I know vets that don't realize initial terms for illnesses. It happens and everyone was new once. The length of time you've owned something doesn't mean you know what you're doing. After all, we've all heard of ball pythons being kept in a tank with no heat for years and still alive. Does that mean that it's right? No, it means they've been doing it wrong for a long time. You can own animals for decades and be a noob to proper care.

Only education can fix it.
it had nothing to do with superior knowledge.
i dont even want the snake..the way it was kept didnt look right and that's what prompted me to even talk ask him..and there was no reason for me to continue talking to him..i dont want the burm nor do i know him so its no concern of mine really
