Great video. The one thing i didnt take away from it was ignoring husbandry. What i think his point was is that instead of trashing someone on it we educate them on proper husbandry. Look every single person that owns a snake had to learn from hands on. Sure you can research all ya want and google everything but until you do it hands on you dont learn it. And if anyone who owns a snake sits here and says they have done everything perfect from day one then im throwin up the bs card.

Although I agree that ignoring husbandry is a no-no, I don't think that's what he was trying to say. I think he was saying (and this is what I took away from the video) is that instead of telling someone "Oh man! You are a HORRIBLE snake keeper! I mean, look at all the things you are doing wrong; only an idiot would keep a snake like that!" he was trying to say that we should educate people in a kind way.

I think this board is unique in it's ability to be kind to complete and total beginners instead of ripping them a new one when they can't figure out why their snake isn't shedding right or is kept in the wrong kind of enclosure. But I can't say that about other boards....I think his overall message in that part of the video was to just be nicer to each other.

Oh, I know it's not what he meant, I'm just not sure that no one will THINK that's what he meant. It's a minor thing, really. The actual intended message is great.
