how hard is it to give your opinion or advice without coming off as though you are the supreme reptile master of the universe? I really think that some people on here scroll through the posts just looking for an opportunity to ridicule and sound like a know it all.



First off, I am not so sure the small amount of vomit she threw up (the size of a dime), constitutes a regurge. Considering that the last time she ate, she ate two adult mice.



Second off, he is strictly an exotic pets doctor that came highly recommended for treating reptiles.



third, I like how before I went to the vet, the only advice anyone could offer was to go see a vet. Now that I did, all they can do is criticize. If you guys know so much, why couldn't you offer your own diagnosis without having to hear the doctors first?



fourth, you guys all agreed that 3 different vets can come to 3 different conclusions... If you thats the case, you have to expect that a vet may have a different conclusion than you.



fifth, in my vets defense. My corn seems to be doing MUCH better and she is regaining her gloss on most of the scales on the rear quarter of her body already. Seems the doctor knew something.



sixth, many herp experts preach that keeping compatible snakes together is an acceptable practice if done correctly. I'm not saying you have to agree, I'm just saying that you shouldn't act like your opinions are universal truths.



I came to this forum looking for some friendly advice from people who cared about snakes as much as I do. Instead, I get people who only care about belittling others in order to serve their ego.
