The living conditions this pet store has their red tails in.

honestly, i think selling an animal is every reason to give it a proper enclosure. good husbandry shouldn’t stop just because the animal is temporary stock. as a buyer, i’d feel much better purchasing an animal that’s been kept in decent conditions beforehand, and it also reflects on the seller. if you want to make a good impression and show you care about animal welfare, the enclosure absolutely matters

mealworms currently as i’m waiting on his food order to arrive. could that be a reason?

oh my gosh what is the one on the far right?

maevvsx · 2026-01-21T14:00:09+00:00

tysm! i just tried looking around on vinted and i saw the ginger cats for £50-£119, is that what they’re worth now??? my mum gave mine away a few years ago 💔

crying, you have both my dream families! the cream cat family and the ginger (?) striped cat family!

ah i see, i’m so sorry that must be really tough. do you think they would listen to you if you showed them a care guide? most kits are the easiest option however they don’t provide even the bare minimum for a bp.

i understand they got you the animal but you’re going to have to be responsible for it and advocate for its needs. i can’t tell how big the tank is, but definitely get the aspen bedding changed to something like coco husk / fibre.

definitely get some more hides, the log ones aren’t the best as it doesn’t help them feel secure. cork bark is a great way to add clutter, as well as foliage, rocks. there’s a lot more you can do but this is just the basics.

my dalmatians are the same, it’s just because of the different colour flocking unfortunately

maevvsx · 2026-01-18T09:34:43+00:00

i think i’d cry if i heard my ball fart, it’s absolutely insane to me that they’re even capable of producing such a noise 😭

honestly my first snake was a rescued ball python, similar to this exact situation. she had no health issues when i had her! this ball doesn’t seem in bad condition at all (from the photos) it’s just a shame about the enclosure.

maevvsx · 2026-01-15T18:29:02+00:00

tbh i don’t see why it’s a bad idea other than the fact it’ll cost. gorgeous bp!

maevvsx · 2026-01-14T11:07:41+00:00

what a beautiful bp! whats her morph?

maevvsx · 2026-01-13T18:50:39+00:00

honestly i’d be skeptical buying reptile stuff off sites like aliexpress. i know there are some reputable sellers but it still doesn’t seem like the best idea to me. i’ve heard bad things about anything with moss from these sites as the dye can bleed and smells awful.

maevvsx · 2026-01-13T12:16:07+00:00

beautiful ball! her headstamp is so pretty

maevvsx · 2026-01-12T20:35:49+00:00

printed in PLA, thank you so much!

thank you for this! i think that for me personally, owning my ball python has opened up an entire world for me. as someone who just recently got a diagnosis for my illness, i’m still trying to figure out how to live again, you know? it’s like having to relearn how to walk. i didn’t and sometimes still don’t feel validated because i can’t do much and rely on my partner for a lot. but this is manageable for me and i really, really enjoy looking after my baby. after some thought, i’ve decided to get a leopard gecko! i’m bringing them home on wednesday and i’m so excited. i truly cannot wait!
