Um, yah. Im seriously doubting that this woman's IQ was over 60. I really, really, REALLY can't grasp the concept of someone not reconizing 2 totally different kinds of snakes without this statement being true.

Someone should be watching this woman day and night.

Im really sorry you had to go through this mindboggling frustration.

I've been sitting here for five minutes trying to come up with a reply. I can't. I'm speechless.

My brain just keeps screaming "HOW COULD SOMEONE DO THAT?"

You showed remarkable restraint and politeness to someone who quite obviously deserved neither.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that!!! *big hug*
That poor, sweet, little snake...............

What amazes me is how some people take the ownership of animals so lightly by not doing any research.

Yet again another example of why people should not own any kind of animal.

The scary thought is how long will it take before that person get another snake “That her king George might like” because we know that someone like that with little to no common sense will most likely buy another snake in no time at all thinking it was just not her fault.

Ed I admire what you do by trying to help people, I would not be capable of doing that without losing my cool in that kind of case.

Ed, I admire you...I'd likely have lost it and said a whole bunch of not so very child friendly words. Seems this owner is defintely homozygous for stupid and uncaring. Sadly she'll likely dash out and replace the poor ball python and in the process teach her kids some very poor lessons about respecting living things. :(

I've been saying this for years...75% of the human population consists of complete morons. I am amazed these people can even tie their own shoes.
My parents owned two pet stores and the stuff the general public does is unreal. Most people here have NO clue just how dumb most people are when it comes to pets. It isn't even sad or pathetic, it's frightening...

Wow, just....wow.

Thats all I can muster at this point in time. :(

I don't know what to asy. I'm just sitting here shocked.

God! Did she get dropped on the head as a :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:ing child??!! :fork:

I have no idea what I would have done had I been in that situation. :O :banned1:

someone give that lady a black mamba... be sure to mention they love their heads rubbed

...... :eek: ........

Ok, apparently this woman did not even THINK (if she can at all) to do some research before getting the ball or attempting to "breed" the two.... That's ridiculous... there is absolutely NO explanation for that.... COMPLETE STUPIDITY!!!! I'm 16 and I research an animal thoroughly before i get it.... this woman should be taken to a desert island and left there....

If I would have been there I highly doubt that woman would have liked what I would have said... or done.... You must have amazingly strong self restraint....
