Firstly, I will apologize to my friends and members of this forum for not pm'ing. I got pretty upset with a debate with Nett on another site. It should have never flowed over here..
It came down to a question that I asked about her milk snake female eatting its breeding male.. I asked Nett how did that happen? Nett with her 17 years of procalimed professional expieriance simple replied back that a Milk is a MIlk like a King is a King.. What kind of answer is that? Who knows, and there was no further explaination given.. I asked why Nett never bothered to pay attention to what was going and I said that was neglectful.. Thats when the fun started.. Apparently it is acceptable for a female milk to eat its breedeing partner and there is nothing anyone can do about this.
uke01: Nett made it clear that this was completely normal behaivour while breeding these animals.
uke01: Sort of blows the personal responsibilty out of the window while caring for the animals doesn't it? But that is my opinion and a few others opinions as well. Really very similair to the cohabitation debate that continues to flair up from time to time. I guess I might be wrong for actually challenging the ethics of a "professional" breeder..
Oh well, I suppose if the general concensous is that it is ok for a female milk or king to eat its mate while breeding, then I will publicly apologize to Nett.. If its not Ok, and we should really pay attention to our animals
no matter how many breeding pairs we have
I will just sit with a smug little smile , and a told you so , grin...
Want to read the thread that had me so worked up? Kick me a PM and I will gladly provide it to you.. You can tell in the last response I was starting to get rather angry( here and of course where the original thread was posted and that got the better of me.. I have no problem admitting that eithier..
