    Re: worst belly rot... what do i do?

This is the truth. And I'm sure Some would agree. Say as you wish But I offered advice. I saw a snake die because the people wouldn't give it up after leaving it in its tank for 2 months. They wouldn't surrender it or bring it to a vet. And animal control did squat. Why is it when a pet gets sick then we feel obligated to do something? Why not take responsibility and prevent the whole mess to begin with. I'm upset that so many people sit around and don't take care of their pets and then are surprised when it gets sick. What did they expect? That is the truth. Don't have a pet if you can't take care of it. I have a right to my opinion as do others. Whether I am right or wrong I can voice my opinion. No more arguing.

    Despite what some think I do genuinely care about the snake in this situation.
    I never said you don't care. If you didn't care you wouldn't care if the snake lives or dies but based on your angry reaction, you obviously care.

    Part of the problem with the internet is that people lose their sense of manners. Would you say what you said to that person's face? If the the answer is no (which I suspect it is) then you shouldn't say it on a forum either.

    What you said in the previous post was attacking the other person. You even went so far as to say give the snake to a rescue! You have absolutely no right to say/demand that from anyone especially since you do not know this person personally. How do you know what their situation is? This person could be an 11-year old kid who is scared out of his mind that hes going to lose his snake! You don't know! I understand that you have seen a snake die from this before, but instead of using that experience to justify your attacking statements, why not try putting things in a more positive and polite light?

    Finally, please keep voicing your opinion! It is your right but may I suggest a more polite tone? No one enjoys being attacked when they realize that they made a mistake and want/need help. The criticism can come after we get this problem solved!

    Now, back on track:

    Any updates?
