I choose to humanely put down my pet rather than pay hundreds in vet bills is both ludicrous and stupid.

So now you are saying the snake IS your pet? Which is it- a money making object or a pet? SO you spoke to your friend - a vet. Why didn't you speak to your friend first, instead of stirring up a mess on here? Why did you even start this thread, if you weren't going to be willing to take any advice? Neutering dogs and cats has been shown to allow them to live healthier, longer lives and prevents thousands, nay millions, of unwanted animals being born that would end up homeless on the streets or killed. SO you don't want your 'nads removed...bully to you sir, but if your snake can possibly live a healthy life if its ovaries are removed, I think you should at least consider it.
As I mentioned before, you should not be keeping animals if you cannot afford potential medical care...you said you have 50 snakes? WHY? If you cannot and will not afford the medical care for ONE, there is no reason you should have 50. Your attitude and apparent disregard for the snake as a living creature have put you on my definitely-never-buy-from list.
Furthermore, you've really left a sour taste in my mouth from all your posts....attacking TeaNinja about his practice with his rats...why is it any of your business what he does with them? He raises rats, sells the live ones to a pet store and buys frozen ones. He prefers this to killing them himself- what is wrong with that?
And your thread about rattlesnake roundups? WTF?? That was completely unnecessary and you HAD to know that that would raise hackles around here. WHY would you even post a thread like that??? It seems to me that you enjoy creating a stir and ruffling feathers.
I'm done with this thread. I'm done with all your threads. I've spoken my opinion, and you've spoken yours. We obviously don't see eye-to-eye. I cannot, and will not, ever abide by people who accept/support mass slaughtering of snakes in roundups and will not spend money to heal an animal that is their responsibility. It's people like you that leave snakes underweight, sick and scarred out on Craigslist. (I've personally taken in several rescues that unscrupulous breeders had run ragged). I am a starting breeder, but I still consider my snakes living creatures and understand that there are risks when dealing with live creatures, and if you are not willing to accept the risks to your wallet, you should not deal in live creatures as a business. I'm done with this mess.
