I was at a food court and everywhere else was full, so I sat next to this lady. She and I got to talking about our pets after I commented on the adorable hamster she had with her (she had gotten it at a nearby pet shop). She asked me what kinds of pets I had, I mentioned snakes. She looked at me...

http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-US&vid=3baf47ce-bd8d-4299-a0e0-3d499f24b652 The part where the "expert" says that the puff adder "will actively pursue humans" makes me especially angry. No snake wakes up and says to itself "hmmm, I think I'll waste my precious venom that took so many...

Ok. um...I really really don't want anyone to jump down my throat on this, so let me be clear: I have absolutely no intention of owning either venomous or venomoid snakes either now or in the future. We all know that venomoid surgery is cruel when done by amateurs. We all know that the snakes...

Okay, long story short: I was talking to some people about how I would love to end all rattlesnake roundups and they flipped. They're like: Don't they kill people? Why would you want to save bad things like that? rattlesnake roundups are good, because they make cities safe! Yeah, I know, it's...

Does anyone think it would be possible to sneak a medium-sized python into a building (like a restaurant) if you don't want to leave the snake in the car? It would only be for like, an hour, and I'd put him in a pillowcase and wrap it up in a blanket so that my tummy wouldn't look bumpy.Would...

Please give me your opinions on this issue: Feeding non-rodent prey to a snake (such as a cat) providing the prey was prekilled humanely beforehand I just got my ear chewed off for saying that I thought the above was perfectly acceptable. I mean, everything's got to eat, right? Why is feeding...

Hey, everybody! Wow, it's been awhile since my last post...I'm not dead though. And of course, I have a problem...seems like I can't do anything with my herps without feeling the need to consult you guys first...I'm so pathetic. Anyways here's the problem: I want to do a complete change of the...

I sobbed for twenty minutes after I read this. I'd been rooting for the species, and now this happens. Sometimes I can't stand the human race. How could somebody do something like this? When does someone get so far past the line when they think something like this is okay...

Okay here's the scene: I meet a few (like, 3) fellow snake-lovers. We talk. we eat together at a sushi place (yummy!). Long story short, one of them claimed that corns were "wimpy" snakes. Obviously, the other two people and myself strongly disagreed..but still. Why do people think corns are...

Here's a scenario for you: Dexter (leopard gecko) won't drink water. Eats fine. Was showing signs of dehydration. Took him to 4 vets. All said he was fine except for the dehydration. Multiple fecal tests. All said gecko is fine (except for dehydration). After I rehydrated him (using a few...

Well, a little background first: For those of you who didn't see my other vent thread, I was attacked by a dog. The dog ripped a chunk of my arm so that it was kind of hanging. Yeah, been laid up for awhile. My doctor said to stay away from my herps until my arm healed a bit more, so that's...

I believe that corns are the perfect pet. They don't smell, they are easy to feed (a mouse every 10 days..how can you beat that?) and they are hardy. They don't need training, they don't make noise...wow. Move over, dogs and cats..we've found the holy grail of the pet world! :dancer:

I'm fed up with people lately! They are so stupid! stupid! stupid! stupid!:angry01: Here are my responses to the idiots: First, let me be clear: I'm not talking about anyone in this forum. I'm referring to people I've spoken to recently. Thank you all for letting me vent. Feel free to post...

I wanted to put this where I'd get a lot of responses... Ok...so we all probably know that within any hobby, there are "unwritten rules" associated with it. Like for surfing, you'd wait your turn for a wave, I assume. And for fishing, I assume people tell eachother when they find a good spot...

A co worker kept insisting to me that snakes don't eat prekilled prey. I'd brought cornflakes in so that everyone could watch her eat, and this chick kept insisting that my snake wouldn't eat it. So, when Cornflakes attacked the thawed mouse, I decided to play with my co workers a little: I...

I'd like to find some good herping places (cities and towns) in Michigan (preferably the lower penninsula, please). Thanks in advance.

I know we've all heard/seen/read about some weird snake incidents, and about people who don't deserve pets, let alone snakes. but this is really funny. I was talking with my hairdresser at the beauty salon who knows I keep snakes. Despite all the beauty salon employee stereotypes, she's really...

Ok, friend of a friend had a GREAT hatch-out from summer.. Now he's decided who to keep, and he's going to keep 12 of them. No idea what to name them. He wants a sushi-theme. but are there enough kinds of sushi? Can anyone help us out here? How many kinds of sushi are there and is there a web...

So, I rescued a female ball python (it's about 4.5ft long) from some nasty people. Get this: these people used the snake to scare people at halloween. Apparently they get so much halloween traffic in their area that this was worth it.They kept it in their basement during the rest of the year...

Hey, everyone. I have yet another dilemma. My baby corn, Darwin, is growing like a weed. For those of you who remember my other threads concerning him, I've managed to convert him to f/t food. and he's on small fuzzies now. but he still won't take food without rat blood smeared on it. after i...
