I’m so inlove with this little guy.

I doubt anyone remembers my post from a few weeks ago about getting a cat from a family friend who was pregnant (against our knowledge). We took everyone to the vet and they’re doing amazing! Mommy kitty did have a minor hemorrhage so we got her in that day to get her the help she needed. She is also doing fantastic now. Most of the kitties have a forever home waiting for them once they’re ready but I’m struggling not to keep this little baby for myself.

I’m terrified to be alone in my house.

Ever since I moved into this house in August I’ve had things happening. I used to work night shift so I would gradually move my stuff into my new house in the middle of the night since I was awake. I was cleaning my bathroom and I seen a man staring at me through my window. I honestly froze, I just sat there staring at him for 5 minutes before calling my boyfriend who was actively on the way to the house. I’m not sure why I didn’t call the cops, I didn’t even think to. He called the cops while we were on the phone. When they showed up he was gone. Ever since then I hear a man talking outside of my house in the middle of the night. I’ve heard it outside of my bedroom window, outside my living room window, I’ve seen a man walking in front of my cars and disappearing behind my house. I convinced myself I was crazy until a friend was over a few weeks ago. We both heard him talking. I don’t have any male neighbors that live even remotely close to me, I really don’t have any neighbors who live super close to me and don’t share a driveway or yard with anyone. Then the reality of it sunk in. It’s the same man from the first night, I finally realized it after seeing him again . A different friend just left the house not even 20 minutes ago and texted me that she heard a man whispering right by my front door. She doesn’t even know about this since I haven’t really said anything to anyone except my boyfriend. I know I should call the cops, but I’ve been told they won’t do anything. I’m so scared every second when I’m here alone. I don’t know what to do.

While replying to a comment I remembered that while my younger sister lived with me she heard him too. I went to the gas station right down the street and she heard someone talking. She texted me to ask if I was home but I had just pulled into the gas station. I raced back home and he wasn’t there.

My ball python has mites and isn’t eating

I got her about 2 months ago and have had no problems with her eating. I left her alone so she could get comfortable and explore for 2 and a half weeks. I would get her out a few times through the week after that except the day before her feeding and 2 or 3 days after. About 3 weeks ago I noticed some spots on her and was super confused and started looking into it, I noticed they were moving and immediately knew something was wrong. I took everything out of her enclosure, replaced the substrate with paper towels and gave her a different hide, a water bowl and gave her a soak. Since then she hasn’t eaten. She will show interest but won’t act on it. She’s 4 months old and I’m getting worried. I know they can go awhile without eating but I don’t want her to have problems because of it. Any tips?

I recently got a ball python (Posie) about a month and a half ago. The first 2 weeks she just kind of explored a bit at night but mostly stayed in her hide. Every week after that she’s been on top of her cork bark or on top of the stick at the back of the enclosure. She’ll be in her hide on the ground but about 30 minutes to an hour after the lights go out she’ll be on top of those things. She doesn’t do much just sits there as I’ve seen so far. Is that normal? I’ve seen a lot of people say they will sometimes climb but others say they don’t do it or shouldn’t have the opportunity to do so. This is my first time owning a snake so I’m not sure. She’s never refused food or showed signs of stress except when we first got her. so I don’t think she’s stressed out now. ( I ordered a 4x2x2 so she’ll be getting an upgrade since she’s only in a 20 which the people I got her from recommended since she’s so small).
