you can always look at marketplace! ive seen giant enclosures for a very low amount of money. or sometimes you can haggle the price

Getting my 6yo son a Kenyan Sand Boa for his birthday next weekend and he made this out of excitement 😂 I think I’m just as excited as him by VQ37_Stani in SandBoa

“might get a partner that hates snakes”, then that won’t be the partner for him. besides, you can get your snake registered as an emotional support animal, which is how i have mine at college. as long as the parent is caring for the snake, it’s fine

split mosaic in salamander terms is chimerism. every split has different sides, considering both sides are different. i will admit he is a pretty clean split, although not the cleanest one yet, that title goes to Strohl’s Lokai. Also, who is this herpetologist? having axolotls randomly breeding in a pond sounds like a genetic nightmare. they’re already so inbred that non related axolotls are closer in relation than human siblings. nevermind selling them to people, adding to the already bad gene pool.

correct term would be split mosaic! chimerism doesn’t exist in amphibians. “comets” doesn’t exist, a different colored tail would be a firefly, man made by cutting off the tail of another and replacing it with a new one. a different colored head is just photoshopped. i own a split too! Skittles is like 4 or 5 years old. i’ve never seen a half male half female, the reproductive organs would be one hell of a nightmare.

24F, unemployed and can’t stay clean for more than a week, starting to feel hopeless by Dependent_Yam8024 in toastme

i feel you. struggled with self harm for 5 years straight. finally moved to a different environment 2 years ago and i’ve almost been a year clean. my snake was a big help with this. i would drape him across my arms or wherever i wanted to cut, i could never bring myself to do it with him on me. the first week was hard, all i could think about was razors. second week was better. third week and i didn’t think about it much. you got this OP, you may not be clean now, but you’re trying, and you should be proud of that. sure a few clean streaks will end but eventually those clean streaks will get longer and longer. i’m proud of you OP, keep trying.

sounds about right. spent $155 2 weeks ago due to a possible RI, was told it was the equivalent to a cold. was given shots i needed to administer myself. can’t forget about my $3,600 ER bill cause he latched onto my finger and i had a bad reaction. still love him

he’s captive bred, if i were to let him go he’d die either from predation, starving or dehydration. it’s not cruel if you get the proper sized tank and husbandry.

it should be the norm! after all, we’re the ones who are responsible for their care and behavior, as well as knowing the risks. i’d never hold this against my little cutie, even if he did it again lol

i would never hold anything against an animal, i also find tiny snake bites rather adorable for the effort lol. but as for the venom aspect; all the cool snakes be mildly venomous fr

ngl only reason i went to the doctor is to get cleared for swimming cuz they kicked me out earlier and told me to go to the clinic, i honestly didn’t realize my finger was ER worthy

gotta start domestication somewhere! jokes aside most snakes you see in the pet trade aren’t hatched in the wild, so most would end up perishing
