Enrichment is a foundation of animal care, not an option
It is also not a synonym for entertainment.
Enrichment allows and animal the option to perform a variety of natural behaviors. It is a measureable science benefitting physical and brain health.
If you cannot spare time to provide as basic and indispensable as enrichment, then having a pet is not the right thing for you

DEPLOY THE BOY
This is so cute I died
But they value our lives even less
Ok but look:
Iām really screaming
he was planning on eating the baby š
Ok, as a biology major, yāall need to chill. Snakes this big are incredibly docile. They have been bred this way. Furthermore, the person taking care of this animal could not properly take care of them if they did not feed them regularly and well. This child is in no more danger than if she was sitting next to a big dog.Ā
Oh, and on snake yawning, the person above is wrong (SOURCE 1; SOURCE 2)
Please donāt demonize snakes people theyāre amazing creatures and clearly this one means no harm
This is almost as bad as that shitty urban legend about the snakeĀ āmeasuringā its owner before eating them
It is also a way to stretch their jaw muscles when they are too tight, and to re-align their jaw if they bump in to something.
My snakes often do this ~after~ they eat to realign their jaw. Not before.
WARNING: ANIMAL CRUELTY
Apparently people have been adopting dogs and either killing them themselves or dropping them to a kill shelter (and one even said they were flying them to poor Asian areas to be eaten) under the Twitter hashtag #pitbulldropoff
This is completely cruel and evil and word needs to get around about these demons so everyone knows what these demons are planning to do to dogs once they get ahold of them.
If you know someone or if you yourself is planning to give away a pitty by craigslist soon, DONT and wait for awhile!!!! They act like theyāre going to adopt them and act all nice then they get rid of them, donāt be fooled!!
DM me for uncensored names!!!!!!!!
Someone should tell these people I will fucking end them.
What the actual fuck?!? This is outrageous and disgusting!
BOOST THIS even if it doesnāt match your blog theme please
This may not be lbgt related but I couldnāt not reblog it to here. This blog is a platform that gives me a voice and Iām using it. Spread this. please.
The reason these ādemonsā are killing pitball puppies is because of how many children/babies pitbulls have killed
Every single breed of dog has the potential to kill. Every. Single. One. I have encountered far more violent dalmatians, chowchows, chihuahuas, and others compared to pitbulls. You are disgusting if you think the reported pitbull attacks can justify killing off an entire breed you vile excuse for a human being.Ā
I am a veterinary science major who has studied many breeds and their behaviors and other traits. You donāt think labs have killed kids? That goldens havenāt? Pitbull attacks are the ones that are showed to media the most, while other instances of breeds attacking is kept on the downlow because of the appearances and stigmas around the breed. The main reasons for pitbull attacks? Their owners. Either they were abused or were not kept inside. Many attacks by dogs are also energetic excited pooches wanting to play but not knowing their strength (itās how my doberman has left me scratched up).
Ā I have been attacked by chow mixes, labs, collies, etc, but never a pitbull. I have a pit and she has only ever saved my life MULTIPLE times. You canāt justify the murder of an entire breed.
Killing a breed wonāt save kids, responsible dog owners will.
šššššššššššš^^^^^^^^
@blightout
Say it louder for the assholes in the back
KILLING A BREED WONāT SAVE KIDS, RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERS WILL.Ā
Sorry, with the addition I made via my main blog I had to reblog this again
This is so awful. I want to cry.
Pitbulls are super sweet dogs! You canāt make a claim to a certain breed because of how people think they are. If you raise a dog correctly, they shouldnāt be violent. And any species of dog has the potential to kill.
I own a pit bull (well, terrier) and heās the sweetest thing known to man. Any dog has the capacity to be violentā thatās why we train them. Dogs are sweet by nature. Theyāre bred that way. They just get excited and they arenāt really aware of how to keep their big olā paws to themselves. They donāt mean to hurt us or other people, but theyāre animals just like us, and will respond when provoked.
If you treat a dog violently theyāll be violent, simple as that. It always astounds me that people donāt notice the connection between babies and dogsā just like you have to teach babies not to bite when theyāre frustrated, you have to teach dogs not to bite when excited. So treat a dog like youād treat a baby and teach them.
Anyway, pit bulls arenāt violent. Theyāre sweet little goofballs who want a belly rub. If youāre going to give your dog up for adoption, send them to no kill organizations, a trusted friend, or well known youtubers who rehabilitate pets. (This is a stretch, I know, but itās better than handing them off to a stranger.)
Do not give your dog to PETA.
They will kill your dog. They hate pitbulls and euthanize 90% of animals in their care.
Thatās all I have to say about the matter. Pitties are sweet little peanut-heads. Wouldnāt hurt a fly.
Utterly disgusting
I love dogs so much why would you do this you sick people. Iām actually angry because they donāt deserve this. Pitbulls are beautiful and wonderful dog breeds and if you disagree your wrong. There is nothing wrong with a pitbull genetically, some are raised to fight. Itās not all of them that are like that. And the ones that are, youāll never find them close to your kids or family because they get locked in a kennel and put away till theyāre owners are ready to torture them again. Itās disgusting. Theyāre just trying to be alive and adorable and you guys ruin it.
Thereās no such thing as a bad breed, just bad owners.
My English Bull Terrier could just as easily rip you to shreds if I trained her to.Ā
My heart has just fucking dropped. This is devastating.
this is so fucking disgusting. if by any chance you find one of these fuckers please report them.
WHAT THE FUCK I JUST CRIED ACTUAL TEARS
PET DEATH MAKES ME EXTREMELY UPSET
BUT I CANāT NOT SHARE THIS
Hi guys. My cat is dying and I said I would never ask for money on here but here I am. I just paid $1,000 of a $2,000 blood transfusion just so she could have a chance at making it. Thatās all the money in my bank account. Iām not getting paid for two more weeks and I have bills and student loans to pay, plus the additional $1000. I appreciate any help/signal boosting I can get because Iām extremely financially stressed and I missed work to take her to the vet today. I will do whatever I can/provide any content you all would like to see to justify the money. Thank you.
I have never physically touched Muffin but Lauren has been an incredible friend since I met her and her cat and Iām begging you guys please help Muffin she is one of the sweetest things and sheās so important to my friend please if you guys can spare anything to help Iād be grateful to you, Lauren would and Muffin would owe you her life in part.
Oh my god
Iām glad you asked, Anon!Ā
Itās easier to show you than to explainā¦

Bunnies Are NOT Good Easter Gifts
Listen, friends, I have to get serious for a second here.
This is Asriel. You may have seen me post about her. Like all good pet owners, I love her. Sheās my little baby girl.
And yes, she loves walks! She also loves cuddles and flowers and pets! People have fully stopped their cars on the streets to tell me how cute she is. They stop and ask if they can pet her or hold her. They ask if they can feed her a blade of grass or a clover. And I usually say yes (provided the lawn in question doesnāt use pesticides) because Asriel loves attention and she loves getting a little sun and a little exercise.
But then I always hear it. Every single time I walk her, itās inevitable. Someone will say, āWhat a great idea! We should look into getting a bunny!ā
STOP
Or at least pause. Iām here to tell you a few things about bunny ownership that are less glamorous than when I walk her in the park.
Rabbits poop. I know what youāre thinking, youāre thinking, ālol my dog is a poop machine!ā but you donāt get it. If you dismiss this then you have no idea how much a bunny poops.
This is Asriels litter box after one day. I came home from work to this. Doesnāt look like a lot? Imagine if I forgot to clean it one day. Picture this doubled. Picture it tripled. I clean her litter box twice a day, three times if you count the one in her sleeping pen. It is required that I do this, or else she will get sick, and so will people who come into my apartment. And on that note
Just because MY bunny is trained, doesnāt mean YOUR bunny can be trained. Not all rabbits will poop or pee in the litter box. Not all rabbits walk on a leash. Not all rabbits want to cuddle. Not all rabbits want to be picked up. You didnāt raise Asriel, and you didnāt see me train her. So you donāt know that I got her at a mere month old (the older a rabbit is, the harder they are to train). You didnāt see me follow her around the apartment for weeks with rubber gloves on. You didnāt see me spray her with a water bottle for trying to eat the carpet. You didnāt see me observe her behavior as carefully as possible so as to conform to her behavior, rather than expecting to train her in the same manner as a cat or a dog.
Rabbits have very specific diets. This isnāt like most pets where you can buy a specific brand of food and leave it at that. Asriel requires a harmonious mix of hay, pellets, vegetables, and fresh greens to keep her healthy and strong. The diets will vary depending on the individual rabbit and breed. ALL rabbits require CONSTANT access to hay for fiber and dental health. Pellets and vegetables (especially carrots, because they are high in sugar) should be given in limited amounts. Going against this diet is DANGEROUS. Digestion problems are very real in rabbits. Fun fact - did you know a rabbit canāt vomit? They have no way of expelling toxic substances aside from allowing their body to (at least attempt to) digest it.
Rabbits eat and chew on everything. This is not a habit you will break them of. It is in their nature. They see a cord hanging from the wall and it looks just like a delicious blade of grass to them. I have heard of rabbits eating entire textbooks, clothes, toys, cords, plastic, chewing on metal. They do not know how to differentiate between your favorite necklace and a tasty piece of celery.
Rabbits are EXPENSIVE. Asriel has to go to a specialized vet who has his office set up out of town. We have to take a cab to get there because no bus lines run there. Thatās a $50 cab ride in addition to the $300 vet bill. Having her spayed alone was $350.
Vet visits are NOT optional Just because America doesnāt have any laws requiring rabbits be vaccinated or spayed/neutered, doesnāt mean you can neglect the healthcare of your rabbit. Regular veterinary visits are necessary to detect small issues before they become big ones. You need to seek out a vet who specializes in rabbit care and rabbit surgery. Spaying or neutering your rabbit will prevent hormone-driven behaviors and uterine cancer in female rabbits.
Rabbits need lots of space Bunnies have powerful hind legs that need to stretch, hop, jump, and run. A bunny trapped in a cage all day not only risks stress (which reduces your rabbitās lifespan), but also depression and even muscular dystrophy. They need exercise and lots of freedom.
Rabbits bite and scratch Even Asriel does. As used as she is to being handled, when she wants down, sheāll let you know quick. They have sharp teeth and will nip if you do something they donāt like. Hell, some rabbits are cranky and will nip for no reason. Not all rabbits like to be handled. Just because Asriel cuddles under your chin doesnāt mean every rabbit will.
āBut Typhon!ā You may be saying, āWhy even keep a rabbit if itās so much work? Donāt you love your rabbit?ā
YES! Asriel is the sweetest bunny and I am the luckiest bunny owner to have her. Dogs and cats are lots of work too, and nobody would argue that it isnāt worth keeping one.
But hereās the thing ā¦
Every year, thousands of rabbits are adopted or purchased as Easter presents.
Every year, thousands of rabbits are abandoned, set free (a death sentence for domestic rabbits), or die because the people who receive them as presents do not know how to care for them.
It breaks my little bunny-loving heart. These are not bad people. Iām sure they wanted the best for their bunny. Iām sure they tried their best and just didnāt expect the commitment, or didnāt know any better.
Adopting a bunny means a commitment of 10 or more years. It is a financial and emotional commitment, and one that you should not take on without some SERIOUS research and preparation. I have sunk thousands of dollars into the care of my bunny, and while I cannot say enough that it is worth every penny, I bought her knowing what I was getting myself into.
So please, please, please say it with me ā¦
Bunnies are not good Easter presents
Bunnies are not good Easter presents
BUNNIES ARE NOT GOOD EASTER PRESENTS
BUNNIES ARE NOT GOOD EATER PRESENTS
DO NOT BUY A CHILD A BUNNY FOR EASTER
DO NOT BUY ANYONE A BUNNY FOR EASTER UNLESS THEY ARE FULLY PREPARED TO CARE FOR IT
If youāve read all of this and you still think youād like a bunny - great! Goodness knows the shelters will be full of them a few weeks after Easter. I recommend giving https://rabbit.org/ a visit, and perhaps picking up a copy of The Rabbit Handbook by Karen Gendron. You should also do some research on veterinary care in your area, as well as calling up local pet stores to make sure they carry the supplies youāll need to care for your rabbit. Make sure to get the supplies BEFORE you get the rabbit. No bunny should come home and not have a pen to sleep in.
Bunnies are great pets. They have a wide range of personalities just like cats and dogs. They can be shy, friendly, playful, skittish, cuddly, or nippy. All rabbits are good rabbits. I just beg of you, this Easter season, to remember that they are living creatures. They need constant care and attention, and while itās well worth the effort, itās not something to take lightly.
Asriel and I thank you for listening.
Living animals are notĀ ālessonsā for your children. Itās not their job to teach your child responsibility. They deserve a happy, fulfilled life with the best of care.
A BUNNY IS NOT JUST FOR EASTER!
A risk Iām glad I took
drive by nubbin
That gecko looks EXACTLY like my Loki
people who are afraid of snakes are fuckinā WILD, like dude, just carefully step over these fat babiesā sausage bodies and gently move the burmese python chillinā against the door, then you become unfathomably rich. i would do this for $10. i would do this for FREE.Ā
I would pay $10 to do this

Snakes that large are actually incredibly lethargic most of the time. Ā Even if they havenāt eaten, they know they canāt eat you, just donāt hurt them and they pretty much donāt give a damn.
Theyāre justā¦ giant tube-puppies.
Anon from before asking about Brian from bhb reptiles. I'm on mobile and checked the tags and only like three things came up and it was just other anon asks? is this because im on mobile or??
Ah it is likely because you are on mobile. Iāll copy paste some stuff:I never understood that about BHB. Brain Barczyk is not only the guy who introduced me to the reptile hobby, but he has come out and said he has a deep seeded love and passion for snakes and other reptiles he breeds/keeps. Looking at his collection through theĀ BHB website AND his Youtube show, it truly astonishes me that he can talk about loving these animals with a passion, and yet so readily keep all of his snakes in such bad conditions. I mean, have you seen the containers he is keeping his pythons in? Almost none of his Ball pythons or Boa constrictors have enough room to fully stretch out, his Green Tree Python enclosures are literally just a single PVC rod in a tub, and donāt even get me started on the size of the enclosures he keeps his Reticulated Pythons/Anacondas in.On top of that, His animals may as well be in solitary confinement unless they are actively being bred or fed( Yes, im aware pythons are not social creatures, but the only time these snakes that are intended to be pets are handled is if they are being showcased, fed, or moved to another enclosure for breeding) . These tubs have substrate, a water bowl, and MAYBE a hide if the snake is breeding/is a Ā finicky eater (Iām talking about his Ball Pythons)Those small breeders who say their animals are happy and healthy in crap conditions? They think that because of how Brian keeps his. I mean, he tells people that this is the correct way to keep snakes so people follow him and do it as well, which is why I am so so so against him, because he is making everyone else think that is the healthy way to keep the snakes, when itās not. Brian has done a lot of good in the past. I would not have Thresh were it not for Brian. (He was the first to import pinstripes). But that is all in the past. Good people can become corrupt and hungry for money and influence. Now he is just smearing the reptile community. Everyone now thinks every reptile keeper shoves their snakes into too small boxes and doesnāt interact with any of them because of him. I can tell he loves a select few of his animals (Sunshine, off the top of my head) but he still takes crap care of them. It just angers me because he has so many followers that would jump off a cliff if he told them to, who all defend his keeping methods and it just. It makes me so sad for the animals. Thousands of animals sitting in a tiny box for their whole lives. No stimulation other than eating and breeding. Just. Sitting. The most exciting thing they ever do is go to a show or get sold. It just upsets me so much. BHB reptiles claims to be the āface of the reptile tradeā, they are a huge facility with tiny tiny racks (racks arenāt inherently bad, they just have to be the right size, theirs are way too small) he sells sick animals, with mites, RIs ect(you can find reviews all over the internet with pictures), you will see lots of people uptalk them because they donāt know better (I used to be one of them). If you watch his videos, he keeps his bearded dragons and leopard geckos in ābreeding groupsā constantly, which we all know is bad. His monitor cages are too small, he keeps massive snakes who need a whole room to themselves in a rack where they curl up and take up half the cage, and many many more. I just refuse to support them anymore. That and the owner of the franchise, Brian, will not answer any questions about the health of the missing scaleless ball python, and will not answer questions about the scaleless project to people who gave him thousands of dollars for future scaleless heads. That is a huge red flag to me.
The ābonusā video seems to be gone from their channel now, but he used to have up a video showing how āaggressiveā that big Burmese python, Satan is. Except, what I saw was zero aggression and a very terrified, defensive snake. They let her out, then proceeded to move suddenly around her, make sudden movements, poke her with hooks, make darting movements at her head to āshowā how aggressive she was when she reacted defensively and out of fear, and it was just overall awful.
That snake isnāt aggressive at all, sheās tormented and fearful and every time sheās reacted āaggressivelyā in their videos itās because sheās been pushed beyond her limits and prodded and irritated until she lashes out so he can be all, āSEE?! THIS IS WHY WE CALL HER SATAN I LOVE HER SO MUCH EVEN THOUGH SHEāS MEAN LOL!ā
Itās justā¦awful.
All of this. Itās ridiculous
He thinks heās a modern day Steve Irwin and that by riling the animals up, he is living out this stupid fantasy. I have misgivings about how Irwin handled some animals, but Brian does the man shame to be carrying his message like that. He thinks itās edu-tainment and that by reeling people in with outrageous or sensational shows, he can win them over. Heās a massive hypocrite as he condemns things like modern Animal Planet, thinking he can bring back that croc hunter magic, while in reality he is no better. I have no doubt he started with noble intentions, but he is no Steve Irwin. Not in my eyes.
He is definitely no Steve Irwin. For those who arenāt able to see the video links, here are some pictures Iāve found on this forum (source):
Whatās doubly depressing to me is that how many people are commenting on his atrocious husbandry - none.
Look at that poor African rock python. And the others in the tubs above. They have no room to stretch out fully, and they donāt have hides or any form of enrichment.
(https://flic.kr/p/8sC882)
And this reticulated python as well - itās living in similar conditions.
(https://flic.kr/p/8sFhgs)
Not to mention that the tubs for the colubrids look way too small as wellā¦
And then some of the ball pythons look a bit off to me. Underweight perhaps? I am not too sure, but it doesnāt feel right.
If you Google image search, āBHB tour rock python,ā this is what I also found if the previous posts, videos, and images didnāt convince you:
And then thereās the horrible video of āangryā leopard geckos that were just terrified and fearful: http://scalestails.tumblr.com/post/129755815824/scalestails-bbreptiles-fimbry-talks
Thereās just so much bad air around BHB and Brian, and for good reason. I canāt possibly understand how anyone could call his husbandry great because itās just not. That is unacceptable care. If anyone tries to say the quality of life Brian gives his animals is good, they are no friends of mine.
He did announce that they were going to totally gut their collection to focus on the welfare of the animals, so there is thatā¦
It is good that he is doing that. However it does not excuse what has already been done, plus I doubt his conditions are going to change, and he isnāt going to treat the animals any differently. Heās got 100,000 animals at the very least, getting rid of a few thousand is going to make no difference. He is doing it for the attention in my opinion.
I feel like the promise to lower their numbers is in a way to appease the people who criticize his horrendous husbandry practices. I know this doesnāt pertain to forums, but in areas where he can control what sort of things are being said, any and all criticizing comments are removed and he makes a FB post or a YT video complaining about how people ājust donāt understand.ā Many people over the years have spoken their mind to him, heās just not wanted to listen. And I agree, simply downsizing is not going atone for what heās already done to his animals. He needs to do a total re-haul of every aspect of his husbandry, and stick to it. It wonāt make what heās done better, but if he can show others heās willing to change and do whatās right for the animals, there may be hope for him and his company yet. If they could change their outlook on animal keeping, he could actually become a positive influence. He already wins over viewers who normally donāt like snakes, now all thatās needed is the promotion of responsible herp keeing to go along with it. Itās much harder to dispell incorrect information than to provide good information at the get-go.
Brian is a HUGE part of the reptile community and Iāve been watching his videos for years, spoken over the phone with him, and gotten animals from him (including ball pythons). Iāve never had a snake with mites, bad sheds, signs of poor care from previous living or anything like that. Iām not saying itās great to be stuck in a little tub like that because itās not and a snake needs room to stretch but this is the guys business. He breeds snakes and sells them to make money. He is paying employees and taking care of his family. You donāt make as much money with huge enclosures and expensive hides and all that. Heās making a living and none of you need to complain because he seriously has been a huge part of one of the most beloved snakes in the pet trade and has created beautiful morphs and has worked hard to get where he is. Itās hard running a business so heāll do whatās best for him and his employees. Iām not disagreeing about his living conditions of his collection, I think it needs to change too, but Iām gonna defend him because heās a good guy in his own right.
That is no defense.Ā āWell itās his business!ā And?? Animal lives are more important than money making. If he wants to support his family then he needs to figure something else out, because he shouldnāt just shove the welfare of his animals away just because itsĀ āhow he makes his moneyā.Ā Basically what youāre saying isĀ āI am defending him because he has a huge establishment even though he exploits animals for his own profit!āĀ
Breeding animals is not and should not be a profitable primary business. It just doesnāt work that way. Itās very difficult to make animal breeding your primary business WHILE providing the best quality of life for your critters. You cannot treat or view animals as simple things because once you do thatā¦this sort of husbandry happens. Bare minimum husbandry is still harmful, and how do you think people who already have a negative impression of the reptile industry are going to see us? Theyāre going to think, āOh, they keep reptiles and probably give them really shitty care like the dude at BHB/big name in the industry does.ā
And we DONāT want that to happen. We want to promote good husbandry - environmental enrichment, breaking the minimum standards, no sand as a sole substrate, warning others to avoid bad purchases, etc. Essentially, we want to represent ourselves as good, ethical people. Brian should not be the face of the reptile industry because itāll bite us in the asscheeks later.
Why do most breeders have side jobs? Or have hobbies where they can take on commissions or sell hand-made goods? Why do you think there is a gradual shift from recommending large-scale breeders to small-scale breeders (hint: quality over quantity)? Why do you think people detest puppy mills so much?
People will always make excuses to defend Brian, but it doesnāt matter - I donāt care if itās Brian or some other big name in the reptile/amphibian/animal industry, but if you start treating animals like inanimate objects to be sold solely for profit, I donāt think you should be keeping any living things at all.
