I am SICK AND TIRED (rant warning)

[RoyalGuardian]

I am so sick and tired of people thinking that they know the proper husbandry and they didn't even do any research. They go off of friend's theoretical advice or the unknowledgeable advice given by a worker at a petstore. I have more and more people on craigslist asking for more ball pythons to " keep their other snake company in its enclosure" and it is MADDENING! I have been called the b-word and worse for trying to correct these people... Some people are even housing males and females together AS A PERMANENT THING!! Even worse- TWO MALES! I am so sick of these idiots guys... I don't know what to do.. In a world where any moron off the street can go and buy a ball python without first doing some research, I am starting to get really really angry. People telling me that I'm a b word and that I have no idea what they are talking about really get to me. THEY are wrong but they don't care enough to change or even listen to reason... I had a chick on craigslist attack me verbally because her friend said it was ok that ball pythons be housed together, another attacked me and called me retarded because their ball pythons "love eachother", and they are all rallying against what is truly right and making this idiocy an epidemic! I can't stand it. Here I am in tears because my snake's nose doesn't look quite right and these idiots who house a barely sexually mature female with a mature male as a permanent thing tell me that I have no clue about ball pythons!? I hopefully have earned your respect as a junior BP keeper but even I as a novice have the knowledge and support from you which makes me more of a semi-expert , I know so much because of you guys. I have been desperately trying to email all these people in hopes of them joining BP.net to help their snakes. they are too stubborn and don't care enough about their animals to even join a free website that could really change their lives. I am not just going to sit here and let something bad happen because someone went on an ego trip. It's not about me being right and them being wrong, its about them being wrong and I want them to learn what the right way is. Its not about me having more knowledge its about passing that knowledge on and these pompous hot heads can't seem to realize that I only want what's best for their snakes( which they obviously don't truly care about themselves). What do I do guys? I've tried reasoning with them, begging them, spamming them everything.. I know you can't win them all but I'm not one of those people who is going to give up because mr. and mrs. know-nothing are sending me hate email and telling me to basically go to hell because I told them that what they were doing was improper care for the animal. I love you guys. I can't tell you how much I value you all as friends. I have a long way to go in my quest to learn all that I can about ball pythons, but at least I have the decency and the responsibility to research about them before and throughout having them as a pet.
