Great suggestion. I find people are always more willing to change how they do things if you address them positively and with helpful, constructive feedback.Originally Posted by EL-Ziggy
It's great that you care Nix. If he's not the kind of guy that takes constructive criticism well you may be able to reach him through an act of kindness. Tell him how nice his snakes are and that you hope to add a RTB to your collection one day. Discuss husbandry techniques. Listen to his opinion and share what works well for you. Ask if you and you friend can handle the snakes and politely offer to clean the enclosures. It may trigger him to take more pride in the care of his animals. If not, at least you tried.
It's not guaranteed to work all the time but maybe he'll think back on that one thing someone told him about boa care one time and he'll think "eh, I'll give it a shot."
