kill it

Jori there licked my hand a lot he was adorable

rats and mice are pests not pets

lol

theyre called fancy rats for a reason

theyre niche

kill them

I've lived through a mouse plague I fucking hate rats and mice

understandable

narrated by Dave Tennant of all people which is nice

ours wasn't quite as bad as this in small part thanks to our 30 or so traps and myself
we'd catch over 30 mice a night and I would usually catch a couple every night by hand too

rats would get some of the mice too, rats eat mice

domesticated rats are like mini dogs when it comes to playfulness

I hate mini dogs too

lol

an absolute betrayal to man's best friend

i dunno what breed of dog i would get next time i get one tho

get a working dog

ive never cared for a dog on my own, only a bit as a kid

other pets i'm interested in are leopard geckos, bearded dragons, and corn snakes

boop the snoot

I used to have 2 bearded dragons

they were cool Velcro and Sam

nice

do they like companionship?

Velcro was pretty chill but Sam was feisty

a family friend used to pick on me but was deadly afraid of lizards he came into my room once to start shit and freaked the fuck out seeing them

they tend to just do their own thing

ah

the size of ball pythons unnerve me so i think i'd go with a corn snake over that

it sounds really fun to design a labyrinthian enclosure for them too

<:pepeDream:612092209545740298>

one enclosure with mice let it hunt its food

oh man that sounds cool

first create a mouse utopia

then add a snake

he who made kittens, put snakes in the grass

That reminded me, once I saw a nigga say "Jethro Tull, he plays three instruments!"

corn snakes and ball pythons reach roughly the same length. the ball python is just a bit thiccer. had a corn snake growing up, and it was like 6ft long as an adult.

@Vesdii also had a fancy rat. theyre affectionate lil buggers.
