There's even a mention of spelling errors. Obviously, good spelling is not required for good husbandry. In my opinion, a courteous pm sent to the op about a spelling error in his sig line would be preferable to a public calling out.

This thread was about the shed anomaly on his snake's head. Its turned into an inquisition about his plans as a breeder. As far as the pre-kill methods, he posted his method for killing the mouse and asked for advice about his method, and received it. Hopefully, he will follow that advice in the future, and I think he probably will.

Sorry for stirring the pot.

The spelling error thing was a bit much really and your solution a much better one I think.

You have a point and I think it's always a good idea to reflect on these things and find the best mid-point. Calling other members out for "bashing" isn't fair to them and their concerns but also how they expressed their concerns may have been a bit on the blunt side or perceived that way by some. It's so very hard for any of us to be understood as we would like when all we have to go on is the written word.

I hope the OP does answers the concerns expressed and feels comfortable asking questions as in the end that's what we are all about around here.
