"Why I Hate Snakes"

by: Eunectes4

First off, you get obsessed with these animals and spend all your time providing nice enclosures and growing your collection and they never seem to appreciate it. Second, I have a small room in which I keep my entire collection and control with a humidifier and a space heater, I also mist cages regularly to provide extra humidity to those who need it more and each cage is equipt with a UTH for a snake to go for added heat. But even with all this, snakes don't seem to get it. I leave for a day and cannot run my humidifier and this is when a small ATB decides to go for its first shed. I come back to the dryest shed in the history of ATB. To add to it, bumping up the humidity and letting swim in the tub will not get this skin off. I have worked for days trying to peel it off and work with it and have been pooped on a number of times and the skin remains on the little snake. All of my other snakes know when to shed and have perfect sheds every time...why does this little amazon not know better? This is why I hate snakes and want nothing more to do with them. In closing, if anyone wants to buy any pythons, anacondas, or tree boas...please let me know. All orders come with a free garter snake.

A little sign might be nice to know when the dumb things are going to shed, all other snakes eyes turn blue, why don't ATBs?

They do turn blue but with some colors it is harder to see. The little red ATB I have now is going to shed soon but the most "blueing" he shows is a slight cloudiness over the eyes and darkening of his skin. It sucks when they dont have a complete shed. As long as the eye caps come off I wouldnt stress the rest too much. Keep a watch out for the next shed to make sure everything comes off this time. I assume you are kidding about getting rid of your entire collection just because of a bad shed. Goodluck.

Well, if you are selling your collection I'd throw in a bid for an ATB...

What kind of pythons and boas do you have? I have been looking for a couple.

Instead Turn your Hate to the People out there that have Huge buildings to keep there animals in (They can have more snakes then you).
The people that have everything running on Auto (All they have to do is sit back and admire there collection).
The people that have more snakes then they can feed in a 2day time (Lord I remember when it used to take me 2-3 days to feed my entire collection. When I was done feeding I had to start Cleaning and then Do it all over again. But, You know I loved every minute of it)
The people who sit back and say "I Breed the snakes I have found I like the Most over the years" (letting you know that they "Are" Happy with the collection they have built and, Have over time become completly Satisfied with Just Breeding and selling instead of Buying and Buying)

And all of this while we are still going crazy over THIS SNAKE, THAT SNAKE GOT TO HAVE THEM I WILL LEAVE MY WIFE IF SHE SAIS NO SO I CAN ONCE AND FORALL HAVE EVERY SNAKE I WANT AND NOONE TO SAY OTHERWISE!!!!!!!!!!!
Who the hell needs Drugs when you have all these snakes to spend money on and the ENET to make it ALL TO DAMN EASY... Click on the ad, Send out the Money order, and Then Only then Worry about how the hell you are going to pay that Rent, Carpayment, Insurance. But, I Promise My phone will never be turned off becouse I would go CRAZY not being able to Jump up and start typing www.kingsnake.com before I can Focus on the stupid computer screen. My Electric will Never be turned off becouse I have to keep all the Rodents in the Freezer Frozen.

Pretty soon they will have a Reptile shoppers anonomous for all of us freaks. They will put us all on anti-Reptile-buying Drugs and we will all end up sitting in a corner of a loonybin typing up the kingsnake classifieds on our dinner tray filled with little cups packed with Medication.

Focus your hatred on these people Not the Amazing little Animals that none of us can get enough of

Just thought I would sit here and type something other then "I want that snake, Tell me where to send the money order." for once and as you can see I am talking all Crazy so It is time for me to go and buy some Reptiles....LMAO....

Take care
Justin

In short never let any one thing rule you life.
