NARBC dallas is coming up! heres a tip for anyone looking to go, or anyone looking into getting into reptiles for the first time:

breeders are a GREAT resource for information, but remember that a lot of their advice is from "doing this for 30 years". THIS IS A RED FLAG! that doesnt mean that anyone who says this is a bad keeper by ANY means, but this phrase truly means nothing.

has that 30 years been spent keeping these animals in too tight enclosures? animals who dont thrive long term? animals who have bad health, but a keeper who isn't educated enough to realize? animals that have bad genes? upfront, reputable, trustworthy animal keepers and breeders specifically will show you the conditions their animals are in. trustworthy animal keepers will backup their care standards with up to date research and scientific understanding of the animals they keep. if they cannot keep up with current care standards and current biology, which is readily accessible via the internet these days from other trustworthy keepers with degrees and education who can talk the talk AND show off their healthy animals and always strive to improve their quality of life. always ask questions, always do your research, and always be kind. do not buy animals from people who dont know what theyre doing, it gives them the means to continue doing it. as long as you buy from them, theyll continue to sell.

I have pet isopods now

#rambling #isopods #invertibrates #porcellio scaber #bugs #they have the koi morph and were $10 at the Arlington NARBC #also i know they aren’t technically bugs but they are in spirit #also it helps folks who want bug-like stuff filtered #anyways they’re gonna get a bigger house sometime this week hopefully #I’m setting up a terrarium for them and the graffiti legion #Aka Vandalism’s 100+ spiderlings who have been living in a plastic bag for those unaware of my Charlotte’s Web moment #already have a drainage layer set up but am washing the soil I plan to use as substrate #since I wanna make sure it doesn’t have any pesticide residues or pathogens #drying it will take a not small amount of time

I’m not religious but I’m asking everyone to pray for me to whatever god will listen this weekend because, tragically, I’ll be in the state of Missouri

#everyone who knows me irl knows I beef with Missouri #the only pro is that I’ll be surrounded by reptiles because I’m going to NARBC

In the recent Snake Discovery video of them visiting the Tinley NARBC show, they introduce us to a breeder, JD Constriction, who specializes in axanthic ball pythons. In the video, he shows a recent new morph that he bred, an axanthic batman complex that he calls the Arkham Knight, and I looked up the morphs involved in the batman complex, which are clown, leopard and spotnose. I recalled you mentioning super spotnose as having a wobble similar to spiders, but are regular spotnoses okay if bred in this fashion?

Spotnose on its own does not have a wobble. All the morphs involved in batman morphs are ethical, and they're super rare still but there seem to be no issues with them! I always advise caution with these designer morphs, because there are a lot of breeders who will 100% prioritize profit and aesthetic over the snake's health, but I've seen no evidence that anything's wrong with batman morphs.

And batman morphs are just beautiful, too! I'm a sucker for practically every morph combination that has clown in it...

I'm really angry about the people selling green anacondas at the NARBC Tinley show. Can we not encourage that please. Jesus fucking Christ

#I don't think large constrictors should be this widely available #especially highly aquatic ones #most of the people who have large constrictors do not care for them properly #thank you Brian Barczyk for that

[marblemartian]

no offense to ball python Keepers, theyre wonderful snakes and i love them, fucking TIRED of all the breeders though. way too many people breeding them, the market is over-saturated and theres more people starting breeding projects when we absolutely do not need them, theres literally no point.

part of why i say this is because about Every vendor at an upcoming NARBC is a BP breeder. in comparison though, there are 152 vendors attending and 11 of them breed hognoses, about 7 if not less of them currently have hognoses available. only ONE of them is a hognose exclusive breeder.
