To the OP:
The fact of the matter is that without any evidence to back up your claim and without actually knowing what killed the snake anyway, you are simply spreading husbandry advice that is not sound as it is not based in fact but based on assumptions. I believe that is what got the people posting in protest to post in the first place.

Second, and I hate to say it but its true, if you used proper punctuation and grammer then you would come across as being more educated and maybe people would take you more seriously. That is not me criticizing, it is me trying to offer some help to you on your future posts.

quite hard for me to use correct grammar i am on my iPhone which is horrible for typing on

well i wasn't tying to make assumptions or give bad advice, just something a friend told me i apologize?
to whom this has affected.

[gsarchie]

I don't think that an apology is necessary and I feel that you were trying to do the right thing. In an industry like there where bad advice runs rampant (i.e. ignorant pet store employees, someone saying "hey my friend had snakes. they need blah blah blah, etc.) people are naturally skepitcal about things and want to see evidence to back it up. Thanks for your concern, and the necropsy would be great so that others can see exactly what caused the death and make sure not to recreate the circumstances that killed this snake in their snakes enclosures.

I think some folks need to take a small step back and not be so offended at an attempt to warn about a potential danger. Let's face it, aerosols can be NASTY and if you use one excessively around a snake, it could, potentially, cause some serious problems. Can we say definitively that it killed this particular snake? Of course not. But that doesn't mean the warning is invalid. Take it or leave it...but there's no reason to crucify someone who is just posting an anecdote that might help someone think before fumigating a small space with deodorant or hair spray or air freshener or whatever.

the report like i said we had a brief conversation i don't remember much.

If you don't remember much you shouldn't have come in here and "warned" us. Wai tuntil you have al the informatiom before potentially scaring new BP owners.

I guess my next question is, how much was he spraying? You said 20 seconds. That is a LOT of deodorant! How small is the room? Was it ventilated? I agree with JLC that is is good on you for trying to get a warning out, but I also agree with the others that you need your ducks in a row before presenting such material.

BTW, typing on the iPhone is zero excuse for bad punctuation or grammar. I do it all of the time, and it is indistinguishable from when I am on my laptop.

i have absoloutly no idea what your talking about with the substrate.

Allow me to jog your memory:

my friend had 3 balls use pine shivings all 3 balls died. he used aspen the ball didnt die.

i thought this was meant to be a helpful forum.

This has always been, and will continue to be a helpful forum, however, misinformation, disinformation, and ill formed theories based on rumor are rarely helpful.

Off topic: but, when you say aerosols, was it like an air freshener or a real deo for his beo? & Along with a few others, unlike saying "Pics or didn't happen", I'm saying "Necropsy or it didn't happen".
