Speaker: Wow.
Speaker: But yeah, i mean, they're there're they're a simple animal to take care of, but also anything's time-consuming. I mean, there's no ifs, ands, or buts about that.
Speaker: But yeah, they they're fun to have. ah He's interesting. I got another one in there, too. His name's Skittles. He's kind of a citrus mix. mean does really He's kind of pretty, but he's sleeping. I didn't want to bother him, but Special Ed, of course.

Speaker: Other than that, I mean, like I said, I'm just trying to get back into things. Yep. e ye And just talk for a little bit and everything else. I know it's not going to be very long episode tonight and stuff, but...
Speaker: Like I got said, I've been gone. Needed to get back into the flow. um I'm still working on some guests too and the but behind the scenes what's been going on just to get back into this.
Speaker: yeah they Yeah, the reptile community so far, it's been interesting, we'll say. There's been some drama as usual, but that's given.
Speaker: Some people has been pretty shady that you you know Just like friends. Well, people you think are friends. Some people found out the hard way on certain ones and stuff that you really can't trust them.
Speaker: But I'm fortunate. I've got a good good select few in the community that I would talk to you about anything and i know it wouldn't go anywhere. But yeah, they it's just it's just getting ridiculous. We're supposed to be a united front and It's still that clicky click thing where everybody just turns their back. and Oh, I'm buddy buddy with you here. Then the next next time, as soon as you're out of the room, this person's a terrible breeder. This person's not duda that. du But yeah, they just need to stick together because, man, we're divided in the reptile community. it's just
Speaker: It just takes a lot away from it. Um, we're, we're trying to set examples to bring new young generation into this hobby, but with the way social media is everything else and stuff, it's just hard to do, um, and get, get it to get new people in here when all they see is the drama fighting, bicking, bickering, bitching and everything else. and and we wonder why we can't pass on the generations, uh,
Speaker: of this hobby and everything else. It's because they see if we get into it, I mean, I keep seeing it on Facebook groups, people getting their first ball python.
Speaker: Well, who dear they try to ask questions. They, but they just, they get, they get related and because they're new and people just think they're God's gift and,
Speaker: Some of these people I've looked into that are the ones bashing the others, they shouldn't be given advice, period. So, but that's what it is. Shit like that going on everything else. So,
Speaker: um, but yeah, like I said, Nelson's got Steve Nelson. He's big in with the Mickey Myers. They've got to show me reptile shows and stuff and everything. saying And, uh,
Speaker: they've been doing big things. They got their YouTube channel now. Steve's like main stable of that channel. So it's hard to get him to come back on because of his busy schedule. Um, got a few other people I want to talk to, to have come on the show.
Speaker: Um, I might also get with a few of the, another podcast in the reptile community. We may deal with cohab, uh, Show here within the next couple weeks, maybe in a month. Get all of us together. and Do one big show here on the network. And introduce you folks to some of the people that I socialize with and follow in the hobby.
Speaker: They're very good people. Most of them are ball pon bob the ball python breeders. um They've done some amazing stuff. That and I got a few that are into the retics, which is the big snakes.
Speaker: Beardies, chameleons. um There's a lot of good information out there. It's just finding the right niche. And if you guys wanted to know which ones I prefer, i could send you the directions to them besides myself.
Speaker: You guys will learn a lot. They don't downgrade everybody. They try to help. They want to build the hobby. um that's We're all like-minded. So, I mean, it's one of those deals that you got to find that niche where everybody's at.
Speaker: So, yeah.
Speaker: And this is Skittles. This is my other one. He's kind of got some orange and stuff in him and everything else. But, yeah, we got both the beardies out. The boy's got the special end now.
Speaker: as you can see skittles He's always curious when he gets out. He's been ah kind of kind of trying to get him to fatten up some more. But yeah, other than that, I mean, we're doing good.
Speaker: Just figured I'd come on here, like I said, from the beginning. I'm just trying to get back in the swing of things. and Anytime anybody wants to, hit me up. I'll get you information on anybody else that can help you if you want to get into the hobby.
