>> Lets not put blame on you, but most people Starve their snakes at one point or another.

So most people who try to do this will have one snake eat the other! Read my posts and you'll see that's what I said time and time again, ha ha. We are not going to be perfect and at some point in time, if we slip, then the snakes turn on each other? Everyone get's busy and puts off feeding for one reason or another.
>> The standard in which reptile keepers practice causes starvation. Most people feed on a rather set schedule, Snakes do NOT work that way, when its hot, they feed daily, when its cooler, less often etc. At times, most forget to feed them.
Again I agree with you here!

>> So I ask, could the blame been you? i know you will say, no, its not my fault, I fed the heck out of them just the week before. or I fed each one a fuzzie the day before. Which of course is meaningless to the snakes. Consider, every animal social or not will each their own when starving. The problem is, keepers judge the snakes on when they fed them, not the behavior of the snake. For instance, once its hot you, you can feed on monday, and your snakes will look for food on tuesday. You think, it cannot be hungry, I fed it yesterday. Well it is hungry or it would not look for food.

I actually said I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say maybe I waited too long between feedings. That's my point, who doesn't do this?
>> About newbies, its more important that they learn how reptiles work, then you. They are the future. Its kinda why you cannot absorb this, your toooooo old(or something) to learn.
>>
I'm just trying to save them the heartache of loosing a favorite animal, or at least warn them, that there is a potential for it to happen.
>> Its ok, you don't have to understand it, so why do you respond to all posts about this subject?
>>
I'm insane!!!!!
>> If your interested, then think about concept that reptiles can make their own choices. Not they are in captivity, so I will tell them what and when and who and how much. That you do that is why I say control. You control everything, you make them into animal lacking behavior.
>>
>> Again, if thats what you want to do, then good for you. But why not let the newbies decide for themselves????? or are you controlling them too????
So we should not try to control their enviroments, temperatures, or the spread of desease, or quality of food, and water, and safe dwelling, or parasite infestation? ......It's all about control, Frank! If I can do something to control how long my snake lives, shouldn't I exercise that control, by reducing potential life threatening conditions?
