Also before condeming the site please realize that we gave you great advice about your ball python that you failed to follow. Yet here we are still sorry for your loss which is again due to poor care on your part. Don't hate people for caring for animals and who may be concerned about thewell being of animals who belong to someone who fails to listen . They are being firm but truthful.
Next time you think your smart remember this ....
Intelect without wisdom is the same as a gun without bullets.
So suck it up. Learn from it and move on. We will still be glad to help you with your royal but please follow the advice from now on, ok?

Felt this was important enough to be repeated.

^^ That. The truth of the matter is, people here are actually pretty tolerant compared to a lot of boards. Other places, he'd truly be ripped a new one. It's not the fact that he made mistakes... we all do that and people here understand that fact. Go check out some of the new member posts asking to fix incorrect husbandry. The regulars around here are more than willing to be helpful when asked for advice. The problem is, the OP has swamped the site with continuous husbandry questions, both BEFORE and after his purchase. He literally listened to 0 advice with his setup and feeding. Then comes back to ask why he's having issues. If the sunshine and rainbows group had read all of the posts/threads like some of us have, you'd understand the need for the "harshness" of their approach. We're not talking about a bunch of school yard bullies here... 1 animal has died and no one wants to see the other one suffer the same fate.
