Do me a favor and pick up a book. Or go to your herp vet. Yes, its unlikely for a snake to choke but it is certainly possible.

I actually work with several herp vets for a variety of reasons....I'm confident that they will concur that you are spewing BS. I'm also confident that most people here can smell what you're peddling.

Aren't you the person who doesn't have a herp vet within 80 miles of you?

Think before you post. Crap like you posted causes a lot of new people a lot of unfounded concerns.

Now please...block me. No need to expose yourself anymore to my trolling.

I have a herp vet down the street. I don't have a reptile specialty store for roughly 80 miles. Go ahead and ask them, or give me an email address, I'd be happy to send them an email. This post had started with my concern on the amount of substrate my snake was ingesting, and snowballed into a much bigger argument.


If you don't like the level of concern I have over my snake, then don't read my posts, and don't comment.

A lot of new snake owners have the same concerns, which is why I post things like this. And it's people like you, who think they know everything about everything, that make me feel bad for the people on this site who legitimately have concerns for their snakes.

And the crap that you post causes new owners to not worry about something that could be a legitimate concern.

The "crap" he I and others post, Stops new owners from worrying about things that are little to no concern.

In all seriousness, a snake swallowing a little substrate is nothing to worry about. UNLESS..................................
You are using broken glass and metal shavings as substrate.

Also, didn't you state that you went to Vet school, with a focus on Herpetology ???? So you should know this stuff .

Oh really?

Remember this thread?

don't remember ever saying that I've never used the techniques you're talking about, in 2004 we owned a RTB, and we used all kinds of techniques with her. She grew to be 7 feet and was the only snake I'd ever known that liked children. That's where my fascination started. I live in an area where certain things, that people suggest, aren't available, so i suggest options that I know are available to me, and I'm told they're moronic ideas (not from you, but from others as well). The only exotic animal vet near me is almost 80 miles away, and the nearest reptile pet store is 4 miles from the vet, so I try to come up with options that may be a little unorthodox, but work. The "pet store" near me (about 2 miles) sells small animals and normal pet supplies but nothing for reptiles, and in an emergency, sometimes ordering online isn't an option.

Liar.

Go sit in the corner before you embarrass your self further.
