Stupid kid pestering snake for no reason.

Sorry guys I had to post this, I hate people like this. If you have an instagram look up reptiles_bites. This kid I guess found a snake and he is trying to piss it off just so he can make it bite him so he can have a "good video". He keeps pestering it and even slightly drops it. I tried to post on there again but he has blocked me. Though he does not take credit, all he does is post up pics of BHB's snakes. He might have one of two pics that are his and the rest are from other profiles. I can't stand people like this in the hobby. He has no sense of well being for the snake at all. And after all that... He still didn't get the bite on video that well...

Whats instagram? how would I be able to see it?

I forgot not a lot of people on here are on Instagram. It's pretty much a way to show everyone your collections and what projects your working on, things you do certain ways, etc. it's all picture based so its nice :) well now video is also on there. It's super easy to make one and it's actually pretty cool seeing big breeders and local small town breedera post up pics/videos.

Instagram is an app for smartphones, but unlike other hotshot teenagers, I don't have a have a smartphone...

You can access it from the web now too. I don't know if it has a search feature though. At the very least you can google the username and also write instagram and it should link you to their page

haha...everyone has different priorities. A smartphone is #2,497 on my list of priorities. :gj:

I have a smartphone and I honestly use it for yahoo, texting and phone calls. I rarely use it for something else unless I'm driving and need GPS or want to post on here while I'm driving.

I couldn't get along without my smart phone. I use it for Music, audiobooks, podcasts, tapatalk, GPS, finding out what the weather is going to be like, reading E-books, watching movies/videos, alarm clock, calendar/scheduler surfing the web, camera, and occasionally phone calls and texts. I'll have to see if there is an instagram app I can get.

Are there a lot of reptiles hobbyists on instagram?

Instagram got popular with hipster teenagers being able to post "artsy" pictures (the app gives you filters for your photos), but there are plenty of other people posting all sorts of things on there. I've seen a fair few reptile enthusiasts.

Also, it's like the home of hashtagging. You know, #thingslikethis.

hashtagging is awesome if done right. for instance, if i search for the hashtag #retic or #reticulatedpython every picture someone used that hashtag in comes up. i've discovered a lot of people with awesome pictures of their snakes this way. it's just annoying the people that put "#" in front of everything just because they think it looks "cool"

A smartphone was about at that place on my priority list until I started my business last March. Then priorities quickly shifted! haha
I now love my smartphone. I use it for navigation, keeping in touch with customers (voice to text function of the phone is great!!!), accessing the online catalog, checking order status or even placing orders, processing credit cards, etc. Love it!

And then when I'm bored I play games... :rolleyes:

I don't do instagram though.

I'm sure I'll eventually get one...but mostly for the reasons you stated...


and if I ever turn into one of those zombies that never looks up from their phone I hope I get run over in a cross walk...
