Advice from morons
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

If I wanted advice from morons, I'd clear my ever-growing Ignore List. This place has really gone to pot over the past few months, unfortunately

That's what happened when I first saw his video on dealing with a blood in a bad mood. lol
I've been doing alot of research and asking alot of questions pertaining to bloods. With their temperaments, they're not an animal you just want to jump into. I've decided I do want one and it will more than likely be a borneo, but I'm waiting until I have a little more experience and experience with my next animal, a retic, first.

Re: Advice from morons
what is that advice I don't even. How would rubbing a snake and putting your hand close to its face help calm it down?
