Time for me to weigh in here. I am the main care giver for Shadow. I did extensive research before I even got him and I appreciate the advice I have received when I first got him, and will always appreciate it. I know Shadow isn't stressed out. He is a VERY happy snake. His set up has been the same since we got him. I make sure he has fresh water, is fed when he wants to eat and his tank is kept clean. I asked Jess to post on here to get some insight as to why he would suddenly turn the way he did. A year and a half and suddenly strikes. Was a big shock (second time, but first was my fault)
I really can't believe people had the nerve to mention the rainbow bridge or make it seem like we are abusing him. When he went off feeding for three months I was very upset, wasting tons of money trying to get him to eat. Used many tricks I found on here to achieve this as well. Hell, when he finally ate I was in tears I was so happy. So reading some of the stuffs that was posted in this pisses me off greatly. Mainly the stuff posted by mackynz.
To everyone that posted useful advice, thank you very much. To the others that were just ignorant idiots, piss off........
