Maybe you should leave.

Also, while reading and research is good, experience is going to teach you a whole lot more.

He's being extremely sarcastic towards your post because we had already established that the OP lives in the Philippines and doesn't necessarily require a heat source. They had already begun talking about possible reasons as to why the snake was regurgitating food. And then all of a sudden you come into the thread simply saying the OP's snake was regurgitating and has no heat source and he was still asking why his snake was doing so.

1. If you had read the rest of the posts up until you had posted, you may have realized why the OP has no heat source.

2. As stated above, the OP has expressed that he's been doing this for 7 years and has had no problems up until now, when his snake suddenly regurgitated food twice in a row and has begun to look rather thin.

3. He's also being sarcastic to the other person because they were over-reacting to the lack of information that the OP had first stated with the creation of this thread.

So aside from the constant bickering over the quick and sudden backlash over what people assumed was mistreatment by the OP, can we please get back to talking about possible reasons as to why a snake would suddenly regurgitate its food twice in a row? As we've said, the OP has had zero problems with his snakes for the past 7 years. I do recommend a trip to the vet just because this is unusual behavior and the snake has been fine up until now.


EDIT: Also for future reference:
Thermometer - Used for measuring current temperatures.
Thermostat - Used to regulate a heat source to maintain a constant temperature. Usually used in conjunction with a thermometer, completely useless if there is no heat source to help regulate a constant temperature.

So? Telling a mod he should "leave"? Ok...

I won't deny that but also the definition of insanity is trying the same things and expecting different results...

I did read through the whole thing. I'm not back lashing I asked a question and yes after I read the whole post I still think it could be a solution. Yeah okay you can keep a ball without a heat source for seven years. I see that. Everyone is going to have their own opinion about how to feed a snake how to heat it and blah blah. I saw that no one was really (and still is I guess) serious about an additional heat source, and based on the OP, I gave my input. I don't need to be bashed as a "new keeper" for asking a simple question. Even if it is a sarcastic moderator.

The OP has been keeping snakes for 7 years.

If you do something long enough, you will eventually encounter various problems. They happen.

Maybe it's just me. But I wouldn't be rude or disrespectful to the staff...
