I also don't mean to offend anyone on these boards, but I agree that you do need to be blunt sometimes to get the point across. Sugar coating what could be a serious problem could make that person more nonchalant about an issue. By no means am I an expert, but I've had several years of taking care of snakes and I feel I have a good grasp on keeping my snakes happy and healthy.
I just feel like before you should have a pet you should pretty much know the in's and out's of taking care of it. You should do as much research as possible and be prepared. Granted, when you get the pet, everything changes... things happen that is unexpected. But I mean you aren't going to feed your newborn on a shelf because it wants to be there. You put your child in a safe place and feed them. It's just common sense.
I'm not trying to ruffly feathers and I don't think there is a "wolf-pack" mentality... I just think there are some people who are very blunt because they are concerned about the well-being of the snakes.
