"First off, IT ISN'T YOUR GOSH DARNED SNAKE! Back the heck off, for Crimmeny's sake."



So you think it is ok to witness someone NOT raising their animals correctly and not do something, offer advice or seek assistance?



"Second of all, HOW DARE YOU DECIDE WHAT IS BEST FOR A SNAKE THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT! Do some research."



Is it your snake he is talking about or something? He knows enough about snakes to know that you dont starve it for months for no reason and that the guy isnt raising it correctly. What more does he need to know? He came here for help on fixing the problem. Why are you getting so worked up?



"Finally, you are right about the food thing...tell him to go back to a 40-watt incandescent (IF the temps on the hot side of his tank are below 90-95 degrees during the day) for the next week."



95 is very high. High temp should be 90 or less especially in a small enclosure where heat does not dissipate throughout the enclosure very well.



"Then, go have him get a live or frozen (but be sure to thoroughly thaw the poor thing) fuzzy or VERY SMALL hopper and offer it to the snake."



Poor thing? Whats that supposed to mean?

And maybe next time you can actually offer help on HOW to offer it to the snake.



"Snakes are easy to keep. Don't over-do it."



Hmm, there are ALOT of people who would disagree with this statement. Snakes are not labor intensive (unless you have a large one like a burm or retic) but they are certainly not easy to keep. When you get that attitude, you get complacent and bad things happen.



What a tool.
