You get the drift. :)

Apparently you did not read the part where I said if the parents knew and told the ER about the rat bite.
And second I have had dealt with the ER many times and frankly the mood there is more "patch 'em up and move 'em out" rather then trying to figure out what is actually wrong.
In fact an average of 100 people are bitten by rats every year in NYC alone.
Talk about zero common sense.
Or how about TarantulaChow?
Really?
He had sand in his vagina.
Oh please tell me what prompted your line about the sand.
I’ve appreciated your sense of humor in the past...and I know this must be a good one!
Yes. You guys are weird
Some dude heard the word “snake” and immediately became *hysterical*.
/see what I did there?
;]
There are snake breeders who are not only millionaires, they have lines of snake morphs named after them.
Not only are they rich and successful, they are immortalized by their incredible genius in cracking the codes of serpentine genetics.
They’re rock stars.
If Mendel had worked with Ball Pythons instead of peas, the science of genetics would be light years ahead of it what it was.
Some who raise snakes are developing miracle cures for the diseases which have plagued mankind forever.
Weird?
No.
True individualists.
Pioneers, even.
I admire people who have the guts to desert the safety of the herd.
You get the drift. :)
And I have found that those who call snake owners ‘weird’ are exhibiting something usually called ‘ignorance’.
But, since we are painting with a broad brush today, let me say this. I find that those who think snake owners are weird are usually unstable and thus should not be allowed to own weapons or have children.
Just saying.
A rat bit my sister, and whitey’s on the moon.
Sorry, let me correct my post.
I meant “weird and thin-skinned.”
lol
So if someone points out the error in your thinking or offers any conflicting facts, they’re being “thin skinned”?
Passive aggressive ad hominem is your response?
I think you’ve missed the irony, here.
I have a particular one of those taped to my fridge.
Cracks me me up, every time.
One of the best strips, ever.
Oh, stop being so thin skinned.
:-P
“So if someone points out the error in your thinking or offers any conflicting facts, they’re being “thin skinned”?”
No, if someone gets hysterical at a joke, has a meandering post about scientists (which said someone is undoubtedly merely a hobbyist and not curing cancer with his snakes) and offers irrelevant facts, they are being thin-skinned.
Also, look up “passive aggressive.”
A passive aggressive response would be “Why, bless your heart, you love snakes as pets.”
Google is your friend.
I’d rather be weird than normal... normal people are boring.
Concerning the rat bite... Rats carry well over 100 communicable diseases we can get. As someone that is weird (not a freaking pansy that is scared of snakes) I feed frozen thawed to almost all of my snakes. I’ve have a few that refuse F/T and will only eat live. Been working with these animals for a few years now and every one is different. Some don’t care others... do.
What absolutely blows my mind is how many “experts” there are on the net that have never owned or cared for a snake. Hell, most have never even held one. Same for the internet commandos that know all about rats.
