[main topaz]

Omg the fawnnnnn

Sometimes my coworkers would let them out and I would have to batman around the store and snatch them midflight like some weird ninja

[wintry thicket]

We got given them, someone closing their collection so we know nothing about them, no idea their genders or anything

[main topaz]

I wish I still had the photo, but one landed in the macaw cage, on the same branch as our greenwing and the size discrepancy was ridiculous

[wintry thicket]

They are so ridiculously small 😂 one egg so far hopefully we get some babies that don't need hand fed 😂

[main topaz]

Look for , along their wings on their body, a streak with freckles.
It's hard with mutations because they don't always show

[wintry thicket]

These two have zero markings bar the black tear stripe down the white ones face

[main topaz]

Shoot..
Okay so I am assuming then the white is the male, and the fawn is the female

Is there some color on the whites forehead, or is that shadow

[wintry thicket]

It's got a dark head but that's it marking wise

[main topaz]

Hmm.. could be a high-white silver pied

Also I mixed that up, fawn male, white female**

You can see the cheek spot on the fawn, looks like a round marking

[wintry thicket]

Doesn't help I can't really see shades very well 😂 there may well be markings I can't see

[main topaz]

Ohh. Lemme draw haha

[wintry thicket]

Oooo thank you! ♥️

[main topaz]

You can actually see it more clearly in the second batch of photos you sent.
He's a funky little mutation with inverse coloring haha

Instead of a black V, it's white

And instead of literally any actual color he's grey patched which makes me feel not fawn afterall

But maybe a grizzle? Are those white freckles?

[wintry thicket]

Think he was moulting or something there because they've since disappeared, his heads solid grey/brown

[main topaz]

Okay

[wintry thicket]

I'll try get better pictures when they come back from mums, the Cockatiels are currently residing in their cage and they're at mums 😂

Sent down two birds and might end up with 8 birds returned 😂

[main topaz]

Oh no hahaha

[wintry thicket]

Going by feathers today, we have three pearls

[main topaz]

omg yes. can finally clearly see it

[brisk patrol]

Chubby Buddy Bourbon falling asleep in the window.

[cunning kettle]

Yours looks exactly like mine

[wintry thicket]

Pearl pied?

[main topaz]

Looks it 😂

ALSO I found photos of my hen and her eggs and her husband and their one chungus baby who hatched

The white is my girl, Ecto
the regular lad was Mr Cheepers
and out of all the eggs, only that one hatched

and it had NO shortage of food, Ecto stuffed the poor thing silly.

[wintry thicket]

Awww look at them 🥺🥺

[magic kraken]

That’s a certified cheeper

I want one

I will name him zazu, the bird from lion king

I already have a cat named simba

[stray tapir]

This doofus is afraid of rain

[magic kraken]

Look at that little doofus

[wary wharf]

Oh yes, more ducks

[wintry thicket]

Sent this to a friend

Got this back

[magic kraken]

I don’t have any

[lost coyote]

Meet Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit. We call her Cheddar Bay.

[wary wharf]

i thought you were naming a street name mb 😭

[compact seal]

my hunting dog and her cat, shes spiled but when it comes to hunting shes great

[wary wharf]

All pets have to be spoiled, because they are too cute

[main topaz]

To be fair - would totally wash away if the rain was heavy enough

[stray tapir]

Good point

[south shell]

Looks like my old ball python

[pure sable]

Melanistic axolotl?

[round trench]

This is ole cane Corso Jade

[wary wharf]

i love doggos, beautiful cane corso!

[round trench]

Thanks

[tough mist]

What did I do wrong? I was brushing the steer, I look over, and I have this man staring me down.

[mint night]

Is that a python or some other kind of snake?

[crystal ivy]

That's looks like an python

[urban minnow]

so cute

[sinful mauve]

he looks like a good lil nope rope

[ocean sundial]

Our bird feeder found this guy with a missing upper mandible

[graceful bone]

These are my pups. June and Apollo.

[oblique smelt]

She's adorable.. I also have a ball python too~

[ripe swift]

How do you send pet pictures

Is my cat. His name is Hank

[wary wharf]

Sup frank

oh-

nvm its hank

[ripe swift]

Yeah

[ripe swift]

I used to have a dog but we had to get rid of him cuz he kept jumping over the fence and going other people's yards and play with their dog

[wary wharf]

thats a long beaked chicken

[pure sable]

It’s a pelican

[main topaz]

Hank has a twin with @stray tapir

[ripe swift]

Cool

[main topaz]

Why Winton look gray

Have you been feeding him enough sunlight

[ripe swift]

There was another cat in the litter that was orange. I just forgot his name

[stray tapir]

He solar charges half the day

I think it’s just the portrait mode settings

[ripe swift]

I didn't know cats had to charge. I only charge my cat Hank with my PlayStation cord that I use to charge my controllers

He's charging right now

[main topaz]

One of the breeders we bought from used to say that the more stripes on the back/tail in pearls meant females

Like the last Pic has a lot of stripes

[ripe swift]

But Hank is a male

I have another cat. Her name is jet. I just need to find her

[wintry thicket]

Was thinking it was a female as its so much quieter than the other two aswell

[main topaz]

Mine runs on EcoMode ALL the time. I don't charge him often

[ripe swift]

I also have guinea pigs

[main topaz]

I love them

I mean, I'm hella allergic to them, like need my inhaler and allergy meds - but I love them

[ripe swift]

The white one's name is baby and then the brown one's name is brownie

[main topaz]

They're cute

I took my dog swimming earlier

[ripe swift]

Cool

[ripe swift]

That cat is what I look like when I'm looking in the fridge for something to eat

This is my cat jet

[main topaz]

Cute tortie

[ripe swift]

Today I'm getting two more cats but we're just babysitting them cuz they're my friends, cats and their mom is going to like this military thing so then we're babysitting their cats

The middle finger scares my cats

[main topaz]

Hahaha wait'll they try to fight you about it

[ripe swift]

I hold my cats like they're babies

My cats act like they're in WWE cuz most of the time they fight each other like one will chase another and then they'll tackle each other somewhere and then they'll bite a bunch

[crystal ivy]

boop

[ripe swift]

Is anybody there

[brittle marlin]

Yes

[crystal ivy]

[wintry thicket]

The other two are so quiet and then there's the little one

[urban minnow]

dinosaur

[wintry thicket]

I think that's what he likes to pretend he is

[main topaz]

[fathom lodge]

he looks like your pfp i swear

[lost coyote]

Oooh I love baby mastiffs

[crystal ivy]

He's better then you at fortnite

[civic sail]

A rare moment of peaceful coexistence on the hoodie. Usually they fight over who gets to sit on it.

This despite the fact that it is quite obviously easily able to fit both of them

[main topaz]

well yeah

they both want the optimal spot obvs

[civic sail]

I mean, clearly

I should probably intervene more when they do it but I'd be lying if I said I didn't think it's hilarious to watch them each try to conquer it

[main topaz]

train'em to eah prefer a shoulder

and when they are there - they get treats haha

[civic sail]

Oh we've been working on it

It's complicated by the fact that grandma is living with us now and they adore her

They will even turn down treats if it means they get to sit on her

[main topaz]

lmao

No longer the chosen human

it's Grangrans flock

[south shell]

They're evil now

[fierce elk]

Rats are clean

It's where they live that make em dirty

[wary wharf]

[south shell]

Thanks

[south shell]

Rats are great pets

[terse eagle]

[plush panther]

[drifting pond]

I need to pet this dog

[fallow furnace]

Is that a miniature schnauzer because I have one

[crystal ivy]

They look like birds now and not dinosaurs

[wintry thicket]

They still sound like jurassic park raptors with sore throats

[crystal ivy]

Pretty normal

[wintry thicket]

Can't believe how much they've changed in three weeks

[crystal ivy]

On those photos they changed alot

[wintry thicket]

Even attitude wise, the big dark one is so cuddly. The middle one is so... Sassy and the little one is playful 😂

[crystal ivy]

They still look like they been in a bath.

[magic kraken]

What’s that pupper dogs name

[sonic leaf]

She doesnt want me to change

[fallen musk]

It’s a cockapoo a Cockerspaniel poodle mix

[crystal ivy]

That face makes me want to pet

[drifting pond]

[south shell]

Omg is that a dormouse

[orchid apex]

hes an african pygmy dormouse, very cute creatures, i have 4:)

they smell like stale fruit though

its weird

[south shell]

I love them

What's his name

[orchid apex]

i cant tell them apart... they're all called Splinter from TMNT

funniest idea iv ever had in my opinion 🤣

[south shell]

That's a great idea

[orchid apex]

they always come out when the food carton opens

[south shell]

They're so cute

How old do they get

[orchid apex]

about 5 years but some people say they've seen longer

they're protein animals

love mealworms and locusts

they love fruit too

and they will shxt everywhere and anywhere, even if its the food bowl, you will be cleaning shxt off of it tomorrow

[south shell]

Just like rats and mice

[south shell]

I mean anything can most likely live past their age

[fallen musk]

Little kimtim

First flight

[fickle smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-birds-dasticks-bird-flying-fly-gif-22152052

[fickle smelt]

but the bird is cute

[wintry thicket]

Feel like a proud mama 😂

[fickle smelt]

😂

[urban minnow]

thats the first thing that came to my mind when i saw the video plus i hadn’t scrolled all the way down to this message 😂

[wintry thicket]

I've been told I'm allowed to keep one of them seeing as their home fell through... How do you pick your favourite feathered child 😂

[magic kraken]

That’s a nice pupper dog

[fickle smelt]

the cat looks chinese

he was like: nah that ain´t your couch any more

[wanton canopy]

look at deez:D

[fickle smelt]

and who is nuts?

[fickle smelt]

the blonde dog looks like he is very aggressive

[wanton canopy]

no his lip got stuck on the kennel

i can show a better one

[fickle smelt]

no no need to it just looks kind of funny

😅

[wanton canopy]

oh ok👍

[main topaz]

You don't 😭
You keep them all on accident

but also like, which one is closest bonded to you when they wean

[wintry thicket]

I know it won't be the one with an attitude problem 😂

[main topaz]

I can see the windup to:

[sharp wharf]

one of many snakes I keep.

[fallen musk]

So cute

[crystal ivy]

The sound when it lands is so cute.

[fickle smelt]

those are walking sticks from the meme

and yes they are real

[wintry thicket]

My pet box of dirt showed its inhabitants for the first time in six months

[fickle smelt]

cute

[urban minnow]

keep all three of them pleaseee

[crystal ivy]

How big do they get fully grown

[wintry thicket]

Around about a 30cm wingspan maybe a little smaller than a dove

[crystal ivy]

That's pretty decent size

Only cause I saw that flying video and it looked big

[main topaz]

Get stickbugged!

https://tenor.com/view/stick-bug-stick-bugged-bug-dancing-bug-dancing-gif-18059923

[fickle smelt]

😂

[main topaz]

I'm sure thats a display of some kind.. and probably a threat response or something

but I also desperately wanna see all of them do it in unison 😭

[crystal ivy]

He can dance

[main topaz]

From forehead to tailtip - about 13" long, if you are NA
about 19-20" wingtip to wingtip

[crystal ivy]

Oh okay

[main topaz]

between 2-5 ounces in weight - lil bbs

Ecto

Archimedes 😄

[crystal ivy]

Ecto looks so smooth

[main topaz]

She wassss (is, she just no longer lives with me)

[crystal ivy]

Oh

[main topaz]

I was not able to bring her when I moved to EU - so I rehomed her with one of my coworkers

[crystal ivy]

That's alright then

As long as they have a home

[main topaz]

Also had to leave this terrorist behind.

He chose me, even though we only saw him for boarding purposes - or daycares; and his human who was older kept trying to give him to me.
(I couldn't accept, my living situation was not good for him)
But Thomas was a sweetheart. I could just do whatever with him.

[crystal ivy]

Og

Oh

[south shell]

I love Thomas

[main topaz]

Bruh, same. He was a riot - he would tapdance, count with beak taps, yell along with the winnie the pooh song

[south shell]

Oh my god he could tapdance?

[main topaz]

There was a car crash in the parking lot by the window he was perched at and he flew screaming to me, crawling into my shirt haha
Same with a big thunder crash

[south shell]

I need to meet the bird

[main topaz]

sorta - you could tap your nails on the table tops and he would stomp his feet

so like. ... the equivalent of tap dancing

[south shell]

But for birds..

[main topaz]

yes haha

[south shell]

Birds are the best

[crystal ivy]

Have you seen that thing of that bird doing the bacon pancakes dance on YouTube j think it was

[main topaz]

Yes haha

[crystal ivy]

That was funny

[main topaz]

a quaker

they're also great. Have raised so many of them 😄

[south shell]

Until it comes to being sensitive to pretty much everything

And only head pets...

[main topaz]

this is where pigeons come in clutch

they can be pet everywhere and not get the same honry response of parrots

[south shell]

That's true

I love pigeons..

[crystal ivy]

Swimming

[main topaz]

yis

[main topaz]

Saaaaame. Such neat little birds 😄

[crystal ivy]

Wood pigeons are big

[crystal ivy]

Dog

[fading cosmos]

My baby

[crystal ivy]

This my dog

She is lazy

[fading cosmos]

Awwwwww

[crystal ivy]

But 11 years old so it's understandable

[fading cosmos]

So cute

[crystal ivy]

She eats anything

[fading cosmos]

Like me fr

[main topaz]

I love her

[south shell]

Starlings are great too

[crystal ivy]

I like most parrots

[main topaz]

Yes! We had one we ended up taking in for end of life care at the store -
His name was Louie and he was like.. 14 or 15 or so

[main topaz]

Parrots are bae

[crystal ivy]

I don't have a bird of my own but I'm hoping to get one when I move out

[main topaz]

this monster is "Not Becky"

[crystal ivy]

Not becky

[main topaz]

... same species, younger, same attitude as her predecessor, "Becky"

[crystal ivy]

That sounds was scary

[south shell]

Aww rest in peace Louie

[crystal ivy]

I'm guessing it's slower

[main topaz]

we weren't allowed to name them, if they were babies, so we came up with references for them among the staff haha

and yes, slowed on accident.

[main topaz]

He was a nut. We had to keep trimming his beak cos he wouldn't forage in the gravel/dirt part of his cage bottom and wear it down

and it would get stuck in his feathers while preening

[crystal ivy]

That's alright at least it doesn't sound like that normally

[main topaz]

Arguably the slow noise is... nicer? Ekkie screams are not piercing in pitch - but they are aggressively loud

I would rather deal with macaw and cockatoo screams than Eclectus

[crystal ivy]

Oh okay

[main topaz]

The bird eating in the Syringe is Becky, blessedly being quiet.

The last video, Harley is the older bird looking at his baby brother Arlo

[crystal ivy]

Would the mum eat the baby?

[fading cosmos]

W

[fickle smelt]

perfect

[main topaz]

No - But the owner of the parent birds would not stop breeding them and wasn't taking care of the babies very well, so we took two of them

This is actually something you would post in #🦌︴trophies 😄

[crystal ivy]

Oh okay

[fading cosmos]

Oh

K

[main topaz]

Yeah.. in a matter of "these wont survive here, and the parents need a break" we offered to take them in with the rights to place them responsibly

My boss ended up keeping Harley and wanted to give me Arlo, but again, moving ruined those plans 😂

[crystal ivy]

Oh okay

[main topaz]

I did get to raise Harley a bit and teach him how to fly and stuff. He was such a sweet bird 😄

[wintry thicket]

My youngest wants a parrot so bad, I don't think he understands it's essentially a toddler in his life for decades

[main topaz]

100%

I love Thomas with all my heart - but mans is a perpetual 4 year old

and they are led purely by impulse half the time haha

Thomas wants walnut?
THOMAS WANTS WALNUT.

[magic kraken]

Snooper selfie

[crystal ivy]

He wants to see what you doing

[south shell]

He doesn't like hibiscus

[main topaz]

but whyyyy :C

[south shell]

He's spoiled according to Caleb

I got 3 hibiscus bushes just for him and he doesn't like them

[main topaz]

Well it's not spoiling if they like this sort of thing regularly

[south shell]

They seek it out in the wild too..

I'll just sneak some hibiscus into some mulberry leaves because I know he loves those

It's like a parent trying to get their kid to eat their vegetables

He's going to get hibiscus if he likes it or not!!

[main topaz]

😂

and if he never does, now you have three beautiful plants

mine keeps trying to blossom and the buds pop off because she is a dramatic queen

[south shell]

Mine are is doing amazing

One died but it's magically coming back a year later

[stray tapir]

Bro has a squirrel and didn’t tell us

[south shell]

Smh

[wintry thicket]

That doesn't sound much different to my kids 😂😂

[wintry thicket]

I wish I could I really do, but I don't have the room for the three once they're fully grown and they can't live out of their cage 24/7 because of the spaniel 😭😭

[main topaz]

He was a soul-bird, As was the greenwing macaw -

the two of them were just.. so sweet.

[crystal ivy]

i just seen this giant barn owl flying outside

[main topaz]

beautifulllll

[main topaz]

I think Left is a female

[wintry thicket]

She has better recall than my dog

[main topaz]

omg such good flight alreaadyyyy

[wintry thicket]

The suspected male (cinnamon one) took his first flight today too

[rustic vortex]

Would you mind if I sent a photo of my dog into the group?

[south shell]

Not at all

[rustic vortex]

Sorry it is more then one I lied

And one more sorry

[quick quiver]

cute birb

[main topaz]

She was incredibly cute, until she was latched on and refusing to let go.
Stinkin Not-Becky

[quick quiver]

so the dinosaur noises are accurate 😂

[main topaz]

Yes

Jokes aside, she really was pretty alright for an eclectus. I think I coulda gotten her very friendly if we had kept her

But she found a good home fairly quickly

[quick quiver]

i may be too much of a nerd but it's so crazy to me that birds are dinosaurs

[round cedar]

My puppets

[quick quiver]

they look precious

[shadow pagoda]

Anyone here have experience target training reptiles?

[main topaz]

We worked on it a little bit with the black throat monitor before I moved,
So I mean it's not a LOT of experience.. but I might know something?

What's up

[shadow pagoda]

I'm just debating target training my falsies

I've seen people do it, I just wanted to hear first hand how difficult it is

Basically get their feeding response under control

These two

[main topaz]

I am unsure how well they would adapt tbh.
Snake brain is a bit smoother than monitor brain I feel

That said, we used a pomeranian sized tennis ball jammed onto and hot glued in place on a stick

Every time Elvis booped it he got rewarded.

Unsure how you would translate that to snakeysnake

[shadow pagoda]

The intelligence is why I'm doing these instead of a python. These are apparently natural problem solvers. They even herd fish in the wild.

[main topaz]

Do you have a feed box that is apart and away from their living enclosure? Or do you feed "in house" so to speak

[main topaz]

Oh that's nuts haha

[shadow pagoda]

In house normally. I found a video tutorial on it. The lady has a degree in animal behavior and she says falsies are her favorite to train

[main topaz]

Oh right on

[shadow pagoda]

She claims their intelligence is on a similar level to some monitors

To the point of chosing enrichment over food

[main topaz]

[shadow pagoda]

I ordered some lollipop targets, they broke my homemade ones

[main topaz]

Haha but of course

[shadow pagoda]

Hot glue and a ping pong ball wasn't the most sturdy

Now I just need their lights to come in and I can get them into their permanent homes

[pliant stump]

What is a falsie?

[main topaz]

False water cobra iirc

[pliant stump]

Cool

[shadow pagoda]

As tyk said false water cobra

[pliant stump]

Researched them, cool snake

[shadow pagoda]

Might need help, I found a garter snake in a sticky trap. I managed to get him out with the olive oil trick. What else should I do?

@main topaz any advise? His scales are in rough shape, but he is breathing normally and moving around

I do have experience caring for garters if I need to

[main topaz]

I would keep him calm as possible, and run your fingers over him - see that there's no stickies left on him

[magic kraken]

Take him outside

[main topaz]

give him a couple hours to vibe - if he seems recovered and there's no real damage to his scales set the lad free

if he seems a bit wibbly wobbly, house him overnight and repeat the check tomorrow

and by damage I mean - they aren't ripped off/free bleeding

[shadow pagoda]

No sticky stuff on him, I think he was in shed to the scales aren't as bad as they look

[main topaz]

if they're just kinda scrungly - letting him vibe for a bit will let him set his skin straight

[shadow pagoda]

He's been in a deli cup with holes for air for an hour. He stuck at me when I checked him, so i think that's good

[main topaz]

probably he will be fine

spicy noodle

[shadow pagoda]

Ok i'll let him go by the creek later

[main topaz]

sounds good

if nothing looks distorted and he can move/acts like he should - prolly absolutely is okay

[shadow pagoda]

His eyes are blue, I think the scales that came off were shed skin. He can move and hiss perfectly fine

[main topaz]

Yeah

poor lil blind lad
tuck him into a log or soemthing

[shadow pagoda]

Will do, do you think the creek is better or the brush pile

He was technically closer to the brush pile, but still 100 yards away

[main topaz]

ehh.. I mean brush piles probably his stomping grounds

[shadow pagoda]

Took him to the brush pile, saw 2 more when I was releasing him

[main topaz]

Ah yes, his homies were out in force

[patent lagoon]

Aye what’s up with the discord rn

There’s like no servers are they cleaning up or something

@main topaz

[ancient widget]

Sweetie's Birthday! 🎉

[south shell]

@stray tapir

[stray tapir]

Yes dad?

[south shell]

Look at the cute beagle

[stray tapir]

Very cute bagel indeed

Put those grippers up

Them dogs ain’t what they meant by pets

[south shell]

Ur mouse looks lumpy

Also idk if that's pine wood or not but it's bad for mice!! Unless I think if it's kiln-dried it should be good..?

Jabba the hut

[main topaz]

Were you using mobile?

[patent lagoon]

Yea

[main topaz]

Sometimes mobile doesn't load up all the way. Kill the app entirely and reopen it - should be fine

[kindred silo]

She Is little ruzzler

[wintry thicket]

I feel judged for bathing them...

[crystal ivy]

that's one blue dog

[shadow pagoda]

Part of me wants to buy something that is potentially stupid

Someone near me has an eastern indigo that I kinda want

[crystal ivy]

Dog?

Oh snake

[main topaz]

Uhm you should because gorgeous

[shadow pagoda]

But space and money say no

[crystal ivy]

get more job then more money to buy bigger house and another job to get money to get snake

[urban minnow]

the three musketeers

[crystal ivy]

it looks like it tbh

[orchid apex]

@south shell

[south shell]

I love them

[celest temple]

What's thsi

Rats or smth

[orchid apex]

african pygmy dormice

also called microsquirrels

[celest temple]

Basicly rats

[orchid apex]

i mean no

they're mice

its in the name

[celest temple]

Rats with furry tails

Ok they are mice if u say so

[celest temple]

How many are there though

[south shell]

Omgg what morph is the 1st

Gorgeous

[shadow pagoda]

And the angry boy

[shadow pagoda]

Hypo whiteside

[south shell]

Beautiful

[thick current]

I can’t wait till I move out I wanna ball python so bad

[south shell]

I'd love a bullsnake but they're "huge"

And bitey sometimes

[shadow pagoda]

They make great pets,

[thick current]

Hognose is another I’d love to have

[south shell]

Corn snakes are great snakes too

[shadow pagoda]

They are only bitey if you smell like food

[south shell]

Dude the lavender morph is so beautiful

[thick current]

Hognoses are jus like dogs

[shadow pagoda]

My lavender fwc

[south shell]

Aww

[shadow pagoda]

But picky eaters

[south shell]

Very

[shadow pagoda]

I'm going to try and target train my bullsnakes and fwc

Shush

Then don't come here

[thick current]

Sugar and desert ghost are two of my top morphs for ball. Can’t remember my favorite it’s been years since I’ve looked at morphs

[south shell]

That's a good idea

[shadow pagoda]

Look up lightning pieds

[south shell]

Umm

[shadow pagoda]

How is this ok?

[south shell]

It's not

I'm surprised he's not gone yet

[thick current]

I remember those!

[south shell]

You

[shadow pagoda]

That's the equivalent of saying I will shoot your dog

[thick current]

No offense but knock it off. Pet pics isn’t the place for that

[shadow pagoda]

Well yes

[south shell]

They are

People love their snakes the same way they'd love a cat or dog

[shadow pagoda]

Looks at cats

[thick current]

Dogs are predators too, just like cats

[south shell]

So are dogs and cats..?

[thick current]

I’ve gotta dip, @ me if anything happens

[shadow pagoda]

And most rodents are cannibals what's your point?

[south shell]

Yeah I can confirm this

Had my mice have babies and oh my god

[thick current]

And hamsters eat their babies

[south shell]

No more babies

[shadow pagoda]

And each other

It was a war

[thick current]

Rodents get random cravings/urges and kill

[shadow pagoda]

If hamsters think they are overpopulated genocide occurs

[thick current]

Skunks also kill their mates too, especially if they’re not neutered

[south shell]

I used to breed mice

Good times but bad

[shadow pagoda]

I wasn't allowed rodents growing up

My mother was dealthy afraid

Ok???

[south shell]

I'd recommend rats or mice for your 1st rodents but that wouldn't mix well with owning snakes

[shadow pagoda]

I'd only breed them for snake food...

[thick current]

It ain’t just mammals too, birds will kill their mate and do necro stuff, or do it with random dead stuff

[south shell]

Otters too

[shadow pagoda]

Looks at Adelle penguins

Those poor scientists

[south shell]

They'll ermm no way to put it without the message getting deleted

Otters will do it with baby seals until they die

[shadow pagoda]

Yeah...

[south shell]

And then do it while the corpse is rotting

[thick current]

And with babies otters

[south shell]

And dolphins kill baby dolphins to gang do it with the mom

[shadow pagoda]

Oh to be young

[south shell]

Seal

[shadow pagoda]

Anyway

[thick current]

People think animals are innocent and pure but look what they do. I love animals but there’s no denying how disgusting a major part of them are as well they are animals

[south shell]

I did too but only because the rainbow boa was a picky azzhole and wouldn't eat frozen thaw no matter how hard I tried

[shadow pagoda]

Yeah

[south shell]

Yrp

[shadow pagoda]

Only time I've had to feed live was for my hatchlings

[south shell]

I still have one of the mice I bred for feeding purposes

[south shell]

Shockingly he came out ORANGE.

[shadow pagoda]

Baby

[south shell]

Mama was albino and the dad was a brown spotted

I was super surprised

Didn't expect to get 4 orange mice..

[shadow pagoda]

I won't say what i wanna say

No

[south shell]

Awe they're adorable

What else do you breed?

[shadow pagoda]

So far just ball pythons

I have a pair of bulls that probably won't ever be bred. I had a pair of timor pythons, but the male died

And I have a pair of fwc

Het lavender and lavender

[south shell]

Any specific morphs?

[shadow pagoda]

I mainly do pieds and vpi axanthic

But I'm planning to rehome most because I'm going to college again

[south shell]

Aw that sucks

I love Timor pythons

[shadow pagoda]

They're beautiful

[south shell]

They really are

Carpet pythons are beautiful too

[south shell]

@shadow pagoda

[shadow pagoda]

So ugly it's kinda cute

[south shell]

I call her little rat

[shadow pagoda]

How big is she?

Also a face only a dog mom could love

[south shell]

She's like 5 pounds

Size of a New York rat

[shadow pagoda]

I was about to say.

I've seen rats that look bigger

[south shell]

She's mean

To our other dogs at least

[shadow pagoda]

As all chihuahuas are

[south shell]

Tries to bite them

But she barely has any teeth

So more like gums them

[shadow pagoda]

My statement stands

Nah mostly just chihuahuas

[prime marsh]

Meet maple the newest addition to the family

[south shell]

[grand chasm]

[shadow pagoda]

I thought so, I had a smaller boa for a while. He was a hybrid of some sort I rescued

This was mine

[grand chasm]

You seem like a good person then

Nice how big

[shadow pagoda]

He was probably 4 ft, so just over a meter
