Some of my friends are not bright at all when it comes to owning a pet(s)!
Friend A. Has three cats. Three sweet / loving cats. Lastnight I was over his house and I went to the bathroom. In there I saw two nice sized kitty litter boxes FILLED with about 4 inches of cat poop. No wonder his cats pee and poop everythere in the house.
Friend B. She "LOVES" animals. She is ALWAYS getting a new pet. At the last reptile show, she bought another snake, a BD, and a Tegu. She does not need another snake, nor did she know anything about BD's or Tegus! I tried telling her that BD's need special lighting, and that Tegus get big and a 30 gallon tank will not hold it for very long. She didn't listen. I was just skimming craigslist and well LOOK WHO SHE IS NOW DUMPING / SELLING....
I could spit I'm so mad at her! Me and her butt heads A LOT when it comes to the care of her animals! I guess something new and sparky came along so she now has to get rid of some of her animals so the she can get the new ones....
Friend C. She bought a corn snake the same time I got Jinx. Both were about the same age/size. A few days ago I was over her house and I asked if she still had her snake. She said yeah and we went to get him out. This little snake is well over a year old and about 10 inches long and thinner then a #2 pencil! I asked her if she was feeding him... her reply was "I give him a pinky every 4 or 5 weeks". My mouth just about hit the floor. I asked why so long, her reply... "I forget". I asked her right then and there if she didn't want him, or if he was to much for her. She said she "loves" him. I tried!
UGH!
