Think about books on cat care - lots of horrifying things that could happen, but many cats live their lives with only minor issues.
The same goes for reptile care - books and care sheets, etc. tell you all the terrible things that could happen. But most of our scaly babies aren't falling sick or getting hurt every time we turn around. The discussions here are a lot like that too; snakes that are eating and excreting and healthy just don't generate much discussion. There's a lot of threads about things going wrong because there's a lot of people with a lot of snakes here. And many of the threads are "I'm worried"/"that's normal behavior/they'll do X on their own schedule" subjects - like adult BPs fasting in winter, or a couple weeks ago when there were 2-3 poop threads.
