Figured I would introduce myself, I am Pookie and I dont currently have any snakes at all, however my friend (Coleslaw007) has enough for the both of us! Lol
I wanted to join and just lurk around, which I have been doing. I love snakes and will probably be getting a ball sometime soon, mainly as a "look pretty" snake and pet, probably something Coleslaw can use in her breeding program too.
I have a few Leopard Geckos at the moment, going to be picking up some more this fall/winter I hope. Looking to get some cool Eclipse/Snake Eye stuff going on, cuz I love them most lol
I am also a complete fish nerd like no ones business, love my fish more than most people and am looking forward to my plywood pond (1700+ gal) build in my new house to house some RTC, Shovelnose, and any Pacu that busted their tanks off CL.
My real passion and love is dogs. I am a lover of the true Game Bred American Pit Bull Terrier. Not the watered down Pet Bulls most people have (including me).
I plan on getting a few pups this coming year, a heavy bred Chinaman/Maverick/Eli pup and a Boyles/Bolio pup.
I currently however, hence me posting this in the dog section, have a APBT/AST cross. His name is Bear, and no he isnt one of those "rare" blue pits.
He is a mutt, a backyard bred dog with no known lineage. By best guess he is an APBT/AST cross though, far to lean and fit bodied to be an American Bully.
Anyways, here are some pictures of him! I take pride in feeding him a 100% raw and species appropriate diet, as well as keeping him in a peak physical condition not typical of most of the "blue" dogs you see!
HAPPY BEAR IS HAPPY!
ANOTHER HAPPY!
Oh, just dont call him a Pit Bull, because there is only ONE Pit Bull, and thats the American Pit Bull Terrier and he is at best guess a mutt and is called as such.

Thank you
Eh I am not really trying to break any stereotype, but inform people that they arent a dog for everyone. They arent a dog that will ALWAYS get along with other dogs, that shouldnt go to dog parks, or that can be left alone with small prey like animals.
The problem I have is people dont seem to understand that Dog Aggression and a High Prey Drive DONT mean the dog will ever go after people. Some people see a dog wanting to go after a Poodle or eat their beloved cat and think "Oh [darn], gotta get rid of it now! Its gonna turn on people!" Which is completely false, its like me saying "Oh [darn], that snake ate a mouse! Its gonna turn and attack people now!" A little stupid lol
As with all my Game Dog/APBT friends and owners, Human Aggression in ANY form is something very very bad and completely looked down on, these dogs should NEVER have any kind of aggression towards a human and if any dog shows ANY signs of it, it is to be put down immediately.
The problem started when people were breeding back yard mutts that werent even close to a real Pit Bull and they get loose and bite someone, then the media says "Oop short hair and blocky head, yep MUST be a Pit Bull!" when it was really a Boxer, or Lab mutt lol or people breeding APBTs for the wrong reasons, such as guard dogs or protection animals, incuraging traits in an otherwise completely people friendly breed.
Now yea, Dog Aggression and a super High Prey drive is what SHOULD be in this breed, I mean they are Terriers for Christ sake Makes me sad when people get them and label them "dangerous" for being themselves and true to the breed standard.
Funny thing really, most people wouldnt know a real APBT if it walked up to them.
Okay /ramble lol a little passionate about the dogs and dont know when to hush

Guessing no one here yet has any sort of bully breed?
I have an English Bulldog, Molly. She turns 8 years old in July. Here she is....
I tried to adopt a Pitbull from a shelter a year ago, but Molly was having none of it. She was too aggressive....I felt soooooo bad! She is the sweetest dog to people, but is aggressive towards most other dogs.
