Now repeat after me...(graphic)

"This is why we learn about a pet BEFORE we buy one"

On another site, this kid says he has no idea what's wrong with his new ball python. He's got it in a tank with a heat mat on full blast, no temp gun/guage, no dimmer, no thermostat. AND he has NO IDEA why it's suddenly "aggressive" Now he's saying there's NO vet anywhere within a 100 miles of him. This kind of thing drives me CRAZY....this poor snake is going to die a slow painful death.

idiot, do you know where or how old that person is

He said West Virginia, because I googled about 10 vets that see exotics, and idk how old he is, but in the pic there is a tattoo on the wrist. I just assumed by the lack of common sense that he was a kid (no offense to the responsible kids on here).

Every reptile i get i look up requirements, work out finances and see if i can take care of it. if he would've looked he would've seen that no, you cant put a heat mat on full blast for a bp, every care sheet says that.

this is "that guy" who walks around town with the snake around his neck to show people how edgy and dark he is. he cares nothing for this animal. its an accessory meant to get a reaction out of people. usually adverse.

if it had been a kid it could be understood if not condoned. but like you pointed out, the tattoo makes me believe that this is an adult who should know better.

maybe i'm wrong but i dont think i am. but this really makes me angry. :mad:

Another fine example of a person who himself, should not, under any circumstances be allowed to have children, or near any other living thing. Laziness and stupidity are the only excuses to explain such horrible treatment. If anyone knows who this is, tell him I'll graciously take the poor animal (if its still alive) and try to do what i can for it. Very sad to say the least.

Lgray, tell him he needs to drive 100 miles to that exotic animal vet and help the BP.

I seen the same post the other day and it made me sick. I told the person that no matter how far the vet was he needed to take it there NOW. I can understand that people may have problems arise with there pets, but this is nothing but pure neglect.

He's just lazy and doesn't care about his snake. I wish I knew where in WV he lived so I could go help the snake >.> and get it away from this person.

I love animals ppl! If I was to go to Africa and got ate by a lion, know I would have known that it was all my fault that I got eaten either way.

So on JB's note. Once he's done driving it to the vet leave the ball there. Drive a 100 more miles until you come to a cliff and jump off please.
