So a 20 minute trip to the pet store nd $40 to fix my horrible, uninhabitable enclosures? sounds good.

Then fix it and stop being a whiny brat.

I'm gonna say something...

If he's a troll and trying to get you riled up, why are you still feeding him?

If he's genuine and just happens to be annoying, why are we still here? Y'all are going around in circles.

This thread makes me tired.

Night.

While a thread like this was kind of unnecessary, I understand the feelings of frustration. Honestly your setups look fine. They're not perfect, and people who are looking for things to criticize will find them. But the animals have hides, sufficient temperatures to thermoregulate, and fresh water. I have seen animals in far worse circumstances and applaud your decision to be a more responsible keeper. It's always good to see someone who genuinely cares about the well-being of their animals.

Thank you. that's where the majority of my anger is coming from. I am trying to take.care of my animals, and they aren't being deprived of anything, yet people are making it seem like I'm doing a horrible job. I appreciate the kind words.

It is your attitude that people don't care for. Don't start being a martyr.

And are you sure he's arguing with a "whinny" brat?

Anyway, I'm out of this thread and on to better reading.

Lol that's seriously my favorite movie.

Everybody chill out and take a step back. Let's try to make the forums peaceful again. This or you can ask Mason that I'll turn this thread to N rated. :D

You rubbed some people the wrong way, and I think a lot of the responses you are getting are based on personal dislike/annoyance rather than your actual husbandry. I hope you will enjoy this site, despite your previous experiences. There are always new things to learn, new methods to try. :)

*sigh*
I'm beginning to get really worried about you. I really really want to believe your heart is in the right place, and that maybe you're just young and not thinking this all through? And I'm trying so hard to be nice, and rationalize your thought process, and think back to when I was your age, but it's getting hard. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you got your first snake in May or June, right? That means you've only been keeping snakes for like four months or something, right? Even if it was longer, you definitely only had the ball python when I first met you like three months ago. So that means you went from having no experience to having six snakes in a matter of months. And now you are wanting more? I've had one boa in three years. Your set-ups aren't the worst I have seen. But are you sure you can handle more? I'm not that much older than you are, I'm a senior in college, and I would LOVE to have another boa. But right now I'm also paying my way through school, and setting aside money to eventually start my career and have a family. Plus I am always adding funds to my animal's accounts in case there are more emergencies. I know my limitations, and as much as I want to take in another snake, I know I can't.

A few weeks ago you were complaining about funds, and now you're saying you can easily buy another two cages for your two BCIs? And have you considered how much it will cost to feed them further down the line? What are you going to do if one of your pets gets sick? How are you going to afford to buy housing for them as they grow? I'm sorry, but until you're able to answer these questions, I don't believe you have any business getting any more animals. You have your entire life ahead of you, you're new to reptiles, so what is the rush? Your snakes should still be new and exciting to you. I really don't understand why so many new keepers feel the need to go get a dozen or more snakes in their first year. You're not the first person with this problem, and you won't be the last, but I've seen it blow up in so many keepers faces and they lose their entire collections. And it isn't you who loses, it's the snakes.

I know it may not seem like it from this post, but I really do care about you. You are very passionate about animals, and I believe that you could do a lot to influence other people and help them get over their hatred of snakes. And I know you don't want to hurt any of your animals, but if your animals need medical attention, and you can't afford it, that is YOUR fault (just so you know, I've spent well over $1000 dollars on my ferrets, $200 dollars on Figment's vet visit, and my cat's vet bill came out to $7000 dollars - thank god the vet fell in love with her and paid for many procedures himself). So please focus on what you already have, take advice humbly, and think about the future. I know it's hard at your age to look ahead but I feel like I'm pretty well-adjusted for a college student (I've excelled at my jobs, I get good grades, and I have a really good relationship) but I still feel like I'm drowning in the "real-world" and I'm so thankful I don't have more pets than I do. I couldn't live without my animals (seriously, not kidding here) but I know my limitations. Please find your limitations. I don't want to see you have to give away your pets or lose them because you can't afford to treat them. I know you already know the devastation of losing an animal, and just think about what that would feel like if you had to go through it again when you could have prevented it (or at least done your best to). Again I really do care about you, as much as you can care about some stranger you've talked to on the internet for several months, and I just don't want to see you get in over your head. I know you love your animals and that's the only reason I'm even bothering to type out this reply.

I'm all over the place here. Sorry about the length of this. It's just been building up in me for a while. I'm done now. That's all I'm going to say on the matter. The thread took a different turn, but I've been typing this out for an hour so I figured I might as well post it. I really hope you understand that I'm not trying to be mean. I just don't want to see you end up like I've seen other keepers your age end up.

That's because I personally don't care for being "buddies" with people online. My snakes are the ones who suffer from my supposedly horrible husbandry if people don't give info, and are only rude. Thanks again, though.
I'll surely stick around (like it or not lol).

I agree with Shann. Something that new keepers often overlook is the necessity of saving up a fund for vet bills, which inevitably occur no matter how perfect a keeper you are. Make sure that your current animals have everything they need before getting more. None of us are perfect, and sometimes it's hard to resist that adorable/beautiful/awesome snake, but it's a good thing to go slowly, save money for vet bills, and take time to learn about your animals before getting so many that you become overwhelmed. It's much easier to enjoy your snakes when you have a manageable number.

I wasn't complaining about money. I am making plenty enough for me and the snakes I Have. I was complaining about waiting for my check. I was just really vague about that. I could see how that was taken into the wrong context (I said "I have to have a paycheck to buy blah blah blah". My fault there). The only time I'm not at home is when I'm at work, so I have time + money to care for the ones I have. I have been keeping snakes for about 7 - 8 months. However, my first snake was a WC garter whom would not eat anything besides fish. Anyways. I get where you're coming from completely, but I don't push my limits. Caring and affording the snake I have right now is nothing. I didn't think Dumas cage out as well as I should've and that's the only reason I ran into that issue. I do not push my limits when it comes to pets. If I couldn't handle five snakes, I most definitely would not have five snakes. I cannot control when my new enclosure is shipped, so I'm done discussing that aspect. Anyways, I was only looking for ideas, I am not necessarily set on getting more reptiles. Thank you for the reply and your concern.

I'm making an average of $800-$1,000 right now, and I'm saving close to half of my checks in case of emergencies.

Another thing to keep in mind is quarantine. Every new animal you get should be quarantined for a minimum of 3 months. It's very very difficult to maintain a strict quarantine when you are often getting new animals. Going slowly also helps protect you and your animals from the tragedies that occur too often when a sick animal is introduced. Mites, Respiratory Illness, and other very serious health concerns such as IBD and OPMV become an issue when you do not quarantine properly.

But all in all I think you are a good pet owner, and you already seem open to learning from other people. I am glad that taking care of your animals is so important to you. Despite our differences, everyone here has a passion for their animals, and a strong desire to see them properly cared for.

I must be getting to bed now. Make sure to take pics when your new cage arrives. ;) Always fun to see snakes enjoying their new cages.

BTW, I don't want more reptiles as an impulsive decision. I feel completely comfortable with the five snakes I own, and I consider them manageable. And again.. I wasn't set on getting more. I was merely considering it.

If only people would think about finances and enclosures before having kids... ;)

Why would people do that when they can live offmofnpublic aid? Sad it is, I'm a manager with 5 years experience working 40 hours a week and MULTIPLE 16 year old girls who are employed with my company bring home nearly double what I do with food stamps and cash assassinate....

Now yes, I do agree before buying a animal finances and enclosures are a top priority.... I took in my third as a rescue and I wasn't prepared and it was a nightmare!

Well my situation isn't too bad. My enclosure will be here in 9 days or less.

Not trying to stir the pot again, but just out of curosity what size tank is that corn in? Eventually you will probably want to upgrade that as well, my corn is a mover and uses every bit of space he has. Just a thought.

I know that she may need something bigger eventually. She's in a 20 Gal right now.

This thread just needs to be closed and people should really avoid posting threads like these because it only gets people within the community heated up and arguing and that doesn't do a bit of good for anybody.

I personally have nothing against anybody in the thread, of course I don't necessarily get along with a member or two on the forums but I don't make it a point to create an issue with them.

BOS, I think what people are honestly trying to say is by starting this thread you brought up everything that got people heated up in the last couple of weeks. That along with the big signature is probably rubbing people the wrong way and while I get you're not here to make buddies, it's better to make friends than enemies. Some of these very people you're getting into it with could help you in the future and if you ever want to sell on the forums you have to be in good standing with the reptile community.

Not only that but if you ever wanted to do breeding loans in the future people are going to remember you by the experiences they had and then you lose out on potentially getting some nice animals. The sad but true part is that people are often remembered by the negative things they do rather than the positive. It's like my parents always taught me, do 100 good things and 1 bad things and you'll be remembered for that bad. So we should be trying to move past that whole issue and you should be trying to create a new image for yourself. I personally have nothing against you so I hope you don't take this the wrong way.

Well said Neal

Thank, man. And no offense taken!

How many of you had pets when you were younger that ended up suffering from ignorant husbandry, rehomed, dead before their days, or in the care of your parents. You never acquired any of those animals with those intentions, but it happened. How many pleaded for a dog or cat and dumped it with your parents or someone else when you went to college? How many of you are here pushing on this guy because you now see how easily you could have prevented all of those things. He's on the forums getting a whole lot more husbandry info than I ever had when I was that age. I'm not saying to applaud, but know when it's appropriate to keep pushing on someone and when you need to let them learn their own lessons, even at the expense of some animals. People get so cranky about how pet stores care for animals and pass that on to the buyers. Welcome to the pet trade. I'm probably going to upset some people saying that, but take a hard look at yourselves and tell me you were A+ all mighty animal parent from birth.

I'm just playing devils advocate here - I'm not actually evil or bitter. This thread should have died before it begun, though. He's young - he knows everything - you did too. Lay off and be happy that he's on the forums to soak in some knowledge second hand so he can deploy it when he's ready.

Being young is no excuse for his behavior at this point. Sure, at first, being young and stupid is a great excuse. But 10 threads and hundreds of posts later, young doesn't carry much weight anymore.

I will put my 2 cents here as a member again before this thread gets locked or moved because we all know it is bound to happen.

To Eric, when you come on a forum and criticize those horrible newbies mistreating their animals expect that you will be called out yourself when people find out that you are one of those newbie yourself. You are young and have a lot to learn, one of the thing you have to learn is also to let go and walk away rather then stir the pot (already said that but obviously you chose to ignore it). This thread was unnecessary and obviously is not helping your reputation, stirring the pot has never help anyone. My advice, take a break, assess your actions and come back when you are willing to listen and lose the attitude.

Now to the others, pointing out mistakes in an effort to help someone is great, however you all know what they say “you can lead a horse to the water…”. In other words if your attempts to point someone in the right direction fail or if you cannot get through because the person is resisting, you too need to learn to walk away too, better yet if you are really annoyed use the IGNORE feature.

Threads like this, or turning every thread that the OP makes into the drama llama does not accomplish anything. Sometime ignoring someone is a much better option than trying to have the last word every single time.

While reading through this forum post was entertaining... I am also saddened. I am new to this forum but not to the snake world and it is dis concerning to see that as a community we attack each other. We as people should see that some people just want attention whether negative or positive. It is just horrible. I know I have gone to an expo not expecting to pick up another snake but I see one the was "A GREAT DEAL" or wow it just "HAD TO HAVE IT" and I did not have a proper enclosure until the next day. Does that make me a horrible snake owner? NO! I have also used half logs in all of my enclosures on the "HOT" side and my snakes have never minded it and they hardly ever miss a meal. And I also do not think they care if their enclosures match it seems to be more of a human aesthetic problem then a snakes. I just feel like instead of feeding into the negative we should build up the "new" or "young" snake owner. Instead of saying improper maybe say "I see your doing it like X maybe try Y". Then we would not be faced with a 9 page post full of rudeness from both ends. Everyone here has made husbandry mistakes at one point whether small or catastrophic, and we should not act " Holier than thou". That is just my opinion. :)

You just keep putting a target on your back. You've apologized for your bad start here and were on your way to being "forgotten" (meaning the negative pushed to the back by being a positive member on here). Just lay low and don't keep causing more drama. Some of your threads left a bad taste in others mouths and keeping up the drama just keeps refreshing it. You say you're not here to make buddies, but if you ever plan on breeding, your reputation is going to greatly effect your sales. I try to watch what I say and be a positive, active member on here for that very reason. I'm here to learn, "meet" people, and establish myself in the community. I think that's what the forum is all about.

When I read something online that upsets that is directed at me I read it a few times then wait a while. Later when I've processed it and cooled off I make my reply with a level head. That's one good thing about online contact is you have that opportunity to take your time to choose your reaction and words.

My first reaction to reading the original post.. God help me..

Now to read through this all.. I am in for a treat aren't I?

I don't disagree - I don't think I have full context. I just saw this thread and the one other asking about what animals to fit in the shoddy rack that looks primed for escape.

Okay.. I was bored by page 6 or 7.

1) B.O.S. I had high hopes for you when you apologized before. Honestly, I didn't see a good point for this thread, although I do understand your frustration. Please, for the love of god, do yourself a favor and change your signature. It DOES make you look like a whiny little kid. With that said, it's awesome you got your new enclosure, and it's awesome that you are taking advice, and putting your animals health and well being first. We all started off somewhere and made mistakes, you're right - and I am glad you are looking at people's advice, and ways to improve. However the way you go about approaching topics get's under people's skin and starts the ball rolling for threads like these.

2) We all need to step back and take a look at our attitudes. This lynching has gone on long enough, no good is coming from it. WE ALL NEED AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT, not just B.O.S.
