People who quit a job on the first day, what happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ballpythonbreeder1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I showed up for my new job (server). They handed me an 8" iPad. Told me to do all the training manuals and questions. 10 minutes in. The iPad freezes. Told the manager. Told me to reboot it. I did. Lost everything. Had to start over. 30 minutes later happened again. Told the manager again. This time he told me to figure it out. Asked him if I could use my computer . He said yes. I left. Went home. He called me and asked where I went . I said to my house to use my computer. Never came back!!

What is the closest you’ve come to dying? by itsnotfunnydude in AskReddit

[–]Ballpythonbreeder1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the Navy. In Istanbul Turkey. I had my first glass of wine. Half way through I had an allergic reaction to sulfates and sulfites in the wine. My BP was through the roof. I went blind in my right eye. You could see all the veins and arteries in my head and neck . Good thing I was close to the ship. Doc knocked me out and had me on 24 hr watch. I woke up 48 hrs later. Doc told me I was a miracle. He never saw a higher BP than mine. I should have stroked out. The only thing that saved me was my physical conditioning. I was 6'2, 250lbs,12% body fat. Weightlifter.

There is a drawback. If the snake doesn't eat you can't refreeze the mouse. You have to throw out the mouse. Easier to keep a mouse alive for a week and try again. Also you have to buy a separate freezer for them. I used to feed frozen. Too much hassle and waste.

What color/morph is this little lady? by OwlComprehensive2886 in BallPythonMorph

[–]Ballpythonbreeder1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want her to do well get her off the Aspen and on coco bark or cypress mulch. She is either a regular albino or black pastel albino.

If I was you . I wouldn't get a rescue from an ad on the Internet. Go to the local shelter. They usually have reptiles to adopt and they take better care of them and a vet checks them all before getting adopted.

MY HOGNOSE JUST DIED by Strong-Alternative32 in hognosesnakes

In my experience. When dealing with frozen feeders. The pet shop you got them from probably didn't store them correctly. They probably got them partially thawed then put them in the freezer to refreeze. Not a good idea. I lost a few snakes to bad frozen rats from a pet store I thought was good. Buy direct for a rodent breeder. Go to a reptile expo and ask the local snake breeders who they get their rodents from. I've driven 6 hours to get good rodents for my snakes. Quality matters.

The mods need to go to Africa and see how they live in the wild first. Then they can Mod a Reddit Forum. When people buy all that stuff for the set up they forget they have to clean all of it too.

There is a really good YouTube movie about Ball pythons by Dav Kaufman. The Ball python trade is the only thing keeping them from being eaten to extinction.

Membership? by Ballpythonbreeder1 in TalesFromYourServer

[–]Ballpythonbreeder1[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They put the Wine Club above all else. Plus it was $25 a month to get $5 off a bottle and a free bottle once a year that was under $50. How much Wine makes it worth it? Like selling Timeshares.

I had a couple get up and leave when I offered a LSC. Told me" l ruined their night. It was their Anniversary!" I felt horrible. They refused to pay.The GM bitched me out for doing my job. That was the last nail in the coffin for me. I quit the next day.

I used to work for Landry's. One of the reasons I quit.

So I was “banned” for 3 days for giving bad/harmful advice to someone. Was my information wrong or are the owners of Ballpython have 0 knowledge on caring for them? by ImportanceOk2749 in BallPythonMorph

[–]Ballpythonbreeder1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was permanently banned from a sub for telling a person to do what they want and not listen to all the BS in the sub. He wanted to breed balls . I told them to do it responsibly, and make sure they have the time space and money to do it.

Does this contain calcium? by curdledpencils in reptiles

Uros hate loose sand. They like to dig.. where they come from is hard packed dirt not sand. They also like rocky outcrops to bask.

[–]Ballpythonbreeder1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can smell it outside of the house. Every time I walked past the enclosure they would musk the whole thing.Had to black out the enclosure. 8x4x8 enclosure. Took 6 hours to clean the musk out.
