How to tell if hurt/stuck?

Yea... no. You really didn't understand what I said.

I did not have them before Deborah told me to get them.

I got them as a temporary replacement while I fixed his actual tank. While her suggestion was to keep him in this, I still disagree that it is the only option. *eyeroll* And I'm allowed my own opinion on this. And I will continue to shovel my heels in on this because it's absolutely false that it is the only way to house your snake.

It's EXACTLY like claiming that a captive bred fox belongs ONLY outside because his natural instincts. No. a captive bred fox can be raised indoors if enrichment is given and if outside is a crowded neighborhood with dogs. It's EXACTLY like saying there is only ONE way to raise a kid. Or a dog. Or a horse.

But here we go. *gets out my popcorn.* I spoke out against a popular individual on this site who is knowledgeable in her own right however stubborn in her own way. I may not be able to ignore the people who are so fixated on repeating the last bit of information they heard that made sense that they would ignore all else. *munch munch munch*

And then once I fixed his tank, which works just fine, I threw out the sharp edged plastic saucers I CUT MYSELF because they could HURT him.

-_-

But please. Do continue.

Wow. Take a chill pill.

I suggest the flower pot saucer because I personally know MULTIPLE people that use them and because they are dirt cheap. You said you had been worried about the lizard hide for DAYS but had to wait till you got paid. So I suggested the cheapest option for a hide your snake would LIKE and that would be SAFE. That way, ya know, you wouldn't have to leave something you thought was dangerous in with your beloved pet.

Then you brought up another poster. My confusion was because I had absolutely no clue why she was being brought up as she had NOTHING to do with my initial post, my suggestion of a flower pot saucer had NOTHING to do with her. So yeah. I had no idea why you were harping on about her. I've known snake keepers who've used them long before I ever found this site. I used them for my lizards. When they are properly set up there are no sharp edges.

Actually, I believe I even said there is nothing wrong with having a display tank. Just that they aren't optimal for hatchlings as they are so easily stressed out. An opinion I formed while working in exotics retail and dealing with dozens and dozens of juvenile BPs and based on the education and opinions of the small team of reptile vets that store used...
