Ron Tremper on KS in 10 Minutes

[eyelids]

It's not on KingSnake yet, I can't wait to read it either.

You didn't miss anything...

Other than what was posted here:

Brian O asked if non albino Tangs' color was affected by incubation temperatures and Ron said that just like his albinos lower incubation temps cause more pigment condensation or something like that...

Someone asked how many geckos he hatches a year and how many feeders he uses in a week. His answers were 6-8000 geckos and 130000 insects a week.

There was quite a few husbandry related questions and several off topic questions. If I had known about the chat earlier I would have had more questions...

I saw it on Thursday on Kingsnake, I completely forgot about it though. I wanted to ask Ron about the talk of Mack Snows being Incomplete Dominate since in his book their listed as Co-Dom. I guess we'll have to wait till next time

I was setting a skunk trap infront of my house when my wife said they were calling on me lol.
I didn't get my question across to him. I was trying to lead into something but I got cut off.

 

[Intense Herpetoculture]

Kelli, don't be mad at Ron, I just don't think he knows anything on enigmas to commment on them.

 

[BluGnat]

How long does it usually take for them to get the transcript archived so it's accessible? I copied and pasted the conversation after everyone came back on from getting disconnected, if anyone wants that in a PM. It's got Michael and Kelli's questions on it (that've already been posted) plus other stuff.

ahhh maybe he is trying to play them down in his own mind LOL you know what i think of him "ITS ALL ABOUT HIM" and thats it

 

[KelliH]

I'm not mad at him Justyn, you know how I get sometimes, all sensitive and crap LOL.

 

[boutiquegecko]

Girl, you have a right to be sensitive-you've had the blazing bell and now the enigma and you have those cool nieves line gals, plus many others.
Maybe he should purchase some bells and quit getting huffy about what you have. I know I'd be a bit upset if I worked hard at something that's turning out great and had someone sort of down it.
Plus how does he know how long you've been working on a "secret" leo before going public with it? No one but you and the tooth fairy.

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

Almost like he is trying to preserve a reputation.

Those were RT's exact words to me when I called him after receiving a VERY expensive gecko from him that was missing 6 out of 10 toes.

 

[KelliH]

:juggle2:

 

[Intense Herpetoculture]

Yeah, I know. Plus, you know that you have the worlds neatest leo collection.

I'm not mad at him Justyn, you know how I get sometimes, all sensitive and crap LOL.

Don't be mad at Ron about that, Marcia. Toes are highly overrated. You saw the feet as half empty, maybe Ron saw them as half full... lol. Really, at any price, those prices especially I'd want to at least know ahead of time.

 

[Scott&Nikki]

Wait Marcia, was that me you quoted when you said that? You called him about the leo he sent missing toes and he told you he was trying to preserve his reputation?

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

Wait Marcia, was that me you quoted when you said that? You called him about the leo he sent missing toes and he told you he was trying to preserve his reputation?

Exactly. I purchased a very expensive gecko from him, and it arrived with less than half it's toes. Granted, toes are not that big a deal, but he didn't tell me in advance. When I called him, he told me he wasn't too concerned other than he had a reputation to uphold. I got a chuckle out of that...

Pardon me for still being a little wet behind the ears here [apparently] but isn't that more synonymous with upholding a facade rather than a reputation?

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

upholding a facade rather than a reputation?

Perhaps...

 

[robin]

i am missing five toes and six fingers ... but i still have my shooters and thumbs

 

[nevinm]

just to chime in....i have no respect for ron tremper at all. kelli, i have more respect for you, and what you have done for leo morphs, (thats just from what ive read here, and herd from other people)than what he has. he has lied to me twice, and also lied to a friend. i mean just OUT RIGHT lied. and yeah, that man has ALOT, AND I MEAN ALOT of pride. it would not suprise me at all, if he was just playing down since hes not the one that got them. again, i have no respect for the man, and his answers didnt suprise me at all.

Obviously, you have the right to your own opinion, and I have a feeling I may agree with much of what you said, but leos would not be anywhere CLOSE to where they are if it weren't for Ron.
