Dont listen to what anybody says on this forum

That's a a helluva burden you're placing on Jeff and Scott.
Just sayin'...

And just how often are they here to give advice anyway? Seems the only times they show up is when they want to sell something. Well, not always, but often that's the case, and that's understandable.

Do all of yourselves a favor and dont listen to what anybody says on this forum.the only two people I will vouch for is Jeffy and Scott.

So you pick out two people who, whilst no doubt knowledgeable, rarely share anything on this forum? I find your post rather odd.

Should have read to the end of the thread instead of just the first couple of pages, Richard already voiced my thoughts.

While both of them are very knowledgeable no one is perfect. I know that neither one of them fully understands genetics, though no one does. If you want to take what they say as the only truth go for it but the ignorance in your original post is ridiculous. I really hope that you are a child otherwise you need to go back to school and learn how to act in a public setting...

No need to be so harsh. Snakeman has been around a while. He's a respectable member. I just thought his post a bit insulting is all. Took me a bit by surprise too.

I read all posts and extrapolate what I need, but I certainly don't take it as the gospel. I compare it to other posts where members give accounts from their experiences and go from there.

Doesn't matter... Until he posts up what everyone else on this forum has said/done to deserve being grouped together then I have no respect for him or anything else he has to say

I greatly respect both Jeff and Scott, but as the saying goes, "asking a breeder for veterinary advice is like asking a pimp about gynecology." The whole point of a forum is to pool ideas and experiences. Together we have more experience than any individual. Yes, some of the advice doled out can be questionable, and some of the questions can be inane, but a forum is not a handbook - it's not automatically canon. ANY forum post from ANYONE should be taken with a grain of salt, at least until you figure out who knows their stuff and who doesn't.

Quite a sweeping opinionated statement to kick this off ... Guess I'll stop giving advice, trying to educate shops and sell my non-tilapia eating snakes ... Sorry, but a thinking active group is more likely to generate better/more current advice and husbandry trends than people who are not party to giving advice in the first place. If I was to follow this train of thought I'd be hanging on the gospel of the most well known garter breeder in my country and would be feeding cat food and crossing infernalis with tetrataenia ...
