So on to dehydration. Again, I never said everyones collection. Not sure why you seem to need to put words in my mouth. I said most. Low level dehydration is almost undetectable to the average keeper because they do not know what the signs are. Like mentioned, sitting in empty water dishes and even soaking in full ones is a clear sign. The thing is, low level dehydration takes a long time to kill a reptile. Is slowly chips away at the renal system and eventually causes failure. It can take years but eventually does the damage. I will bet that the huge majority of sudden, unexplained deaths of seemingly healthy snakes are because of low level dehydration. You know, the ones that die for no reason at all. And if you think that calling Frank my buddy somehow insults me or makes what I say any less relevant, you are wrong. Not sure how agreeing with someone makes me their buddy. Care to explain? Stupid crap like that is exactly why good threads like this go down hill fast. Because people (not all, but many) do not know how to handle situations or debate with actual intelligence.
