I keep all of my ball pythons in a rack... yeah, I don't have any "fancy" carpet (even in my QT tubs), but miraculously, I've never had to coat any of them in vegetable oil. Lmao!!!

And Eric, you can't have an open minded conversation with a closed minded individual.

The reality is, is that this guy is probably no older than 20 years old.. very little experience. And he is too stubborn and has too much pride to admit that he purchased an out of the egg animal that hasn't been properly started. And if it is TRULY well established, the dang thing has vegetable oil on it.... enough said.

OP, you are antagonistic and you attack the most knowledgeable people on the site... get a grip, learn your facts, then come back for more.

Wow... it's really hard not to argue with this guy..Dude, if you're coating your snakes in vegetable oil, you got a serious problem. Good luck with your spectacular college degrees.

I love a good thought-provoking conversation and this one is hopefully doing that for all involved - as long as everyone can keep an open mind throughout.

Open mind. Yep. Gotcha.

I think it's benefiting everyone involved, minus the OP.

Actually kiddo, I'm 40 yrs young....
Show me where I "provoked" someone on this post. Please don't refer to a reply of a single comment taken out of context in conversation. Actually, the "vegetable oil" is being used by the University of Florida in a case study reference to parasites on "wild animals"... my DVM got her doctorate there!

Pushing "your way" on someone isn't open-minded! Jumping to conclusions on a picture isn't either...

[Mangiapane85]

Wow.. good for your DVM... bottom line, snakes don't need vegetable oil. Healthy ones anyway.

Get a grip bro. And I'm not a kiddo. You've only got 8 years on me. But fortunately, I have the a ability to heed others warnings and advice.

"Provoking"? I wouldn't say you did any provoking, but you did jump in the ring with one of the most knowledgeable, most respected moderator/breeder on this site (Deborah). And frankly, you made yourself look like a fool. Kudos brotha.

Good luck with your DVM approved veggie oil lol!

So what accreditations do you have with "herptology"? You have alot of winded comments but no insight that is relative to the original post.
I can show you a room full of trophys and ribbons with AKC-UKC-CKC adorned across them. My kennel name strewned across them all.
I guess your "username" is enough said son...
