Having joined these forums when I first got my baby snake and throughout the past two years or so I have learned that you’ll get a lot more help and respect when you’re open to being told things you might ‘already know’. There is always more to learn, and sometimes the things we think we know very well are actually incorrect, or not the full story. Or sometimes there’s just a more effective way of doing something.Originally Posted by Polamalu

People here may be blunt sometimes and you just have to be okay with it and recognize it’s with the best intentions. And if you do something like not explain what you know, the set up you have, equipment you have, steps you have taken and instead just say ‘I know what to do’ or ‘It’s under control’ without actually communicating what those things are - ESPECIALLY when you’re bringing home a baby and/or first snake - you’ll either get backlash or just get ignored. Be humble. There’s always more to learn and if you’re not open to that you are not going to get very far. I recommend rethinking how you want to approach asking for help / advice and try again. Approaching things in this manner will not only not get you very far, but also will result in worse care for your snake because you weren’t willing to learn and hear new things that will teach you how to better care for him/her. Your attitude not only affects you but it affects your pet’s wellbeing as well.
There is likely a more effective way to post a sticky link here so if anyone knows please feel free to let me know!
But next time you want to ask for advice P L E A S E follow this sticky note:

And make sure you browse the sticky notes in general. Browse through them. It’s somehow amazing that there’s things that we didn’t know we didn’t know.
