    Hah, not gonna lie that was kinda hot.

    And ya, that's what bugs me. If we want to discuss the merits of doing so vs not doing so, that's fine. State our preferences, that's fine. But to act like this is something you have to pick a side on, or to try to make people feel silly for doing? There is literally no downside, and an unknown but possible upside, how could anyone possibly be anything less than neutral about someone else doing this??

    This kinda reminds me of something I did ages ago - although I used them successfully in the past, I had heard of people losing snakes to mite treatments (pesticide-based) and decided to try using predatory mites to treat my snakes. It worked great, it didn't cost much more than a conventional treatment, and my snakes were not directly exposed to pesticides, which I felt carried a small but unknown potential risk. I posted about it on a forum, sharing my experience, and people actually got kinda mad and confused and to this day I don't understand it.
