You'd be surprised at how many times we've gotten posts here from people with snakes asking our help for medical care that's neither possible or advisable (much less ethical) online because "they cannot afford a vet". We just don't want you (or anyone else) to get "in over their head"- it's easy to do that- we all know how enticing herps are.
oh yes i absolutely appreciate this - as of now i am still within my paygrade, even accounting for emergency care which i have started a savings for and my money situation will greatly improve once i finish mortuary school
