I think he is just curious. Why do you need to understand why he wants to know something? He has his husbandry down and he is looking to expand his horizons.

It is pretty rare that we get a newbie in here who not only does their homework, but is open to our suggestions and asks questions just for the sake of gaining knowledge.

The venomous analogy is a bit of a reach. Apples and oranges if you ask me. He is just asking for more detailed information on how advanced keepers take care of their BALL PYTHONS. That is nothing like rushing into keeping venomous animals.

Its one thing to feed a newbie information they cannot handle. It is another to deny a newbie the information they asked for specifically. He isn't asking for the best way, he is asking for what we do personally, what works for us. Doesn't mean he is going to change his ways because someone said X and someone else said Y.

There's a whole forum dedicated to advanced husbandry... why are you advocating that he's "done his homework" and that we're denying him information? Why should I bounce up to type out everything I've ever done that isn't on the general caresheet to answer someone who's idea of polite questioning is "I'm calling you out!"? Yes, I used cornsnake to venomous as the worst-case-scenario, but geez. The guy didn't post this thread asking for anything in particular, he just stomped his feet and wanted some attention. No matter how "reasonable" he sounds on a few of the posts, he started the thread to antagonize someone publicly.

He calls himself a newbie in a few different posts. If he wanted to know more, there's tons of threads to read and post on to ask about, or he could post to ask about details of something he's heard of.. but nooo, his idea was this one.
