This is the OP’s mother, you know the under qualified vet tech that should know better than to treat at home because we would kill the poor snake. First, the tank was set up as per the breeders suggestion and has since been modified to make up for the misinformation she was given setting up his tank. Second, while my child commented on the high cost of veterinary care she would not have been permitted to acquire the pet if we did not have the means to properly care for him. Third and most importantly , Louie is doing well in spite of the fact that not one person offered a constructive comment to aid in his treatment. Attached is a photo of his tail showing how well he is progressing in spite of our “inadequate” at home care. Go back under your hides and think twice before you strike out at another poor young poster seeking to learn from more experienced reptile owners. Everyone knows kids like to hear things from a source other than their parents. Offer your knowledge to educate them, don’t tear them down and belittle them so they stop asking questions.
