Re: Not fair really but...
LOL Here here! J.R., I`m afraid we`re all just so very passionate about the wellbeing of captive snakes that we can barely contain ourselves when we see husbandry practices that we know from years of experience aren`t in the best interest of the snake. Be it in the long run or the short term. As you know I`m totally fed up with getting involved in these sort of situations but for what its worth, regardless of any animosity, regardless of egos and regardless of anyone sounding a bit short in thier posts. He is right. Snakes and fish tanks do not mix well AT ALL and by the time you come to see that as the truth it is, the damage is already done. I would also very very highly recommend that you get your snake/snakes into plastic or wooden vivariums as soon as humanly possible. If I could just use a metephorical example here... If you were to keep a fish in a bowl of water and add a single drop of vinegar to that water each month, that fish may well look absolutely fine. Maybe even for ages and ages (You see where I`m going with this don`t you...) But you know that fish would eventually die right? So you would tell someone like maybe an alien or child or something "you really don`t want to do that!" That fish need not get ill, or die. I`m sure you see my point mate. I promise you, sincerely, fish tanks do snakes damage and even kill them. Even if it seems fine right now. Aaron has probably explained this to people as many times as I have, and he sounds just as irritated by new keepers ignoring the experienced words of us long term keepers as I am. Try to appreciate that mate, honestly we mean no malice or harm, we are purely concerned about snakes and we know our stuff back to front and inside out.
