Beware of the snake man

[Aercadia]

This is my best guess at the original ad based on frostyBP's description: "need large snake food"

Also editing my previous post to add this link, for future readers. EDIT: JK can't edit previous posts.

My carpet eats rabbits and one of my boas do and it won't be long before my goldenchild is on rabbits. I have a supplier down in the city's that I have been getting my rabbits from I was trying to find someone closer to me. I breed my own rats I just don't have the space at the moment for rabbit breeding

Yeah her post was pretty typical for a member of the snake-fearing general public. Interesting how people skew things to make them seem a certain way.

Yup just remember buy the stores old meat for snake food

Oh I saw this earlier today. It pissed me off, especially with the whole "I hate snake people" comment…well, I hate idiots, maybe I should post a warning about them on Craigslist...

Anyhow, as a fellow Minnesotan, I'm guessing your supplier in the cities you're referring to is probably Twin Cities Reptiles. They're pretty awesome, but yeah, they're pretty far from your general area. I get why you'd look for prey closer to you; have you considered ordering from some of the online vendors to have them delivered?

Yea I was going to go to monsterfeeders. And order some bulk.

Yeah, try Monster, his shipping prices aren't too bad either, especially being in MN like us. I like to buy all my frozen in bulk too, it makes it a lot easier to feed when it's time, rather than going to the store all the time. I try to buy enough stuff to last 14 to 20 weeks at a time.

That's a great route to go. Like someone else said, you were perfectly within your right to post your message, but some people just do not understand snakes…the crazy lady being a prime example.

Well before I ever had a snake I'd get bored at work and hop on Craigslist. I'd post a picture of a Burmese and tell everyone that "Shadow" was once fed kittens by the previous owner and will not take anything else. I'd ask in the pet section for anyone with a steady supply of baby white kittens (Shadow prefers white).

It was a fun experiment. I got a lot of emails from people telling me how much they laughed at the obvious tongue-in-cheek post and a few telling me they were reporting me to the cops and all of that. I kept it up for about a month, I laughed at the responses.

One lady wrote me a nasty gram saying she cried for a day after reading my post and that she had reported me to the FBI or something.

I found it hysterical.

I don't find that funny at all. And is no way going to help the reptile community. That dose noting but hurt our case as reptile keepers
