    Re: Stupidity strikes again...

    I have gauges and can confidently say that this would not happen on accident like she makes it sound. In order to get that far into the hole, the snake had to stick it's head in there first. That she will have noticed for sure unless she was sleeping (then maybe) the feeling of being struck was the tension the snake put on the earlobe with its girth. While sizing up, you sometimes do it too fast and the tension causes the skin to literally rip. THAT might feel like the snake is striking at her. (I've never even bit so far but I could see how the two could feel similar). BUT, before that, you'll feel some sort of increasing tension where any normal person (with or without gauges) would say "ok, this is the time to reverse whatever is happenning" and take the snake back out, before it gets stuck.
    Gauged earlobes aren't any number than not Gauged ones so she must have felt the snake sticking it's head in there initially and then the increasing tension following that.
    She either shouldn't have gauges, or a snake. Maybe even both.

    My snake got into a sticky situation with a slatted garden chair when I took him outside on a sunny day once. But even there I could get him out before he got completely wedged between the slats BEHIND ME WHERE I DIDN'T EVEN SEE HIM. 😒

    I like that she acts like the snake is the idiot in this situation! I highly doubt that he tried to get into the hole all by himself...

    YES! there was no way this was an accident! i'm sorry, but she was an idiot! "too fast" only happens on feeding day.

    Also on her Facebook she keeps posting articles about the incident and how she's "famous". Like if this had been an accident why would you be proud of how "viral" this is?

    Because to a base and shallow kid like her, any attention is better than no attention. What might help her would be to drag her outside of her little pathetic world, get her into some seriously consequential community service, and actively teach her how to develop some deep and lasting, real self-esteem.

    I need to apologize for that last post. Aside from teaching, I volunteer in my community with "life-skills" kids, the level of kids who will always need to be at home or in a group home. One of the boys, who is very kind and very caring, who is never going to live on his own, or read above a hesitant 3rd grade level, and will always look "different" comes to the nursing home and reads his books to the residents who just stay in their rooms, and rarely have company. We shared an elevator with a pair of girls all decked out. As they walked away, we couldn't help but hear them laughing about him being a "creepy 'tard" that they shouldn't have to see, and "imagine him when he's old".
    Hearing that last evening really PO'd me. Then Ben cried, and that tore my heart. I'd love nothing more at this moment than to get my hands on them, strip them of all their embellishments because that appears to be the sole way they define themselves, and put them to good use in the community with REAL people until they developed some real and deep feelings. They need to learn how to be human beings. When I finally got home after talking it out with him at Tim Hortons, I had to get Ethel out, she's such a wonderful BP, and just let her slide through me hands and pet her until my blood pressure went down.
    grrrr

    Agreed. Plus, as some one who formally had large stretched lobes, I can attest to the fact that a snake would not just crawl through them. Also, why would you not stop it if it was starting to do so? Ugh, this is why I don't use social media...vapid attention seekers. Plus, am I the only one who thinks her dropping the "f" word in her post is totally unnecessary and tacky?
    Maybe I am just getting old and cranky....
