My thoughts exactly, man. it definitely threw me for a loop when he said it, and they left a message for me today asking if I'd "updated her temps to their recommendations" like I don't even want to pick up the phone now, thank you bye.

"well tttaylorrr, it mimics their natural environment!"
there's nothing "natural" about my snakes living in boxes in my bedroom with thermostats, heaters, fake plant and temperature gauges.

"They're not the smartest, so some stuff you kind of have to do for them or they hurt themselves."
how exactly does dropping temperatures help them?
"what if they're hot!?"
they know where their cool side is, and regulated temperatures make any "too hot" scenario non-existent.

stay far, far away from that vet.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING WHAT I WAS THINKING I've been frustrated for two days now trying to articulate everything and this pretty much sums it up. Don't like him. Don't want to go back. :/
