I don't get why people like to buy pets when they can't afford to take care of them. Get the money, then the pet.

The Heat Pad isn't On 24/7 Its on a Timer.. And I can't Use it Outside the Tank.

We have been Using the Same Heating Pad for almost a year now with no Problems.. And There is No way to use one on the outside of the Tank.

sorry But im Not using it Improperly. The Tank Doesn't have a Glass Bottom, and i dont keep my snakes in Plastic Bins either, So there is NO WAY for it to stick to anything.. When I have the Money to Convert his Tank, he will Have a Sticky Heating Pad on the bottom of his tank just like my other snake does.

Like i said in the last post **When I have the Money to Convert his Tank, he will Have a Sticky Heating Pad on the bottom of his tank just like my other snake does** And i can't post pictures, my phone is broken.. I also never said i wasn't going to take your advice. I only posted this thread to try to get an answer or help on why my snake was being aggresive, not to be told that what im doing is wrong. Im not new to Snakes.. but yea Thanks for Your Advice.

Um hey EVERYONE! I think she GOT THE MESSAGE! She said it repeatedly. So, quit repeating what others have already posted about. Also, don't tell her not to get offensive when you're being so negative towards her. She got it, she said they were going to fix it when they could.Be positive and supportive instead of demeaning, it works better when someone is asking for help and advice, not criticism. I'm not trying to start an argument, but she is trying, build her up instead of putting her down.

I labelled in red what I perceived as not "getting the message". Yes, she said she was going to make changes, which is great, but then again she's also telling everyone that she is not using an unregulated UTH incorrectly. Like I stated, no one was in any way attacking her. Sometimes the harsh truth is the only way to show stubborn people what's wrong. Defensive behavior sometimes is because of incorrect husbandry. It was stated, very early on, and she dismissed it because she's "not new to keeping snakes". Others, like myself, chimed in to just reiterate that fact. No need to scold us

Okay, then I'll quote you...

You said yourself you don't have the money.

Pretty sure you said it yourself.

But I will answer your question: your snake is aggressive because he's uncomfortable, much like other posters have said. He might be hungry too if he's striking; it is okay to feed more than twice a month. Bps by the way aren't arboreal so you don't need vines and branches necessarily. He probably climbs them to get off the heat. Get a thermostat from Amazon, hydrofarm works for cheap, a herpstat/VE works for more money. Go to reptile basics for the pricey, more reliable ones.

So you don't have the money. That is my point. You should have had the tank converted BEFORE getting the snake.

If plexiglass isn't cheap there then you should have saved up and waited, been responsible instead of putting an animal that can't care for itself in danger. I am guessing from your attitude toward people that are trying to help you that you are very young, and at this point you aren't going to listen. Just take into consideration that EVERYONE here is telling you the same thing, if you were taking care of your snake properly don't you think at least one person would have said your setup was fine?

I'm going to bow out now, people like you irk me to no end. I'll just end up getting myself banned.

I'll watch for your post on the Rainbow Bridge.

Then you don't have the money...

This is ridiculous. This thread needs to die because obviously nothing we say is going to convince this person he/she is in the wrong. I know their type. NOTHING can be said to change it. It is like arguing with an angry customer on a power trip/adrenaline rush. You can't talk sense into them. I'm done here. Good luck, I suppose.

AKedit: Jess, that is a thermoMETER!!!!!!!!! NOT a thermoSTAT!!!! There is a MAJOR difference.
