ZERO temporary employees needed in NYC on new years eve, brother. It's called The New York City Department of Sanitation and we get that whole area cleaned in around 2 hours on 8 an 8 hour shift of 2.5x pay. The best Sanitation Department in the country and best job in the city(if you know, you know).

A traveling circus came to my town a few years ago. A man came to the workshop where I worked and wanted help welding something on a carousel. I went with him to the place where they set up the show and got to see what he wanted help with. It's the worst thing I've ever seen, lots of rusty bits of steel plate on top of each other and patched together with bad welding. Surprised the carousel didn't snap. I explained to him that I had to have large new sheets of steel cut and replace large parts of the arm that held the entire carousel where people sit in order for it to be good. He got mad and wanted me to do it as cheaply as possible and just weld it together so it worked. I refused because I didn't want to be responsible for a major accident. He got really angry but I said no. That's why I NEVER use traveling circuses again

[@krashd]

Some people think that because they are fine risking health and safety that any contractor will also, but as a contractor your reputation is everything - one botched job can remove years of earned trust. Some day these despicable people won't be allowed to own or operate anything more complicated than a frisbee and I'm all for it.

[@LaineyBug2020]

The snakes being carried were all constrictors and naturally have no fangs. Defanging Vipers often lead to death as they usually stop eating. With pythons and boas, as long as you handle them correctly from a baby they are pretty chill. Especially Ball Pythons which can still get up to 4-6 feet. They make great pets because they like to cuddle with your body heat. It probably didn't like the belt loop.

[@WhatTheWHAT524]

My best friend growing up, before he passed carried his ball python around his neck EVERYWHERE he went. Sometimes people would notice at the store and lose their minds. Many poor souls would have a meltdowm. Like full-blown panic attack. It was actually quite mean of him, but he didn't do it to be mean. Basically, he called it his emotional support animal before that was a big "thing." I miss him always!! But smile whenever I hear or see someone with or talking about snakes especially ball pythons. Best wishes to you and yours!

[@Yep108]

My Ball Python is a constrictor. Her fangs would hurt... they have retractable fangs that can lock jaw onto prey.

[@davident1]

@@Yep108 Ball pythons do not have fangs. Instead, they have as many as 100 inward curving teeth. Most nonvenomous snakes do not have fangs.

@@davident1, agreed. My husband's friend John had a ball python he used to let roam around his den at will, much to the consternation of his wife and unsuspecting visitors. However, one day the snake bit John. Of course it wasn't poisonous, but the wound got badly infected (staff infection, I believe), and John nearly lost his hand. That was the end of John's snake friend.

[@davident1]

@@JewelSt300 Ouch. I had two constrictors, one Python and the other was a Boa Constrictor. I had them for years, one of them was 7 feet and the other was 9 feet long. My sister and I used to take them to Elementary schools and fairs, so kids and adults could take pictures and hold them. When I got engaged, my fiance said NOPE. LOL So I had to sell them.

[@stefpina8590]

Born and raised and still here in NYC, natives walking around with a python is def a regular thing. Especially for Puerto Ricans in NYC. It’s part of the package we get when we’re born. You’d be surprised by how regular it is to see people walking around with any kind of reptile on their shoulder. ETA: I used to live on the 6th floor of a walk-up. Walk-ups are buildings with no elevator.

[@LFROSTVEVO]

[@graceaute3648]

To the point of apartment buildings without elevators, I live in Paris and I can confirm that certain buildings are “grandfathered in” because of historical precedent. It is not possible to make a lot of buildings accessible because of the structure. So it’s very common to have to walk up 5-9 flights of stairs here. A PSA for American tourists- if they don’t specifically highlight elevator access, you’ll be walking up flights of stairs. 😂

[@marie23926]

NYC rule is unless it's more then 6 floors, you don't have to have one. Many doctors now though for convenience etc but it's not necessary.

[@popupin]

lol ball pythons are actually usually pretty docile and make great pets, I work at a pet store and people come in with them all the time. Though I would agree, for a majority of their time they're better off in a proper enclosure to keep them stress-free, taking them out (not in crowded public areas) from time-to-time could be a good bit of enrichment for them.

[@chanmi1957]

Hey guys, my own missus loves this simple potato leek soup recipe. 2 tbsp unsalted butter 1 sweet onion peeled and diced 3 leeks use the white part only, diced and washed well 1 clove garlic mashed 4 Yukon Gold potato peeled and diced 1 quart chicken stock or water sea salt and black pepper to taste 1 cup heavy cream optional Instructions In a large Dutch oven over low heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, leeks, and garlic and cook covered until the vegetables are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add the potatoes and stock, then bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer covered for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are very soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add cream if you want it richer. A stick blender will smooth things out. I've separately diced and boiled a couple red potatoes and added them after blending for additional texture.

I mean I doubt any of these snakes feel comfortable being carried around a noisy subway and most of these "owners" think they've got a snakeskin accessory and not a living creature so I wouldn't be surprised if the snake is already feeling somewhat threatened and trapped by the environment it is in.

[@nicholsliwilson]

@@Dantprime that at least is true, it’s not good for the snakes to be carrying them around but they’re going to be below the temperature they need to function normally, that’s why they’re so subdued in the clips here. Still my point about pet dogs on the subway/out & about stands because crowds are stressful for dogs & since dogs are endotherms they’re not going to be sluggish from the temperatures but they are going to be as uncomfortable as you are, putting more stress on them. A dog on the subway is more likely to be a threat.
