Message: <blockquote data-quote="BossRoss" data-source="post: 38869" data-attributes="member: 2395">Poec54 has been in this game a looooong time. With many years experience and many species under his belt(more than most trust me-just Google his handle and you will see). He is also one of the guys that occasionally clinks a glass with Stan Schultz and rubs shoulders with him...You asked for peoples opinions and Poec54 is a straight shooter and is to the point. Some people might take him as being rude but I think he is just responding like everyone else. Since it is difficult to interpret the manner in which things are being said over text, do not take it personally... Rather read the advice and use it or don't.Experience means a lot. I cant theoretically teach you how to do something(fly a aeroplane for example but without practical experience it is a different story-especially landing said aircraft)A fang at 2.5cm would not only penetrate my hand but would go straight through my hand by the pinky <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacarpus" target="_blank">metacarpals</a> and as a software developer and avid hobbiest of all sorts I would be sad to lose full motor function of either of my hands(even though I am ambidextrous)</blockquote>
