Malheureux Lil-Jo, we've known each other on here for a while. Heck, it was you who introduced me to Gaia with that Movie Titles Tag game... I just want to ask you a question...*gets down on one knee*Lil-Jo... Will you be my Gaia wife? Real life is enough... I do not need to add internet marriages also

Got up this morning to another "gift" from the pets. There was a full size blue-jay in the living room. The head was no longer attached to the body and there was feathers all over. When the pets choose to bring gifts, I wish they would NOT bring in birds... the feathers everywhere is a huge mess to clean up. The small rodents, whole or parted is a lot less of a mess. scream

I'm glad my cat's basically an inside cat. Though my dog has been know to leave us a few presents around the house. If you get my drift.

My parents have a 10-year-old lady dog who has the nastiest yellow upchuck I have ever seen.
It's particularly bad because the folks have a lake near their home and often take Velvet, the dog, for walks (where she homes in on fish heads and anything nasty she can scarf down.)
It also has rattlesnakes in Spring (a somewhat rare wild threat in the American Southwest, but one most people here about know to watch for in even slightly undeveloped areas like parks on the outskirts of town, etc.), which Velvet, inherited from a shut-in only a year or two ago, does not have enough sense to leave alone!

Our animals have never brought in a snake, but we do have a snake in my daughter's room... he is a midsized corn snake named Haku...

My children have been trying to talk me into getting a snake - a python... I wouldn't mind getting that or a boa, unfortunately, we already have two pets and I don't want the expense of another one. Of course, if Kitty wouldn't quite kill her catches, they would be good snake food. rofl

hmmm, I couldn't stand being in the same house as a boa constrictor, talk about a pet that could turn on you! As in, turn around and around and around you...

Our snake is pretty small compaired to a boa. When he is full grown he will only be 5 to 6 feet and not as big around. Haku does like to wrap around your arms, but he wouldn't even make a good belt yet because he is still too small. He does get a bit excited when it is time to eat and has struck my daughter and bit her a few times... but my daughter likes to wave his food at him so he thinks it is alive.

Yeah, but doesn't a python or a boa require a steady diet of Pinkies? It'd be kind of like committing to buying not only the snake and the materials required to keep its terrarium comfortable and clean (very clean!) but also a new albino mouse every... couple weeks, right? Boa constrictors and pythons eat slowly, right? A common-law aunt of mine with MPD used to have a boa and she got caught in this cycle where she started ignoring the snake (or even forgetting she had it) and that was a pretty sad situation. But I think it was supposed to get it's stunned half-living rodent every two weeks.... yeah, I think that's the right time period.
Me, I like iguanas, but they've got some nasty white poo.

We had an iguana... mean thing, we called it Oscar the grouch. I still have the scar on my arm where it bit me... their teeth are like little razers and I bled for hours.

Theoretically, one could breed the little mice rather than buying them.
Actually, mice are cheap enough that 1 every couple of weeks wouldn't cost that much--at least, not more than dog, cat, or bird food.

Well... snakes ARE an important healing symbol in most cultures and iguanas are pretty mean suckers, right up there with ducks and geese on the animal hostility scale. And gators and rhinos, I hear, but I've only been pecked by a duck and chased by a post farrowing sow as far as the When Animals Attack part of my life goes.
But, really, mice are cheap? My aunt and uncle were always griping.

I wouldn't know about "most" cultures; there are a good number where the default setting for "snake" is "kill it before it kills you," and where that tends to extend to other reptiles as well.
It's been a while since I bought a mouse--but IIRC, they're about a dollar, at most 2, each, if you buy the ordinary sort, and if they're going to be food there isn't any point in getting something fancy. So, if a snake only eats every couple of weeks, I doubt it adds up to more than the amount of money it takes to keep a dog in food.

ours is small, he eats 1 to 2 fuzzies a week. They cost a little over a dollar each. I would like to raise our own mice for the snake, but until he eats full grown mice it is not worth it, we would have too many full grown mice breading too many more babies...
