    Reptile Show this weekend!

    I came back from tha lib tonight and found a note on my door sayin that my roommate had fed my BP Loki........ this is strange because my snake just ate two mice on thursday and now its sunday and my roommate doesnt do anything for the snake, like buy food, pay vet bills, clean the tank or anything and has only held Loki like twice since I have owned him...... but aparently the story is one of tha kids that lives up stairs has a semi sick BP with mites, not eating, and bad shedding and so on.... and he was trying to feed his younger sick BP for about 4 or so days now but his bp wont eat ( because he is in shed but he just continued to try and feed him anyway) so he has had tha mouse without food or anything for like 4 days now and then him and my roommate and some of their other friends decided, after having a few drinks mind you that the were gonna take Loki out while i was not there and feed him this mouse that is starving and has been round his BP all tha time, which could have Internal parasites or whatever upstairs in the container that has mites in it from his snake- All of this because they wanted to show off for some girls or somethin ......... trust me i'm pissed ....... can't wait to talk to him after class..... he's deff gonna be payin the vet bill if somethin is wrong wit Loki........ anyone else think that is messed up ??

    Yes, I think you need a lock on Loki's cage that requires either a key or a combination so he can't do it again. I hope for Loki's sake that the mouse didn't carry down any mites from the other snake.

    Oh my gosh, that's horrible. I'd be so pissed. I really hope your snake is ok.. that'd worry me a lot.

    I would be livid. And I would definately make your room mate pay vet bills if there are any.

    yes the enclosure should have been locked, especially when youre staying with a roommate. the key should be kept to yourself unless youre going to need your roommate to feed your snake and stuff when youre away.
    when you say that the mouse had been around the sick snake for days, are you saying that they left it roaming around the snake??!!! you deffinitely need to monitor your BP`s health closely for the next few weeks. and yes i would be pissed.

    i would suggest a key not a combination only because if in the event that u do need ur roommate to take care of ur snake he then knows the combination and its pretty much pointless

    HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    if u lose the key ur screwed so thats a plus for the combination

    I had a similiar incident while I was living in a rented house with some friends. I went away for a weekend and came back to a live chick...yes that's a baby chicken in the enclosure with my BP. I was SO PO'd. But remember IF it's the first time try to stay cool headed. I only had to tell my buddies once and that was it. They just don't know that our "hobby" has alot more to it than they can fathom.
