Let's list examples of bad ownership. I'll start with something that just happened.

I walked into my brothers room to check on Konani. I was there for less then a minute and I noticed that the water dish was empty. He cleaned the tank out yesterday and emptied the dish but forgot to fill it back up. Konani is in there with her head hidden somewhere under her and no water. She would have gone without water longer but I told him about it and filled the dish. I think I should try to sneek a hide box in there.

I had a friend who owned a ball and let him roam free in the house. He stayed on heater vents and on the vcr alot. My friend had mice running around, so he rarely fed him, figuring the snake would catch it's own dinner, and often did.

I would have criticized him, but the snake seemed to be doing fine, gaining weight and shedding and crapping on his hardwood floors. I guess the part that went really badly was that he also owned a black lab. Usually an outdoor dog, she was let in when it was raining or really cold.
He never really thought about the reprocussions of the two animals being free in the same house until the dog walked up to him one day, with 4 feet of limp snake hanging out of it's mouth. The poor dog thought it was doing the right thing, and the even poorer snake didn't have a chance.

Moshi, I say you somehow steal your bros snake and give him to someone that would take care of it, just tell him that his neglect was the factor that "killed" him. well maybe that would not work,,, Still thinking of a way.
