Well, I'm glad you're not my rents

It's not a good idea to let your reptiles crawl around on surfaces where you do food preparation. All reptiles can carry salmonella. Because of this possibility, I never take my snakes into the kitchen. And in this case, you have entered your renters' space for what appears to be the sole purpose of taking pictures. I'm sure they have some rights that you've just violated. I would never do this in someone else's place.

No matter how much you think you have cleaned up after them, it's not as good as not having done it in the first place. Plus, it's nothing compared to the lack of respect you've shown by referring to them as your 'rents'. And, of course, they're not YOUR 'rents' at all, but your parents'. This whole post is wrong on so many levels.

Excuse me, I said "rents" as in Parents. I give them a great deal of respect and you sir or mam have stepped out. You do not insult me like that I don't care if you're 4 or 40, you know nothing of the situation. Salmonella is also in dogs and cats, and common produce (veggies and fruits). I have had the geckos up there taking pictures and it's fine. My step-mother is just not comfortable around the snakes, so I don't make her interact with them. I live there, therefore it is my place, in a way. I'm sure if my parents got on here they would laugh at your antics, as I am now. Wrong on so many levels? Really? :roflmao: How is it wrong? Step-mom is uncomfortable around the snakes, but doesn't mind them as long as she is not in contact with the. Geckos get their pictures taken there. Geckos are WC. Snake is CB. Disinfectant used each time. People mad. Don't understand!
 
I don't see how it's wrong either. Some foods are dirtier than captive bred snakes, and if you have cats, and even some really horribly mannered dogs, you CAN NOT control them when you don't see them up there.

Seriously, disinfectant or bleach and that's it. I'd be seriously sick if those didn't work, which they obviously did.

Now, I think this thread is about wanting to steal someone's amazing snakes, not counters and such.

LOL poor disillusioned people. We use windex with vinegar or Lysol. I guess I shouldn't talk about how i let my 6 year old brother hold the snakes or how sometimes I will eat my lunch in the snake room.

If you're not going to speak clearly, then you can't get annoyed with people who don't understand what you're trying to say.

And despite what the teenagers say, letting any pets, especially reptiles, on kitchen counters is not good practice.

I have a higher chance on catching Salmonella from eating a salad than I have from letting a CB snake that is kept immaculately clean slither around on a kitchen counter and then disinfect it.

Yep, because 95% of Salmonella comes from food. Which we put on our counter and clean with lysol! http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/785774-overview

I use common sense. I will do what I have found to be correct through research not through heroes of the interwebz

*not putting them on YOUR counters....sorry 'bout that :)

And I hardly disinfect every surface my snakes touch outside of their tanks....I put them on my dining room table all the time, along with my rats, but its not like I put my food directly on the table. I do disinfect the table and counter on a regular basis, though, during regular cleanings.....I'm not dirty.

I love how I can post a picture and it causes an uproar but everyone else can do the same thing and don't get crap. Coincidence? I don't think so! Poor lonely people.

First I would like to say, you have some beautiful snakes.

Secondly, David,
For someone who says you do not like to get into arguments with "Internet Heroes" you sure tend to take the bait when someone throws it at you. If you do not like what someone says, why not just say "Ok" and go on doing what ever it is that you are doing. Why do you see fit to throw hate and discontent back in their face? Just because someone is mean to you, does not excuse you to use the same tactics. Be the better man, turn away, ignore what they have to say. There are plenty of people who would back you up if you would just keep your mouth shut and stop proving that you are still a teenager, and still act like one.
There are times when you are very mature, and yet there are times when you act half your age. You cannot change anyone, only yourself.
I know that is exactly what I am trying to do, I know that the chances of you reading this and learning from it are just as much as my teenage brother in law's listening to me when I try speaking sense to them. I just hope you can take something away from this post and put it to use in the future, when people attack you.

Oh, and have you looked into getting any more Heralds snakes? I always loved your pictures of your girl, I am sorry for your loss, she was a beauty.
 
The reason I react the way I do is because I feel like I am singled out and stalked ay people. People heqe actually follow me from thread to thread posting crap that they target my threadr and the cqap piles up. No one elses picture threads start crap but mine. I am told H am an irresponsible keeper, I'm a crooked vendor, I'm this or I'm that. I'm tired of it. The insults to my character is so unnerving I have to respond. I have to qeact because these individuals ard lonly, needy, and pathetic. They have no right to insult me like that. The bull I get on this forum is justmind blowing! The fact that I can't do anything without being questioned or bluggeoned to death is insulting and I don't back down when that happens.

Firstly, calm down. I can barely understand anger type.

B, There are many picture threads that end up with arguments started in them, then there are many picture threads that people try to start stuff in, but it gets ignored. I have seen you enter into other threads and bring stuff up before too, everyone does, it is the nature of the beast. It happens.

Believe me, your blood pressure does not need to be high before you turn 20. Try to let it roll off your back. It is proven that if you have high blood pressure that it ends up causing an enlarged heart, and that will kill you.
I know it is hard, and you will hopefully learn with age. Just remember, a lot of the people who criticize you, are doing so because they care. It may not seem like it, but they want to see you grow into a responsible, respectful person. I would like to see more youngsters get into the hobby and then take over the government, making the US more pet friendly.

You have some great potential, You do what you love to do. Do not let others ruin it for you by making you angry. When you react, they have won, you do not look more mature, or big, or anything, other than a child. Just like when people attack you, it makes them look childish also.

Please, keep this in mind the next time you feel that someone is attacking you. They may not see it as attacking you, they may think they are giving constructive criticism. And, as an Adult, you are expected to take that criticism and either use it, or discard it. But you are expected to do so in a respective manner.
