Hey Gabz!!!
She has 42 of her own; the shelter she owns/runs has another 300.
Glad you liked.
whoops! sorry...looks like it’s me who needs her eyes examined.
She deserves a medal.
;D"
LOL!
I won't expect you to take care of the cats, if you let me have some playtime with the snakes. Snakes are people too, you know.
You know what, you might still meet the right one, but if not, God has other plans for you.
In times like these, having a place that’s removed, and learning how to take care of yourself off the grid, is very wise.
Amen-I am from a ranch family, and I live in a rural area because rural areas are barely on the grid, after all. People who can’t do without all the stuff don’t stay here very long.
I would gladly welcome playmates for the snakes.
Along with all the other critters in my care, they don’t often get their full time of snuggles and slithers.
The Boas especially are very annoyed about this.
They would stay out and play all the time if I let them but I have to allot about 3 hours for tree climbing fun per snake for the big ones and 45 minutes of hug-cuddling for the small ones.
Sometimes I consolidate chores and clean house or feed the dogs/hubby with a snake wrapped around me.
[multitasking at its weirdest] ;D
Hubby has a chest cold and I just made him some hot tea with lemon and passed by Bob’s house to see him draped conspicuously and dramatically on his deck.
He wants out but hubby isn’t feeling well and I don’t think Bob can understand that..so he’s moping.
I think you would really enjoy it.
We all love to cuddle and hug our pets but sadly, they lack the physical ability to truly hug us back.
Snakes have no such limitations.
They can hug quite wonderfully.
[and they give pretty good neck massages, too]
:)
Quite a few of my snake friends let their scaly pets interact with their furry pets but I tend to be a bit conservative in that regard, mostly for the safety of the snakes.
An accidental nip/scratch/misstep by the furred pets could be quite dangerous for them.
