#neurological problems

Why should an animal that can’t lead a normal life exist purely due to humans being like “ooh it’s so pretty” or “omg it’s little head wobble is so cute”. On one end of the scale being a ‘slight wobble’ it can still be incredibly distressing for the snake visually - imagine constantly nodding your head for your entire life with no control over it. On the other end of the scale, imagine never having good balance, not knowing up from down, the frustration of missing where you’re aiming just to eat and the confusion on the occasion of going for the food and biting yourself in the process and not realising what’s happening, only that you’re in pain and hungry.

Morals are a HUGE part when it comes to things like this. All animals deserve to live, yes, but suffering should not be a part of it when it could be avoided altogether. Spiders only exist because select humans decided to breed them, this morph of snake would not survive naturally in the wild; it would be unable to sustain itself with its neurological issues and probably die off thus ending the problem. But then people came along and were attracted to the pattern, ignoring the issues for the sake of design. This is a living animal.

Personally, I think it’s selfish. However, if you do own a spider already and you take good care of it, you’re a good owner and this post is not for you. But if you’re actively seeking out to own this morph regardless of the neurological condition (unless it’s a rehome and you understand what you’re taking on and prepared to do right by the animal), then your morals need to be reevaluated.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

So my rheumatologist is having me wear a soft cervical collar 24/7 except for bathing. And that sounds fine and doable but it doesn't look like it shows a high success rate.

And if that doesn't cause an improvement, then I might need to get surgery to attach my skull to rods in my spine. That comes with the risk of my body rejecting the implants or the implants puncturing my spine and spinal fluid leaking.

Basically, I'm freaking out.

I have tourettes. I went to a tourettes camp. I picked up three new tics. I'm now a constipated dolphin, I keep smacking my hand against a hard surface (wall, desk, table, anything in front of me really), and I even get to stick my finger up at an unsuspecting stranger. Hazzaa- kill me plz.
