Dutch police arrested a bird for its involvement in a store robbery and they put the bird in a cell with bread and water and when the news reported the story, they put a black bar over the bird’s eyes to protect its identity and I promise I’m not making this shit up:

remember: when it comes to cage size, bigger is better! the top cage is inappropriate for ANY bird, no matter what species!

The admin posted a reminder of the rule “don’t allow/photograph your snake interacting or being near predators such as cats and dogs” and people are literally responding like:

“This is so negative”

“Wow, so much for a group of nice people”

“This is ridiculous, bye”

Like it’s literally your reptile’s life at risk and you literally don’t care because “it’s so cute to see them together, they’re fine with each other because nothing has happened (yet)”.

You shouldn’t own a reptile if you cannot be responsible, and no matter how much you “know” your dog or cat, it’s still extremely irresponsible to allow them near each other; they are generally instinctual predators. Buuut you know, common sense isn’t a flower that grows in everyone’s garden..

Just a reminder of what the best case scenario of your cat getting ahold of your snake can look like:

This was an accident where my snake escaped her locked tub overnight and was found by my curious cat before me. It took months and 3 shed cycles to completely heal the scabbed and damaged scales - she still has some indents where she needs to grow a scale or two back.

We were SO lucky she didn’t get chewed/eaten alive, break any bones, develop an infection, or have any organs punctured by this.

So to see that so many people believe it’s completely okay to have prey/predator pets out and close to each other or even worse, interacting, is mind blowing.

I don’t care if your cat runs from your reptile or is indifferent to its presence - it’s a huge risk that you shouldn’t be taking with your reptile’s safety just for the sake of it being “cute” and “quirky” period.

I don’t understand how people can care so little for their pets. Why even have animals if you’re willing to stupidly risk their lives like that, especially after you’ve been told of the risks?
