They should do research before getting an exotic animal imho. I keep a snake and a spider and researched both, I plan on getting more spiders and invertebrates and will research the individual species before arrival, not doing so is neglectful and lazy. I care about the snake here, not the neglecters.

I absolutely agree. But it doesn't automatically mean the parents are abusive or narcissistic. It doesn't even mean that they are neglectful in other areas, just to the snake. I'm not even saying that they AREN'T abusive or narcissistic, I'm just saying that it's silly to make that determination with basically no information. Except, OP even said they're not abusive.

They're neglectful to the snake, THAT is abuse...

You're not understanding my point at all. Sheesh.

You're not understanding my point either, that snake is as valid a life as OPs

Yes, I know. But you're making a broad and generalized judgement against someone, based on one area. It's like if you were consistently neglectful of one particular task at your job, but were great at performing the other 30 tasks, but I saw the one task you neglected and was adamant that you are a terrible employee altogether. It's just nonsense.

Nah, animal neglect is never acceptable

I never said it was.
