can vouch for ostrich its lovely as a cheese burger or kangaroo steaks and moose (my local butcher is a variety lol)
pet hate is those that come in your house see a snake and squeal or jump up on the sofa screaming just cause my bearded dragon ran past...i mean hello i do have ear drums  |

To be fair, I didn't do ANY research before getting Rufus! That being he was a surprise for my birthday. But I am clever enough to do as much research whenever I have a spare moment! I even research (and get quite paranoid) about the bad stuff that could happen!
I don't like it when you are told you MUST do something because that's that persons opinion so must be true... I'm all open to hearing advice from anybody and everybody, but feeling like I'm a bad person for not doing something that the one person said isn't very nice. |

| lots of things bug me, even the smallest thing can send me on a rant, but i'll try and narrow it down!! pets shops selling animals the week before christmas, its not just dogs that are for life!!! people that dont look after their animals properly! and people who lable an animal as horrible/argessive etc just because they don't like that species! so mostly people! lol oh and when the oh dosen't listen to me!! |

I agree.
Firstly the very spelling of that annoys the living heck out of me. Its a forum, people should have the courtesy to write in proper sentences.
Secondly, the whole subject of retained tail shed not being a major issue annoys me too. It is an issue. It would **** me off if something on me fell off because I was not being looked after properly etc. Granted there are cases that there was genuinely no awareness of retained shed and it had been happening before they had gotten the snake (9 times out of 10, this is usually the case). But it takes 2 minutes to check the tail tip on a shed (unless the snake has had a bad shed). |

| checking the shed for eyecaps and tip of the tail is the first thing i do after my snakes have shed and if i spot anything that looks a bit untoward eg broken shed or missing tail tip i get a warm damp towel and wipe them down just to be sure |

What really bugs you about snake keeping/keepers?
