I Know Ya'll Mean Well...

[KingWheatley]

Yes. Ya'll. Kentucky has grown on me, ok?

Anyways, I know the majority of people mean well. I've been told to not post literally everything that happens to my snake, simply because the majority of the time people don't post about their mistakes when they make them. (And they do. Even experienced owners make mistakes.)

The thing is... it's good to post about mistakes, because it helps others see that mistakes do happen, and for those people who are searching it up, it helps them understand that they aren't the only ones who made this mistake.

It's very common on the internet for a pet owner to be demonized for their mistakes on the internet, because the internet is so full of experts, it's difficult to be normal.

It's not just snake handling. It's horses. It's dogs. It's cats. It's kids. The list is literally endless.

Here's another important thing to know:

If someone is arguing against what you say, thing is.... even if they disagree with you they still had to read it. So that information you gave them is sticking into their brain.

I work security at a hospital. Part of my training is understanding that just because people say "eff you" and argue with you, doesn't actually MEAN anything. Because sometimes, they'll argue and say "eff you" BUT THEY WILL STILL DO WHAT YOU ASKED....

Yea, that person, particularly if they are an incredibly prideful person (I know I am) will drag their heels in for show, and be as stubborn as a mule. But when nobody's looking will follow advice.

In saying this, I want to formally apologize to everyone I have wronged on this site. I meant no harm towards any of you. And I do apologize sincerely for lashing at you for simply showing concern for my little ball python.

Looking back, I do not regret joining this site, or asking the questions I did, but I do regret not being open minded and acting so childishly.

I'm not leaving. I do hope I can refresh my stay here with everyone.

Thank you for your time
~Natalie
