I'd say YOU need to back off - you obviously have personal beefs with ilovemypets and this IS NOT the place to air them.

thanks rob but its ok, hes 1 of those guys that would shoot u in the bk and not worth wasting your time replying to him tbh, i mean i value every ones friendship on here to the highest level and its really not worth running the forum down becoz of 1 fool that likes to cause trouble.

its people like him that makes some forums unbearable but the best thing to do is to just ignore him and i wish that i could listen to my own advice and not bothered to reply to him at all, why should i lower myself for someone else, infact why should anyone lower themselves for another unless its to save a life of course

No worries - i have noticed that he rarely posts and that when he does he always seems to be digging at you - you're right tho, best to just ignore.

hahahahahahaha yeah i do dig at him as im on other forums hes been on when he first started keeping snakes an saw first hand how he used to ignore others advice then wonder why things went wrong, and kept having to ask for new advice because of the screw ups. he told us he decided not to get a hoggie due the fact his partner was expecting an it was all about the safety when baby is born, yet he gets a burm...

A) you said "used to" - we all made mistakes when we started out (unless of course you are perfect)
B) i also wouldnt have a venomous snake in the house with children, my opinion, but would have no problem with a large snake in the house with children.
C) as stated before this forum is not the place for constantly hassling people just cos youknow them from somewhere else - if you have nothing constructive to say then say nothing.

all im gunna say rob is that its funny how someone thinks they can judge a person or situation when they dont live that persons life or have even met the person nor are they in the situation that the specific person is in

@ilovemypets Yea waste of time to bother with these kids, hes only on here to bother you. I really don't see why he cares anyways? its not his baby that's going to be in the house with the Burm.. Anyways id get the Burm off the sand though lol thats the only valid point he made that i could see, the rest were just personal attacks.

[ilovemypets1988]

well hes off the sand now and onto beech chips, the sand was quite literally a quick decision as i had someone unexpectedly call at the door who is that affraid of snakes that they will faint if they saw 1 in my hands, they dont mind so much when they are in there vivs, and trying to be considerate, i just put the snake into the viv with the sand for the 15 minutes that the visit lasted, then the sand was changed with beech chips, which he is on now and has already filled his water bowl full of them lol typical python i suppose.

as for the viv itself, im fully aware of the fact that its way too small for him but im in the process of building his viv, ive got the wood, i just need to cut it and screw it together and then get the sliding glass for the front and the runners for the glass to go onto in the first place, ive also got sealant, its not perfect stuff but it will be suffice to do the job needed.

once the viv has actually been made, it wont take me long to get hold of the general criteria for the burm, i.e. heat lamp fixings, thermometers and so on.

i wont need hides as i will be making corner hides that face the back wall of the viv for him to feel extra secure within his home, which should make for a happy snake, the heat lamp will be directly above 1 of his hides and give him central heating within it lol.

Man absolutely gorgeous burm... I'm about ready for another snake, having a hard time choosing between a coastal carpet from the local breeder here, an albino burm, or a female RTB to go with my male... too many damn choices!

And yes, best to ignore the guy harassing you, and even though you may have made mistakes at least you are on here trying to learn and correct them.

i kind of have to be biased and say get an albino burm, thats if your ready to take on the shear size of course, they have beautiful colouring and markings and when fully grown are as tame as a puppy sleeping.

if you can get a high orange burm (have a look on google images and you will see exactly why i suggested this colouring specifically).

i truelly believe that everyone whos had corns, boas and small pythons has gotta try to own or even just visit a friend whos got a burm and get a feel for there majestic nature and beautiful markings and so on, as you cant really believe the clarity until you see them in person.

as for jerks on here acting like children, if they cant act like civilized human beings then i fear for there animals, people are here to learn and childish attitudes turn those who needs help away, which aint gd in any way, shape or form. i have had several breeders of snakes and also had the rspca (animal welfare - council reasons) and also herp specialists come over and take a look at my snakes and they ALL agreed with the fact that they are some of the best conditioned reptiles they have seen and have actually congratulated me on supplying these stunning animals with homes within a small area.

ive had to compromise alot to have them and therefore they are very well looked after, as you can all tell from the pictures of them on here, i love my animals and would never neglect them intentionally or course them too much stress.

sorry for the long winded reply
