Two New Snakes .. [6]

[Vela]

Nobody was focusing on the negative, but it's a good idea to let people know of the possible risks of certain housing situations, in case they didn't realize it. Kimmy is absolutely right about everything she had said. You don't see any signs of aggression, you just have a missing snake IF that happens. I have two baby snow corn snakes and a 6 foot Red Tailed Boa, and there are things eveyrone who owns snakes should know, especially if they are new to them. Nobody said anything wrong to Gina, mean or any other way, it was simply information, and correct information. It CAN happen, and whether it's rare or not it happens. There is no reason to say Kimmy is being negative for passing on true information about potential problems. At least now Gina can make an informed decision about how to house them.

well, someone is making this a big deal while it should not be - I think that's what she means. yes, it can happen but this is not a perfect world and anything can happen. I mean, a cat have eaten a human before and if this is common and correct, why would a reputable breeder hand me two snakes and say it's okay to be together?

they're my first snakes doesn't mean I haven't done any or little research, especially I've spoke with two breeders (who each keeps 20+ tanks with 5+ hatchlings in each for 8+ years) and even especially after I've lost my very first one. I also looked at the forum (link given above) also, not all of them are the breeders and not all of them are responsible owners like some on here so I am more of to tend on experiences than 'texts on internet' alone. it's nice to know someone cares about my snakes, I'd still research more about this though for a better knowledge and again, do not plan to keep them in same tank.

vela, I didn't know you had snow corn snakes! how come you didn't post them yet, I'd love to meet them.

I don't see anyone making a big deal. Ramanth is giving you information and her opinion, what you do is up to you. I don't think it is kind to dismiss her.

Your snakes are very pretty, I love the red/orange one, he is so striking!

I can't wait to have kids so that I can let them have cool pets, and not be known as that crazy lady down the road with 20439098375 animals (I already have that rep here, don't want to encourage it, haha).

Hope to see some more pics as they grow.

dismiss? just stating what I think jenn means as I don't see anything negative here.

yeah I know what you mean, trying to vary the animals here myself - I love all of them. all S's too, skunks, snakes, slugs, snails, you name it. people/friends think I'm a crazy cat lady or cats are my favorite animal - thirteen cats here. due to population, cats/strays/ferals/kittens are easier to rescue.

thank you! and you will, as long as not every threads are about seperating them.

I am sure you mean no harm to any creature, but I honestly do not understand why you are so easily offended when someone simply has the animals best interest at heart. Ramanth is very passionate about her reptiles yet you just brush her concern aside like its crumbs from your lunch. I just do not understand why you keep bringing animals (cats, sugar gliders, snakes etc) into your home when things are so unstable for you right now.

it can happen but this is not a perfect world and anything can happen

this is very very true since you yourself have been there.
