Burns / Infection / Unknown Disease : One of the Worst Snake Owners

[Stewart_Reptiles]

Also feel the need to point this out-- you CHOSE to post this thread, and you were looking to upset and ignite people's temper with it. Well, congrats, you accomplished that, so don't cry when it gets turned on you for basically throwing this situation back in our faces. You shouldn't have posted this in the first place if you didn't plan to do anything about it.

Wait... you did plan to do something? What happened to that idea?

Yeah, keep rolling out excuses.... they're fun to read

The only thing you would be doing alone is calling the relevant people; they will handle the rest.

I'm going to be honest here. You did great with Dave, and I understand that you're young. But quite frankly in this instance I don't care. Age isn't an excuse, and stressed or otherwise, if you turn away here youre in the same boat as them.

You justifying not acting is the same as you justifying the abuse that's taking place. There is literally no reason for you to let this go on, yet that is the choice you're making. You have the ability to save this animal and do the right thing, but you withhold that from a poor suffering creature. And why? Because you don't want to rock the boat? Because you're "stressed"? Gee, I wonder how much stress Scorchmuffin is going through... I'm sure he'll understand.

and before you think "oh, look at that mean old adult picking on a poor 16 year old! put yourself in his shoes!", I'll leave you with this; I'm 19. I still live with my parents. I am enrolled in school full time and I work part time. Big whooping deal that you're stressed, everybody who lives life is. Doesn't keep them from doing the right thing.

Food for the thoughts, YOU are not in HIS shoes whether you are 19, or 30 until you walk a mile in someone's shoes, you will never know what it feels like to be put in such a situation, nor do you have any idea of the implications that can ensue.......why because you are 19 and have very little life experience.

Nixon came here for help as he had in the past, he has proved himself to be someone who truly cares and tries his best (Dave's story is a proof of that), and anyone trying to bully or attack him because he decided to take a step back should take a good look at themselves.

On that this will be the last word on this thread, I believe everything has been said and considering the sudden turn this thread is now

Now move along and go hug a snake.
