No need to read, i just need to vent I'm really aggravated right now. My boyfriend's uncle stopped by to pick up some rats and steal some bedding for his two corns. He's talked about them a bit in the past when he's visited, but I've never seen them. He said he's had them since hatchlings, and they're now 2-3 years old. I've previously given him small ASF when he needed them, which he said were too big... Um, for a 3 year old corn? I don't think so. I guess he used to feed 1 or 2 pinks from petco before I started supplying him, and I just gave him smalls because I had a hunch he's been severely under feeding.

So this time he brought the two corns over because his son wanted to show them off. I was shocked. They're about the size of my 6 month hog (ok, well maybe a little bigger. But still). Anyway, he gets here and he's transporting them in a large critter keeper, about 5"x8", if that. They're gorgeous, but spazzing out because apparently they haven't eaten in almost a month, and the critter keeper is also what he feeds them in :/
One of them actually bit my bf's mom, not defensive or aggressive, just calmly started gnawing on her thumb since she smelled like rats.

I want to pull my hair out! Thank goodness he at least feeds them separately. But it's ridiculous, I ALWAYS have whatever size he needs in stock, but he 'forgets' to stop by. I can't tell you how many times he's said he'll swing by for rats 'this week', only to show up 3 weeks later. He also hasn't done his monthly tank cleaning in who knows how long because he was out of bedding. There's no excuse for them to go without, especially since I practically give my feeders away to him.

We start talking, and he houses them together in either a 10 or 20 gal tanks (he can't remember which). So I kindly tell him they should be housed separately for their benefit, and he might want to brush up on some caresheets and he's all "well they've been together since babies, they get along great, yada yada". Sooo frustrating. Granted, I haven't had corns since I was a kid, and it pains me to admit I followed the stupid pamphlet at petco, but with all the resources out there, this is inexcusable. Can I seize his animals? Ugh. Ok end of rant.
