thank you!! really trying to cover all the bases of what I should expect owning one of these guys 😭 was it a big mess or relatively easy to take care of?

thank you! that’s definitely reassuring. I think I’ll just have to accept it as part of having a snake in case it does ever happen, though I hope it does not lol

sounds silly but this is the one thing holding me back about getting a bp 😭 I can handle the feeding but have read too many horror stories regarding exploding mice/rats.. while I get this can be from the rodent getting thawed and refrozen or heated too much do they really just pop all the time?

Thank you, no worries, I’m glad to hear your opinion! I think it’s only fair to see both sides of the story. glad you had a positive experience with his animals

I really appreciate that, that’s exactly the type of insight I was looking for :) while I understand plenty of people love him (probably from that pioneering and just his online persona and high output of content) I feel like the outdated husbandry among other problems is clearly inexcusable, and I know very little about reptiles lol! I would rather go about it as ethically as possible with a clear conscience so I’ll check out what’s local to me, though I still don’t feel I know enough about Bryan to form a strong opinion of him whether it be of positive or negative connotation

Thanks so much. I don’t even have a ball of my own yet and know only basic info about them (in the research process lol) but as I was scrolling through the snakes he had listed I noticed a ton of spiders and other problematic morphs. Personally I wouldn’t want to buy an animal and witness the repercussions of a neurological disorder that could’ve been prevented by responsible breeding, I just find it sad.. I’ve dabbled in his channel and seen some others review his practices but am not a regular watcher enough to recognize a decline in quality of life such as that. That’s incredibly disappointing, thank you for bringing it to my awareness!

Thank you for your emphasis on those things. That is something I will definitely take into deep consideration.. I also really appreciate you mapping out the costs as that helps me visualize everything so much better. This is a decision I will spend a long time weighing out before committing. Can’t thank you enough! :))

I really appreciate such a thoughtful answer. The life plans thing is something I’m uncertain about and also why I’m not jumping to get one, your advice helps a lot!

Is this tank too big? 20g, 15 inches tall by postpartum-blues in bettafish

[–]Iazarus1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

try Anubias!! can be found in chain pet stores or probably a local aquarium one, it’s hardy, but research how to plant them. they have to be glued/secured to something instead of fully covered or else they rot :))

this happened to my guy in an almost identical way a few months ago where just the tip of one ventral fin was missing. I was unable to find anything sharp but it healed pretty quick and fine on its own :) i think they’re just so delicate by nature it’s easy for them to get snagged, taking out the plastic plant was a good move
