I wish I would've known about places like this. I had my original male for about 6 years before I found this site. 6 years of tanks, unregulated heat, no thermo or hygro's, stuck and flaky shed, etc. I found this site because I noticed a dent in his eye, I posted about it, was told it was dehydration, argued that it was an injury, gave in and took the advice I was given and the dent was gone. After that I realised that the people here might know what they're talking about. I got a thermo/ hygro, set his temps and humidity to the recommended ranges in the caresheet here and started feeding him more than once a month. He started improving immediatly. His colors were nicer, he was growing again, he came out at night to hunt etc. Unfortunatly I was still was still arrogant in a lot of my ways, and I made a fool of myself at least a few times.
Not too recently I realised my arrogance, gave up my stubborness, and I forgot everything I thouht I knew. Since then I've been mostly lurking here, reading, and using this as reference to learn about new practices so I can put them into effect on my own snakes and see the real life results for myself. I feel like I've gained a ton of experience (with lots to gain) because of this site and the people on it, and I don't know what I would've done without it. It's definitely the best thing that has ever happened to me and my animal.
I've even learned a lot about myself with the help of this site. And I'd like to thank everyone here for the information you have put on this site and for being so helpful. I feel you have all indirectly made me a better person. So thank you everyone.
