If you are truely 22 then it should not just a mistake, it should be common sense not to leave a snake alone in your backyard.

He wasn't alone, I was just a few metres away, and I was keeping my eye on him until I stupidly got distracted.
I'd never left his side before while he was out
And I will never do it again!

If the definition of coddling is not speaking the truth, then I have to agree with Student. I believe we should speak the truth in promoting good husbandry every chance we get, even if the truth may hurt the op. I just have a problem with speaking the truth in a hurtful way. Sometimes we do things because it's the way we were taught. Sometimes we do things because we were never taught any other way.

There's a lot of "try" and "whenever possible" and other words like "please" in there and to me, and my understanding of the English language is that those phrases and words do not mean "I must" so I fully believe my suggestion of a future pet for you is warranted.

I suppose we can do some trading Wildside. Let me know how many pairs you want.

I just said those all use questionable wordings to what "I must" do in each of my posts. Apparently you didn't read my previous post.

My suggested pet post was purely a suggestion. A legitimate one. I don't see that as offensive, racist, sexist or obscene. Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean it's against the forum rules.

Also, I believe TWO other forum members found my post fun and inviting to both comment and continue on with the suggestion as a side hobby. All three of us have various pet rocks in our collections.

Reptilegal · 07-31-12, 12:33 AM

Well i wasnt specifically refering to YOU!!

But i did find that stupid pet rock thing offensive!
And i didnt start this thread to have you and others talking about rocks!!! Start your own thread for that!!!!

Stupid pet rock thing?! You know it's probably the best pet for you.

Look if the pet rock and it's box and straw nest seem too much husbandry and attention for you then maybe a pet string so you can cut it to size to keep a proper eye on it or tie it your finger as to not get so easily distracted and lose it.

The pet stick is also wonderful since you can leave outside and it'll just be at home with his cousins and not only survive until you remember it but thrive!

Ok, I guess I shouldv NOT learned from my mistakes or 'lack of common sense'
So I guess next time I should keep his enclosure bone dry when he molts and not do anything to fix it,
I should leave him outside on his own ALL the time from now on

When I wrote that thread asking if I should take my python to the vet cos I think he may have a respiratory infection, or leave him be cos he is getting ready to shed, I shouldv not asked and done what I think I should do

When I wrote that thread asking for good reptile vets that will look after him as best they can, I should not have asked and if he is sick just let him suffer

I should've left him with his previous owner to stay underfed,tick infested and mite infested...
Think about that.. think about the good things I HAVE done and asked!! They OUTWEIGH the mistakes I made!!!.

Reptilegal · 07-31-12, 01:12 AM

Hey, and what the heck is with this??
Its not uncommon to come off in big peices
As long as it comes off its fine???
Why did I get backstabbed with my shed thread??

In big pieces as in the shed caught on something in the cage and ripped, I believe..
edit:
took another glance at the shed your snake was having, it looked like it was kind of 'flaking' off, which is not good.

'but as long as it all comes off it's fine'

Yes it was not good! I admitted it! and I corrected it and his shed ended well
