To Lauren, I totally undersatnd what you mean. I only have about 15 snakes myself. All with the intent of breeding and I prefer them to be in top shape as well. I don't think anyone would choose a defective snake over an A+ one. Basically, I bought her because I had my mind set on an adult female Hogg at the time, I loved the way she looked and Dave was asking a fair pirce. So I accepted the neck thing and bought her. If she has bred for him and in perfect health otherwise, I see no real issue with her "disability". Truly, the only problem it causes is aesthetic. I have talked to Dave multiple times about her breeding activity and everything else. He has told me over and over that the babies were healthy, everything else all normal. My theory (this is just my own THEORY) is that she may have been injured at some time in her life, who knows when, who knows how. Dropped, escape attempt, something fell/dropped on her....etc. But that is the way she is. That's how I got her, that's how Dave got her. I knew if I ever tried to resell her I would have to deal with that and that's fine. If someone else wants to share in the way I felt and take her, maybe decide not to even breed her, just as a pet, great. If not, no problem. All I can do is disclose what I know. But I paid $300 for her when she was underwieght, I have since gotten her looking great and put alot of time and care into her and am offering her for less than I originally paid. I don't know how much more fair I can be. I'm not gonna just give her away. Hell, if nobody else wants to have her, I'll breed her myself like I originally intended. She's more than able. Anyway, don't mean to make this all about one animal.
As far as multiple logon names, I really couldn't care less about that. If I could even remember my logon info, I would use my old name if I had to. It's probably blocked though. I had no bad intentions when making a new logon either. That's always my story, ain't it? I have no problem "owning up" to things in the past. Cause uh, I still never did do anything wrong. A few years ago, I was in an extremely unstable position. I made a trade. It got complicated. It ended up on here. I got pissed. More than a year ago, I made some seemingly bad decisions that were taken completely out of context and blown way out of proportion by people it had nothing to do with. It ended up on here. I got pissed. I never in my life ripped anyone off or intended to. I just reacted when people pointed their finger at me. I do have a rather "Toxic" personality/mentality. So that's how I handled it. That's the way I am. That probably will never change. I hope it doesn't. I know many people that are the same way and I respect them for it. But I have learned that that's not gonna get me anywhere in this aspect of life (the almighty BOI) so I won't present myself that way on here anymore. No big deal. This stuff is supposed to be fun. My snakes bring me more contentment and sanctuary than almost anything else in my life. Getting all pissed just makes things worse and makes me look like I have a reason to even be pissed off. it's all very confusing people, but what shall we do? I'm sick of rambling. Later.
