    One thing I noticed though, the person on Fauna who posted it, also "corrected" the expert and suggested a 100 gallon tank for an adult female on the third video of the series.

    Who decides that someone is an "expert" on ExpertVillage anyway? Or do you just have to submit a video series?

    Hahaha!! I keep mine in 150 gallon tanks so 100 gallons is WAY too small! What a joke...

    I think you just have to say you are an expert...

    Damn Jamie. I took her advice, and tried to hold my snake egg against a candle light to see if it was fertile. Now the egg is slightly hard, and I think I may have cooked it.

    Not ALLL of her advice was bad. She will lure you in with something truthful and vague, and the smash it with the details!

    Examples

    "This is a ball python"

    Yes .. yes it is a ball python. Continue.

    "It's about six feet long"

    DOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!

    "To see if the egg is fertile, you can use the "Candle Light" technique.

    Yes, yes you could. Continue

    "Hold the egg over a candle"

    DOOOOOHHHHhhhhh!

    "This is an albino Ball"

    AHHHhh, I see that it is ...

    "They are the most expensive morph out there"

    .. hmmm, that doesn't sound right ....

    The belly of the snake is always white, unless they are a morph....ummm?

    And can sense heat up to a mile away with their heat pits?

    I don't know how she did that with a straight face.

    She's a perfect example of why you shouldn't be getting your husbandry advice from a pet store.

    Well obviously she needs to look up some more………..lot more. :rolleyes:

    It's good to see "experts" like this take it upon themselves to put forth the time and effort to make educational videos like this and help out beginners that are just getting into this hobby. I'm going to make an entire series of care sheets based on the wonderful and insightful information she provided! :D ;)

    Hey does anyone know where I can get an 8 foot ball python? That sounds badass.

    Oh, btw, even tho the op on Fauna is a dummy, the best line evras is... That... is... a... normal ball python. Not a jungle. :8:

    And I love when the chick in the video is holding up the book, referring to the albino as the most expensive morph out there. There is also a clown on said page. End of story.

    I was late for work this morning because I was cracking up. Thanks Jamies.

    My Veterinarian must have gone to the same school about snakes, cause I brought one of my ball pythons in for a check up. I told him it was a female ball python, and he said that I was wrong because the spurrs were too big to be a female. And I said thats funny, cause she just dropped eggs about 4 weeks ago. He said "Oh"

    LOL.

    I only watch those expert villiage videos because they are amusing to watch. They make such fools of themselves. I'm not sure which was the biggest red flag, the obvious pet store backdrop, or the "Holiday Values" sign right next to her. Go holiday impulse buys!
