You only need a permit in the state of Texas for specific species that are known as controlled exotic animals. And so forth. @444mealdeal.bsky.social read this all.

This is simply not made as public due to them wanting to keep poachers from doing to punch any area that I have ever seen or photographed the indigo I keep private and I do not show people how to do it.

Which if you looked up Harris county Parks and wildlife department wardens but you will see this number is one of the ones listed. In the state of Texas you are allowed to collect any animal that is no longer on the threats and species list this includes Texas indigo snakes as of a couple years ago.

I have hands on experience with a plethora of species native and not as well as I am known locally well. The Game Warden even offered to call me to relocate snakes when I get all this fixed. As He saw no issue with my care, could tell I was well educated, etc. here is him confirming this:

Again. Look at the other link, if you read under it and open up the files it shows that the bill was amended several times. It is legal. I know the laws dumbass. I'll legit get a shit tone of people agreeing with me and the game warden to confirm so you'll fuck off trying to make me look bad.

I broke down crying my eyes out and missed that snake DEARLY and still do. I LOOK back at pictures of him often and feel like I failed. Animal loss happens, sometimes in ways we cannot control. I shouldn't be getting shit for a situation I had no ability to fix.

That is not animal abuse. I took my precautions and set everything else up as I had before. The AC broke and noone checked on it as Noone else bu I care for the animals. I would have had no idea at all and there was nothing I could even Do.

Thats. Not. Animal. Abuse. It. Was. A. Accident.

The AC had turned off as my room was separated from the house, the lights were on, and it was hotter than normal that time of year. We were gone for a week or more. The snake died due to overheating they are a snake that prefers 80°f or less.

I was waiting to get paid to renew. I got ciated for auditing to have a indigo recently and for having 2 native species currently. Thats it. Context clues and asking people.

The only reason I would have gone to jail is due to permits and licenses. I do not have a updated hunters license due to alot of shit. I got a citation for collecting without a permit. If I have indie and permit nothing would've happened. Indie without a permit and im in major shit.

Snakes unlike other vertebraes survive when head is chopped off, or similar. You need to destroy their brain as it is the quickest and most humane way other than chemicals to put them down.

I am sorry for everything else, and this is a good by, next time talk to herpetological peeps! Not TPWD.

Use Nailguns to put reptiles down, as it is humane when you know the anatomy and such of animals- which I do as I have taken Vetmed classes and helped many times with a few operations.

You don't know me Alex. Noone does. I accept everything else but those are simply false.

Stuff was that I had not been renewed my permits.

As for the "left an animal" I was out of town with Noone at the house, the AC and room was fine when I left. Came back and the AC had broke and the house got too hot. I was gonna for WELL over a week.

FWC and other wildlife authorities-

Ill leave the fandom and spaces and go slient if it satisfies you just. leave. Me. Alone. My document doesnt defend me, it pit everything out, screenshots, texts, much more and lays it down from my point but paints everyone as a guilty party and shows I accept my mistakes. Period.

Im done. Stop. Say what you want I don't care. I have never done shit to hurt animals but that once and it was for the good of the animal, I have never tried to hurt anyone, or do shit wrong. Ive been misled and have learned and accepted mistakes. I want to STOP and move on.

Especially W/C ans Imports you have failures to thrive. A few of the breeders I bought from have recently been shown to have a issue with animals dying months after purchasing with proper care even. The game Warden saw no issue with my care or handling not did he seem concerned over this text.

That was not at all what it was, I put the snake down and due to surrounding circumstances I spiraled and latched onto it. I accept and KNOW what I said was wrong but it was just words. My behavior with my animals, outreach, and care shows otherwise. When you work with alot of animals.
