Firstly, I'm not inexperienced, I just am new to the online world; I've never been an internet person. I understand snakes very well and their care. I'm saying snake bought at show with symptoms, died, unknown cause, vet didn't know much besides she thought it was contagious and possibly a parasite. Two other snakes showed symptoms then died. Decided to give a warning that if you see a snake who seems weak, avoid it.

Secondly, I don't see the problem with my use of the word, "circuit." I bought the snake at a show, therefore known as the reptile circuit, and I was just saying be wary, then if anyone else knew anything more. Not declaring it. I use to show horses when I was a child, and we said circuit all the time, so I might have less of a seriousness towards it. In that case, I'm sorry I misused the word.

Thirdly, I understand a freezer would basically not help me at all when it comes to a necropsy, but I did it not even thinking I had to do one until the other snakes started getting sick. I was just freezing it until I could find time to bury it (yes, I bury my snakes).

I'm just as frustrated as all of you when it comes to this. I really was just trying to help by seek more information while warn others of the symptoms. I didn't declare anything. I even said, "WARNING" not "EPIDEMIC."

Again, I'm sorry I even bothered to try to warn. Just forget about it.


P.S I'm not crying wolf, just saying that I heard something howling in the distance then saw yellow eyes in the forest, and decided to give a warning.
