I worked at a pet store in college. There was a really chill baby king snake there that I’d hang out with when I was working the cash register. He’d loop around my neck and just hang out like a little snake necklace for hours. Scared the shit out of a few customers who thought he was a piece of jewelry until he moved 😅
Jealous! Way better than a lap cat on so many levels…
wow a bat flittered into me in my office hallway today, awkward flight like a moth, weighed practically nothing when it hit my leg. it was hairy and cute with black ears. i brought it outside. then i go on lemmy and see a fricken bat necklace.
A bat being active during the day and colliding with you is very abnormal behavior. If rabies exists where you are (this includes the UK for bats) see a doctor ASAP. Like, I wouldn’t go to bed without doing it. It’s possible for you to be bitten without feeling it because of how small they are, and disorientation is a sign of rabies in bats.
It’s totally fixable even if it did have rabies and bite you, you just have to go get a (normal, NOT in the stomach) post-exposure shot.
you’re very right. i went and got the first shot. will need 4 total.
I’m glad you got seen by a doctor!

We did it guys!
seriously, i’m realizing now this might have saved my life.
I’m glad we brought it up and glad you took it seriously!
Did it hit any bare skin? Might be a good idea to get shots for rabies. Bat bites and scratches can be so small we don’t feel them.
I agree with the others. Get a shot now. The survivability if rabies is virtually 0 when symptoms show up
Wait? Somebody survived rabies after symptoms show up?!
IIRC, there’s one tribe of humans somewhere that regularly survives rabies, but it’s some pretty entrenched genetics that they can’t replicate yet.
But beyond that, it’s basically a sure thing you’ll die.
bats just look scary up close flying if your not used to it, but yeah they look like moths. source: used to see bats in old friends farm house.
One person’s perk is another person’s nightmare.

This is how I imagine half this sub spends their nights, the other half are sobbing at a 47 page scientific papers incorrect usage of the word “disambiguation”
Disambiguate it for us. We don’t know what it means.
“Bat drip” does not sound like something I want anywhere near my mouth if I’m being honest.
Imagine working in a gorilla sanctuary.
or a sperm bank
Show me a single law that does not permit the wearing of a tasteful pearl necklace.
Tiny gorillas hanging on my neck.
Now… That is the cutest thing i saw today. And this afternoon i learned about mini cows. So that sais a lot.
Hello, Covid-24!
In bat or other animal sanctuaries, all animals are checked and treated by vets, they are not a risk for the workers there.
Like this Lord of the Night
OH MY GOD IS THAT A BAT SHAPED PACIFIER?! I CANNOT CONTROL MY CUTE AGGRESSION RIGHT NOW!
Is she eating those?
Eating? No, of course not.
Look at this as the bat-world’s equivalent of that that Piper Perri meme.
Can’t believe the writers left us hanging for a sequel for so long!
Illegally cute 🥺

+2 for baby bats
-1 for Papyrus
That’s so adorably batty!
Since I’m scared of the amount of viruses bats carry, I would be scared shitless. (as a sidenote I’m going to assume these bats are not carrying any viruses)

yeah that’s what i thought.
This is just me, but bats give me the creeps so this is a personal nightmare IRL
yeah I think they’re kinda cool from a distance but “what if rats could fucking fly” can’t be that fun up close.
