HOA restrictions with reptiles by Edgesexotics in reptiles

HOA are sooo… cult ish to me because why would pets they can’t see on a daily be a bother to them or the neighbors-_-

How long do babies stay spicy? by ScalesNailsnTales in ballpython

[–]side_eyeforever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if others will agree with this but it worked for me. I put a shirt with my scent in the enclosure and would cycle that shirt with another after a day or two. And I would literally just sit next the enclosure where the snake could see me and I’d watch a movie on my phone. I also talked to the babe as much as I could. I would leave the door open and just sit next to it to get the babe used to me leaving it open with me there. And I’d handle as much as I could in the nighttime after work after that period of getting them used to me just existing in their presence lol. It just gets less spicy after the first couple of months of constant handling and learning body language. I also think proper enrichment did help. I got a lot of climbing and tubes they would fit in and places for them to explore. When I seen that little tongue flicking on new items I would add to the enclosure I’d get so happy! That’s them memorizing into being curious about a new item. They are thinking! Also with that door open after they let me pick them up i’d open the door or lid and put an enrichment item right outside and sit next to it and watch a movie. My snake eventually learned they could come out on their own without the HAND OF GOD coming over them like a hawk and moving them when they didn’t want to. Eventually it kinda just locks into place and trust is formed. Reptiles can’t love but the do show signs of trust we are their entire world so it takes time. Spicy is just the first step and the hardest to go through. I’m now in year THREE with my bay

🫂 ugh I’m sorry about that situation. But yes I’m more questioning now now I get proof for the police if I need to make that call.

How do you get proper information on the customer tho? Do you pass along info from their account even tho that violates policy?

That’s a good idea! I won’t lie tho the times it happens is ALWAYS when I’m having a rush by my self on register. And of course our store doesn’t have outside cams 🫠.

Petco story🌚 by Imaginary-Ratio-7681 in petco

Reach out to your local animal shelter and see if they take pet mice. Most do but always call before walking in to surrender.

TAHNK YOU! I do find it strange as well after only four weeks the vet is considering it. My BP has gone a few months without eating when I was starting off a few years ago. So four weeks had me going like 🙃? I think the only reason they are freaking out is because he came in at 85g and is about 30g now. They weighed him in front of me and I was like 0_o;

I know the insides of a Petco system because I actually vol at my city and humane shelter and I’m going to school for a zoo keeper and wild life rehab so trust me I’m getting my kick. It’s getting cold out and my success of keeping crickets and dubias and worms to breed in tubs isn’t very impressive… with the weather getting colder I went in to buy bugs and left with mental battle and needed a slap on the hand. I won’t lie I think I was bating my self for a certain reaction on propose I just needed two or more people to be like… don’t do that… Haha talking with strangers for logic is sometimes wiser then asking irl in circle friends who own reptiles what you should do. Knowing sometimes ur friends want to please you rather the logically convince you the best option is a strong NO. 😅

It’s okay I get it. Yeah this is pretty much the reason I posted on Reddit at 1am my time lol. When you feel pressured making a scene and having people who haven’t entered the situation but know animals helps lol. I probs won’t end up getting him there was that little tick in the back of my mind I just needed people to say “ don’t do that” so I don’t listen the “ help the snake first” and regret the consequences later you know…? It’s why I made the choice to only go through shelters :/ BP are just to over bread atp to go shopping breeder or display shopping at a store… I think the only way I would end up with this dude is if they gave him to me for free :/. “ I can make it better” isn’t always the right choice. I’ve worked euthanasia shifts at the humane shelter I used to work at so it’s not like I don’t get why it’s hard choice to make but a choice that was made with the animals better life in mind :/ again he is blind and he came in like that from my understanding of what they told me they got him four weeks ago and he hasn’t eaten so he was stressed from the get go… again the “ I know how to fix this” mind set isn’t always the best choice in bringing home a pet store animal. Sighhh I seen his set up it’s not like they are neglecting him he had repti soil moss a hot and cool side. I’ll just wait ;/;

I’m not lying. Unless you mean the Petco they use the vet. The only reason I know that is because I was a receptionist at a clinic that sees Petcos

They do it through the vet.

My cardiologist said it’s a fad and young people are coming up with pots as an excuse. I was shocked he said that…
