    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.

    i don't have a facebook but i love instagram. i get to scroll through a feed of nothing but pictures of people's animals.

    and yes, there are a lot of people in the hobby on instagram.

    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"

    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...

    I don't do instagram though.
    Why keep a snake? Why keep any animal? Because you enjoy the animal, find something beautiful and fascinating about it, and it fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

    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...

    I can't stand that! If I end up one of those zombies... I deserve whatever I get.
