adopted a ball python new here a bit scared

(somehow you think that it would be better for me to abandon my OBVIOUSLY very happy snake for a dog or cat just because YOU dont agree that he is enjoying himself. Rather than being ecstatic that he is actually happy.

What kind of logic is that?)

"The type of logic that is correct."

ok, you are useless and a horrible person, i dont want your advice.

You don't need to abandon "BB," I'm sure you could find someone on this site close to you that would offer to take him in if you are not feeling confident.

I think you two are feeling quite confident though. However I also think that your new found confidence in owning your snake will be short lived.

Continued and excessive handling that you believe your snake enjoys, may very well stress out your snake and cause him not to eat for you anymore.

When that happens, you will either not ask for advice thinking you can handle it on your own, which after long enough may be detrimental to your snake. Or you will come back for advice, and I'm sure some people here will attempt to give you some advice again, but others may remember this thread and how well trying to give you advice went in the past. If you do not agree with someone else's opinion, you might try being a bit more polite about it. Though you really should listen to the good advice that you are given, as many of the people on this site have much more experience than you do.

Just because this is the internet, does not mean that you get to be snotty to someone just because you cannot see them, and they cannot see you. Insulting other users and the entire forum at that, will not get you far either, and people already are not taking you seriously because of your lack of nettiquete. Asking for advice, then tossing it out and calling it incorrect and insulting the person who gave you the advice you asked for, then asking another question will not earn you any respect, and it may keep people from even attempting to advise you when you ask for help in the future. Please keep this in mind while you are typing out further posts. If you feel like you cannot respond in a civil and respectful manner, log out, cool down, and come back when you have better gathered your thoughts and can respond in a non-inflammatory manner.
