Who cares what kind of knife he used? the appropriate implement is the one nearest to you that's of a reasonable size! (no swords lol)

Freaky Frog told me a story of how someone cut open a box uncarefully and the ball python inside had gotten outside of its bag and got its head cut off....im just say'in

Guys.

Go read the lighten up post again, breathe, - repeat as necessary.

Do we really need to lock this thread to enforce a time out? :rolleyes:

including all the avoidances.

yes, i actually did sell him, i had him in my captivity, but still had an ad up for him on a craigslist ad just to see what people would offer for about 15 days before i said he was my pet rambo, then the next day had gotten and outstanding offer for him, so i accepted the offer, and the guy had come and picked him up from my house that day... Then i realized i that i really missed having a red tailed boa after i had sold him and totally regret selling him so i started doing some research on some different localities of red tailed boas, because i wanted one with a bigger head,(i find the bigger the head, the more attractive it is in this species, and i wanted to buy a snake i loved to just even look at, besides for the fact it would be like my new pet) and to see if bigger heads on them was just a gender thing. (i had saw a smaller female rtb in a local reptile shop with a huge head, and i was in love with it at the time)... And i don't remember any avoidances...

Since i accidently introduced the new snakes to my current collection, my dad is going to be taking all of the snakes to the vet on tuesday (the day he is off) to get them all checked up on :) And make sure they don't have any illnesses, which im sure they don't have, but i also checked them myself for mites, respiratory infection, scale rot, etc... And have been spraying all of them down with jurassi mite 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday, & Friday) to help provent mites. Im about 95% sure all of them are in VERY good health, but we are taking them to the vet to be sure :)
Thanks,
Brandon

i read them all, I just wanted to add my 2 cents even though it probably didn't matter. Im OCD like that lol. again not trying to fuel the fire. thats good your taking them to the vet, good luck. I have made a couple of qt mistakes my self. Like forgetting to wash my hands in between handling. that was like a year ago.

Did that myself cost me a crap load in vet bills because the first animal I handled had RI and I was actually giving it its daily meds. Mistakes happen.

Yeah its unfortunate, these animals get sick very easily. mistakes do happen, and the best thing to do is learn from them.

Yeah the thing that made me soo mad on that one was I had the freaking purell like 3 feet from my main snake rack. Im just lucky that only the one caught it and not the whole collection. Stupidity its a killer lol.
