I visit another ball python forum (which I will not name) and it drives me nuts some of the BP owners.

You can tell by the typing and shorthand that the forum has mostly teenagers to early 20's, because they write like they are IMing each other.

Then one writes that he just got his BP and wants to know why she keeps hissing at him and balling up in his hand when he waves his other hand in front of her.......thunk......!

And another tells people... you can let your temps drop to the 60's at night, no problem.

And another writes in to say she thinks her snake may have scale rot or mites and should she use neosporin on it and gets offended when I don't answer her question but suggest that she get her snake to a vet, that we certainly can't diagnose sight unseen and besides that, no one on that forum is a herp vet!

I feel so sorry for the snakes owned by these people. I don't know why I keep going back, maybe hoping that I can share some of what I've learned from you guys and save a BP life or two.
