I get all kinds of stupid and outrageous messages, comments and IMs from people all over the place. They come from various sources and have found me any number of ways, but I was recently left some moronic advice in the form of a comment in response to one of my videos - Dealing with a Blood Python in a bad mood - and it's so ridiculous that I just had to share it.
Now I've been keeping boids for 25 years and I've seen and hear a
lot of foolish things, but this could well be the stupidest thing I've *ever* heard...
"What you need to do it calm them down by rubbing starting from the tail to the head them have your hand in front of there eyes about 1 inched away and then pick him him up."
That's like 10 kinds of stupid. I mean, honestly! LOL
