    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Lets keep it civil guys. Really. I was going to watch more then one vid and take notes. But it is just to much. So lets just get one out of the way..... Please give comments. Also if you see a video there you would like to go over and have knowledge on the animal he gave bad info on... Please make a thread on it.

Now I have to look at it again but here are some key things I have seen.

Baby Ball Pythons should eat 2 to 3 times a week
Click to expand...

There is no need for this. Every 5 to 7 days is just fine. 3 times a week is power feeding IMO.

Adult Ball Pythons need to eat 2 times a week sometimes 3 times a week
Click to expand...

This is not true. Every 7 to 10 days is just fine.

If your Ball python is giving you feeding issues give it a bath
Click to expand...

What, If a ball python is not eating it is one of a few things.

1) You are caring for it wroung

2) It is breeding season and you have a male(sometimes females go off feed)

3) You are stressing the snake by holding it every other minute

Baths are good for the skin

I do not give any of my ball pythons baths. I keep the cage at the proper humidity and all is fine! Good for the skin?

They dislocate their jaw
Click to expand...
Actually they do not do this lol

Ball Pythons want to fight to eat
Click to expand...
Ball Pythons do not want to fight to eat. It is not natural how we keep them. You will not find a Ball python in the wild in a box with a person throwing live feed in the box.

Ball Pythons want the sport to kill
Click to expand...

WHAT, This is just stupid.

Old snakes are just set in their ways and young snakes can be trained
Click to expand...

They are not dogs............. I am not even sure how to comment on this. lol


Ok that is what i have seen. I am very busy and I am sure others will post too.

Really. This is only one of the vids. This could take a long time. He should just take it all down and start over lol.
 
I am not even going to do any other vids untill I see that they are trully wanting to change. If Nick trully wants to step up and change. I am all for helping.

I am going to go lay down. I do not sleep well but I can just lay down lol
 
I didn't know that when you become so obese you develop female genitalia.

Well at least I learned that from this discussion.

Note to self....dont become obese.

Wow.... That info was so blatantly off its ridiculous!

Feeding Three times a freakin week!? Do you want your ball python to become so obese that it keels over and dies because the heart is working doubletime for so long, that at a relatively young age, it just gives out? Or maybe someone feeds so much that breeding problems occur?

Not to mention the damage it does to the liver... pathetic.
 
Now he is telling people from here he knows more about reptiles then us. I am done I tried. I will not waste my time.

Saw that in response to heathers ( LadyOhh) post on the video.

i shook my head and laughed, this person truly has no idea what they are talking about.

Im fine with people LEARNING and bettering their information and trying to help others with the info they have learned, but presenting it to the public with hardly any refinement and as absolute truth with no facts to back it up is blatantly wrong.

Feeding practices ( Feeding in a seperate box or not, live or dead) are different, and are subject to personal opinion. But facts such as the rate at which you feed an animal should not be presented if you dont know the facts and the health problems that can occur.

:rolleyes:
 
Haha!

That was really good. However, I think you may have just "tainted" the beauty of Camel Toes forever. Some things are sacred.
 
I wish I had enough time and skill with movie making .. Would do what Gary is doing but with video and have experts do commentary to all his videos pointing out the tons of miss info he has on all his vids. Maybe that would help get his subscribers the info and see there Guru is an uneducated mess ....

Whats wrong with this picture? am i the only one that has problems with this?
Telling this person, without another word on when those animals get to adulthood, and having different enclosures and not talking about the health issues that could arise, that they can house them in a 40 gallon breeder, or two in a 20 gallon!? I can see if they are babies, and its not permanent, but without word on when those animals grow up and what to do when breeding age hits, i feel that the information provided is completely inappropriate to be handing out.

I can imagine, in another four years, were going to have people popping up " Muffdaddy told me that i could house them like this, he said he was an expert, but now i have a female that was too young too breed and cant pass the eggs! What should i do!" * of course, they wont type in coherent English, and 2's and U's and B4's will be used fluently!*

and then theres this.

Didnt he say in the video hes never been bitten? Hrm, i think that someone is making things up as they go along. ( check it at 50 seconds in, you should hear him say it at 57)

and then, more wrong housing info.
000f75hh
Yup, but he knows everything about reptiles!
 
Alicia if you would watch all his video, comments, and I just found out he has his own info website forum. You would be here for ever posting his miss info to others. I just hope there was away to get the word out to all the kids that think he is the greatest thing since sliced bread... Also get his videos removed from You-tube would save a lot of animals IMO.....
 
Alicia

His comments are ull of this. He has told people that keeping a Cal King and a Hondo Milk together could be donw beuase they are closly related....

He has said a coral snake is a good first hot.

I could go on and on and on....... I mean really He is this off on info. But he loves giving it out.

***He posts about other people on his forum? If so, Ah well. Sounds like the level 9 maroons and nothing that i care about. ***

The information i presented was Factual, and can be supported by others and known facts, and the screenshots that i take.

EDIT**
nevermind Craigh, i see what you said, the For Ever Spaced had me confused. Forever. got it. Noted.

yeah, but hey, screenshots are a permenant way to prove what a maroon he is. those videos can be taken down and deleted ( unless people can save them)

No its a website like this one where people go to to ask about there sick Reptiles and info on them like here. I couldn't believe it when I noticed he made a vid about the website. So you have all his bad husbandry videos and now he has a forum to spread it further just sad....

yeah, i got what you meant, i had to go back and edit my post :)
 
The very same, now do not question the all knowing all powerful Jabba, I mean Nick. He might eat you. In reality he just wants and army of 12 year olds to worship him like a God.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr8IPqJAZVI

This is a prime example of Nick's fan base, the video shows the intelligence. But really read the commentary on the right. About who he worships.
