Hate it OR Love it...

I think it would be cool to see if anything comes out. I don't mind hybrids, at all.

Straight up post about what? This?

Here's a straight up post for the both of you. Cut the crap.

Steve, you wrote the above paragraph then wrote this cocky response back to Laura.

Actually to correct you on your grammer and spelling... If you look up at the top of the window the title of the thread is "Hate it OR Love it..." the "title" of the thread implies no question at all considering the fact that there is no question mark after the title. If you look close enough there are three little periods which actually lead you into the first sentence of my post.

It was simply a question back to you.

Ok, the tittle of the thread is "hate it or love it" which implies a question and then you ask the group to refrain from any negative comments about hybrids?

Now who looks cocky and arrogant?
Refrain from the name calling in this forum or leave.

Actually this thread belongs in the Genetics, Taxonomy, Hybridization forum.....

Lets try to keep it civil..Randy

I'm not taking a side opposite yours since I think the outcome of this should prove interesting, but if you are going to correct other people's "grammer" then perhaps you shouldn't be ending a sentence with a preposition.

Why such a positive post Jen? Think trying to take cheap shots on a snake forum is going to possibly heighten your coolness factor or maybe even make people want to buy snakes from you even more? Were you the kid in highschool that got picked on everyday so now that your behind a computer screen on a snake forum you feel the need to randomly post smart remarks? So that maybe you could come off cool like a few others in the ball community that already do enough to make us ball python folks look cocky, arrogant and greedy enough. It's no wonder why theres alot of great herpers and breeders that stay out of the Ball community simply so they can avoid people like you.

I asked the group to refrain from any negative comments about hybrids because I didn't want this thread... like many to go on into a 120 page tug of war about whether the community on the forum agreed with hybrids or not. I just simply asked... and I did say please!



That's your opinion that your entitled to. You as well as others may not agree or see ANYTHING exciting about this at all... However there are a few that do!

Did you lag bolt the chip to your shoulder before or after you started this thread?

Judging by the title , you knew this thread could turn confrontational. I'm sure everyone thought it was nice that you asked them to not say anything if they didn't agree with your breeding plans. If you want them to take it seriously , you may want to not find an attack that doesn't exist. Jen's posts were far from what you claim they are. Maybe you should step back and think a bit more before responding. So far the only person here defending anything would be you from the imaginary " non hybrid " army.

Has anyone ever produced eggs from this cross?

I've seen pictures of the breeding and of a baby that was produced... There wasn't really a whole lot of information posted on the thread other than the few pictures. I'll try to dig up the thread...

Either way I'll be sure to post updates when necessary.

Straight up as in he isn't afraid to say what's on his mind. Nevermind, though...

Rick

Exactly... Hence the title of the thread hate it or love it... some people will hate it as one or two had voiced, and some will find it interesting if anything comes out of it. I'm honestly just looking forward to seeing what happens...

More so than anything I'm really looking forward to seeing if the pastel genetics would be able to carry over into the hybrid babys.

Well... we'll see what happens...

What the HELL are you talking about?!?!? I made a joke about big girls not liking tiny guys -- you know, "size matters"?
