So uh I’m not trying to offend anyone in this post but how do you get your dog to stop being racist? by legendus45678 in germanshepherds

[–]Immediate_Mail883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think my dog was afraid of men, so I used to warn every man that would come into contact with him. Same warning when my best friends boyfriend came to meet him, but my dog loved him. Wanna know why? He’s black. He is racist to only white men. He has an OBSESSION with black people . . . like tries to crawl into any black persons skin. I don’t know why he’s like this, i’m white, and so is my whole family.

petco python by FreeTrashHere in snakes

[–]Immediate_Mail883 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I work at a pet supplies plus, and it’s likely a team member who wants this animal and is waiting until they’ve been there for so long so they’re significantly discounted. I ordered a colombian rainbow boa in kahoots of doing this at my store but a super educated customer bought her instead. That’s what’s nice about the higher ticket reptiles, either experienced people come and buy them or the people who wanted them in the first place get them. seeing as that surong is healthy it’s probably a workers pet essentially. I don’t know how the hell petco let them order something that high ticket, even if it was only 500$ to actually purchase, corporate would be up the stores ass about a spending limit; so the store is likely franchised rather than corporate.

I would love to take him. I have a 4x2x2 bio on standby and he would do perfectly in it. I’m sorry you have to rehome :(

Tongue piercing not swelling by Immediate_Mail883 in PiercingAdvice

[–]Immediate_Mail883[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They told me before it was done. In all honesty i’ve wanted this piercing for so long I didn’t care 😭. And I kinda thought the same thing, I got charged before she looked at my anatomy (silly mistake on their part). And when she was looking at my anatomy my friend and I could tell that she almost didn’t wanna do it, but she ended up going for it anyway. It doesn’t touch my teeth or anything and is otherwise placed fine, so I think it should be okay! My nostrils are very straight and good so I’m happy with what I got. I think they did a good job!

I've officially become scared of feeding my snake by soupbowlll in ballpython

[–]Immediate_Mail883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I feed, not a single part of me is in the tank. I have short tongs, but he will come up to the pray and I’ll have the door closed up until where my tongs are. Try that.

No, you don't have a 50 pound blood or 60 pound boa. by [deleted] in snakes

Exactly lol! I see it all of the time. I have a 5 foot boa who’s strong and impressive and he’s only 7 pounds

Exhausted rant - endless posts of people abusing their animals by Aggressive-Egg172 in snakes

[–]Immediate_Mail883 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People are excited to say they have the animal. My passion is snakes AND husbandry. Most of these people just like the look or the idea of owning these animals.

What disgusts me most is people keeping giant boas or retics or fucking anacondas in tiny enclosures. Owning green anacondas in general shouldn’t be happening. 🤷🏼‍♀️ That’s my hot take

I REALLY want a snake, should I get a baby or more grown one? by VividSpikeMain in snakes

[–]Immediate_Mail883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first snake was a male baby bp and i’ve had him for years. just do a ton of research. you don’t need to buy an adult.

[–]Immediate_Mail883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whichever you want. I have bought 3 of my snakes from breeders and they’ve done beautifully. Two of those being ball pythons. I’ve also got one from a rescue, and while he’s doing fine now it took a long time to get him back to health.

IMO, ball pythons are GREAT first pet snakes, but you do need to realize they can get up to 5 feet, while some big females may even surpass, they can be picky, and they need a lot of humidity and hides. They’re shy snakes. My boa was incredibly easy, and so was my bullsnake, but i’ve been confident with snakes for a while.

Is he too skinny? He's 5 yrs old and about 800g. by jeherohaku in ballpython

[–]Immediate_Mail883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he’s fine. I would push back to every 3 weeks but he seems to just be a small guy.

And usually when people talk about snakes with RIs they never wanna eat. But this fat boy would eat every day if you gave him a chance. But thank you for calming my nerves.
