No one should be discouraged. If anything (and if it were me stuck in a heated debate as a rookie) those people would benefit from just reading the husbandry forums so they know exactly how to care for these guys and then just ignore everyone else.
Im sort of a rookie myself. Had many different types of snakes & herps in general many years ago but had an accident and had to get out of it for a long time. Im back & im re learning everything because it changes all the time. What was right back then is no longer right in many eyes.
No reason to be discouraged. In my eyes you're an awesome person for rescuing these guys & doing all you can for them. You have the right idea on how to deal with the forums & the people on them, and you look to be taking great care of these BPs you took in. I looked at the pics in your other post of the first one too.
Keep finding them! They need more people like you around to save them![]()
