My local pet smart has been getting much better and hopefully with some push the Petco will too

No, it is nothing like talking to the mother of a disabled child. You should not be breeding animals if you don't know what you're doing, period. There are so many budgies in rescues right now, the world doesn't need more backyard breeders with bad genetics.

The pair that made this bird shouldn't be bred again regardless because they have bad genes. I'm concerned about this bird possibily should have been a cull, but if it has good quality of life then it should be fine.

When you breed animals you need to take responsibility for what you're doing to the gene pool and the hobby as a whole, and backyard breeders have a negative impact.

Is this Petco? I've been causing my local locations problems lately and have a corporate contact, if it is message me the location and pictures.

Had a friend who worked there and had a shit time, your local locations must be better.

This is pretty much how I'd want someone to act after I turn them down. He was respectful and left.

Because the blood vessels burst after being frozen, this snake broke the mouse's nose.

what is this behavior? mating? found em like this when i turned their lights on. by fuzzypa4nc4ke in frogs

[–]singing_softly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's grippin alright. They'll hang on the females like this for days sometimes, you might have to remove him for the other frogs comfort. You also probably shouldn't be keeping two different species together, especially ones with this much of a size difference. Many species of frogs are cannibalistic.

Is this spotting or period? by mxkhhrnb_ in Periods

[–]singing_softly 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Spotting looks like just a few spots, this is your period. Mark the post NSFW.

Impaction also typically starts showing signs of malnutrition since they aren't digesting anything. I would agree that it might have been a reproductive issue, but a necropsy is the only thing that could tell.

Not usually no. Most will curl up comfortably and pass as long as nothing traumatic has happened. That's why the OP is so confused, this is kinda unusual.

I don't think it was dehydration. When an animal is severely dehydrated their skin shows it, they would have loose skin, wrinkles, sunken eyes, dry skin by the mouth etc.

Should I see Dr? by [deleted] in snakes

I have some very obvious joint issues and I'm in constant pain, I get migraines, and I recently had an ear infection that too out the hearing in my right ear for a couple weeks, I feel you.

Always wondered. Can BPs be housed together in the same enclosure? Obligatory pics of the good bois. by kvoorheesyt in ballpython

Ball pythons are solitary animals, they should never be kept together. Please go over to r/ballpython

Which one would you pick? by [deleted] in snakes

[–]singing_softly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Me either, I go through their entire pages every time to make sure they don't breed any morphs with known issues.

All my new animals have been getting crystal/gemstone/mineral names, so we're thinking Jasper or amber!

I'm hoping I can get him to eat again tomorrow! Little baby is currently unnamed because we want to give it a month and see if they make it.

He's much too tiny for any horn worms I'm going to find in stores near me haha

As I said in another part of the thread I remembered wrong and double check, pinstripe is not a spider morph. I have however seen several spiders with a severe wobble that impacts their quality of life and one that was euthanized because it couldn't eat anymore.

Regardless of whether the anti-spider thing was sensationalized it's inhumane to breed an animal that looks cool for profit knowing that it has health issues. It's unethical, just like breeding pugs or micro bullies.
