Yes, we have cut way back on advertising at @SnakesPlus - honestly, the tariffs hit us really hard. Plus, we traditionally source 80% of our inventory from Venezuela - so we have to rebuild that supply chain
@BenRogers@SnakesPlus No comment, but I will say Pete is quite the jokester and is probably fine. Also, I heard thirdhand that he was considering moving, so there is always the chance he took another opportunity
@ktfuntweets@PrestonShawn KT, would it make you feel better if you knew I endorse a lot of Project 2025 principles, especially the 37 pages focused on protection of petting zoo owners?
@ktfuntweets 100% confirmed. The mercury levels in the swamps are driving the snakes insane (mad as a hatter!). And the abundant food makes them grow like crazy. The last 3 champion fighting pythons all came from Florida. The US was never competitive before
@WestT3xasVibes @SnakesPlus If you are over 250 I always recommend a Python for scale. It’s a slimming snake. For lighter dudes, go with venom. A Western Diamondbacks delights four of the five senses.
@BenRogers We only have 11 stores open until Nov 1, as 16 of our locations converted to Spirit Halloween stores this year ($$$). Back to full strength soon!
In the words of retail snake sales guru @garysnakes: “Snake ownership is about passion. Starts early in most of us. In my 20’s, I used it primarily as a way to try to get laid. Leaned in on the eroticism. When that didn’t work, I found myself needing to sell a bunch of snakes.”
