wots the worst piece of reptile advice you've ever been given??

i think its hilerious! i think Fred Ward is a great comedy actor!

plus some of hes lines in it are so funny!

(sorry to go off subject!)

They hunt with vibrations. Smell cant dectect how large a prey is. Thats how they determine weather to go after a huge rate, or a newborn *All snakes, not just corns* same thing applies to any snake.

I will not ave you bashing tremors, it's such a good movie!

good movie but how dumb can people be to think that they decet though the ground what a dumb @ss. and people say the ecocimy is low how about we toss all the people that dont know what there doing out of a job.

"Expert" in Scamp's pet shop: "You can house an 8-month-old corn with a two-year-old corn, but if they're in the same hiding spot the two-year-old could 'sit' on the 8-month-old, causing it to suffocate."

This could be true, but he didn't mention that the two-year-old could eat the 8-month-old, or that one or both of the snakes could get stressed out and go off feeding, etc.

To go a little OT,

There's a dessert dwelling snake that cruises along under the sand almost undetectably, following the vibrations of small forraging mammals and then strikes up at them.. I can't remember all the details but it was on a documentary I watched years ago.

I haven't been given too much bad advice but I do hate seeing animals housed inappropriately at petshops.

Actually I've been lucky, the worst advice I've been given was either
A: use Calci-sand for your snake bedding.

or B: You absolutely HAVE to have a heat lamp for your Corn snake cage.

Have to go with A: since the sand can actually cause him harm if ingested.

B: is just good intentioned advice on heating and lighting that happens to be wrong, you dont HAVE to have a lamp, but you DO have to have some kind of controllable heat source that wont cause burns when properly applied.

Ha ha oh me next! me next

"that corns hot side should be 95' "
"Their substrate can be this calci-sand stuff. People tell you aspen and that is perfect. their wrong"
"What size is your snake? (i tell them) WHAT!!! Their on baby mice. They SHOULD be on crickets. Way more nutritious for them."
"You can use these small pet pals aquarium (its a small blue aquarium mainly used for bettas) till they get bigger to move them to this 12"x12"x12" terrarium."
"They don't get any bigger then 2 1/2 feet"

this thread amuses me hehe.....
when i got my first snake the kid at superpet told me if i don't get a UV light my snake won't last even a year... plus they had my snow listed as snow motley... i didn't know for a few months that it was not a motley(i was still learning) oh and at that same store anerys are called "black cornsnake"

Haha we bought our normal as a balck cornsnake. The same damn store sells snows as butters, anerys as blackcorns, and amels as white albinos.
