O_O

[riskpig]

………my friend has made me curious

[maryburgers]

help me roger

[maryburgers]

Update: after I reblogged this someone messaged me offering me tickets to the sold out Hausu screening with a Q&A and autograph session with the director

[zombbeans]

These never work for me, but here’s to trying.

[strangenewclassrooms]

I don’t believe in these things

But last time I reblogged one ten/fifteen minutes later I got a call offering me a job

But I reblogged it because I was waiting on hearing back from the job. So there you go.

Roger is cute.

[sugared-violets]

Eh Roger is cute I might as well

[secondlina]

That fish is so happy it makes me happy.

[cinnappo]

Reblogging myself because I reblogged this yesterday and got promoted today!

[californiakingme]

Why not. Do me a solid Roger

[maryburgers]

[thesqhq-blog]

C’mon Roger. I need you.

[growlift-deactivated20161002]

Help me get mew

[lauraannegilman]

a) Roger is a cutie.

b) someone who reblogs this might positive-think themselves into something wonderful even without Roger’s help.

[taraljc]

I will never doubt Roger again. After I reblogged him, a box with two Integrity dolls I’d ordered back in OCTOBER that the USPS had lost was delivered yesterday.

Someone: I got a pet rock :)

Tumblr: What breeder did you get it from? What substrate are you using? What’s it’s diet like? Are you handling it too much? Is the temp right in its tank? That’s a bad morph of a rock, did you not read it’s wiki? You really shouldn’t have gotten a pet rock without having exactly what you needed right off the bat. Why are you mad? If you didn’t want feed back, why’d you post pictures?

[teleos]

Someone: I got a pet rock :)

Tumblr: Here’s some husbandry advice.

Someone: oops rock died lol

Rock: Nothing, it’s fucking dead. (Also, a rock.)

[condy-sniper-deactivated2016050]

This is exactly what I’m talking about.

[teleos]

Yeah, it’s weird how I give much less of a fuck about the hurt feelings of delicate humans than whether or not an animal is lying dead, emaciated and dehydrated, in a shitty, filth-covered cage.

I guess it’s a symptom of old age.

[condy-sniper-deactivated2016050]

That’s common sense though, you shouldn’t have a reptile starving or dehydrated in a filthy cage everyone knows that, but like bashing someone for what something like using a wooden hide over their preferred hide is stupid.

[teleos]

if it were common sense I wouldn’t have just watched an animal die slowly and painfully in my care over a month after I got it away from an owner that did just that

that’s not to mention fifteen years spent watching the hobby

oooooh I just

[condy-sniper-deactivated2016050]

And you’re completely right to be mad at someone like that, but like I said, bashing people over things that don’t matter is pointless

[teleos]

What breeder did you get it from? The wrong breeder can make the difference between an animal that will live a long, healthy life in your care, or an animal that’s going to die in a month from a parasite infestation, or a virus, or spread disease to the rest of your collection.

What substrate are you using? The wrong substrate can dehydrate an animal, or cause impaction, both of which can be lethal. As well, behavioural issues should be considered; are you putting a fossorial species on tile? Do you know that this will stress them?

What’s it’s diet like? Are you feeding a crested gecko baby food? Are you feeding an adult corn snake pinky mice? You’ll kill them both, eventually.

Are you handling it too much? Do you know the signs of a stressed animal? Is your animal refusing food? Does it appear more apathetic and limp than usual?

Is the temp right in its tank? Or you could cook it or give it a URI because the temperature’s off, or the temperature’s being read by a dial thermometer.

That’s a bad morph of a rock, did you not read it’s wiki? That rock morph is known for dystocia, neurological defects, and failure to thrive. Exactly what every new pet owner wants in their beloved new pet!

You really shouldn’t have gotten a pet rock without having exactly what you needed right off the bat. Why the fuck did you bring home a pet rock without supplies? Are you fucking two? Can you exert even the smallest amount of self-control before bringing a helpless living animal with no effective ability to fight back into a captive situation?

Why are you mad? If you didn’t want feed back, why’d you post pictures? Well, yeah, why did you post pictures on the public internet if you expected to only get praise for shitty work? Why not keep it to Facebook, or text it to friends who don’t know any better?

Here is a free lesson to others: it doesn’t matter how civil you are, or how gently you break the news, people are still going to get their feelings hurt. (Be civil and gentle because it’s good for you, but it will have zero effect on people who post stuff like “The Internet: Where Everyone Knows Better Than You” as opposed to trying to take advantage of the greatest system of information storage and transmission human beings have ever had access to. You can’t “nice” people into wanting to learn to better themselves.)

[condy-sniper-deactivated2016050]

Alright you’re right about that I see where you’re arguing from, and where my choice of words was really bad.

[empyreanreptiles]

Reblogging this post with your response because /this/ is an appropriate way to respond when you realize you’re original thought/intention was wrong and I would like to show THIS. This is important.

[thlpp]

Wait, this is a thing that really happens? Holy canolli, @condy-sniper I wish everyone could be like you! I’m reblogging this a second time, with your awesome response. (Slow clap)

[rainbowsnakes]

Wh-what… ?

Retics do not stretch out in the wild guys.. They are in a permanent state of squashed coil and so its fine to keep them in drawers..

Is this guy for real!!??  

[empyreanreptiles]

Uhhhg, used to think the guy was pretty cool but after learning more about him when he started keeping leos… What a train wreck.

[xxxkyrareaperxxx-deactivated201]

I remember meeting him in person last year at the CRBE and at the time I had no idea the controversy surrounding him, so I asked him ‘what do you recommend to someone who wants to learn more about reptiles?’

His response sucked. It was basically ‘Find a species you are passionate about and start buying and breeding, don’t worry about money. Thats how I started!’ like dude I never said I want to get in the business, and I had mentioned atm I’m a pet only owner, just that I want to learn more about reptiles and what resources he recommends not ‘lemme buy more animals and learn as I go’

[kaijutegu]

Google search “wild reticulated python”

Yeah, I guess he’s right, they clearly never, ever stretch out, not even a little bit. 

[xxxkyrareaperxxx-deactivated201]

Clearly Kaiju those are all photoshopped! It’s just impossible for someone that is so ‘passionate’ and ‘loving’ to his reptiles to lie just so he can justify more animals and more money. I mean isn’t he so well known for being passionate and if you are passionate that’s all that matters! Clearly passion = knowledge and best care practices like we’ve learned. 

Clearly all snakes just curl up in a ball, which is why they are all just bigger ball pythons. Yes siree snakes are inactive never moving rocks! I mean, it’s not like I’ve everrrr seen my snakes stretch out when given the chance. No ma’am they just sit curled up 24/7 just like in nature.

end sarcasm -.-

[faithbeforefear]

Food just comes to their mouths, didn’t you know? SNAKES DON’T MOVE IN THE WILD. He’s seen every snake in the wild. That’s why he’s qualified to keep them and do venom shows as well.

[fishelli-blog]

Okay, so I need some help. I had this betta given to me today because I pointed out how awful his setup was. It was truly horrendous. In a bowl less than a gallon the water marks on the side you couldn’t even see through, not that you could see much anyway with how cloudy the water was, not to mention how low the water level was in the already tiny tank. I made the choice to immediately go out and buy whatever tank I could which happened to be a top fin 5 gallon set. I made the choice to just try to get him adjusted to the water as soon as possible and then get him in there because I really thought he was as good as dead anyway. The tank currently has scraps of stuff I already had, super empty. Tomorrow I can get some things for him to hide in and hopefully some good substrate. Getting a heater tomorrow as well. His fins look rough to me, is there anything I can do for him? 

@scalestails Do you have any suggestions? 

I just really want to help this little dude. 

[jayce-space]

Clean warm water is your best start to helping him. Since your tank isn’t cycled you’ll want to do small daily water changes and make sure to dechlorinate. Some stress coat may help him relax. He’ll just need time and to play things by ear. Also make sure he has a good pellet food to get his strength back up. Omega one is a fantastic brand.

[fishelli-blog]

Omega one is what I got for him, so I'm glad to hear that. I also gave him a pinhead cricket because I read that they'll eat that and he did. I put in stress coat, a tap water conditioner, and a biological supplement that supposedly allows "immediate" introduction of fish. Really anxious about this, I'm hoping it'll go well despite not being able to cycle the tank first.

Am I a lucky betta mom or what?
