    And I don't necessarily think it reflects badly on our "community"- it's about learning the right from wrong ways, hopefully without duplicating the wrong ones.
    People make mistakes with all kinds of animals- for example, some dogs will react to a stare as threatening, & attack. It's about understanding your animals.

    I'd love to know if she still has this snake though.
    What made the strongest impression on me was how calm she was during the attack. Despite the danger she was in, she was careful not to harm the snake. That really impressed me. So, I would be surprised if she got rid of the snake because of this attack, but there are lots of other reasons to rehome a large retic like, maybe, you can't manage its care. She wouldn't be the first person to think she can manage a retic only to discover that she can't. Did you notice the stuck shed?
