i wasnt talking about the way the people live. i was talking about the way the eggs were kept. good god read what people write properly, and im not against cf altogether. im against the conditions the eggs are hatched in and the snakes that are not returned to the wild. another thing. a lot of the big breeders breed out there because its one big heat mat, so practically no costs in getting them.
CAN WE NOW LET THIS DIE A DEATH BECAUSE ITS REALLY ANNOYING.
Im not a stupid wee teen ager, jeez wish i could turn clock back that much, i CAN make up my mind and form my own opinions, that doesnt mean to say i think everyone should agree.
if i can come across the pics on the net i WILL post them, and will make sure you see them first. i cant show you the ones in the book, cause i cant scan and post or whatever.
but the book i was talking about a wee bit further back wasnt the book i meant the pics are in. you can have 12 cf....I DONT CARE!!!!

Which book is it Lynne?

Don't worry, i'm not having a go, it sounds like something we all have to see.

The picture's i've seen of eggs incubating in a book, consists of a huge mud pit, with about a hundred eggs incubating inside. They have a huge hatch rate, battle of the fittest and all that. Royals will lay their eggs in burrows, so i cant see any immediate danger there.. Like i said before, these conditions are probably not as hygenic, as they would if we did this ourselves. If it works for them, then who are we to judge.

EDITED: i wasn't refering to you about the way these people live. And it's already been said... Most of them are returned to the wild, and more so, there is less meat on them because they've just laid eggs. If the majority of these farms do good, then you could say something similar for the way some people in the UK look after CB royals.
