He shouldn't be feeding them rosy reds. That should tell you something.

[ssssnakeluvr]

definitely concinnus.... infernalis have distinct stripes on the sides

Well, sure they closely resemble them.

Good lookin' little guys though.

Oh, cause there is a thread about it that makes it a fact

[RedSidedSPR]

No. I'm with ya. I'm paranoid about them, and they can carry parasites, and they do have thiamnaise, but i don't know just how bad they really are... maybe as a staple.

I've often wondered how accurate the info on rosy reds was, too. Sly ate nothing but rosy reds for several months if not longer before I switched him to pinkies 9 years ago. At the time they were considered safe... came here a few years later and learned that they're now not considered safe. I'm sure they're still on quite a few care sheets as being acceptable, so we can't totally bash someone for feeding them.

I don't doubt theres truth to it and I try not to feed them. My adult still needs them, and the thing is before I learned, he ate nothing but for 7 months. No problems... still try not to.
