This picture infuriates me!!
I just saw this moron post on another forum, claims to be a "reptile breeder"
Inside that film bottle is a cut up no pest strip!! these give off toxic vapours! he claims this is a proper mite treatment!!
My emotions just went off the charts!! I am sad for those snakes and angry at the owner.
2 royals in a tote, locked in with poison strips

Re: This picture infuriates me!!
Worst yet i noticed a water bowl in there. Which means if they drink it their as good as dead. 13 years ago i killed a green patternless burm, because i was told to treat mite that way, but to make sure to take the water out. I left the water in with the no pest strip. A day later dead burm. I would just PM him and tell him a different way he could treat them very politely and how it could kill them. If that don't work rip him a new one.

Re: This picture infuriates me!!
At the very least let's hope that no one follows his "advice" explaining how to do this.
If I had edit buttons there, that post would have vanished, that's how much it bothers me.
I did not PM him, because the other forum members need to know that this is the crappiest advice ever posted.

Re: This picture infuriates me!!
aaaaaargh this really gets to me.....!!!
i hate it when some IDIOT posts a thread claiming its a safe way to do something with your snakes when its so obviously wrong.....!!!
was it a uk forum by any chance wayne ?
just we've got more than our fair share of idiots overe here.
id like to take the guy who posted it fill a large polly bag with some toxic crap then hold his head inside the bag while i held it shut round his neck.see how he felt being put in the same position as his poor snakes.
by toxic crap i dont mean something that would kill him.maybe something like poisin ivy or such like.something that would irratate the hell out of him.
rant over,sorry folks
cheers shaun

Re: This picture infuriates me!!
Ugh, that infuriates me as well. What's more, you can clearly see the newspaper "bedding" is wet and there are several spots of urates visible. So not only is he touting a dangerous mite treatment method, he's also showing off his less-than-stellar keeping conditions. That tub is also way too small for both of those royals, unless he is trying to breed them. And he should not be actively trying to breed them while they are being treated for mites. Ugh, *steam comes out of ears*.

Re: This picture infuriates me!!
I know that no single one of us can save the world, But I joined Yahoo answers and post on there a few times a week just for that reason.
The flow of misinformation is astounding.. So if you go and fix even just a few of those wrong answers it gives you something to feel good about.

Re: This picture infuriates me!!
