Am I doing ok for my BP?

[Wrp0101]

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate you answering in an understanding way as well as your honesty.

Moving forward, it really is best to leave the snake at home, though. As you mentioned, yes people unfortunately are afraid of snakes, but that's really not the main issue. The main issue is that snakes are not social animals and nothing positive can be gained by bringing your pet with you. As keepers, it's our responsibility to do best by our animals, and snakes do best when left at home.

I appreciate your excitement and enthusiasm for your new pet, but unfortunately, bringing her with you is putting your desires above her best interest.

Again, thanks for your reply. I do appreciate it (too many people take it far too personally when they ask questions and hear the truth and don't hear exactly what they want to hear).

You ever drive a truck with a BP wrapped on your wrist? Load /unload said vehicle in 85 degree heat with a hoodie while having to carefully consider your every move and lift in an attempt not to stress or even worse smash your pet? I have trouble seeing the same desire you apparently see. You might get some of those responses cause instead of replying to the issue or go on and on about what alarms people and don't say much in the way of maybe it could be this or that. I'm not trying to jump on you or nothing like that, this has seemed to be a great forum so far and has helped me numerous times along the way, before coming here I checked numerous other websites some said basking temp of 96 one recommended a heat rock and I believe I seen something about using pine bedding but I knew that was a no go from breeding rats and mice. But the point of the matter is if I thought it was ok to be doing all this, I probably wouldn't have made a post here bring my concern to a forum of BP owner/ breeders. As I said in the OP the only reason I allowed her to stay out so often is because she fights with me when I go to put her back, it's not like I can ask her what her problem is it's just obvious her enclosure is an issue I just didn't know what. Don't get me wrong I'm not taking it personally, I know your telling me the truth the first reply ensured me of that, and your right I'm not hearing exactly what I want cause I want to hear from people who are kind enough to try and help me and Ramona with this situation. No offense but 2 replies basically saying the same thing and never coming within the ball park of the issue it's just conversation and not even a good one at that.
