Not even gonna bother quoting your post, Crimzy.
We didn't just have 9 snakes...we had 12. All besides ours that were personally owned, were placed in homes with experianced reptile keepers. ALL were rescues, either where people couldn't handle them anymore or they were not properly taken care of. I guess I'm a bad person for taking them, so they wouldn't die, in the care of inexperianced person.
We had the ferrets, yes. We took them from a friend, who had rescued 6+ and were all jammed in one cage, most were sick and not a single one was eating properly. We placed them in a single family home, where are 10 year old girl and an 8 year old boy were absolutely in love with them. I guess I'm a bad person.
The raccoon was found at my work. Her mother and siblings had been trapped by a neighbor and relocated. She would have starved. We raised her until it wasn't possible to raise her anymore. We placed her in a wildlife conservation center, where she was housed with other raccoons. This place also had Hawks, Bald Eagles, Red Fox, Weasels and even a Couger. They kept her until release. I guess I'l a bad person.
The three dogs that you're referring to...one is the one we still have. My 13 year old Choc Lab lives with my parents because they missed him, once I moved and wanted him with them. The third dog (Dominik) was placed with a single family, who's very much loved Blue Pit had recently been stolen right out of their back yard. I guess I'm a bad person for making people happy. And no, premilove...his tails and ears were normal.
And, I'm not even going to get into the DME thread. You know I much I loved that fish (I had her for more than 8 years) and I was devastated when she died.
It's funny, yet irritating to see that you've taken the time to find all of this info, trying to discredit me in front of everyone because if I remember correctly, you've found my experiance and info so "valuable", at times, that you've gone to lengths of specifically PMing me and even emailing me, just to ask MY opinion on certain subjects. I remember, many times, in misc threads, where someone has had questions and you've said "ask Andy, he'll know".
To say that I lost pretty much all respect for you is an understatement, unfortunately.
And, with my track record for being a bad animal keeper, in your experiance, this Monitor was taken from horrible conditions. No heat, no humidity, no habitat, a diet that was so unhealthy that he wouldn't have lasted another 6 months in the care of the previous owner. I guess that also makes me a bad person.
