I've decided to look for a dedicated herp vet, even if it's a bit of a drive. I'd rather spend more gas money than take shots in the dark honestly. Also, so far of all his reptiles, I've taken ownership of three. Probably soon to be five most likely. My mother has a bad habit of paying for his things, which lately has been snakes. So far I've bought a Black Pastel, a Normal, and a Bearded Dragon from him. The Super Pastel, after arguing with my mother that the vet's husbandry opinions made me laugh, and that I wasn't going to follow the whole UVB thing, is under my ownership now. I went out, bought a heat pad, and a Rubbermaid tub to keep him in quarantine for now. The reason it was in my rack in the first place was because I went in to feed his snakes when he was gone for a few days, and that one didn't have a heat lamp, or a heat pad on it. His logic was that because it was next to another tank with a heat lamp, it would be warm enough. Obviously not the case. Recently he's gotten a sub adult Boa Constrictor Imperator, and a Reticulated Python, both my mother's doing. At this point, he keeps snakes for a month or so and is bored of it and either sells it to me, or doesn't mess with them except necessities. It's basically a case of him not needing any animals to take care of, but wanting and then my mother happily getting them for him. I've made it clear since he got the Retic that there would be no more animals brought in unless they were mine or my fiance's, since we can actually take care of ours.
