For one, I think it's retarded that people would rather sit on their butts waiting for internet responses(from strangers they will most likely never meet) than take their animal to the vet if they are really that unsure of their health. And when they claim that they can't afford vet care, well..... What the heck?! Don't own something you can't afford to care for!
The DIY home amputation thread comes to mind once again..... SMH
That one really was off-putting and foolish.
Not to mention all of the sudden explosion of "experts" that have only had snakes for a few weeks-months.
Many members here have solid input and experience to offer good advice. But I think people need to remember that in the end, no body here is a qualified herp vet.
Rather than such and such advice be "instead of a vet", it should always be "options I can do until I can get to a vet" type of thing.....
