Symptoms?

[whytepizza]

I missed the bulletin about corns being rear fanged. Could you post that info for me, I like to stay on top of things.

As far as the rest of your statements about the appearance of some species of snakes being similar even though they themselves are quite physiologically different, it's irrelevant.

So what if pygs look like hogs? So what if copperheads resemble other species? Will you now tell me that you treat a light skinned vegan differently than you would a dark skinned carnivore even if both were homo sapiens? Would you treat a chimp differently than you would an ape? They look similar yet are different.

You can treat many hots just like you would rear fanged, or even corn snakes when it comes to medicating.

When you learn some more, and not just how to string words together, even I can do that, then you would be more believable. For now, and really rutgers?, for now, you're not exactly batting 1000.

Tongue flick may well be a SINGLE factor used to determine whether or not an INDIVIDUAL snake is healthy or not and can in GENERAL be used as an observatory tool, but it does NOT indicate an RI.

I notice you made no mention of poop. Are we off the diagnosing RI by poop colour kick too?

Perhaps had you worded your initial attempt at assistance differently, not spoken in absolutes while being absolutely incorrect, then we would not be here with you defending yourself, poorly and me just trying to figure out when corns grew fangs.

Alright, listen, I don't feel an importance to fight with you because you obviously won't listen no matter what i say. I am not attacking you personally yet you are attacking me, if you feel the need to prove me wrong show me documentation that proves what i am saying is wrong. I'd be more than happy to give you plenty of resources, text books, and writings that show what i am saying is right. Research it before you discredit it. If you can show me written evidence of something different i will eat my words (one in the hand is worth two in the bush). I never said you could tell if an animal had an RI through their feces, i said that the color might tell if it has some sickness, i never specified RI or otherwise.
The snakes you asked me about were venomous species. You asked if i researched them and i rebutted by telling you that you cannot compare those species to a hognose and that i am not knowledgeable about those species compared to a hognose. And yes, you would treat a chimp differently than an ape. For one thing they are different sizes, eat different foods, have different habits so their medications and symptoms would vary depending on the individual. It's the same with snakes and with humans! No two snakes are the same, no two people are the same. A vegan who complains of a stomach ache will not be treated for food salmonella poisoning because they would not have contact with it. Someone who likes to eat raw chicken or raw eggs on the other hand may. Treatment and analysis of a disease or sickness is solely by each individual. There are some general similarities within the species, i am just pointing out some in my previous posts.
As for the fangs. Bryan Grieg Fry did research to show that all coulibrids, except for of lampropeltis, pituophis, pantherophis are technically venomous. Any venomous animal has a means to pass the toxin onto another organism.
As for the Rutgers comments you keep making. Yes, Rutgers. Cook Campus which is Cook College. I currently do distance, satellite learning since the time i moved. The University is called: Cook College at Rutgers, School for Environmental and Biological Sciences. Are you going to ask to see my GPA, all my previous exams, the paperwork for my GI bill, and a letter of recommendation, too?
Now, this thread is for helping this person discover what is wrong with their individual snake. I do not like the fact that you are attacking me and my character without giving me any evidence to the contrary of my statements. If you feel the need to argue you are more than welcome to do it privately or start a thread which has a sole purpose of attacking and arguing with me. Heck, you can even entitle it "Why Whytepizza Doesn't Know Jack Crap About Snakes" since you're not outright saying it. I don't care. But this thread is for Ryan and to help him figure out what's wrong with his snake. Nothing said by either you nor I, recently, is of any consequence to his problem so i will ask politely that this argument be finished on a different thread.
Ryan, i am sorry for disrupting your thread. Please, accept my apologies.
