Fuzzie for a baby corn? (4 month 10-11g)

Go hatch a dragon. (The blue one's my favorite. It'd make a good tattoo.)

I have a thing about freezing mice for 5+ days. I dislike food when it's been frozen for ages, and I'd imagine my snakes have opinions too. I breed my mice, so I know exactly what's been going into them, 'cause that's what's going into my snake. When they're the right size, I freeze 'em, but $h!1 happens, dude! Life doesn't always go perfect (atleast not in my trailer park).

Trust me. I haven't had a job for 5 months. I know that stuff happens.
(And yes, the blue one would make an awesome tat)
 
If you know that stuff happens, why oh why are we still arguing?

(Btw.. Try WalMart. It's degrading, I know, but they'll hire you instantly if you speak English, and sometimes even if you don't!)

Because things can be done to make sure that your animals always have the best care. I've sold stuff on e-bay and at pawn shops to make sure that I could care for my animals before.
(Oh, btw, WalMart isn't hiring... neither is KMart, Target, Burger King, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, Winn Dixie, etc. I haven't seen a singe "Now Hiring" sign in months. Even the classified ads are dead!)
 
Dude, if you haven't noticed, I'm always home. Why?: I sold my car for $500 so I wouldn't have to get rid of my horses. And now that my mare's broke, I still have transportation (here, it really isn't that uncommon). My problem with properly sized mice isn't money, it's the fact that I can't ride my barefoot horse 50 miles in the snow to buy iced mice from Petzone. It's not realistic. If I was a wizard (or a dragon hatcher) I could magically zap the mice to the right size, but I can't.

It cannot happen~

Even if I wasn't a jerk, I would still have this same problem.

So..
Really, you aren't accomplishing anything by tasslin' with me. My snakes are in good health (except the one from that 50-snake pile-up, nasty dent) so, really, I'm not worried about it. My snakes have medicine they take incase they regurge (which isn't a constant occurance) so I can say with confidence that I'm not abusing or neglecting them.

I'm doing the best I can, and so far, it's more than satisfactory.

..Omg. Norma was about to strike at your picture. Coolest snake evarrr.

As long as you're not overfeeding, I guess it really doesn't matter. It's just that meals that are too large and people treating regurges like they're nothing really get to me. I've lost a snake to regurges, and to me, it's no laughing matter, or even something to be taken as lightly as you were describing earlier.
 
For some people I can see where it could be serious, but for me, it's just not. I bought every type of medication I thought I'd ever need when I got my first corn, and it's done its job. I know it's healthier in the long run not to flood a body with chemicals, but the way Drake used to puke.. It was a necessary thing even when the meal was under the recommended size. He has a very sensitive stomach. Like a kid with athsma. He has an athsma attack, so you give him an inhaler, and he's all better.

Truth be told, if I did lose a snake to a regurge, I'd probably have a different outlook on it, but honestly, (to me) it seems nearly the same as a human puking.. Just more.. Solid and icky.

I can feel your loathing for my personality through the screen of my moniter, but that doesn't mean I'm going to change. I yam wh00t I yam. *Popeye dance*

The only part of your personality that I really do loathe is your arrogance and unwillingness to take advice from anyone. You don't listen, and (this is just how it looks from my end) don't even want to hear anyone's opinions but your own. You post solely for the intention of getting people to argue with you so you have something to do (again, this is just how it looks on my end). However, I've also seen some of your posts that are very well thought out, and educated, so I know you can't be an entirely awful person. I'd just like to see more of that person, and less of the one on the cross.
 
Honestly, I hate arguing. It exhausts me like you cannot imagine. To me, all of my posts are exactly the same. So, if you were in my shoes, you'd be feeling awfully confused about why some of your posts get praise and others get you burned at the stake.

I'd name my mental disorder (or whatever you kids call it nowadays) but I don't know if that will give me understanding or just a bunch of persnickety little snarkicisms.

Every so often (like that business with Walen) something happens either to me or someone else (concerning me) that I will find to be extremely amusing, and I can't help but poke at it again and again, like when you encounter your first venemous snake. You know you shouldn't mess with it, but it's just too damn interesting.

We've already discussed your disorder in another thread, and you already know my opinions on that matter. As far as all of your postings sounding/looking the same, they really don't. As I said before, I've seen quite a few of your posts where you seem like a fine individual. But then you turn around and post things that are just so incredibly rude or childish, it's hard to believe it's the same person.
(Oh, and :rofl: at poking the venomous snake)
 
Rofl! I never had anything against tubs! I shouldn't have even said tubs! It had nothing to do with the tubs.. What I was concerned about is that the snake had never been handled and would bite the hell out of me whenever I wanted to hold her. What I was thinking of when I said that was those big.. Like.. Those speed-rack things with the bazillion tubs all stacked up. 'Cause (although I've never had/handled one) it looks like it would be a hell of alot of trouble to find the bin you wanted and take out your snake for handling every so often. I should have said "I want a snake that won't eat me, please."

Actually, the rack system is very efficient for feedings and such. It's not so bad for handling, either! Just slide out the tub you want instead of undoing the bazillion locks and clamps I have on my vivs (I'm paranoid about escapes).
 
My snakes are underpriveleged. They live in tanks with rocks ontop, lol. Except for the two n00bs (Rose & Sly), who live in.. Omg.. TUBS!

I've only had one escape, and of course it was my nastiest snake. Didn't help that I found him in my boot. I don't think I'll ever be able to put my shoes on again without looking thoroughly.

I did lose a treefrog for months in my house, and I actually found him again. It was kind of sad. He had been living in my bathroom sink drain (it doesn't have a plugger) and I spit toothpaste down there, and he came flying out with his eyes clamped shut. He still glares at me whenever I walk by his viv.
