personally i only see a hoarder. if she really cared about her animals, she'd focus on giving them tank upgrades instead of buying more.
what's wrong with Betta sororities? they've been done before, and if you have a large enough tank it can and has been done, depending on the temperament of your fish. And when I mean sororities, I only support a mostly female one.
But anyway, about Taylor, I personally dislike like. here are my reasons:
- she was gone for 22 hours when her power shut down or whatever. this cooked both her croc. skinks and Pacman frog. why did she not check before she went to sleep or something ???
- right after her skinks died, she already got 2 more
- she's lied about how she got 2 of her kittens
- blames breeders for the death or mistakes of most of her pets, including her halloween crab and a beardie
- she doesn't support the weight of her snake's body
- she has most of her animals as 'show animals' not to care for them properly
- if you look at her rat videos, her rats are SO SKITTISH. she's had them for M O NTH S. if she handled them everyday, they'd be tame.
- her cowfish was for show. the process is get new pet -> dies -> make crying video -> get new pet -> repeat
- she has specifically said in her twitter that she has no time and she's always busy, either her 'job' or she's sick.
- I agree with the monitor situation. she didn't even know the species. she impulse bought it with only looking at info less than a day before getting it
- she impulse buys. a lot.
- many more I could rant on and on but this is CS so I'm not sure I can do that.
- I believe she doesn't know most of the care of most of her animals
