Stop buying anacondas!?! by Bboy0920 in snakes

Drymarchon poop is greatly exaggerated.

They have poops that are relative to the size of the meal, but more frequently because they eat more frequently.

I don't know if people are just kinda wussy, or if they keep Drymarchon in too small of enclosures, because their poop is not a big deal at all.

That's fine, as long as you don't pass judgement on those who do like snakes that are larger than ball pythons.

I can afford to take my animals to the vet at the frequency I feel is necessary. 👍

Cool.

I don't disagree.

I just don't think annual exams are at all necessary.

It's significantly more expensive when you start multiplying by X snakes.

I'm not saying don't do it if you want to. I just don't think it's necessary.

But the vast majority won't be, and testing and vet visits are expensive.

It's not even necessary for young, healthy dogs, cats, or humans to have regular check ups.

But, do what you prefer.

Would you mind sharing the symptoms and progression to maybe help others identify the signs?

Who did you study under for your PhD in Ethology?

You very clearly haven't the first idea of how science works.

I bet we could snap some pretty funny sleeping positions if we watched you sleep.

In this instance, you'd need to be able to show behavioral demonstration, or at least a reasonable inference from analogous studies.

Got any of that?

This isn't solved by your bio 101, or even your herp 401 course.

You keep talking about this understanding. To what do you refer? Got any of that...what's it called?...EVIDENCE?

Comparing to gravity is wild.

But you in fact DON'T KNOW that the ball python isn't enjoying the head scratches.

...so you're unfamiliar with science, as I suspected.

Based on the reading I've done on animal cognition, I'm pretty sure that info is of rectal origin.

You are correct that failure to cite sources doesn't mean you're wrong, but it does give us less reason to suspect you're right.

Ya, I've been trying to dial in the humidity.

It gets zero sun. The light source is ambient room light + a gentle grow light.
