Also, if they were in the USA, why the hell would you have them all together like that. Don't you know they'll bite each other and that can cause great infection? Why do you think they had so many issues from Cameroon in the yars past, because they shipped them together and they bite each other during transit. That is why my exporter has always sent them in single containers.
Show me your cleared Dec forms. Prove to me you have them in the USA. I am also curious what country you got them exported out of? Did they violate the Lacey Act being shipped from another country with orginating documents? I will get a copy of your Edec, and all other forms in a few weeks if they are here. I already put in my FOIA request today.
I'm rather curious about this photo as well, though for a different reason than justyn's.
IF these are truly fresh from the wild I can understand them needing hydration, that makes perfect sense.
What doesn't make sense to me is watering all of them at the same time in the same container.
I've never imported hots but have been involved in the importation of lots of non-venomous snakes. When they are thirsty and get that first drink of water after a long time without any water, they tend to poop and pee.
Isn't urine slighty and feces HIGHLY probable for disease and parasite transmission? Wouldn't someone who cares about his animals and is brilliant as ol tubbo says he is, take the time and care for the well being of the snakes to hydrate them INDIVIDUALLY?
I mean if one sick snake were to defecate in that tub ALL the snakes would then be exposed to whatever parasites and bacteria and who knows what else, that the sick snake had.
Is it just me or does this seem somewhat foolhardy? Would someone who really knew about anything do this? Or would this be the move of a dimwit trying to AGAIN tweak the nose of someone whom he has already done dirt to? chubs, are you just trying to make justyn mad by showing him this picture? Were you in such a hurry to get another dig in on him that you just tossed all of them in there or, as I think is the case, are you truly so STUPID that you didn't know any better?
Way to go there butterball. Either way, you've proven again what a stellar guy you are.
