So am I to assume by what you're telling me that if you had a sick animal that would rather be left alone, you would not take it to the vet because it doesn't like to be on a car ride? Give me a break! I was trying to get advice on them because I am worried that the female is not growing. NOT because I wanted to go on a joy ride with my snakes!
I wanted to take her to someone who saw what size she was in January, and can see what size she is today and CONFIRM that it's normal (which is exactly what happened) instead of taking the word of a group of people who had not done either. Nobody here even mentioned the possibility that she may have parasites.

And no, I would not send my snakes to school with lice. They're too young and don't fit their itty bitty backpacks yet.

A little too seriously, yes. Especially when you Ass-u-me that the person asking the questions hasn't done ANY research before getting a pet and doesn't take the care of their pet seriously simply because they are asking the question in the first place. I get they should not live together. I COMPREHEND it. No need to repeat it. You seem to be assuming that I am rejecting that tidbit of advice by the simple fact that it keeps getting repeated and each time more angrily still.

If all of you gurus knew everything, they why would this message board exist? Just because a person who was not a member yesterday, joins today to ask a series of questions, does not automatically put them in the Ignorant Impulse Buyer Know Nothing category. I do know a thing or two about reptiles. I had a bearded dragon for 10 years and I took good care of it. Thanks to my eagerness to learn about my pets and nonstop quest for more information. He lived 10 years and was well cared for. He got new bulbs every 6 months, he got fresh food every day, he got a good habitat and NEVER got sick. Despite never getting sick, I took him to the vet now and again just to make sure he was OK. Being as reptiles don't talk and all......

Don't preach to me about what is important. Don't assume I'm an idiot. Don't talk down to me.

If you truly want to help these animals you claim to love, then don't antagonize their owners. If you drive me away from this site, then the only thing that suffers is those snakes.

Actually, you know what ? Screw you hippies. I'll go back to that "other" herp site for my advice, thankyouverymuch.

Ciao!
