this is why we dont feed live

[angllady2]

I am sure you mean well. But you are going about it in a very negative way. First of all, this is a large and well established community of ball python owners and breeders. We know the risks of feeding live, and when we feed live we do it in the right way and this sort of thing never happens.

Second of all, trying to preach to a large group of people who have been raising and caring for these snakes for many years by telling them things they already know in a patronizing manner is not a good way to make friends.

I do appreciate you wanting to educate people on how dangerous irresponsible live feeding is, but I gently suggest you seek out places where people perhaps have not had a lot of experience with snakes and help them to understand what it means to be a responsible keeper.

Choose your words carefully, present your ideas in a gentle manner, offer advise in a pleasant way, and you will be welcomed pretty much anywhere.
