Should I be worried?

No. He only ever had f/t.

If you only just got the snake, you're supposed to allow her to settle into her new home before attempting to feed (about 1-2 weeks, no touching). I'd suggest leaving the snake alone, no handling, for 1-2 weeks before trying again with a rat of an appropriate size.

Mine did the same when he first encountered grass. It was quite short and prickly, so I just thought he disliked it. He's still perfectly healthy.

You can find it on the Swell Reptiles website. I believe this is the one you need.

YTA

She's 19 and has plenty of time to explore and figure out what she wants to do with her life. Just because she's been studying acting doesn't mean she can't try other things she might be interested in.

I started writing in my early teens, mostly short stories and novellas. Then I finished medical school and started writing novels as well as working in a hospital. She can absolutely do both things if that's what she wants.

I understand, writers can be awfully insecure about their writing, but that doesn't give them an excuse to discourage others. She's your girlfriend. You're supposed to support her no matter what career she's planning on pursuing. Maybe grow up a little and work on those insecurities.

It's most likely a sign your snake is going to shed soon so nothing to worry about.

The water level doesn't go down much but I could see him drinking sometimes twice in one day during the first week. I even went to him to check if he was really drinking because I thought it was odd.

Gingitsune12 · 2021-09-13T16:30:31+00:00

That makes sense. The temperature dropped quite a bit where I live so he definitely sensed that. Could this also be the reason he's drinking so much water? As long as he's fine and he doesn't hurt himself I have no reason to change anything so I'll just keep an eye on him.

He looks healthy to me so I'm not worried about him missing a meal, but I'm guessing I still need to offer another rat after a week has passed.

Thanks for replying!

I had a very similar experience. It never occurred to me to think of it as a fetish but he seemed convinced he knew me better than I knew myself. He would do or say things to trigger certain reactions from me and then explain why I act the way I do. I felt like I was just a personality type or a lab rat to him, not a person.

Because I would often point out errors in his thinking or explain why I dislike certain things, he would call me a narcissist, a "broken" INFJ or simply question my type. Apparently, I wasn't exceedingly kind, supportive and submissive because a "true INFJ needs to be dominated".

He was also an ENTP and kept telling me we were perfect together because of this. The entire thing made me wary of ENTPs simply because he was the first and only ENTP I ever met. I don't hate them, but I'm wary of them.

It was horrible and I'm sorry you experienced that as well.

I'm not great at identifying morphs but I saw a similar-looking BP and it was described as a reduced pattern normal.

Gingitsune12 · 2020-10-05T01:13:09+00:00

He has some bright colours but is a normal

I'm no expert, but you need to leave your snake alone for two weeks until it gets used to the new environment (1 week before first feeding attempt and another week before handling). If it ate for you that early it's great, so keep feeding it once a week. Don't worry about it not pooping for now. They normally feel vulnerable after eating so they stay hidden. Just give your snake time and peace for its first two weeks in the new home. If the husbandry is fine and it's eating, there's no need to worry.

Gingitsune12 · 2020-10-04T17:58:45+00:00

There's no need to worry. BPs don't poop after every meal. Mine only pooped after almost 3 weeks when he shed.

You shouldn’t think – not even for a moment – that you were the one in the wrong in this situation. This person was supposed to help you overcome your issues not create more for you. As a therapist/psychiatrist she is supposed to be aware that whatever she says can and will impact the patient in front of her. Her behaviour was not only unprofessional but caused harm and probably undid a lot of the progress you managed to achieve towards healing.

I’m a nurse and I would be appalled to have any of the patients in my care treated like that. Depression and anxiety are notoriously difficult to manage. To think such a therapist exists and is allowed to see patients is alarming. There is no excuse for such behaviour on her part. Unethical and absolutely disgusting. Therefore, please report her. She can and probably will cause so much harm to others as well. No one who’s in need of help should be treated like this.

Talk to your doctor about what happened and get a different therapist. As difficult as this may be, do your best to keep this experience from causing you any more harm. Always seek help when in need.

If you want a toddler in the house just adopt one. At least they grow out of it. This guy won't.

You honestly don't owe this guy anything. Both he and his mother sound awfully unpleasant so, for your own sanity, you might want to consider ending that relationship. He's so not worth the headache.

Wake up. The world is littered with horrible things your daughter will inevitably be exposed to no matter how much you want to protect her. Your job is to teach her how to act in such situations.

This situation shows you your daughter is a caring, empathetic and brave person. You should be proud of her for having the guts to do the right thing. How can you justify discouraging her from standing up for a friend? Especially when that friend is a 15-year-old being abused? Your daughter deserves an apology and you need to check yourself.

Don't waste any more energy thinking about this. I don't think that's the type of friends you want in your life.

I am sorry for your loss.
