A Mobile, AL ‘Den of Thieves’?

October 13th, 2007 1 Comment

If there is one thing that The Bull can not stand it is the existence of thieves in our society. One of the few things worse than your basic thief is one that steals from charitable organizations, and that, Dear Reader, is what we are dealing with today.

As you are aware, my dear wife, Lady [...]

From Fox News….

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A 15-month-old boy suffered minor injuries when he was attacked by a 4-foot ball python in a Mecklenburg County park here.

Christine Abdelmonem had taken her son, Adam, to get a better look at some ducks waddling nearby in Freedom Park on Monday. As she lowered the boy to the [...]

Dogs as Tax Deductions

April 17th, 2007 4 Comments

At first I thought this must be a joke. No way any thinking person could possibly consider such action as legitimate. So, I double checked the URL, followed the link to Congress.org, and damn me if there wasn’t a real proposal to make dogs allowable as a tax deduction! DOGS!

How’s that for [...]

Why Big Pythons are NOT good ‘Beginner’ snakes

March 28th, 2007 1 Comment

Today I was asked by a person calling our Reptile Rescue, (Chaos & Critters), why we take such great care in who we allow to adopt potentially giant pythons. The reasons are simple: They get huge, they are amazingly fast when attacking, they are expensive to keep, and can kill you or your kids simply [...]

Exotic Rescue Needs Vehicle

September 22nd, 2006 No Comments

Our little Exotic Critter rescue, Chaos & Critters, has been growing madly over the last year. If this keeps up, we’re going to need a new building before long. Right now though, the single most serious need is for a vehicle, (car, sm. van, or light truck/SUV), for use during the day. Lady Beth or [...]

One Rescue that is Cheap to Feed!

July 6th, 2006 6 Comments

It is early. I’m the only one up. I’m bored. So, I go and adopt a ‘virtual’ pet. At least he is cheap to feed…

Adopt Your Own Virtual Pet!

What am I thinking?! I just fed 5 dogs, two cats, three kittens, and have yet to feed three pythons, four dragons, five ferrets, and one Uromastix [...]

May 18th, 2006 No Comments

Well, there comes a time when you’ve got to stop and see the truth, no matter what the hurt.

Our Exotic Pet Rescue, Chaos & Critters, is nearing that point. Not there yet, mind you, but we are getting there. We’ve spent quite literally thousands of dollars to save Exotic pets that were abused or were [...]

Sanguine is growing!

May 13th, 2006 No Comments

LZIL: file not found:/home/omar/public_html/bullspeak/wp-content/Saguine01.jpg Here, take a look at my little girl. She’s doubled her length and multiplied her weight several times since she came home with me. When grown she’ll be around 6 feet long and weight a whopping 30 to 40 pounds! Blood pythons don’t grow terribly long but get enormously thick.

Welcome, Sanguine!

February 4th, 2006 No Comments

It’s finally happened.

I have a Blood Python, (Python brongersmai). I’ve named it “Sanguine” as in bloody, over-confident, etc. Not sure if it is male or female yet. It’s still a very young blood python, just 18 inches long. Not very far from newly hatched actually. Very feisty but hasn’t struck at me - so far. [...]

Tax Exempt Status at Last!

January 30th, 2006 No Comments

After months of jumping through Governmental hoops, our animal rescue (Chaos & Critters) finally recieved our notification from the Infernal Revenue Service (IRS) that ourapplication for Tax Exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Tax Code has been approved!

YAY!!

That means we may start collecting donation - tax exempt donations - to help feed and care [...]

Ain’t he cool? Booger here is in need of a home. Currently he lives with his long time human parents who now, due to age and health, can no longer care for him. According to our Reptile Vet, this Iguana is the best cared for lizard she has [...]

Herper Humor…

October 18th, 2005 No Comments

Slept well, but awoke too stiff to get out of bed unassisted. I tried to go out and clean more of the hurricane debris up yesterday and did too much. Sucks, but I’ve got no one to blame but me. Perfect timing too. We are supposedly getting “a large snake” in at our Rescue today.

“A [...]
