Ball Python People on FB

[MasonC2K]

I just join FB groups for the pics. I have found them to be pretty toxic. Everyone is a god and if you don't agree with them you get hammered.

Ball Python Enthusiasts initially was chill when it first started 3~4 years ago and only had about 2k members when I joined. Now with 10k+ members, I wouldn't be surprised if it's as bad as the rest

I joined that group a week or two ago. About ready to ditch it. God help you if you do something they don't like. The rules are so strict and borderline ridiculous, and while that might work for some, to me it felt like any sense of discussion over different opinions, discussions, and just overall friendly chitchat was removed. You can't even call a ball python a danger noodle or something similar without risk of being banned. I just love the pictures honestly. This forum will always be my go to for questions and discussions, never once felt attacked here.

LOL that sounds basically just as ridiculous as that other group-that-should-not-be-named now

All these Facebook groups seem like a bunch of Strokers, they have nothing else to do with their life except argue with people about one subject. There’s no balance to anything anymore. There’s a Rodent Breeder site too and people contradict everything you say. I’m about done with it all.

I'm in a Fb group for bearded dragons that is pretty chill, but it's the exception by far. I didn't even bother looking for a snake-related one. I've learned from past experience (dragons and ferrets) that forums like this are better for real info and less psycho.

The second I realized Fergus was staying in my home I googled "ball python forums." Ta-da! I read 40+ pages of threads, especially all the "help I'm a newbie" threads, before even bothering to make an account.

I forgot I had part of this conversation saved. I'll spare most of the drama, but after I made some husbandry suggestions someone tried really hard to put me in my places since BPs are the same as carpet pythons and noone else disagreed.
