Not if he can't move his arms or legs. Now who's the snake? Get slithering.Worst thing about this is that as soon as he's out of the hospital he'll probably go right back to being a jackass and buy new animals that he'll treat just as carelessly as he's been doing before.
Got nervous there for a second lmfao.behind my house is a giant rape seed farm
We have a Green Iguana, he's neat, he has a personality like a scaly weird dog, got him when he was tiny about 20 years ago, he's huge now.I'm not a reptile guy, but an ex of mine had a corn snake and I personally didn't really get the appeal. It was cool to watch it
... in 2013.should be forced to run the Boston Marathon
The thing with reptiles is most are basically asocial and incapable of affection and the ones that can be affectionate it's almost impossible to accurately read. Like crocodilians are freakishly smart and some species are social to the point of hunting in packs but how the fuck is that 10 foot alligator ever gonna communicate his affection even if he has it? But it's much more common that a reptile can consider you safe/fun/interesting because you don't hurt it and you feed it and it's pretty easy to convince yourself that's the same thing as affection because humans are jumped up monkeys and view the world through a social lens.I don't believe snakes even have the wiring to be affectionate. They are even dumber than mice.
Australia actually has a really good track record on preventing people from exporting pets in any significant numbers but they only started to do so in like the 70s IIRC. So a lot of species made it out into private collections before then. Some of the most popular pets in the trade are bearded dragons and blue-tongue skinks and they are both Australian species that have a lot of enthusiasts breeding them. And we can be pretty sure that's true because if it wasn't the price on some of the rare species of easy-to-breed reptiles like some of the more obscure blue tongue skinks that didn't get into many private collections would crash pretty quickly. Other Australian blue tongues are 200-300 USD although you can get an Indonesian species for half that because they get bred in shitty illegal farms and exported to retardsAren't inland taipans native to Australia? How did this freak get one?
I hope he dies. Exotic pet illegal traders should all die from their pets.
I've never felt anything like affection from my Iguana, he's a lizard, but they're definitely curious and intelligent, he'll follow us around and get nosy if we're doing something that he thinks means food. We keep a bowl of chopped veggies and fruits for him on a shelf on his log (he's got like a climbing frame I made partly from drift wood with different levels and shelves) and he does the beard wave thing to let you know if it needs filling.But it's much more common that a reptile can consider you safe/fun/interesting because you don't hurt it and you feed it and it's pretty easy to convince yourself that's the same thing as affection because humans are jumped up monkeys and view the world through a social lens.
From what I understand not only is it like $5k a vial, but it has a shelf-life measured in months. So it's not like you pay 5 grand and keep it for emergencies, it's the equivalent to some people's entire annual income to keep around. That's why there are Facebook groups where they crowdsource and crowdfund the stuff (not for Taipans as a rule, as nobody who isn't insane or a zoo/science lab keeps them). But of course ol'Jeff said antivenom was for pussies and slagged off these groups, so I doubt they were falling over themselves to help him.I really wondered why this guy kept them, but didn't bother to buy the antivenin (which is also apparently extremely expensive at something like 5 grand a vial, and you need multiple if bitten), then I found his Facebook and the second video is him free handling a small one with its tail shaking like VK was talking about and it makes sense.
There's a reptile thread in general for doxing your reptiles if you wanna bump itThis thread does make me want to post my leopard gecko tho ngl
A number of these people actually study them, or at least supply venom to make antivenin. Some breed them to furth conservation efforts. Others foster them in between the animal's journey from zoo to zoo.People that buy super death snakes and lizards are stupid. Why do you have a death creature in your house? Buy a dog or something. Hope this retard bites it.
Yep, might as well feel bad for a poisonous plant getting cleared out.Everyone keeps moping about how "sad it is the snakes died". Well in my eyes this is no different than furniture being destroyed. Snakes cant't think, or feel, or understand anything other than attacking and eating food.
