See I have two boas. One female one male, a breeding pair I am fully ready and already started building their racks for their adult size The racks they are in now are properly enriched- fake plants, hides water bowl, temp checkers and the system is on a thermostat. I also have two ball pythons. One living in their current rack and one that will move in once the boas adult racks are done. People who do NO research or give the bare minimum irritate me.
Ive never gotten a pet unless everything was set up and I was sure I had everything.. (mostly fish. their tank is always cycled before I go to the fish store. sometimes I have to ask the peeps there what food would be best for em, but usually I already got the food too )
I get a lot of people in my ball python Facebook groups asking for help because they bought 2-3 ball python and dont have the space or equipment to care for them. Maybe instead dont buy them?
I have the opposite of that problem. There are a lot of animals I have experience with and would love to own again but can't because I'm not able to suit their needs. Birds being one.
My brother has fish tanks. He thought they'd be 'easy'. What a joke on him. One is over-run with snails now and he's had to get Assassin snails to get rid of the others. He also tends to have too many fish. He over feeds them as well, then bitches that the water stinks and he has to change it all the time. He's a doof.
Dakota smiled and took his hand. She went to the passenger seat and closed the door. Then they drove home. "So what happened with your dad?" Dakota asked.
"Oh. Well at least we won't be seeing him around." Dakota smiled and got out of the car. She ran to the barn. Dakota opened the door and went to Athena's stall. Athena saw Dakota and nuzzled her. She pranced around the stall and whinnied. Dakota let the horses out to graze and went inside. She made lunch and sat down. After she finished eating, she took Jacob up to the barn attic. She showed him all the stuff that she found.
"Yeah, It's mostly my mom's old stuff. I've been looking through it and found her old rodeo clothes." She went down the stairs and showed Jacob. Athena, Flame, Pepper, and Corrin waited anxiously for their food. Dakota fed them and went in to groom Pepper.
Dakota smiled. "I love you too." She stepped out and grabbed his hand. They both walked inside together. Dakota sat down on the couch. "I sent the invatations for the wedding. It's only five days away!" She needed to go to the wedding store and get her dress and shoes still. "I'm going shopping. I'll be back soon." She went to the car and drove to the store.
Dakota walked through the store. She wanted a country wedding. She was going to wear her mom's cowgirl boots. Dakota walked around and found a gorgeous white dress. It had lace sleeves and dragged across the ground. Dakota got that too. She had to hide it. The box it came in was small enough to fit in the back of her car. She decided to hide it there. Dakota got in her car and drove back home.
