But, they way I care for my snakes...Im happy with it. I didnt need lectures haha just wanted to post a photo..If I need help I ask for it ..If you guys want to help me so bad go check out my other post where I found a lump on my snake and wasnt sure what it was..I dont know if the way I write sounds rude but im not trying to be rude..I really appreciate the effort its just not what I posted these pics for
That thread has been responded to 3 times now and you haven't been back. All three have given the same advice by the way.

As for judgement on husbandry I don't personally care aslong as the animal isn't being harmed or could negatively be affected. Your animals, your decision on how you want to handle them and how you want to feed them. As Matt said, if you're fine with the extra effort then by all means, go forth.

The part of the message that I think other people are trying to convey to you is the posting of these pictures and a few of your comments. I know and everyone else knows they weren't posted in malice or in a negative manner.
However, our hobby is constantly under attack by law makers and other agencies looking to take or limit our passions.

Saying stuff like you enjoy the feeling of being bit and the pictures where you easily could have lost an eye to a species of snake that everyone claims as "No danger to humans." is not really helping our cause. It's putting more ammo into the hands of those who oppose us.
As a reptile keeper we all understand our snakes but the general public doesn't so we need to put the other shoe on the other foot on and look at things from how they would view it.
I know it's a lot to ask but we all have a small bit of responsibilty to the hobby/community as a whole that we all hold dear to put our best foot forward and ensure the world sees us as the responsible keepers that we are.
