Tout ce qui a été posté par Jon Davidson

  1. Yeah... Right... Just a quick word of Thanks to Mr. Justin for your efforts in providing us 'Revolutionaries' an on-line place to gather and express our perspectives- if only for a limited time. Our next 'Lounge' will definitely have to be for 'Adults Only'. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
  2. A good post, Mr. Duff; and Thank you for expressing so succinctly the perspective that many of us share regarding this issue. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
  3. I've been reluctant to comment in the discussion lately because so many members have offered insightful and thought provoking observations on the important issue of ethics as it relates to the responsible private ownership of Reptiles. In my view, it is both sad and revealing that individuals like Mr. Stav are so easily challenged by such a small minority of like minded people who have merely questioned the current status quo in today's Reptile/Pet keeping industry. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
  4. A great photo-essay, Mr. Pogue(especially the melanistic Thamnophis). Thank you for posting this. Makes me want to get out and hunt some snakes... Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
  5. Could you please provide us with the author, date, publisher and ISBN number for this book, Mr. Nir? Sounds like it might be an good read. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
  6. Best of Luck with this project, Mr. Spankenstyne. I wonder if it might be possible for you to please keep us updated on this? It would certainly make for an interesting photo-essay for the Lounge. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
  7. In my view, it comes down to ethics and maturity, as Richard Ross(The Reproductive Husbandry of Pythons and Boas) eluded to in his 1996 editorial entitled: 'Emerging Ethics and Attitudes in Herpetoculture' in the Journal: Herpetological Natural History, Vol. 4; No. 1(June 1996). In the early days, the whole point of serious captive maintenance projects was the protection of genetic integrity. It's sad to see the current generation of Reptile Keepers/Hobbiests using many of the pioneering husbandry techniques to propragate degenerate genetic abnormality for novelty and profit. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
  8. Wow! Everyone, Great posts and photos! Just like back in the 'old days' in the J&W Thread. Great to see. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
  9. Awh... Mr. Pogue! Nice to see you back again, Sir. Great photo-essay and commentary, as always( Gina!!?, Could you and friends please go and prepare the always reserved best table in the house for Mr. Pogue!). Sincerely, Jon Davidson . Writer's edit: for spelling.
  10. A good observation, Mr. Duff; and one in which many of us have had first hand experience with. Welcome to the site. You should like it here(in our VIP Lounge). Great photos of live specimens. Thanks for posting them. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
  11. What!!? (wink) Just kidding. Good photographs, Mr. Dubois. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
  12. Awhhh... Melanistic Thamnophis. What a beautiful beast. Thank you for posting these photos, Mr. Pogue. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
  13. Nicely done, Mr. Spankenstyne; Good luck with the incubation. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .

    Vipera aspis atra

    Beaux serpents, Monsieur Aspisatra, particulierement le specimen melanistic. Sincerement, Jon Davidson . (S'il vous plait excusez mon Francais).
  15. Convenu! Sincerement, Jon Davidson .
  16. I suggest that we feed the remnant beekeeper parts to Mr. Pogue's Drymarchons. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
  17. Thank you for the kind words, Mr. Pogue. By the way, I too always enjoy Mr. Rancor's venomous sarcasm. It's almost unfortunate that this Mr. Beekeeper person decided to tuck his little anonymous tail between his legs and run like a wounded rabbit from the Thread. I would have enjoyed eviscerating him in a debate. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
  18. A good post and well said, as always, Mr. Pogue. In my view, the issue, as I've said before on another Canadian Reptile web site, is one of principles and values. People can reveal a great deal about themselves when discussing their values and ethics. Snakes have an inherent value beyond what they're 'worth' on a contrived commercial marketplace. Hence the almost always anonymous invective that is directed towards the individuals who have a different point of view than the 'Money and Morph' breeders who see Reptiles as having only a dollar value as a commodity. I invite all these 'Money and Morph' folks to grow a pair of testicles and come onto this Thread and post openly without the safety of an anonymous alias and discuss their perspectives on this issue with me and let the people decide for themselves which constrasting point of view has the greater merit. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
  19. I agree too that Mr. rancor's words are eloquent and most relevant, as are the words of Mr. JSI, Mr. Stevie, Mr. LD/50, Ms. Melanie76 and of course Mr. Pogue's. One need only to consider that this Mr./Ms. Beekeeper individual prefers the safety of anonymity in which to launch such a strident personal attack and that simply speaks for itself. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
  20. Great photographs of habitat and species. Nice to see right at the beginning of the 2009 Season. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
  21. Thank you for the kind words, Mr. Pogue. It's true that I enjoy Snake Hunting, and Rattlesnake Hunting in particular. It was an honour being out in the field with as dedicated and experienced a snake hunter, photographer, naturalist and friend as you, Mr. Pogue. I was beginning to think that it would be unlikely for an old guy like me to run across another old school, hard core, snake hunter like Don; but happily for me, when Mr. Pogue and I go to look for snakes, we don't stop looking until we find them(a full day and a night of hunting and we're just getting warmed up). The results of such endeavours may be seen in the posted examples of Mr. Pogue's always excellent photography work. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
