HELP! rats killed eachother!!!

[rabernet]

my snakes have been moved outta there for the moment. ivy has finally gotten over the RI and is doing great and i say she let them die cuz she never fed them while i was snowed in at my house and they starved and ate eachother, therefore they did kill each other.

Not five minutes ago - you just said you were keeping your animals at your sisters - including the new one.

kinda.i had to beg... but i can keep them at my sisters. i have been talking to my mom about how i feel on certin subject so she is letting up a lil.

Hon, seriously - you're doing a dis-service to these animals. Your mom doesn't want them in her home, and your sister clearly doesn't want them in hers, otherwise she wouldn't let them starve to death.

So where are you keeping all these animals and how are you quarantining new animals?

I PROMISE you - there will still be ball pythons and RTB's available for you when you are an adult and in your own home.

Right now, you're having far too many tragedies with your current situation, and just based on what you've shared with us - you're acting impulsively by adding new animals.

That RTB recovered very quickly from the RI - what did they treat it with?

so they r moving into a house where she has to interact with the rats and snakes now. which might get it through her head she cant ignore them and mistreat them

But you let her watch yours??

Not to be rude but you need to read JLC's posting several MORE TIMES

k. i was saying my snake were at her place but most were moved to my bf's place for a while lastnight. the 3 i kept with me now r in my sisters house but she is not allowed to touch them anymore, she has to deal with hers. after what happened my mom is taking me into town twice a week to care for my 3. so we cut the group down a bit so it is a lil more manageable. and we used reptaid for ivy. i have been up for 3 days straightening things out and reoranizeing thing for my snakes. so now thing r kinda getting a lil better but my snakes need feed really bad.

I dont think you are getting the point? You are having problems keeping your snakes NOW. When you have your own place you will then have rent, utilities, food, and many other bills to pay. You will need to work your butt off, I am sure you will not find one job to keep up those expenses but maybe two would. Now you have even less time to spend with your snakes and rat breeding. They will get pushed even further to to back of your mind as REAL LIFE will overwhelm you.
Wife an I bought our house when we were 18 and I had to let go of my first APBT because I knew I was not going to be able to take care of him the way he needed. It broke my heart but it was what was best for him at the time. The 2 of us worked and I spent all of my off time working on the side for whatever monies I could make. See, our two jobs covered everything except groceries. We were lucky that my grandparents watched our son for us for free.
