Sneezing Snake

[mustang]

oh and i know how hard it is not to breath i got really bad asthma. o the big snake never bit at all its ok with being handled....if we do take it away well tell his mom we let it go cause it looked sick (caus shes hippocritical person)

i also didnt know about the anti vet-ness of his family... see i had to catch my pet arter and it had a horrable tail and i took it to a vet and it was trama and a bad shed. i actually take care of my pet!!! and bronco and i are doing his best with a whiney mom and an uncaring dad. we convinced them for the deffinatly noticabe need for a big cage since hes so big. the bigest challange was convincing his mom to get dead pinkies...

Yeah, this is the part that really frustrates me. Obviously you care about your animals, and I absolutely appreciate that you're trying to do the best you can. Thanks for not being terribly offended at my outburst. I just see this general kind of thing so much - parents let a kid get a pet then say "but I'm NOT going to pay for it to go to the vet"... Really, what kind of example is that for the kid to grow up with? Of course in this case it sounds like maybe Mom didn't want Bronco to keep the snake at all, which is a whole different kind of issue.

Glad to hear Mr. Sneezy is doing better, by the way! George mentioned substrates a few posts ago... When setting up the new cage you might want to just use newspaper or paper towels on the bottom for a while to see if a dust-free environment helps at all (oh, and of course wash the tank out well to remove any existing dust, if he gets it used).
