It was only me saying it, i havent experienced "lots" of retics or burms for that matter but the ones i have been around the owners have guided the snakes head to keep it from going near anyones neck.

You can't fix stupid Rob. If they want to make excuses about why it happened and why that's okay then it's on there shoulders not yours.

I totally agree but as withother threads the issue needs to be raised to protect those that dont know better.

If experienced keepers want to free handle hots or put their snakes around their necks and get killed then that is their choice, if an inexperienced person does it because they dont know better then that is OUR fault as keepers

Natural selection is when the new keeper does no research, our responsibility is to those that DO research. We need to present good practice so that their research is worthwhile and effective.

This (imo) is why the Aarons and Mykees are so important to this hobby, they stamp out stupidity and replace it with facts that are straightforward and easy for the new person to understand - no deciphering flowery posts that go round and round the point without actually saying it
