What's the biggest rookie mistake you've made?

[GpBp]

Omg, too many to count! Let's see, HUSBANDRY, not getting a thermostat, not getting a freaking thermometer Luckily nothing serious has ever happened to anyone though. Here's some stupid me from old posts-

Is it better to get a baby or to adopt an adult? I thought maybe the older one could be more used to its previous owner and be harder to tame.

Oh Izzy, oh poor, dumb Izzy...

Could the lead from the mechanical pencil hurt him..?!

Opened his mouth with the wrong end of the pencil

Weigh..

Just didn't know weighing your snake was a thing

And so so much more I am still a rookie after all..




oh and let's please forget this is a thing

Hello! I was reading an article someone posted on this forum about a student flushing her ESA hamster (which is horrible ), and it made me realize that ESA's don't need to be dogs/cats. I have horrible anxiety, and some other stuff I won't really get into, and I've been very stressed out for these last couple years. I feel the most comfortable in my room with my animals. There's something about them that just calms me down 100%. So, I was looking into getting an ESA. I read the website's article about snakes, and I thought about my Geno. I love him more than anything I am thinking about registering him as my Emotional Support Animal. I know I can't bring him into public places such as restaurants/school/stores etc. that's not what I'm getting at. I wouldn't want to anyway. And I don't mean this to draw attention to Geno or myself in any way, shape, or form. Do you think it's okay to do? I don't even know if I'd qualify, but I'd really like to. Geno is a 2-year-old male pastel ball python. He's very very tame and has never had any behavior issues. Thank you!
