RT Boa or Burmese Python that is the question

A person cannot misquote you when they use the quote button. We responded to what you typed, simple as that. If you wish to be understood fully, explain fully by typing the words you want us to actually read. Last I heard we had a lot of great snake folks here but we're a tad short on the mindreaders.

I think you are missing the point. YOU are getting upset because we are challenging YOUR point of view. There are many people here from all different walks of life and all different parts of the country telling you the exact same thing... but you refuse to listen and stand by your convictions.

So, okay... in a way, I can respect that. Still... when many different people are saying the same thing, maybe it would do well to listen?

I'm going to take a step back. I'm getting frustrated and clearly you are as well. So, let's come to a compromise...

I don't expect you to turn completely around and say "Yes, you're all right and I'm wrong." That's not the way this works. We all learn from every encounter. We change ourselves based on the information and experiences we take away.

What I do expect is for you to at least CONSIDER that we might be at least somewhat correct. Mites are not a good thing... yes, they may be easy to treat, but they still indicate that something is wrong. If you still really want this snake, please consider moving the cage far away from the rest of your collection so they do not get mites as well. Also, please take the snake to a vet immediately to determine if this is it's only problem. Mites CAN spread disease and it would do you and the snake well to get him/her checked.

All of here on the forum LOVE animals. We wouldn't be here if we didn't. The fact that you were teasing this animal in anyway gets our backs up. It sounded as if you did more than wave your hand in front of it... but if that's all you did, I will back away. Pleaes do not tease these animals but poking them or prodding them. In all honesty, in this profession you ARE going to get bit. It happens in ANY profession that deals with animals. If you do not want to get bit, do not work with animals (or children for that matter ).

Also, please consider taking a step back and consider purchasing another animal. I'm not sure why you have such a big problem with shipping, but most of here have purchased animals off line with very little problems. If all of us can do it safely, and we all care for our animals immensely... maybe it's not so wrong???


All of on this forum have, at one time or another, come to a disagreement with other members of this forum. It happens. It's a free country... GOD BLESS AMERICA. We have the right to say what we want, and we have the right to get angry when someone says something we don't like. However, we are also human... and we have the ability to learn from our experiences, and better our situations---and that of the people and animals we care for.

Please, before you get angry... take a step back, and consider the fact that you might be a little bit wrong, we might be a little bit right, and we are only trying to help.

Yes I will , Thank You
I'm really glad that somebody sees my point.
I'll make my decision for this animal on site and will do everything necessery to make sure it is indeed healthy (if/when) I purchase it and does not spread disease and parasites to my other animals. Be sure of that , including a trip to the vet.

SECOND OF ALL you guys have no idea on how I'am raising my snakes yet you waste no time in making impulsive judgements and get upset when a new member chalanges your point of view.
That is why like many others here I hate forums because at the end it is always the same old thing. I will admit that I've learned a lot of things from this forum. However most of the responses in this thread today have proven to be detrimental to the values of this forum and I honestly feel that I have wasted my time here with this question.

Not to drag up harsh feelings or anything, but this seems to be the mantra of any person that finds themselves being disagreed with on this site lately. Sounds like they're regurging the hate speech. And also, how have you challenged us and our points of view? Being cautious is not a point of view, it's good practice.

I didn't know so many people that are on this forum actually hate it.

And I also didn't know giving sound advice was detrimental, whether it was agreed with or not.

You people are missing the whole point and are miquoting everything I say in this thread.
FIRST OF ALL where in the world do you see that I harmed that snake or any my snakes. I'am tired of this nonsense people !!!!!!!!!!
All I did was a simple test for deffensive aggression by waving the palm of my hand in front of him.

If you don't like it stop asking for our advice.

I think you are missing the point. YOU are getting upset because we are challenging YOUR point of view.

That is exactly the problem.
