scales irritated and peeling after shedding

"Idiots and Keyboard Warriors" ???

Well, you are setting quite the example for proper etiquette.

As Taylor has said, people took the time to educate. No-one here sits around and wastes time writing long posts just to antagonize young keepers. There are thousands of members that have been helped, who's animals have been helped, by members who didn't mind to repeat the same advice, over and over, to take the time to think the issue through and give valuable advice. FOR FREE.

When someone posts a severely injured animal that really should see a vet, you will not have a experienced keeper say anything other then, that needs to see a vet. Anything else would be cruel and simply wrong. We aren't vets.
You, as a qualified vet tech, should know better. I can ask any vet out there what they think about people asking for medical advice on their critically injured animal on SOCIAL MEDIA. Ask your employer about that.

So the wound looks better. Guess that is one lucky snake. But its not because everyone should treat something like this at home. It is not because of home treatment but DESPITE home treatment that this animal got better. Perhaps you find taking such a risk acceptable. Maybe we do not.

No-one was rude. No-one was unhelpful. The only thing that was said, is what needed to be said. And no-one here will go back on their words, just because that snake is still alive.

I don't play Russian roulette with my animals health, esp. a severe injury due to my own fault. If you choose to do so, well, that is on you. But don't come here and offend all these great people that took the time to help, even offered to pay for a thermostat to help out your animal.

The only one that is rude and condescending is you. The only one name calling is you.

I understand wanting to defend your child, as a mother, but you are trying to defend your own actions by belittling ours.

And when it comes to educating. You can only educate the people that are willing to learn.

And many have.

Well contrary to what some may think solid and helpful advice have been provided, of course it's never easy when it's not what one wants to hear.

On that note I believe we are done here since I doubt anything needs to be added.
