Well like I said these or just suggestions and advice they are not a court order to do as I say . And if they are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with the treatment or advice then I’m sure they have a brain and can and have entertained the thought of going to a vet . But if the vet was what they thought was the best option then they would not be asking us what we thought ,they would go to the vet and be done with it . And as for experience , I have 35 years and in 3 months 36 , I have worked closely with Vets as well as working at the Houston Zoo as a teen in the Reptile house ,were I was under the supervision of Dr. John Wereler . He was the curator as well as a Herpetologist and a author of several books on Texas snakes . And like you I do almost all my own treatment and diagnostics , most of my Vet trips are for confirmation or for meds I cant get any other way . And if we don’t help the people that ask us for advice then they don’t learn and that would be irresponsible . It is up to them to take what we offer them and you know as well as I do it doesn’t mater what we say they are going to do just what they wont to do , if everyone said go to the vet and they have already made up there minds not to and no one gives any other advice like how to treat the snake then only the sake will suffer .so if you don’t wish to offer help then don’t but don’t offer criticisms either to those who do . Thanks David
