VERY IMPORTANT PSA FOR PET OWNERS WITH A MICROCHIPPED ANIMAL

If you’re like me, you got your pet microchipped and didn’t think twice about it. It’s in there, so you’re safe if you need it. Today, I called the microchip company (HomeAgain) to get the phone number updated, only to find out that my dog’s microchip was never registered. We paid the SPCA $18, and they implanted the chip, but they never enrolled it with the company. The lady on the phone says that this happens a LOT all over the country, she gets countless calls every day from owners who have lost their pets, only to find out that their microchip was never registered. 

If the chip was never registered/enrolled by the people who implanted it, it has NO personal information on it. It’s a blank chip and your pet can NOT be traced back to their original owner. The chip ID number you were given is basically a dud, and if your pet gets lost or stolen, they might as well NOT be microchipped. 

So PLEASE, find your paperwork and call the microchip company. Ask to speak to a representative, and ask if you can verify that your pet’s chip is active. I was able to activate the chip for FREE. Luckily, my dog isn’t lost so my story has a happy ending, but please, for the sake of your pet, check your microchip. 

A signal boost would be very much appreciated! I don’t want anyone’s pet to get lost with a useless microchip, I can only imagine how much heartbreak that would cause!

I keep seeing people in the ball python tag who keep taking pictures and disturbing their snakes while they are in shed. When a snake, any snake, is in shed it is best to avoid handling or bothering them to help keep stress to a minimum. 

I have also seen quite a few people who are making their Ball Pythons swim in their bath tubs. This can also cause high amounts of stress, as Ball pythons are terrestrial snakes and are not the best swimmers. While they can swim, they don’t normally and will avoid swimming in water that is deep to them as much as possible. Dropping a terrestrial snake into a tub of water to watch it swim will just cause unnecessary stress in the animal.
