Clearing the air

[DavidD.]

I am sorry for my recent actions. I feel like I need to apoligize to the whole red tail boa community. Mark is not teaching me to free handle hots. In the future I hope to own hots and have decided that no matter the hot I will always use hooks and tongs. I do agree Mark has some unorthadox methods. But they work for him. He is very intelligent and most likley knows more about the behavior of snakes than many of us. He had a 30 year old cottonmouth and on the night before its death he took it off display and put it in a cage in the back. I am going continue to root for Mark. But I am going to be a positve force in the community.

i am glad you are gonna use hooks i was never mad at you i was just concerned about your safety and others safety. you should keep rooting for mark. i use to have a snake hero too and it about killed me when i realized he was not who i thought he was. when i seen the video you posted of mark with the alligators and stuff i could see the love he has for the critters by just how he petted them. keep your hero but decide things for yourself too. welcome back and i consider you my new friend

Well said Louise.

Snakemaster,
Stick with the positive attitude....and get more pictures from the zoo.

Must be out of the loop. wondered why all the fuss about Mark was going on...Still don't even know who Mark is....and I don't care if he freehandles his hots or not. His life, his snakes, (yeah, yeah, yeah, I know about the image of the hobby, etc...)

Anyway, air is cleared and glad you are hanging around.

OK I will. I am going to be a more positive member.

Good to know.

Just remember... No one is out to get you. We just really strongly put the needs of the reptiles first.
