    I understand that the world is a brutal place that reinforces "survival of the fittest" but I don't see how that helps the pet snakes that belong to owners needing help if they're too intimidated to get answers & help from us here. If their first post is met with derision for adding to an old thread, is it likely they'll make a second? Some will, but I also fear that too many won't.
    Right, I've said a couple of times that there's a reason I left a nameless other site to come here. The community is just better. I like to think we're all firm when we need to be, and forgiving when it's warranted. I've seen a lot of people display a level of patience with new keepers on here that you just won't get anywhere else.

    We can really sell this community if we all just put the effort in.
