KILL ME...well maybe not.

So my family have these cleaners that since the day I have owned snakes have worried me but nothing happened. This worry caused me to move the snakes out. Well I left my incubator till my last clutch hatched. The damn cleaners thought it was a fridge and cleaned it with BLEACH. 10 days later no hatchers. I cut the eggs day 53. ALL dead. Not the most exciting clutch. (Ghost to het ghost) but it pisses me off. So glad I have my own reptile space. Enjoy the rant!(:

No one told them not to touch it..?

It is well marked to not touch ( in Spanish too)

Wow...I would be furious! :rage:

You'd think that they would have some second thoughts when they opened it up and it was heated with egg boxes *facepalm* I'd be livid, that's for sure

So what's the protocol if they come in and knock a TV off the wall or something? They just say oops and move on?

They would own that whole clutch or I would own their heads.

i am upset....now i have to get the bleach smell out.. i know it wasnt a family member because they know the incubator is sacred

Maybe try cleaning the house yourself...?

Oh no, i wasnt trying to sound like a jerk. I just meant like maybe whatever room the 'bator's in keep clean yourself and dont even have them go in there.

For the record though... Reptiles, rodents, quads and racing dont count as excuses imo bc those are your hobbies lol.

AP homework isnt time consuming or anything either :rolleyes: And yea i guess i cant use hobbies as a valid excuse but it takes dozens of hours a week. i have signs saying to keep out of there and trust me; the snake room is spotless. maybe they were high? i dont know

Dude youre like what, 17? Im sure taking care of hundreds of herps and rats and racing quads must be so awful! And you have to work EVERY saturday? No! That must be terrible! If mommy and daddy pay for your hobbies dont complain when their maids accidentally clean your stuff wrong. You honestly sound so spoiled right now. Give me a break.

i pay for all i have. i have worked since i was 14 saving money. i am NOT spoiled. i started my collection small and have added since i was in junior high. dont assume things about me. im not going to get into an internet arguement because they are beyond pointless. ... and im not b*tching about working or my life im saying i dont sit down all damn day. and the cleaners that my parents hired went into the snake room (which is on a meter i pay for electricity) and killed a clutch of eggs when marked for them to not do so. Am i spoiled? i dont feel so but you are entitled to your opinion

note: hundreds was an overstatement when 2 clutches of carpets hatched i had 102

Why wasn't the incubator in a locked room? Personally I'd keep mine behind locked doors, anyone could do anything without even meaning to mess things up.

What juice shop do you work at?! Work one day a week and you can afford hundreds of herps, rats, and some quads?! And the trailer that you keep your snakes in and the electricity for it? Get me a job there man!

Im not trying to start a fight either. Just trying to get you to see it from a different perspective.

i understand, i used to work more but now rodents/ herps provide supplemental income. plus the quads are self sustained with sponsors and money from the purse now that i race at a higher level. However my mom did initially help me get into reptiles by buying my tstat's for x-mas/bday. im not going to say im a fully independent person...im a high school kid. but i am able to fund my many hobbies

that post may have seemed whiney but that wasnt the case...im NOT complaining in any way

You should put down the keyboard and pick up the phone.
I would like to know what the owner of this maid company is going to do. They should be insured. They can't just come into a house and destroy everything and walk out.

Like I said before, they now own that clutch.

I am calling them Monday for compensation or at least free cleaning
