...Well, the majority of my reply dealt with the other part of your post but you're only replying to my last sentence. Like I said, maybe I just have a thick skin, but I really didn't see anything that offensive in this thread.
People on this forum can be blunt, especially when it comes to things that might stress or harm a snake, and that's what I was talking about. It's better for people to discuss and be blunt about things than to let someone carry on stressing their animals for their own benefit just because they don't want to ruffle any feathers.
