If we give you the proper name of the snake and care instructions, are you going to follow them? Are you going to go out and buy a heating pad for it? And a proper enclosure? I doubt it. It's just something your brother found and you want to keep it around for sh*ts. That's not what this site promotes and I can guarantee you that everybody here thinks you are a moron.
that was really harsh... He found a snake for the first time. What do you expect him to know about husbandry?? C'mon.... You don't know husbandry for snakes that are unknown to you either. Really mean reply, definitely wasn't called for.

I don't condone the irresponsible keeping of animals. Apparently he let it go already so it's a non-issue now. He wasn't going to take care of it properly though, and that really bothered me. Sure I over-reacted but I tend to do that on animal related forums.

You could've educated him instead. He was asking for help. Some people ask how to care for a snake, ignore the advice given, and mistreat the animal. He was just asking how to care for it.

You not only over reacted, YOU made an uninformed conclusion and over reacted to something you had no idea about.

The poor guy had posted 3 times asking about that same snake, but since he was a new member with zero post count, all of his pleas for help wer "vanishing" into the great void also known as the moderator approval zone.

Have some facts in hand before making any further conclusions.

So was there never a time when you had no clue about husbandry too? Did you always know that most snakes did not need UVB to thrive? Before your first experience learning about snakes did you know how to properly set up or feed a snake? Give first-timers and "noobs" a chance to learn. No need to start negative right off the bat.

My threads aren't being posted and I need help on how to care for it.

Its currently in a small bottle with some openings.
Do I leave it in the sun, food etc?

Yo sprinkle tinkle.... get a grip.

The reason his threads were not posting was due to they were sitting in the moderator approval section, rendering them invisible to anyone but forum management.

Get your facts straight before posting this kind of crap.
