"sure, do you believe everything you read?" :colbert:
give this guy Adam's phone number and let him explain the needs of a ball python.
Right! When I protested at first, I was "shooshed" to silence and he gave me a look like "Who's the PRO here, huh???" Later he asked me where I got some of my information and I said the internet, but more specifically this site. He wasn't really interested, but said that he was glad I had more resources than he did...

That is pretty sad about the Vet. imagine all the people who dont know any better and listen to him...I bet you could stop by all the patients homes and find there snakes hanging around out side in there little wire cages lol....sad.
:8: My husband's going to Korea for a year and I usually acquire more animals when he's not around to Veto it! I've already started a "Secret-second-snake-don't-tell-my-husband Fund" ;) I want a spider or a sugar so bad, I dream about them at night sometimes!!!
Also, the vet handled Simon like King Kong with a slinky! Yank here; pat-pat rub there; back and forth between hands....more rubbing and scratching Simon's back.:eek: I kept wincing, expecting Simon to strike him, but he never did. He was like "Wow, what an active little fella!" I'm thinking "Yeah, he's desperately trying to escape you, ya big ogre..."
