Are you nutts? I agree that some people could be nicer but to say it sounds like he is on the right track is just irresponsible. What we do not want to do is scare the OP away. It sucks that he went out and bought an 8' snake instead of a hatchling or maybe a blood python (looks impressive but can't kill you) but if he has made up his mind to do this lets be nice, gain his confidence and talk him into a hatchling so at least he will have a place to turn for the help he will need. If he continues to talk to other keepers he will have an easier time finding the people near him who can help as his snake becomes a monster. Also, if we are "mean" to him he will not listen to pleas to get a baby first or any other advice. A lot of good advice has been given but the psychological noise alongside that advice has made it impossible for him to recognize it. More flies with honey.Originally Posted by azpythons
