Mostly the month before you joined.

It can be frustrating when people tell your that your instincts are wrong, especially when you're trying to do the right thing. I'm a newbie, so I know. In the end, your scaly friend is 100% reliant on you, and that is why the experts here are being short with you. I doubt they're trying to be personal, they just want to give you realistic advice on what will and won't work. Walking away isn't going to make anything better for Cookie or you.


What helped me was to try and think like the snake. He's a tiny guy with instincts evolved from the African Savannah! Everything huge and noisy there will eat or squish him. There is absolutely nothing he likes better than a quiet, dark, warm safe place to grow. You can be a part of that safe place with quiet rare handling, but the confidence will come from him feeling secure in his enclosure.


I'd try putting a blanket/beach towel to cover the entire enclosure. It'll bump the ambient temp a few degrees and will dampen out the light and noise of the room around him and help keep in humidity.

I wouldn't leave because of you feeling a certain kind of way. It's not that anybody is being mean or picking on you, we just want what's best for your BP. You've done some things that most people wouldn't do, more so without even asking for advice, but all everybody is trying to get you to understand that we have a lot of experience, and if you listen to us and take our advice, you'll end up with a much happier BP.

Think that was more meant as "Good night"

So good morning.

Predictible if you ask me, over the last 10 years on this forum we had quite a few people like yourself

The MO is usually as followed

1/ Person ask for advice, refuse to listen telling experienced owners they know nothing.

2/ Their attitude and unwillingness to listen turn every thread into a circus

3/ After a while a public apology is offered.

4/ Things cool down and people offer a second chance.

5/ Back to the same old "I won't listen" and the attitude that comes with it.

6/ More drama

7/ A dramatic goodbye.

Next move? Well usually after all that people can't help themselves and comeback, because the goodbye was just an attempt to make people feel sorry.

This forum is no different than real life and if the "I know everything and I won't listen to you" attitude is to to be expected from a teenager people usually expect better from a mature adult and will not tolerate it for very long.

Everything that has happened here is on YOU, YOU brought this on yourself no one else and if you are not willing to change it will keep happening no matter where you go, it is that simple.

Oh well, I just feel bad for Wheatley. He is most likely sick and completely dependent on you, and you're on the internet doing stuff like this.:colbert:

Anyone have a link so that I can know what happened? Sorry, I guess curiosity is getting the best of me.

When you click on a member's name, you can see their post history for yourself. There's no reason to post a link to these threads just to create a virtual rubber neck effect.

You can also view their profile, and there's a link called "Find latest started threads", so you can start from the very first few threads.

Aka mods can see when a member visits the site. :zerb:

Sorry to see you go KW. Things may have been rough here but at least you were getting the info you needed. I hope that even if you don't participate in forum functions anymore, you still visit the site for help and reference.

Best of luck to you and Cookie.

Now now, lets not celebrate because somebody is leaving. We are here to talk about our pets, share our stories, advice and help each other out.

Nothing dramatic about it. I did not give reasons, nor did I put anything else other than goodbye. If one wanted to make someone feel sorry, wouldn't they put down some emotional garbage or perhaps unnecessary reasoning?

However a good point was made to me by one of the more mature members of this site.

Mostly because it reminded me that the majority of people on here are not those being absolute you-know-what's to me.

And I happily reminded myself that even if I lack the ability to block/ignore the people, I can actually ignore them irl and simply pass over their message and never respond. Because those people know I have a problem with them, so it's obvious they are simply responding to get my goat.

And it's my fault I keep responding.

Like so.

So, note to everyone else. If you don't like the OP, DONT RESPOND. :)

From now one it will be as if you are speaking to deaf ears. I will not tolerate you any longer.

You can ignore people you Just need to click on their profile and select ignore . I'm sure I saw deb or pit tell you that in a different thread you had posted but if I am mistaken now you know.

That's correct. However... You can't ignore mods/admins.

Whoa!! I'm on here pretty much every day and I somehow missed this huge drama battle!!?? To the top with this!! *grabs popcorn and sits back*

It's really simple, and even I've been guilty of this in the past but if you don't like something somebody says, or if you don't agree with them there's no need to bash or be spiteful. We need to stick together as the whole goal of the site when created by Judy, Emily, rabernet, Nate and dr del it was meant to be family orientated. We need to all be mature, everybody has different ways of doing things and we need to understand that. If you don't like the advice given to you by somebody, simply saying Thanks and getting additional advice, or just simply ignoring it works. If you reply to their advice and you two get into it, that does nobody any good and it usually ends up in the thread being locked. We also don't need to try to be sneaky when we mention certain people, or even call certain people out, as that only creates more drama, then from that negativity it creates more issues. It makes the job of the BP.net staff work more than they have to. I've personally owned forums, I've been a moderator and admin on others, and let me tell you when you're dealing with a large community, a lot of things that we as regular users don't see.

Now for the sake of drama, I'm going to ask that this thread be locked so we can avoid any further discussion on this topic.
