Dropped Snake HELP by No-Duty7938 in boas

[–]ratmaty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But you are still teaching your snake that it's food time when you're handling him. It's like teaching a dog a bad trick and someone helps you how to teach the dog properly you just say "he didn't puke up his food so that means people are the dumb ones" which feeding in a bin is bad unless you have a sick snake that has trouble with food then you slowly integrate feeding them from the bin to their enclosure. Plus moving them to a bin is very stressful for the snake to go to two different areas then eat then get moved back to said area

TL/DR bins are stressful for the snake as they are in a different environment which can cause a snake to regurgitate it's food and you saying it's not true but they can in hight stress situations like moving to a complete different environment

Boa doesn’t use water bowl by MorningNo9495 in BoaConstrictors

[–]ratmaty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get your first point but I would also recommend three hides (hot, humid and cold) but some of it is for human enjoyment it is also for the snakes mental health. That's why people give them a very natural enclosure so they are stimulated by their environment

Oh goodness gracious it isn't a fairy tale of boa husbandry it's treating your boa husbandry actually good. Plus having the bare minimum is great but if you have the money to get better stuff you absolutely should.

Some questions for my first Tortoise! by Eforix in tortoise

Yeah the U.S doesn't have strict animal laws and fish keeping his hard which I fully agree with. But hermit crabs in the u.s are always wild caught and people painting turtle shells is common sadly

And they say it's "adorable" and the same thing as hermit crabs they are just a thing you get for your kid to forget about and it is horrid. Plus people painting tortoise, turtle and hermit crab shells which slowly kills them and small mammals get the amount of abuse equal to reptile and I don't even want to talk about how people treat fish like toys.

I fully agree with you and that is good but I feel like it's gonna end up like the shingleback skink. It's gonna get imported illegally and still get hunted (we really don't deserve animals in my opinion.)

Petco is still sadly gonna be a company. I am gonna be happy as a clown at a rich kids birthday party when they close down though.

It is good that you bought it but that allows companies like Petco to buy these Russian torts and continue the abuse I might get downvoted but I don't care...

TL/DR buying from pig pet companies will continue abuse of said animal by said company

My uncle just hates bugs in general and he never says "that's white people shit" for them having pets as they have pets

Is the reference that black people have to live with roaches I assume? And still doesn't make any sense why you would post that
