Now here is where I am confused.

A gift from Kyle is far and removed from intentionally picking up a gravid female for the purpose of watching babies pop out.

The thread was never even discussing gifts from Kyle.

To be quite honest, the person who inspired me the most to write that post released the queen of all gravid females back to the wild, has sent more PM messages than I can count and has been working hard to become a better garter keeper. All the while with a positive outlook, and chin up attitude. I have gladly taken that person "under my wing" and will continue to offer all I can, for as long as it is requested.

So I am very sorry if somehow you feel that you or your situation had even entered my thoughts as I typed out the initial post.
