Thrasher I totally agree with you. Constructive criticism is always more helpful. I also know that boidaddic is very passionate about his animals and does whatever is needed to make and keep them healthy. I have bought from him before and I could not have been happier with what I recieved. Why would you want to keep your discussion private? Personally I would like for it to be public so we all might learn a thing or two. I can promise you river/swamp water is very nasty. Havent heard of many caimens swimming around in spring water.

Well i guess i'll be getting a 120 gallon tank from what ddfishman says, i do realize it isnt wide enough, and that is why im upgrading the tanks, im actually thinking about getting a large sterilite if they have them big enough, because moving a 120 gallon tank could be quite a hassle, or maybe the have small 4 foot horse troughs or something. And i appreciate the constructive criticism, not the bashing, i wont mention any names though

Thanks,
Eric

At Tractor Supply Company you can get all different sized metal stock tanks. The price for the one below is about $102 for a 175 gallon.

I'm not bashing and i'm not able to give a guide because I dont have crocodilians myself.. I discus in private because I dont wanna be a part of a big discution where I have to explain myself why I think this tank isnt good..
Shore, this isnt a huge problem now, but when the animal gets bigger? will he have a good life?

Anyway, you dont see what I write in private so you cant really comment it.. thats to bad for you guys... we are keeping our discution in an adult fasion, I hope..

I think that the FAQ that was posted here earlier was exelent and I think that if you cant live up to that standard, or similar, you should not get an animal like this..

the new and improved

I found one of my lil bros old plastic toy chests while cleaning the shed and its perfect!

Beardo · Dec 5, 2005

His caimen isn't the only animal being kept improperly.....I see he has an exposed light bulb in with the Blood Python in the first pic...thats a great way to burn your animal....not to mention that heat bulbs suck the humidity out of the air and Bloods need fairly specific temps & humidity levels.

Yay for mediocrity!

boidaddic · Dec 5, 2005

Theirs a box with sphagnum moss in it in thier cage, and the humidity is fine. I've had that light in their for 9 months without a problem, since when have you known a blood to move around?

boidaddic · Dec 5, 2005

wow im tired of people jumping to conclusions....Im giving up on these forums the only reason people even come here is to scrounge around and try and find someone to start <EDIT> with, posting pics is just a waste of time when people cant appreciate them, they have to shun them and be a sarcastic <EDIT>. These are the last pics im going to post, i thought this forum was better then this. <EDIT> all and good bye.

Beardo · Dec 5, 2005

No, I just can't stand seeing animals being kept improperly/unsafely and the owners acting like its no big deal. Quit being a baby, do some research, learn how to properly care for the animals you have and then post some pics.

boidaddic · Dec 5, 2005

Dude i've been keeping this pair of bloods for 3 years! I think i know my animals well enough by now, and how to care for them. And no, im not being a baby im fed up with people not caring about others reptutations, thats not something to play with until you have actual facts, atleast 500 people visit this website everyday! People need to think before they post crap that could potentially ruine someones business/hobby, this is why im angry, so maybe you should put a bit more thought into your posts, and ask questions first then make accusations.

Official warning: Keep things civil in here. If this spins out of control suspensions may be in some of your futures. In addition, this thread will get locked.

Sequin · Dec 5, 2005

hm... you should not let the hypocrits on this site get to you so easy. I would have to agree on the light in the blood pythons cage though. I know nothing on caimans, but i think you have a beautiful collection. Perhaps people could stop being so aggressive and relax a little when giving advice.

Ruin someone's business? How would I do that by pointing out your husbandry mistakes? Do you make your living by selling animals? If not, then I don't understand your above comments.

Maybe its because this is primarily an arachnid-site...but I am constantly seeing people presenting their ignorance and negligence regarding reptiles on this forum. I get so sick of people posting pictures of Boas in screen cages, pythons w/ exposed lights in their cages, and Caimen in dirty, non-filtered tanks.....this is the kind of crap that would make any decent herper's blood boil. My intentions are not to flame people or to start arguments, and I agree that I am not always the most tactful in my responses to situations I disagree with, and the reason is that I have little to no patience for people who habitually display how NOT to own animals. I *guarantee* that if you posted those pics on a herp-oriented site (a decent one, not Kingsnake where 90% of the members are 12 year olds with one Ball Python) you would likely get a verbal reaming. I'm just telling it like it is.

you should not let the hypocrits on this site get to you so easy.

Just out of curiosity...who here is a "hypocrit"? I hope you're not referring me , and if you are perhaps a re-analyzation of what the word 'hypocrit' means is in order for you.

Maybe if you knew me, and have seen my actual set ups in person, you wouldnt be so judgemental.

Full aware of what a hypocrite is, you cannot honestly tell me you have never made a mistake with husbandry. I do not believe I used any names as examples, and I dont plan to. If you consider yourself one of the few who ruthlessly attack anyone who posts a picture, then sure I could use your name if you'd like. I agree 100% anyone who has an animal in wrong conditions needs to be informed. Maybe you could think about doing it alittle nicer, instead of blasting everyone with your superior knowledge.

And actually i do make most of my money by selling herps, and how often have you seen a blood pythons coil around a heat lamp 12 inches off the ground? I felt they were in any kind of danger i wouldnt have it in thier.

Samhain-Retic · Dec 5, 2005

David do you think maybe you could give some kind of constrictive criticism's or just try and bust the guy out like you are the be it all end all of Herp Knowledge? No one knows everything and it looks like you need taken down a peg or two and let known you don't either.

Arachnopets · Dec 5, 2005

Okay All, simmer down

Maybe no one noticed this post.

On a note to boidaddic:

One thing that eveyone here has in common is the best interest of the animals. Before jumping to the conclusion that someone is ripping on you, stop and think about what they say. It may not be in the nicest tone, but we all care about the animals we keep and this can sometimes lead to a visceral response when people feel that animals are in jepoardy.

On another note, I want to tell you a story.

When I got my first Tarantula, a rose hair btw, about 12 years ago it was kept in an arboreal critter keeper with about 1/4 inch of pink gravel. I fed it about once every 6 months by throwing about 2 dozen crickets in there at a time. If I gave it a full water dish twice a year that would be saying alot. I still have that tarantula today.

Now the point of this story is that just because the way that you keep something is working and nothing has happened to the animal doesn't mean that you've been keeping it in optimum conditions.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but any 15 year old that thinks that 2 people could handle an 18 foot Retic needs to do alot more research before they get really really hurt.... Not saying that to be mean, it's just something that needs to be said....
