Snake-sitting

[Mary-Beth]

My own son wouldn't speak as you do to ANYONE, especially someone he's never met or knows. Again, grow up! And get a frickin' life for the love of God- 22 yrs. old and nothing to do? Go get laid, asshole.

Oh the irony.

^^Now really, WHO is making NO sense here? Are you seriously making conclusions that I drink everynight? I'm a 47 yr. old diabetic with a heart condition. If I drink, I die. I'm 6' and weigh 128. Please think before you speak. I've been nearly dead 3 times. You need your mouth washed out with soap. My own son wouldn't speak as you do to ANYONE, especially someone he's never met or knows. Again, grow up! And get a frickin' life for the love of God- 22 yrs. old and nothing to do? Go get laid, asshole.

You're really lacking on the intelligence side of things if you thought my comment about going to the bar was at all related to you. My point was that I'd rather come sit online and read the forums and take care of my snakes than go out every single night to drink like MANY college students do.

Perhaps you should sit back and relax, because the world isnt about you---as you clearly think it is. Nobody was implying or making conclusions about you drinking. If i'm going to imply something or make a concluision, you're going to know it. It won't be subtle.

Again, what does your heart condition or you being a diabetic have to do with this conversation? Oh that's right, you thought my bar comment was directed towards you. Just more proof that you cannot read a post and interpret what is being said.

Furthermore, I find it funny that you claim that your 22 year old woudlnt speak to anyone like I have, yet you turn around and tell me to get laid, and then call me an asshole. What a prime example you're setting for your child, don't ya think?

Oh the irony.

^LOLOLOL. I'm crackin' up here. Good observation. I AM the asshole, and I wear it with pride. Totally contradictory it seems. However, it's not really ironic. Now I again get to be the asshole, I guess.

A guy goes up to the 20th floor of his girlfriends apt. to break up with her. He does so. Leaves. She can't emotionally handle it and proceeds to jump off her balcony. Lands on and kills him as he exits the building, but he softened her fall and she survives. Irony.

I don't think he cares. After all, his son would never speak like that.

That's enough fellas. Both of the major protagonists in this thread now have a three day suspension. I want the name calling on this site to CEASE right now.

No problem, just glad you spelt Neill with two L's (must do not and assume I don't know how to spell my own name)

This has been by far the most interesting read on the entire forum....
and here I thought everyone was so much more mature than the people on some of the other forums I've visited, lol.

I guess you haven't read too many threads then.
Go find "The History of the LAVA gene..." if you want an interesting read.

If you look at how little moderator intervention is required here, I think you'll find that the members here are generally more mature in their posting than members of many/most other forums. I'm always a little surprised at some of the behavior I see when I lurk in Fauna, since Rich Z. is the admin of that site as well. It's very different from this board. Obviously Rich wants a more civilized atmosphere here on cs.com. I prefer the atmosphere here.

Not to be a brown-noser or anything but I like how this place is run. I also belong to a couple of pet rat forums, one is fairly boring and one is moderated to the point that you can't say anything that anyone else disagrees with...they are GREAT for information but they don't feel like home.

Yes, I know I am weird, neither rat lovers or snake lovers really understand me, since I love both. To me, snakes are beautiful interesting creatures, their food is pre-dead and in my freezer, and rats are my buddies.......

Hiya DinoNeill-
just saw your post (am ignoring the ensuing debate LOL).
I went to college 23 hours away from home (not a typo) and most times I came back my critters came with me. At the time it was two mud turtles and some hermit crabs. I too was concerned about the weather changes, but had not a single problem-I wrapped their containers in a thick blanket to avoid escapes and keep the heat in. When I got them home, they were slowly warmed back up-and had no problems!
Twice I left my turtles other places while I was gone... one place he got out and they couldn't find him (I foundhim 5 minutes after I got there under a desk, been there a couple days but was ok). The other place he didn't get out (I tied his aquarium shut) but went off of his feed .... luckily he ate when he saw me.
If it's cold out, grab some of those hand warming packets from WalMart or sporting goods supply places-theya re cheap and last a while. You could put those under his travel container and wrap the whole thing in a blanket-it'll stay warm plenty long enough unless you plan on buying the whole mall... I'd take them with, if anything happens to them while you're gone you'll forever kick yourself (trust me).. good luck with them!

Ok, I'm home now and I ended up taking the corn with me afterall...you guys made me feel guilty about leaving her behind/I wanted to show her growth off to my family. Sadly something's wrong with her heat lamp again (won't work at all) so I have another lamp set up for the night until I can get a new one tomorrow.

 

[Preita]

Bummer about the lamp, but its usually best to bring home the critters. If you would have left her you would have worried....because we all do! lol

(We were gone to Vegas for 3 days and I worried more about the snake than the cats!)

 

[DinoNeill]

Yeah, I also didn't want to ruin the streak of me being the only one to ever take care of her (minus the breeder when she was just a youngling)...I had her crusing on the new heated tile floors, she really likes em! XD

 

[starsevol]

I am glad you took her home..one is soooo easy. If you dont mind being pooed on you can even put her in a pillowcase and tuck her under your coat for warmth....as long as you arent in danger of getting in an accident and getting hit by the airbag...for what its worth, I think you made the right decision. Bummer about the lamp though.

 

[Preita]

I'm sure she really likes them, I'd love them, especially in the bathroom! I'm jealous of your heated tile floors :twoguns: lol

 

[DinoNeill]

*walks around on said tiles in bare feet*
Ahhhh, so warm...so comforatable. lol
