A disturbing trend, really disturbing

[crzy_kevo]

i completely agree with all of you and yes i have only been caring for garter for jsut over a month but i have also been fascinated by reptile and snakes especially and am willing to learn more and have learned so much about garters through this forum that i could have never learned from just wikipedia or anywhere else and i am willing to take on the responsibilities of the baby garter snakes that my gravid female will have as well as making sure they are in good health before releasing them into the wild
and i am only going to keep 2 of the male babies for when i start breeding in a couple of years

Kevin, no one is targeting you here, and I'm sorry if you feel it was.

This is a universal issue, it affects all of us.

And one really important thing that many of us do not even realize, every day hundreds of non registered guests troll our forum for information.

Just click the quick links, scroll down to "who's online" and click that

At any given moment there is way more guests than users reading our posts.

So we need to be very mindful of the messages we send the world here.

When we hear of a 7 year old having baby snakes in a house where the parents don't even like snakes, it scares me for the welfare of those babies.

It is our responsible duty to politely ask them to release those babies
