    THERE'S ONLY BEEN LIKE FIVE RESPONSES TAKE A CHILL
    PILL.

    Use a tstat because without it the unregulated heating devices can get too hot and melt the tubs, crack the glass, burn your snake.

    Don't use tape inside the enclosure because it can get stuck to your snake and cause problems.

    Don't use any decorations with holes in them that your snake could wedge itself into.

    Don't setup heavy decorations in your tank without securing them. The huge log looks nice until it falls and crushes your snake.

    Don't use cedar bedding in the cage, it can be harmful to the snake. Feeding rodents that were raised in cedar bedding can be problematic too.

    I can't think of anything else at the moment.

    THWI. Apparently some of y'all just don't know how to read. It probably WOULD have been helpful to new herp keepers, but I guess ego is more important.

    I honestly don't know what you're asking then. I'm not bringing any ego into it. Ask me anything, ill answer you honestly. I'm quite proficient at reading; however, I apparently can't comprehend what you're asking...? :confused:

    I thought i did what he was asking... Listing important red flags for new owners to avoid. I don't have any personal experience with them because I did my research and haven't really made any major mistakes, so far, knock on wood. That has nothing to do with my ego, just how it is lol.

    Re: What's the worst that could happen?
    I would've thought so too. Imo most of the things to avoid should be fairly apparent and apply to most animals. No toxic fumes, be sure enclosures are secure, no strong chemicals, etc.

    Re: What's the worst that could happen?
    C'mon. I even put a template for response in the OP. Purposeful or not, no one paid the slightest bit of attention to it.

    I'm out of give a crap at this point. I can find the info if I want, others might not be able to so easily. I thought a nice, neat digest of common errors and consequences would be helpful, but it doesn't seem to be popular. C'est la vie.

    I think the OP was looking for something like this...

    If you buy substrate from Home Depot make sure to check for this "........" otherwise, this could happen "........"
    If you don't use a thermostat, this could happen "........"
    If you don't have the proper humidity, this could happen "........"
    If you don't properly secure your rack, this could happen "........"

    And so on......

    A general check list of some do's and don'ts doesn't seem like a bad idea.

    If i give you a template for removing objects from your rectum, would you pay attention to that? It would probably be in your best interest to seek out medical help if you can't get the stick out yourself. It appears to be lodged in pretty deep.
