    When we feed snakes in their cages, we avoid letting the snake consume the substrate by placing their f/t prey on a paper plate, cardboard box lid or similar item.
    You never want to put the prey on a paper towel or cloth of any kind, as their teeth will catch on it & if they swallow the cloth/towel, they'll need surgery to remove
    it, or they'll die from the indigestible blockage.
    I'm not stupid enough to let her eat the cloth plus if you read it you would know I stopped doing that. By water her cage I mean I take water and put it on the bedding to keep it humid. What else would it mean I pee all over it?? My snake has two water dishes that can't tip over. My snake is still an idiot if she sees anything other then her food she will never find her food. Plus she likes to move her food all around that includes off of whatever it is on and onto the bedding.
    This is NOT about how I feed my snake if you have a problem with it then fine! Move on this isn't the post for you.

    Nobody said you were stupid. You were offered advice about the cloth from an experienced keeper. If things like this were never said, then people would never learn. You yourself stated that you put cloth down. So, that shows that you've still got learning to do.

    For what it's worth, I didn't know what "water her cage" meant either. Although I hardly thought you'd pee in it. No need to be a wise-guy. It could have meant change the water in the water bowls, mist the substrate for humidity, etc...

    You ASKED FOR HELP. If you can't handle constructive criticism maybe you shouldn't ask questions on a public forum...your title was "I need help with my BP : (" after all.
    So, if you ask for help, accept it or move on.

    No one said you were stupid, but by the same token, your snake is not "an idiot" either! In calling her that, you demonstrate YOUR "shortcomings", not hers.

    Not to worry, I'm done offering you any suggestions.
