Haha, I think this thread should just be locked anyways.
It's good to know she got to the vet, was able to pay for the bill, and hope that her brothers snake will be okay. But honestly, now it's kind of pointless. There is enough in here to write an autobiography.. >.<
Some people were very harsh, but honestly. It is the internet. I'm not saying it is okay to rant, and personally attack someone elses lifestyle choices, it's just very difficult to expect everyone to be as loving and as caring as most snake owners do appear.
Moral of the story: Keep it to the snakes. The details of your life, are important but their voicing isn't necessary, when it comes to the welfare of your snake.
I'm sure all the members still have the utmost respect for you, and your dedication to your brothers snake, but this thread was.. high school, to say the least.
