giggles without good husbandry makes me wonder how they survive in the wild for millennia?LOLOLOL?? that is why when someone says something about someone's husbandry it just gets me giggles because they cannot see what the snake would have lived like otherwise (in the wild...) that is why when i remove and eyecap with terrycloth i do not burst a head gasket because they would have to scrub it on bark or dirt gravel or what have you, germs, pathogens,parasites etc and other painful dangerous things so a lil massage with a towel doesn't scare me much...I mean HOW ON EARTH DID THEY LIVE WITHOUT US all of those years??? LOLOLOLOLOLOL my answer to that is THEY ARE TOUGHER THAN WE GIVE THEM CREDIT just like children... thanx for all the good info thanx for the info that wasn't so impressive i value all who contribute intelligence and research weather lived or read...many thanx...
