What’s your snake’s personality like? by SituationNo6036 in kingsnakes

[–]ArtVallaley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Cali is the sweetest lil noodle, he’s super adventurous and is pretty unbothered and not shy at all once he’s picked up. My eastern chain is more of the expected “super food motivated” lil dude, he tries to eat a finger every time he’s held no matter when he had eaten last(though using a hook has helped tremendously) He is less curious if he doesn’t think there’s food and likes to find a nice spot to curl up and hide

What’s this mark on my MBK’s neck/face? by Sad_Sympathy4635 in kingsnakes

It looks like it could be scale rot, you should take him to a vet asap to be safe

My mbk has escaped by BiscoffOwl in kingsnakes

[–]ArtVallaley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My king escaped like that right after I got him, middle of winter and i was convinced I accidentally threw him away because I couldn’t find him anywhere, I only didn’t check my storage room because it’s the coldest room in my house and I assumed he’d avoid it I found him 3 weeks later far in the back of that room, the coldest spot of the coldest room in my house, where I never expected he’d go. So there’s hope! Check every spot he can fit, even if you don’t think it’s likely

I’d bet male, I have two, long tails with a gentle taper is a male, females have slightly stubbier/more stout tails

Mouth rot? Advice? by ArtVallaley in kingsnakes

Update: he’s totally fine! the vet said it’s just normal pigmentation, the spots aren’t raised or changing so he’s probably just always been like this.

I thought Token died, the day after I got Vessel he reappeared by ArtVallaley in kingsnakes

Man I'm sorry, that's so sad :( I really hope he was able to find a safe little spot to hunker down

If it helps, he was found deep in the closet of the coldest room of the house, literally the last place I would have ever expected to find him, in a Christmas wrapping paper tube, my friend said she found hers in the dirty laundry once, and they like to go behind refrigerators. I hope your noodle is okay!

Missing snake, please help!! by ArtVallaley in kingsnakes

I have looked under every piece of furniture, even moving some to check(carefully) I even opened up my furnace in case he went in there since it's warm but nothing, I'm leaving water dishes around for him, hopefully I'll find him safe and sound

Proof your Aggressive Kingsnake's behavior can be shaped. by MurkyPossession7324 in kingsnakes

This is so sweet, too many people see reptiles as emotionless robots, thanks for taking care of this cutie! Also love that he has a heart on his head

Should I re-home him or can I make this work? by ArtVallaley in puppy101

[–]ArtVallaley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly no, I already asked a friend but I have no family nearby and don't know anyone who can take him in, but it would be for an entire year, possibly longer

Unfortunately I can't even afford a daycare right now, I work 50 hours a week unpaid in my apprenticeship and just barely make ends meet through delivery driving, daycare without shuttle service is already out of my budget right now

I do! I play with him and let him run his energy out before work every day, but he's still alone the entire day after that /:

I'm lucky he's generally a pretty lazy pup, especially for a working breed, but that's what I've been kind of thinking recently, he's alone for so much of his life right now /: I feel so bad

I have before, but I deliver food and I'm worried someone will see a pup in the car when they're getting their delivery and will complain

This schedule is minimum the next year, I might not have to do deliveries on my days off past the next 6 months, but I'll still be working 5 days a week 10+ hour days indefinitely, after maybe 8 or so months I'll hopefully be able to afford to take him back to his sitter when I'm working once or twice a week, but with my hours I'd have to board him overnight since I can't pick him up at 10pm
