Real World?

I was wondering if anyone here saw the episode of Real World when Frankie bought a burmese python?

how does everyone here feel?

i think, its 50/50 good and bad, i saw she has iti n a small container now, with an Under Tank Heater, and without a hide, and I dont know what the substrate is

but that cage will be grown out quickly, and the snake will get big and soon, does she know that? and a burmese python isnt a beginer snake.

will she be able to take care of it when it gets bigger?

shes also feeding it live.....and they are watching it, but I still think thats a bad idea to do.


what do you all think about this?

OH my god, where do I start?The most evident reason that she doesnt need the burm,ALL these people are drunks or have so many issues that they dont which way is up.You could see the look on the guys face at the pet store when she bought it,like do you realy want this one!.She obviously doesnt have enough experience with snakes to provide a healthy and safe environment for it,come on just throw the mouse in the "bag" with the snake.Do these people have a clue,not just the real worlders (crew ,producers ,directors,everyone else involved)that show just p___ed me off to no end.

another reason why I choose to no longer make purchases through a pet store,,,, they only want to make a buck (most anyway) and have no scruples as to wether or not the buyers can handle the animal. i'll only go with responsible breeders now,,,,i learned my lesson- the hard way

i saw that and got so mad at her she only wanted it because it got big,and I noticed the cage right away it only had wood chips in it and the just stuck it in the bag with the mouse im sure the snake was to stressed to eat especialy with them all hanging over watching.
and the poor mouse she tooks it in the bag and shoved it into a tin all day till she came back to feed the snake.
i havnt been watching anything RealWorld since the "Snake Soup" challenge when they were doing the real world verses road rules

disgusting

Thats how I felt about pet stores until I found one that gave me a 20 min exam about the WD I wanted to purchase. People that get pets just cause they think it will make them cool but dont take care of the pets make me sick. You think she would realize at least that she is making herslef look bad and not just ruining the life of a beautiful snake.

personally I think Frankie shouldnt of got the snake because I dont think she knows what shes in for. Do u wanna hear something cool though!? That pet store she got her burmese in is the same pet store I get my snake supplies from. That turtiose she was feeding is really cool to. Ive pet him b4. Sorry I just find it really cool that MTV is so close to my home filming wher I have been my whole life. I personally h8 MTV but I only watch the real world because its in my hometown. I could really deal without all the drama that goes with the show.

But yeah. i think Frankie is gonna be in for a rude awakening when her BUrmese just wont stop growing.
