"Less than seasoned" snake owners

[Eric Alan]

There is also a difference between critique and knowing everything (or thinking you do) I don't know everything about keeping snakes, never claimed to, but I know that the way I keep my ball seems to work fine.

Again, I agree with your premise. I really do. A phrase that honestly makes me nauseous, though, is anyone saying "we've always done it this way and it works for us". To me it says they're either too ignorant to think of ways to improve, or too lazy to try. "We've always done it this way" is never EVER a good reason to keep doing something.
