    Leaving a job because of the way managements treats you is one of the hardest but most rewarding things you could ever do. I worked somewhere that mistreated me and intentionally scheduled me on lousy days and leaving was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I can not stress how important it is to put your mental health before going into a job that makes you miserable. It's not worth it!

I had an awful job before too, but I felt guilty about leaving. Luckily, I had friends who made me realize that my mental health and well being comes first. Company be damned.

    This was not boring at all! I fell in love with snakes especially BECAUSE they are so easy to take care of. I often am pretty tired from work - often doing night shifts and weird sceduling - and i love to just see my corn snake chill in his favourite cork bark tube. I lived with cats and dogs quite a while, realising, i was allergic, too but it didn't really click to get a reptile. I continued with rats after i left home, and took care of them for around 5 years. Never got into birds, actually. But once i got a snake, every other pet seems less interesting now xD Thank you so much for sharing your background with us! This was lovely! Lots of greetings and a happy future to you all (Emily, Ed, Cheyenne, and all the other lovely reptiles there)

    Yay! Ask and you shall (maybe) receive lol This was an awesome video, Emily. And no way was it kind of boring, that was really awesome! Thinking of sending some cool stuff to your PO box! What I wanna know next is, I remember a while back in one of your videos you mentioned that one of your snakes thinks of your hand as food since it kept associating your hand with food-- I wonder if you could possibly make a video about that (or if someone in the comments could help me out with how to feed a snake properly without it thinking you are food) *love your videos as always!!*

    She made a video about equipment every reptile owner should have, search for that one. She talks about some feeding tongs in that video.

    If you only approach your snake to feed it, it'll associate you with food and go into "food mode" when you open the enclosure. As Realism said, use feeding tongs. Presuming your snake eats in its enclosure, you can get a snake hook to take it out of the enclosure - that way, it'll think "oh, I'm outside, I guess it's not food time?" and calm down after a bit. If you take the snake out frequently, it'll stop associating you with food. You can wear a thick long sleeved shirt and some gloves in the meantime if you're worried about getting bitten. If you want to read up on the psychology behind associations, the search term is "classical conditioning". Lastly, always wash your hands before handling, to be 100% certain that your hands don't smell like anything vaguely edible. I also recommend watching Emily's video on how to tame an "aggressive" snake. Even if your snake is food driven rather than actually aggressive/defensive, the same methods apply. Good luck!

    My ball python never really got rid of that hand in cage = food association even after 4-5 years of me owning him and strictly feeding in a bathtub. (He was cage-fed and rarely handled in the previous 15 years) My solution ended up being a poster tube. 😂 I'll put it in front of his hide spot and in the event he strikes he just harmlessly grazes the tube. It also gives him something to fixate on until I can "unlock" him by picking him up.

    You go, Girl!! I am so glad you followed your dreams and are doing what you love. Thank you for sharing your story! I'm sorry how you were bullied here and there, but I think they were jealous of how smart you are. Keep on keeping on!
