It's annoying how close-minded people are, I agree. Although, she may have said that just to get a rise out of everyone. Not that that makes her any better of a person. Internet trolls abound. :T Good on you for sticking up for snakes, though. :]

Thanks.

I hate when people do that. People are always calling Rats filthy creatures that stupid and dirty but i own a rat and he's probably smarter and possibly cleaner then most of my lizards, Except Achilles who responds to 3 Glass taps which means feeding time. But any way, When people hate on a Certain animal i can't say i would care if they died, Because half the time they are the ones uploading videos of them being killed in traps, Videos of them being tortured slowly and thats what makes me feel de - Sensitized towards them. Just because we can understand a persons suffering dosent mean animals don't feel it because we can't hear them.

Yeah it really bugs me. I hate when people call rats\mice dirty, snakes\lizards slimy and gross, or any other animal something like that when they've never even owned or possibly even seen one in real life or touched one and yet they still judge them by myths and what they've heard or just seen. Rats are a very clean creature, organizing there cage into seperate sections for different purposes. It especially gets me mad about snakes though because everyone always says there evil because they sometimes bite people and kill small animals and i'm always like "well if someone was messing with you and you had no arms or legs what would you do?" or "you eat meat, no difference". People are always judging snakes and i hate it!

Wow i was so mad i just wrote a paragraph!! Haha.

LOL Yeah, Exactly. I may get into Ball pythons. When i was at NARBC i got to see a Axanthic and i thought it was super cool!

 

[Rylee]

You should. My babies were kinda bitey at first but they turned out to be really sweet snakes. Can't wait to breed them (when there older of course!), i want a piebald lol! I love ball python genetics. Combo-morphs are very easy to make, and the genetics just seem easier to me than lizards, but in summer time im still going to try to hit the odds for a electric tangerine enigma from my leos! Well, im getting off topic. Yeah, i hate judgemental people. You never know how they can change though. My grandmother hates (or used to!) snakes, but i made her come over and see the new snakes and she said: "wow those are actually really pretty!". She now will even pet them and asked me how there doing everytime i see her lol.

 

[Geckomaster743]

Yeah, Im not a breeder. Ive heard that it can take years out of there lives, Space is an issue and i can't be prepared to have a Gecko have there egg get stuck and require a emergency surgery. Im guessing your Reptiles are on good terms with your parents? I have to haul 7 Cages back and forth from Moms House to Dads House.

 

[Rylee]

Well they definitely aren't fond of them but they let me keep them in my room, they don't really care about the geckos too much but as long as I don't handle the snakes outside of my room and they don't get loose there fine with them. My two friends who help run my the my website saved up for any emergencies or anything like that. We don't have as much as we used to, because we took $200 out of it for the snakes, but right now we have about $180 for anything that happens. We got all the money by having a garage sale, lol.

 

[Geckomaster743]

Ohhhh cool, I would love to be a breeder but my parents don't care too much about the Reptiles so until i can drive no ones going to drive me at 10:30 PM.

 

[Rylee]

Yeah thats what i'm always worried about. But hopefully if i pay, someone will volunteer.

 

[Josh2]

Wow - what a response from that lady. Why do people have to be so brash and rude? I'll never understand it!

 

[Rylee]

Me either! She could've kept her mouth shut or just said "I dont like snakes"
