lemme go! I'm sleeping!
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. They fed it a live mouse (It's over 4ft long! That's nowhere near enough food, right?) every month. It had no substrate in its 30 gallon tank. It's heat source was a lamp. not a reptile lamp, a regular reading lamp. No water dish. They took it out to drink every week. They claimed that they didn't want to deal with a tipped-over water dish. They sold it to me for $5. Apparently they had gotten it for free.
Anyways, I didn't have any f/t mice to feed. My breeders are for pinky-making, so I do order feeders (chicks) online. My order was supposed to have arrived, but..ya know how it is. Pet store did'nt have any f/t mice. No live mice. No rats. No f/t rats. No chicks. So I bought 3 hamsters. The lady who'd been helping (did I say helping? I meant nervously hovering over my shoulder while I looked at rodents and birds) me knows I keep snakes. In fact, she's repeatedly nagged me about feeding rodents to snakes. She's one of those people who believes everything should be vegetarian, especially "your nasty snakes". Yes she actually called my snakes nasty. :angry01:
Well, I brought the three hamsters to the check-out, where little miss veggie was waiting. She asked about the hamsters. I told her that the hamsters were a present for someone (well it was kinda true!). She relaxed a bit. Then her eyes caught my leather jacket. She's all "you know where that leather came from?" and I replied, "oh I know exactly where it came from. that's why I loooooove it!" and she just turned kinda pale. :crazy02:
Well anyways, I got home fed off the three hamsters (which I killed accidentally when i dropped the box and it fell down the stairs).
So, how was your day? lol
P.S. A week later the bp took some f/t chicks. She's going to be a gift for my brother. He's been wanting a snake, and since I keep them he's been asking me if I can hook him up with a bp. :laugh:
