    Usually the same room as the reptiles.

    Definitely a typo. The decimal should be added though!
    I'll probably forget by the time you've read this...

    I take it you're in the U.K. so it falls on you to take issue & get them to correct this dreadful misinformation, before people see it, believe it & kill their snakes. That actually might be the intention of someone with a hatred of reptiles? I've never seen anything quite so extremely wrong & dangerous. FYI- everyone- 350* C converts to 662* F !!!!! Please contact that site immediately- such temperatures are equivalent to putting your pets in an oven- they won't survive.

    Yeah you’d think they would notice the first and not make the same typo over and over, I’ve emailed the vet as it’s dangerous to have the information like this.

    Already emailed them as soon as I saw it I was like Jesus, I was looking for a new vet to get my snakes registered at but I will not be using them as clearly the care and attention to detail for information they put out is non existent

    Yeah, I can't imagine trusting any prescription they'd write or dosage they'd administer. Some jobs, ya just gotta have math skills!

    I don't know how it would be a typo, even with a decimal those temps would be way off. Seems like somebody made a giant screw up. That is way, way too hot to even cook food.

    Maybe they have an employee (or ex?) with a grudge, trying to make them look incompetent & crash their practice? I'd say it's working.

    Re: Just saw this information

    Well the reason I was looking on them is because they advertise as exotic pets specialists with reptile experience seems the care and attention is 0, back to drawing board finding a specialist vet

    Re: Just saw this information

    I'd be curious FIRST to hear their explanation of this...is it possible they were maliciously hacked? These days, you never know- people with grudges or who think they're being 'funny'? And a busy vet's office may take a while to get to their emails- that's true of MY own vet, so personally, I'd call them A.S.A.P.- if it's what I think, they'll be very grateful you did.
