Yes, your response was worded rudely.
However, all rudeness aside, you got me thinking. I've been trying to figure out what book I read that in, because I didn't just pull my response out of my butt. Anytime I've ever been interested in a pet, I've purchased or borrowed many books about the animal. I read A LOT and I've even gone through countless care sheets online. I found the book that I was referencing though, just in case you were curious which one was wrong. 25 Best Reptile and Amphibian Pets was where I found the info. In the California Kingsnake section, they specifically state that if your Cali soaks for long periods of time, you should give him a smaller bowl so he cannot do that. It does not say, "if he has skin blister disease" or anything of that nature, it merely says that if he soaks for long periods of time, give him a smaller water bowl. It also declares that they are desert creatures and should have a "dry" habitat.
I'm sorry that I posted incorrect information, but I go by whatever sources I have available, and as I've been checking, none of the other kingsnake books I've read have contradicted this one. That's an awful lot of wrong information out there for new pet owners.
Just FYI.
