Was that sarcasm lol, or did you mean who buys their snake without doing any research on snakes first?
To me, if you are thinking of getting an animal, you need to be damn well sure you know what it requires to take care of that animal and have the capability (mentally, time-wise and financially) to look after it properly without it dying.
To buy a pet
python and then start asking all kinds of questions
afterwards is just backwards thinking to me.
I had my tub, UTH, substrates, thermometers/hygro, water dish, 3 hides, sticks, red bulb, thermostat and
even prey all set and ready to go before the snake even arrived! I'd read 1 book on BP's and 1 on general snake husbrandy (and biology) as well as 25+ hours on this site before even committing to a purchase. Hell, I even left my UTH/thermostat on and running correctly for 2 days beforehand just to make sure all the temps were right in the setup.
Now I'm wondering if this person was even legit, or was just BSing us???
