So you purchased a wild caught animal, that appeared to be in good health to the Kick brothers. You must have thought so too, or you wouldn't have purchased it. And it must have been in good health at the time, because, as you stated, you know more than veterinarians about animals.

You immediately introduced it to current pets without any quarantine period. You say "lots of people dont quarantine" which is true, but lots of people also smoke cigarettes even though we can all agree it's pretty assuredly going to reduce quality and length of lives, so I dont really follow that logic much.

You said you did "EVERYTHING RIGHT" in its care (in all caps too!) yet you didn't give it the BASIC care that all wild caught imported animals should receive once they are in the care of their final owner- fecal tests, vet checkups, and usually some sort of parasite treatments. Oh, and usually basic monitoring.

You instead neglected it and ignored it for the next few months, freezing it at 68 degrees every night, subjecting it to so much stress from the cage mates it obviously did not get along with, that it would rarely eat. You somehow did not even notice anything was wrong until it had withered away to the point it is barely responsive, and then eventually died from your abuse and neglect 5? months later.

And you're blaming the Kick brothers for the slow, inhumane death that it received in your long island death chamber? You should put a sign over your reptile room perhaps, reminding you to occasionally look at the living creatures that you've taken on the responsibility of keeping alive. Maybe it can say "UROM-AUSCHWITZ"
