me to be upset with the lack of quarantine practices, lack of care and seemingly lack of research here.

^^^^^
arron has every right to say the above

i saw the same thing as arron did when i read this guys thread

lack of quarintine,lack of research,lack of care

you dont throw 2 snakes together to investigate what would happen when you dont have the knowledge to know whats best for the snake

the above is not an assumption on my part,its what i see in the op's posts

he shows little or no knowledge of breeding but decides to give it a go just to see what happens

if he happens to get a female of this age and size gravid the female stands a good chance of ending up dead

at the very least she will have wrecked her chances of ever producing a viable clutch in the future

imo it is you reptile reptile who have tunnel vision in this case

you seem fixated on pulling arron up

ive had heated debates with arron myself

but i also understand his passion

he can be agressive in his posts but as you get to know him you realise it stems from his passion to see all snakes kept properly

reptile reptile you chose to pick only parts of arrons post that would help proove your point

you used them out of context to proove what you were saying when in fact if you read the whole post arron makes perfect sense

Re: How to sex

Re: How to sex

Have to agree with AAron here......quarantine is a must when getting a new snake. If all the research had been done, the poster would have known that and not attempted putting 2 snakes together without proper quarantine. It is potentially harmful to do so. I'm not trying to bag on anyone and take sides, but I do feel that responsible ownership means doing your research BEFORE putting two snakes together. IMO The best thing to do here is to separate them now and hope for the best. Research in case you do end up with a gravid female and have the number of a reptile vet handy in case one or both of them end up sick.

Re: How to sex

I was merely saying to cool down there is no f*cking need to get angry right away ok i was trying to calm him down and aaron you actually are wrong to get mad at someone else's practices especially if you dont know if they knew the knowledge you were getting angry at him for neglecting anyways either way i felt you were in the wrong and you at times are a negative light on this forum. Ease up and get facts before your rage ok you make it less fun to be on this forum when you be a jerk you are a use full asset to all of us snake owners but you are self righteous and over zealous at times

i live in north cali and i got my 5 1/2 foot male dumerils for FREE from someone who was moving or some crap. They aren't rare, you can still charge 50-200$ for nice babies, but i wouldn't consider dums to be a "rare" snake. i was considering getting a female to breed at some point.

Re: How to sex

quarentine is a must with snakes, you dont know the full background of the snake you just got, you dont now if its sick or has mites and will get your other snake(s) sick. Everytime i get a new snake i quarentine them in a different room for 3 to 6 months.

and you guys need to cool down i see this on too many forums, fighting is not going to help anyone, if you dont have anything nice to say or cant give info in a nice way dont post.
