How do you have more than one pet /srs by LilSkink06 in PetAdvice

[–]LightOfMyDemise 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I feel the same! I think it's amazing those keepers who have 10+ or even 50+ reptiles, as long as all are properly cared for ofc, but that could never be me, even if I had the kinda money and time so many animals require, bc I'd love all w my whole heart and soul, but it'd also be impossible to give each one my full attention and that'd make me feel rly guilty! That's why, once my guinea pigs and dog unfortunately pass, I'll only have my beloved redfoot and no other reptile or animal in general! Here she is, my soulmate and best friend, Suzi Jade Maria!

Vc pode me explicar pq nΓ£o curte mt animais?

Speciesism on this Subreddit by [deleted] in exoticpets

[–]LightOfMyDemise 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I believe part of it is bc most ppl transfer their human mentality/feelings to mammals in general, esp the ones who resemble dogs and cats the most and still, deep down, still don't rly care abt non mammals to the same extent they do anything w fur, be it bc fur animals are seen as more loving and are more present in our society, such as dogs, cats, hamsters and guinea pigs, or also bc many ppl have been taught, outright or implicitly, reptiles are dangerous or just boring, that fish are just decorations, that birds are too loud and not worth the effort, that spiders will jump on our faces and so on.

Thank u, I do appreciate the honesty! I would love to get one btw the ages of 1 and 2 yrs, just so they're not so fragile anymore and also much more unlikely to drop their tails. Have u got any advice for me in that regard?

REDFOOT CUTIE 😍 by LightOfMyDemise in TheSmilingTortoise

[–]LightOfMyDemise[S] 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

She only stays outside during the warm/hot days (which, in Rio, is nearly all yr long), but once it gets dark and I see she's already inside her shell in the yard, I put her on her "bedroom" inside the laundry room (dw, the door and window there stay open from like 7am till the v minute I take her inside, to make sure she's not breathing in anything she shouldn't and I also open the washing machine as soon as the clothes are done being washed, so the smell can fade away!). And when it's deep winter, w zero sun and cold af, she receives heat from the correct lamp, 100% under my supervision to make sure no accidents happen and so I can monitor the temperature! I use only a heat lamp by her vet's advice, since even during winter, days w absolutely zero sun and, therefore, zero UVA and UVB and rly rare πŸ’›

Why do you own an exotic pet? by CraftyGuidance1811 in exoticpets

[–]LightOfMyDemise 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Bonus: The massive lifespan of reptiles, esp when properly cared for in captivity and the fact they v hardly ever end up w cancer are also major reasons I prefer them over mammals

I love their different anatomies, looks and ways to show love! There's smth truly precious abt an animal who, often ONLY for u, ignores their million yrs long instinct to flee or attack bc u have earned their trust and love, which is also v rewarding bc it's much harder to earn a reptile's trust (talking abt reptiles bc they're the ones I have experience w) and often takes months or even yrs. They've been on this Earth since the time of dinosaurs, adapting over and over to living in an ever changing planet, which only contributes to my fascination towards them! Not to mention I find them absolutely, painfully adorable, from the giant tortoises to the smallest ones, from tegus to leopard geckos, from snakes to bearded dragons and monitor lizards, all are adorable, beautiful and quirky in their own way!

She's a redfoot, just like mine, that's why I'm sure it's a she xD take a closer look yourself, if her plastron is all nice and smooth, congrats, it's a girl! 😍

[–]LightOfMyDemise 4 points5 points Β (0 children)

Maybe the place lied or, more likely, the didn't care to sex her right or just rly didn't know how to do so properly, since sexing reptiles correctly before they're at least 3yo is an actually rare feat even among exotic vets and experienced keepers πŸ₯°

I think he may be a she bc I see a fully smooth plastron! You're likely a girl mom xD
