And that's not the right attitude: we were all just giving suggestions and opinions. We WANT people to ask questions (however silly or repetitive they may seem), it makes them better keepers of their animals. Just read and research, there's a lot of info out there that can make a new keeper confused.

Nobody said not to ask questions. You just need to be open to suggestions, given your recent chain of events. Everyone here answering only wants to help, so your snake can be as happy and healthy as can be.

That is exactly why I asked for help. But then I got blown up on. Soooo I'm about done with this forum because just because someone owned a snake longer doesn't make everyone else a "noob".. Thats where I was offended. I just asked a simple question and explained the situation and said all I needed to know was about the feeding after I said 3 times I sanitized everything. Then Terry tough tits and his friends had to join in. Real cool. Done with this forum I will just ask other people cuz this is about as dumb as it gets.

No one ever said that was the case. There are people who've owned snakes for decades and are still doing it wrong. And there are beginners who get off to a great start and never have any issues.

On your part, I think you've done a good job thus far asking questions and trying to help Joker. Most people really don't go looking for help if they notice a problem with a snake, they just let it die or euthanize it. You, however, have been responsible with your animals and receptive to advice from knowledgeable BP.net users (not including myself - I just got here!!).

The reason we're all worried (and it's not because you're a "noob") is mainly because you've just had a snake die and the new snake may or may not have come from the same place and is now in the same environment as the previous snake. It also sounds like there were some mix-ups on your vet's part. Your friend bought this snake (and I'm not sure how much she knows about BPs...) out of kindness but spent way too much money without a viable guarantee or proof of origin (CB or WC/CH).

All that to say... please don't go. :please:

Trust me, a lot of people on this forum don't consider themselves experts and some have owned snakes for a LONG time. I myself don't consider myself an expert by any means: I'm still learning new stuff everyday and growing as a keeper of BPs and many other species.

But, regardless of what you choose I do hope you stay: there's a lot of good info on this site and once you get over "bumps" like these kinda threads there's still many other discussions to join in on and enjoy.

Edit: Rebel beat me to it.

No, its because its not like burger king, like Slim said. You can't control the answers you get. And you got all defensive about people offering suggestions. No one is ganging up on you. In case you haven't noticed, whenever people post a thread here they get all kinds of responses. Whether its what they want to hear or not.

... Except for what Slim had to say.
1. Maybe if he would have read my whole thing about skipping feeding my question would not have sounded "newbie"
2. I honestly did not mean to be ruse with me saying "not to be rude" but slim had to make a sly "not to be rude back"
3. Okay. So since its not burger king where everything goes your way, alright slim. Since I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear, before you try to make someone else sound like an idiot, check your grammar and spelling. It's "control" not "controll".
Burger king. HA! There's some Mickey dees for ya.
