New Guy - Page 2

I haven't been a member of this shire long but I do know that you mink, cannot stop buying snakes!!

That said this is a stunner. I prefer boas to pythons but retics are growing on me as are carpets and I'd have a snake this good looking in a heartbeat.

Lol, nice.

I will one day stop buying smake, just not any day soon. My list is a little lengthy lol. And, it's not limited to just snakes. I want lizards as well. =)

Your guy will probably bulk up quickly now that he's being fed a little more Mink. I don't like pushing the envelope too far but carpets can take much larger prey than one might expect. What are you feeding your smaller IJ these days? I also saw in your previous post that you were misting him. What's the humidity like in your area? I've never misted my carpets.

**Minkness** · 01-12-16, 12:20 PM

I only mist when they are about to shed, just to give that little extra bump to assist. I do that for all of my critters.

My little IJ is finishing up the pinkies but will be bumped up to rat fuzzies when I get to the store this friday. She also got mouse hoppers every so often.

New guy took the medium rat without a problem, but I am not sure I should give that to him every week. The previous owner fed him smalls every 2 weeks, so I figured I'd try smalls every week and see how that does him. He's more active than my little girl too. Cruises his tub alot and when I have him out he is super exploitive and squirmy where as my girl explores for about 10 mins, then curls up somewhere warm and chills. This is usually under my shirt, on my shoulder, with her peeking out XD

He also moves REALLY fast. Kind of scared my mom as she saw him trying to get out of my hands to make a break for it when I first brought him home and pulled him out of the pillowcase.

I didn't even know there was a bad meaning to it

reptiledude987 · 01-12-16, 12:54 PM

here its used as a racial slur towards white people. probably the least offensive sounding slur IMO

**Minkness** · 01-12-16, 01:10 PM

I figured it wasn't in malice, but didn't knownwhat it meant lol.

Thanks for the compliment Dave!

Its amazing the differences between the same language. I remember when I spent a semester out in Pennsylvania at university there.

First frat party I went to I asked a group of guys I had just been introduced to whether anyone wanted a fag. Couldn't work out why all I got was odd looks and silence.

I was teaching at a local elementary school also (Catholic to boot) and was doing a lesson on electricity. Set up a basic experiment to see what would conduct and what wouldn't. I asked if any of the children wanted to test a rubber...

I speak with a very broad Belfast accent, I doubt it could even be classed as English half the time
