This actually made me cry... graphic... warning.

The person making the video is probably a child, I actually think he is a child by his other videos, so he is self-demeaning and emotional... but the video itself is a beautiful video... until the end when you see the video of Sniper's "last moments".
I found this while doing research on scale rots.
I literally cried :( I hope I never mess up with my ball python like this

Well i have to take a different angle on the matter. Once again someone who did not do proper research before they own an animal. I feel terrible that one heck of a beautiful spider had to die, but it was because of the video poster's lack of care that put the snake in that situation.

Some of you might not like what i have to say, but i see stuff like this all the time and it always makes me angry.

It wont let me open the link on my phone or my ipad. What is the name of the YouTube video where I can look it up that away?

I almost cried too because the poor thing should not have had to go through that in the first place. I definitely wouldn't let my animal die a slow, excruciating death once its clear that it can't be saved. Seeing animals go through unnecessary pain like that makes me want to hit someone :mad:

It is called: "A tribute to a friend. RIP Sniper. "

I wouldn't video tape something like that, let alone show it to people.

The snake didn't die from scale rot that was just the instrument, neglect. I get very frustrated when I hear people whom take on the care of any animal and are unable to properly care for it due to a lack of understanding, finances or time. I wish people would not buy a living thing because it is 'cool' I hope that the person whom made the video learned something, but it is appalling that that lesion was taught with the suffering of a living dependent.

I looked at the other videos from this kid, and to me it doesn't seem like a neglect case. He's very thorough in checking them to make sure they're healthy and very intent on their well-being. Sometimes a tragedy like this happens, but I don't think the kid was a bad owner. Granted, I do think if the poor snake was beyond saving he should have been humanely euthanized and not have had to suffer until the end.

Just my :2cent:

How the heck could this kid sit there and pull out his cell while his "beloved" snake is dieing and record it?! It was his own fault and im pissed that this beautiful spider bp had to die because of some ki. iIf you watch his other videos the snake got out of its tank and sat on the heat mat and he was supposedly doing better (two months before death). Im guessing the wounds got infected from there and wasnt taken care of. Poor husbandry from the beginning, and it makes me wanna find this kid and take all of his animals cause obviously he cant care for them.
