If you look a couple posts back youll see the snake is handled for 5 hours a day....
If your a 20 year snake keeper im sure you understand what might be common sense to us isnt common sense to unexperienced keepers. Im a 29 year owner of burms and balls and im amazed at the craziness i see on here everyday. Cripe today someone thought they bought a Corn Snake and its a Hatchling Albino Burm. I feel bad for that animal in the hands of a teen when they cant take care of it.
I'm doing my best to learn as much as I can about how to care for my baby. I'm not some young teen who who thinks I know everything there is to know about snakes. Yes, right now I know I'm in way over my head, but you have to start somewhere. I'm doing everything I can to make things right for him. I just need to get him through this shed and healthy on the other side. I will learn from my mistakes and not repeat them going forward. I can promise that much. Thanks for the advice. Everything helps at this point.
