Re: peed on me

Well you got peed on your half way to being a herper. Now you just have to get bit.

Re: peed on me

haha being peed on is only the first step. Sounds like you're at the second step now, at least with Ball Pythons, refusing food. BPs can be very picky sometimes, so you may need to get use to them skipping a meal, or two. I offer food every week, same day, if they don't take it, they wait till their next feeding day, which for some of the older snakes can be an additional 9-11 days. I would try feeding again on Saturday, if he doesn't take it, then wait till the next week. Just make sure you're temps and humidity is on point, and that they're being messured by a digital thermometer, and it's just a waiting game, they'll eat when they're hungry. Just keep an eye on their weight, if they start to lose weight, then we'll cross that bridge when we get to it!

I haven't been bit in 6 years. Do I have to forfeit my herper card?

What are the qualifications of being a herper?

As long as you didn't "enjoy" it, you're going to be alright.

Re: peed on me

What if you have nippy (or plain nasty) snakes and still haven't gotten bit? If it's 7 years my bite-card expired a few years ago.. My pee card has been renewed last Friday though, i have a permanent subscription on weekly-peed-on by my Nicaragua male. Loose bowls have a new meaning once you 'piss' him off.
