What if you're wrong?

"learn to read, learn to look, learn to listen. and dang that ain't no atrox or a cross, what is the matter with you??? for being so dang smart?"

>>> Maybe I ain't so bright. :) But the difference is that I am open to learning something new, despite what knowledge I already have. I suppose it could be a ruber, a scute, or a slight maybe for a mitchelli. If it isn't any of those, it may very well be a cross, and you may very well be wrong. But it looks like you're choosing to leave that up to my imagination, because I can't make a decent call without seeing the rest of the animal. But that's probably what you consider "fun". I consider it bullsh!t. LOL.

"Also, Learn to be scientific, because surely you are not."

>>> I'm not a scientist, if that's what you mean. I tend to use common sense more than anything else. I KNOW you know what THAT is.... don't you? We all have our personal barriers... some more obvious than others.

"If you think this forum has anything to do with science, you are lost."

>>>> Hmmmm.... I would suggest the opposite. If you think this forum is about purdy colors and extraordinary claims, you are way off.

" Why should it be??????"

>>> Because biology is the study of living things. Biology is science. This forum is called the Crotalidae Forum, which is Latin nomeclature assigned by scientists. I would expect anyone who is interested in Crotalids to be interested in the research associated with them. If you're not, you're limiting yourself.

"I think its supposed to be fun, instead of showing you more of the snake, I will not show anything here."

>>> Well, I guess if that's fun for YOU, that's all that matters. :)
