Rejoining

Gang,

I think this is rapidly approaching peeing into the wind status. :(

I know we care about the health of the snake but, if advice is being ignored, there is little point in repeating it.

Lol im starting to think so too. No way even a kid could be this dense. He probably is running a Herpstat 4 with all the bells and whistles and just trolling us all lol

It's a girl. And she left the original thread she created because people were yelling at her for not getting a thermostat, having a heat lamp, or proper humidity. She's super dense, super stupid, and super ignorant of the proper snake conditions. Her snake will die, it will be unfortunate, but because she's an ignorant, stubborn, and dense teenager (she's only 15), she will only learn to have a thermostat, a heat lamp, and some sort of humidifier once her snake dies. I bet her snake already is starting to burn and she won't notice until she has a nice roasted snake in her basement where she keeps her snake tank.

But I want to keep tugging on Super[wo]man's cape!

I have been reading this posting and the ones before you left the first time. Again we are not telling you this for our health or yours. We are telling you this from experience and for the health of you animal. Take it or leave it, it is your decision. It is not a matter of if something happens but when something happens. When it does and hopefully you get something to regulate before it does you may not get much sympathy from a lot of people on the site because you are basically saying that we do not know what we are talking about. So everyone on this site is wrong according to you. yet there are most likely more years of experience combined then the oldest person on heres age.

This is killing me. This girl is the same age as I am, I'm also a girl, but the difference is that I didn't even open my heat pad for my snakes until I got my crappy little thermostat. And even this zilla one is better than nothing. Sure the temp fluctuations are from like ~83-~92 but at least its in range. I'm actually saving up for a herpstat 4 because they kick butt. Dang girl. Get it together.

People are weirdly, stubbornly defensive of their terrible husbandry practices. I've seen this across the board: people insisting sand is fine for leopard geckos, that it's perfectly okay to give igs extra protein by feeding them pinkies and crickets, keeping turtles in scummy tanks of water and betta fish in bowls, etc. And it's always "Well I've done it for X amount of years and never had a problem!" when in reality their animals don't live for anywhere near as long as they should, and they just shrug, and pass off sudden death as a tragic and surprising thing that just suddenly happened with no way to have predicted. I don't know why it is, but it's so terribly, awfully sad for the animals that they have to suffer slow, unpleasant deaths like that.

I really really do not get how you do not get this. You admitted the temp in the glass was 120 but on top of substrate was 90...therefore your argument is invalid. If for some reason Marshall decides to go under his substrate or even gets confused, as my 3 month old did the other day and got between layers somehow, he will be a cooked snake...and your digitL thermometer was going crazy? Yeh it was, probably telling you it's was saying 110!!!

This girl is that dense that when her snake dies, she'll probably blame it on a pre-existing condition. The snake should live well into this girl's 50s, but at the rate she's going, it'll be dead within a year. Its too cold and will have the biggest RI known to bp's.
