Only in this forum did people have a great oportunity to get their questions answered by a highly respected professional and still seem to forget everything. I understand the magic occurance of post being re-entered into the forums over and over (ex. ball pythons not eating, snake has mites, burmese making noises when it breathes) but I continue to see the same names on this forum and the same bad advise. The topic of getting a snake off you was on here not long ago. I am willing to bet the same people contributed. Vinegar was a good way to get snakes off you, warm water worked for some species, alcohol usually works but is highly dangerous to the snake (can kill it). We also mention all the time how burmese pythons are a neglected species and how most of them will not reach adulthood and especially not with one or two owners. Yet people keep proving the abilities of the hobby are not there by dumping off these snakes. Even the "high end" ones. I am sure I am going to take some heat for this post but believe me....I have plenty of fire I am holding back so be prepared to get a hard second dose.
