we are.. this is how we do it. We allow our men to think they are getting their way, then we do what we know we have to do and then when it works out we let them think it was their idea all along. This way, everyone's happy.
(j/k by the way.. mostly)you would think. I'm getting the TKG I think for my birthday, I'll show him all of this stuff then.
lol actually we let you think that we think we are getting our way. when in reality we know that we truly arnt. but we do not say anything and just remain with a smile on our faces, so that women can keep their whole, "we are always right" saying and mentality. because after all if you guys are happy, then us men, are indeed happy too.we are.. this is how we do it. We allow our men to think they are getting their way, then we do what we know we have to do and then when it works out we let them think it was their idea all along. This way, everyone's happy.
+1 Yeah must be a sales tactic to trick noobs very odd.
And he's basing his argument on what, a complete lacking of information and experience? I bred my first T 40 years ago, and he knows more about it than I do?
+1 Yeah Males always grow slower , I kept Ts for about 12 years never seen a female outgrow a male. I keep room temp mostly 70-80 degrees.
Well being a noob myself I can say that I've seen them advertised that way on several sites and it is pretty tempting to buy them. I've been in this hobby for less than a month and I was trying to get the money up to buy a pair like that. Thank goodness I found this thread first and had my mind changed. I'm glad that there are more experienced keepers here that are willing to help us noobs out.
Yes these deals are better for you if you already have an adult female of this species, good deal for older breeders. I like to help out new keepers not leave them in the dark.
, sometimes they do stay in hobby longer than some current keepers. Back when I joined 2011 lot of keepers are already gone , keepers from 2007 are mostly gone too,. T keeping isn't for those who give up quickly , some species take 5-10 years to be adult sized.
yeah I was tempted too myself. even though I knew that the males will grow a lot faster I didn't realize that the pairs would be sold with both a male and female of practically the same size. so yeah I guess buying those pairs wouldn't be a smart thing to do.
i think he meant they were both 2", which in that case wouldnt really be good. anyways ive got a 3-3.5" female B. smithi. should i buy a few slings now or wait for it to grow some more?
That's a good size for spacing them out. A few 1" slings would be good as potential male suitors.
okay thanks for all the help and advice on this thread by the way. i will probably buy the slings (if i can find them) with my next paycheck.
