Also an employee of PetSmart (not PetsMart like your description says) and I'm sorry that you feel this way towards the company but your comments are very out of context. Please don't assume that we treat our animals this way because we don't. Just like TiaSchenewerk said the breeders we get them from may not be the best but we treat them like our own. I take time out of my own day to come in and help tame them by holding them and giving them love they deserve.
well you did the right thing for sure and this video was a year ago, hows he doing? i was in a similiar situation with a baby bearded dragon last year, there were a bunch of them crowded in a tank in the back with no heat or UVB and they were all in pretty bad shape but i took the one that looked the sickest and he passed away about 2 days later :/ its terrible, they shouldnt be selling animals. and this was petco by the way but same thing
And when people open small family/community owned and ran pet stores, they do it 99% of the time for love of the animals, and monetry profit is seen as a secondary benefit. People who open reptile stores typically have been keeping and caring for reptiles for years before they ever made a dime off of one. Same is true for birds, dogs, fih, or any animal.
The corporations on the other hand exsist only as a means to make money, and the animals are just a tool in that process. Good vid ;)
Petsmart and Petco suck so hard. I don't care what people say about THEIR local branch being better or the exception to the rule, etc. The company as a whole is the problem. If it wasn't for those shitty giant pet corporations, then the local buisnesses would be able to flourish instead of contantly struggling to stay afloat as they do now. People who open small pet stores actually do it for the love of the animals, in huge contrast to the corporations which operate soley for the shareholders.
I agree, i have only bought an African Fat Tail gecko once from a local Petsmart. I was looking for a new night bulb. I always like my lizards to have heat, so instead of driving an hour to LLL Reptiles, a place that i LOVE, i quickly went down to Petsmart. there i met a nice women. She told me of her geckos, and said one was up for "adoption".That was the key word which got me interested. the next day she brought him in from her house, and we talked about it.It was in good condition so i tookit
At least with a corporate business you have a shot at making a difference. This cannot be said with breeders and privately owned businesses, who can easily dodge any scrutiny against them.
Well hell Jesus, despite your good choice in music I'll have to disagree about your views on chain stores like Petsmart.
Despite being chain stores, each one is operated individually, and thus, have varying degrees of quality. All stores do have to follow guidelines set forth by the corporation they represent. If there is a grievance it should be taken to the local manager in a professional manner. If no correction, you take it to the regional manager, and so on until you get a response.
Any additional tips or advise you could give me would be greatly appreciated, I need to find a new vet because I no longer trust my usual, especially since she did something that risky without my permission.
after that, I think it's the parasite meds that killed him but it broke my heart. I trusted the vet with my friend who should have had proper enough care in the first place for this to happen and there are multiple others at my work in the same condition, I'm debating on trying to do it myself but, I wish you better luck than mine. It's hard to nurse something and have all efforts fail. Thanks for keeping the us posted!
I really appreciate these videos, I had the exact same thing happen to me accept unfortunately I work at this store and was heartbroken by this little water dragon's care so I took him home. My vet didn't do nearly that much for my little guy accept assume parasites and she gave me the carnivore care pack and started him on parasite meds (without my permission) instead of the vitamins and anit biotics which I knew that's what the problem was and... my little guy didn't even make it the night
it depends from store to store, I've been to a few petsmarts and honestly I felt like their cages were way to small and the reptiles looked stressed(a monitor in a 3ft long cage it barelly fit in. There is a petco 30 minutes from where I live where they use some of the best stuff they have for their cages. baby iguanas have 4 ft cage with tons of climbing stuff, and chameleons with drippers and vines. the manager there told me she prides her self on keeping their habitats perfect for their helth
plzzz right this back is this in naples Fl becaous i got one there at petsmart and this was the same thing when i bought mine but i brang him back for a new one cous i didint know wat to doo then
I got an Albino Cali King snake from Petsmart. According to the feeding chart he starved a couple times, but he still seems to be in good condition. I guess some of the animals are treated better than others
Yeah I was breeding anacondas at 2 years old, and had a college degree in every reptile thing ever by the time I was out of preschool. I traveled the world and discovered 200 new species of pythons during 3rd grade summer vacation.
I've been studying reptiles for 30 years.....and I'm only 20.
Yeah thats right, I'm way more of a reptile guy than you are.
I agree we shouldn't buy from petco or petsmart.. I have this to say though.. When you need fish food or something small and you have NO other option do it.... Its sad though that a horrible place like petco takes out those family owned petstores that actually treat animals right
I work for PetSmart, and yes I agree the breeding facilities we get our animals from are not the best and the company could find better. However, we treat all animals that come into our store as if they were are own, fish included. At my particular store we only have Reptiles and Fish. If any of them get sick they are immediately taken to the vet, and nurtured back to health at our store. Some make it others don't, we provide the same care as you would from home.
dang! thes comments are off the chart. I have this, I have that. colledge degrees at 20? Any 4 year old with a reptile better hope a responsable parent(s) are takin care of it. Witch was more than likely this case! Rather than argue, why not take some time to write down some educational facts and care guidelines for water dragons. Whitch leads me to my point. The average person is not educated enough to own any reptile. Or for that matter bird, fish, hamster, or anythin else available these days
@warrendevaul hmmm don't ever remember metioning a degree, and at 4 I fed and cleaned my animals, of course with help in some matters, none the less was still caring for them and have been working with them, studying them for 16 years. That being said I do not teach people how to care for animals. I show people how I take care of mine, and allow them to do what they wish, because that is what they will do anyway. If I made one 10 minute video about water dragons,
@cavajason people think they know everything there is to know about that animal and will just go buy one, people don't do research, they don't even really appreciate the animals half the time, they just think it would be cool to have one or that they can impress their friends etc. I don't want to contribute to that kind of behavior, also this video is not about everyday care of a water dragon it is about caring for an animal whose condition is the result of neglect, and the steps to his recovery
@cavajason i totally agree w/ u at one point of my life i wanted a turtle. but hey i was small and later tht turtle died i started crying cause i knew i had made a mistake and now i have 2 red eared sliders having a great life they are happy where they are they have fish they have basking sun and iam making a pond 4 them 2 b even more happy but what iam saying is that 4 every 1 who wants a pet make sure u have the propper care cause i have a poodle who is 16 and still alive he is as happy as eva
@warrendevaul I beg to differ, I know a hell of a lot about the reptiles I own than you do. I make it my business to know even the things I don't need to know, like breeding facts, when I know for a fact I won't be breeding it, so, speak to your own ignorance, buddy, don't try to address my lack of ignorance to make yourself look like you're smarter, or beyyer, or smarter, cuz you don't know jack! I have hospital cages, I have quarantine cages, I KNOW exactly what I'm doing, so buzz off.
@KestrelJames You know exactly what someone else told you to do. Go ahead and load your dragon with all those meds, see what the end result is. I do have expiriance over you on this matter. ( not just 15 years) I look foward to part two of road to recovery. If it makes it that far under your care. Dont mean to sound like a dick but youve got alot to learn.
just for the record, i love Petsmart (well the one here in Longview Tx) i admit not every petstore is the best, like the Petco here in Longivew is HORRIBLE i saw alot of their cichlids covered with ich, but the Petsmart is very clean and they clean cages twice a week, alot depends on the employees and its their responsibility for the well being of the pets, managers dont always care, you just have to hope the employees at your store really care honestly
i know how you feel. i have a water dragon too and the store i purchased him from told me to buy all the wrong things. they told me to feed him only meal worms, have a heat rock for him to sit on, and have this bark stuff for bedding. in a few weeks my dragon was very ill. thank god we took him to the vet and did research. i know i should have done research on my water dragon but i figured i could ask someone who worked at the store. and i will never again listen to those ass holes.
great job bro. I see your a metal head like me so I am sure your used to the ignorant comments from ignorant people. I am currently building a habitat myself and from what i have read you should cover the glass back and sides with something so he doesn't rub his nose on it. Great job tho only watched this one so far but hope he pulls through.
What are the shots you were giving him? BTW my water dragon has MBD and I think he had it already when we got him from Petsmart a couple years back. He's on calcionate syrup every other day and has been for a year or so now.
Very cool man, I respect what you do. I want to own a water dragon, but I don't think I know enough to take good care of it yet. That's impressive the equipment you have invested in and how well you treat this guy, keep it up
awesome! i totally agree about the pet stores, ive had iguanas in the past that i bought from pet stores, three out of four were sick. i hope the little guy pulled through!
I work at PetSmart in Petcare. It really all comes down to management. If a store doesn't have good management, then things can get shitty. Personally in our store, we take supreme care of our pets, probably better than what the future pet-parents will be willing to do. We also take all sick pets to the vet, spending whatever it cost to help them. After we adopt them out for free, and only to serious pet parents. Some stores are shit, that's the way it is, but not all for sure.
@cmcknight2 thank u finally someone else who understands, the management is what it all comes down to, some people on youtube speak about stuff they have no idea about, this dude should not talk about petsmart he has no idea what goes on
Had one that I got from the Petsmart and it died with 15 days of getting. Since it died one day after the 14 they told me that I had to buy a new one! When he got sick I took him back and they wouldnt take him. I bought my new on from another pet store and she is fine and just made a year March 1st. Petco I bought 2 lepord geckos that had a sickness and didnt know. They dont take care of there pets at the stores. Found a place closer to my home that only deals with reptiles.
You're asking people to boycott buying any pet supplies at all in stores, but wouldn't that make us even worse than the stores if we stop buying food for our pets? Then we would be would be slowly killing them trough starvation. How would that be much better?
I love water dragons, there such gorgeous creatures.
Where I live we get around 10-20 wild water dragons wandering into our yard every day, mostly just chilling by our pool. But my dog (who's usually calm) hates water dragons, there have been many times when I've gone out and found one dead in our yard. I'm trying to teach my dog not to hurt them and she's getting better, but I ended up paying for a fence to be built around my pool area so they could be a little more safe.....
Dude I completely agree with you with petco and petsmart. All my reptiles have died from their lack of care. Wound up paying an expensive vet bill because of the mild mouth rot and skin disease he had that showed shortly after getting him.
I am so happy that you had the heart to care for the lil fella! I know it is alot of work and money. I wish there were more people like you. Just today I was at Petco and there African Fat Tailed Gecko had lain eggs. They didn't know how to care for them and were going throw them out. I talked them in to giving them to me. I'm hoping they survive! It kills me to see how poor the reptile husbandry is at these large pet stores :( What other lizz's do ya have?
my baby water dragon has started to develop this icky film over his eye and ive done a bit of research and found out coilded uvb lights can cause water dragons to get keratin conjunctivitis wich is like pink eye. luckily i caught it early on and clean his eye 2x a day but is there any knowledge you can give me on this? I really dont like to see my 4 mnth old water dragon sick
You should be proud of your self dude. Here in the UK we have a shop called pets at home and they sell bearded dragons when i went to get cat food with my mum i looked at them there were 3 6/7 inch long bearded dragons in a area of around 15x18 inches its horrible. If i wasn't 15 i would have bought all three and raised them myself :) one quick question what bleach do you use is it just baby safe or something ?
i bought a leopard gecko from petco and brought it home an it died in 2 days i go to petco and like smartasses they ask me retarded questions. like what temperature is your tank i told them 87 degrees and they asked me what i was using for substrate and i said repti carpet and he said they MUST be on sand, and i freeked, so basically my dad made the bitch read a care book and his own store and proved his ass wrong and they exchange my leopard gecko. He was impacted and i recovered withwarmbath
Not all Petsmarts are bad. It depends on who is the district manager, I work at Petsmart & we take care of ALL of our animals & any and all sick animals are always brought to the vet & treated with proper meds and are never available to customers unless it is 100% in good health.
basically....lol repetitive much? no offense but its good to see someone with enough care for animals that will put as much effort as it takes to keep them healthy and happy so i applaud you good sir.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lmao i wish what you were single?please i would hate having to fit between you and your boyfriend ,and listen better i would have it your music was so bad . you also stated it was still sick?so is it something thats long term in witch case how long will you make it suffer?your right pet stores do take crappy care of the animals thats for sure .dont use the dragon to sound like a vet just because you have some knowledge on it . when you have gone through all the schooling .then speak
@itstemptingme hmm your really worked up over this huh bro? This is a video of me showing how an owner has to nurse a sick animal back to health after having a vet visit, not to mention i actually have vet tech training and have been doing this for 16 years, In no way do i pretend to be a vet or act like one, I simply state what i know and share it with others who may have to do the same some day.
@itstemptingme You are so f*cking rude. Does it really matter about the music,etc? Its not my style of music either but the music wasnt relevant in this video!! He had the heart to buy the poor animal they were mistreating, and dedicate a lot of time to try&cure it and give it a 2nd chance in a better life. Hes not "trying to sound like a vet" retard, its called a proper owner. You NEED all the knowledge you can get to cure an animal by yourself and he was kind enough to share it with others.
@itstemptingme -the world needs more people like this. ahh i cant get over how rude that was :S trying to find any little reasons to bitch about a caring person who is doing some good. Karma will hit you hard.
& to the video: I always hear about those pet stores having pets in bad condition! In australia they need to take good care and know everything about the pets they sell, otherwise if theyre caught with sick animals the environmental officers would shut them down because its illegal =.=
@cavajason really? i thought you needed a bigger one.. sorry... i was thinking about getting one but then i thought about the total money i would cost and i couldn't... so i might get an anole.. any tips?
the same thing happend to me the first lizard i ever got was realy ill i bought it from a pet shop so i have the tank set up perfect for cresties and after a week it dies so i started thinking it was my fault so i go to see a reptile specialist and he tells me the tank is fine and i bought a sick lizard but i didnt no it was sick so then a by two cresties and im going to be breeding them soon but i have a chinese water dragon from a pet shop and its fine but in no the people who work there
well you say "they are kept in horrible conditions, neglected and usually most die. " ok, so what about the fact that you drive 1 hr to get to a pet store, using toxic fumes and polluting this world, and also that humans cut down jungles in which this dragon could have lived in, so why not boycott the entire human race. we are all killing this world together. the human race is committing the largest scale of genocide on every other species in this world. saving one dragon means nothing!!
@wyattthompson1 umm funny thing bout that is first off i don't drive an hour away, and my about monthly trip to a petstore i'm pretty sure isn't contributing to any problems that don't already exist, making points that are irrelevant to the video and that apply to myself less than just about anyone you probably know. saving a captive water dragon isn't my contribution to conservation, but its good to see that its life doesn't matter to you regardless
@cavajason im not saying its life doesnt matter to me, i just feel your telling everyone to stop going to one store because you feel they treat animals badly(i do also), while you talk, and any petsmart i got to their CWD tanks are pretty nice. ill leave you with a quote " If all the insects were to disappear from the earth, within 50 years all life on earth would end. If all human beings disappeared from the earth, within 50 years all forms of life would flourish. Jonas Salk (
@wyattthompson1 well first things first i'm 20, have had reptiles since i was 4, and am currently a biology major in college, focussing on conservation, so i don't need you to tell these things, I have a college education in exactly what you are trying to tell me, and a tank looking nice doesn't mean the animal is healthy, I have veterinary training when it comes to reptiles. A store that makes 90% of their profit off dog and cat supplies has no need to sell animals they can't properly care for
@cavajason dude, just dont even listen to wyattthompson1, he is just like every other hater on earth that just tries to make people look bad just because it's fun, and every little bit helps, so i hink ur video ment to not shop at a big pet store that will suport small business' like the east bay vivarium, wich will make us better people and learn to give and will in turn will help everything
Just because I have had my water dragon only for a few months, doesn't mean I haven't done my research. And I actually got my information from three different vet clinics that have a department specializing in reptile care, not from PetsMart employees. The dragon was sick due to change and there was no indication that he had any other illness. Even if you have so much experience, you shouldn't assume others are "morons" just because you feel you are more experienced.
@ravyne82 My response had nothing to do with how much experience i have, but rather that you in your previous comments prove undoubtedly that you know nothing of these animal's care, or have been misled by people who know just as little, simply by your comments alone you give away so much about yourself, and your experience with the animals, why don't you talk to your 3 seperae vet clinics and see how they would treat a sick animal and then maybe you will understand how foolish what you said was
We had our water dragon for a week or so and we noticed it didn't seem healthy. We took it back, told them we wanted the same one back and they admitted him to the instore vet. They held him for several weeks. When we got him home, he was much healthier. They said that the stress from the change in environment caused his illness which is normal in small creatures. He's about 8 months old, is healthy and happy now. PetsMart saved my dragon. I wouldn't have him now if it weren't for them.
@ravyne82 Haha ignorance is bliss, i could sit here and argue with you, or just plain make you look like a moron but the fact of the matter is you if anything just proved my point by saying you bought a sick water dragon from petsmart, and i didn't realize that buying a water dragon at petsmart, (most likely without having done any research and without knowing anything about the animal) then taking the stores advice for care and keeping it for 6 months made you an expert hmm...
I guess my 16 years of keeping reptiles means nothing, because self richous know it alls who have 6 months of experience who take their advice from petsmart employees who know just as little as the person who is buying the animal. Hmmm i guess i might as well just throw away all my schooling in biology and herpetology, just throw away the 3 years i spent as a reptile vet's assistant, and just must have to forget about the decade and a half of learning and reading and research I have done :(
Unfortunately every now and then a sick creature may be found at any pet store. However, PetsMart has a return policy and if the creature is sick and you return them, they will nurse the creature back to health at their instore vet. If you don't feel the need to use this service, then you only have yourself to blame. My question is, why did you have him in dry toilet paper? That is probably what dehydrated him in the first place. The habitat PetsMart has set up is the proper one for them.
not all petcos and petsmarts are bad. the petco by my house is really dedicated to caring for there animals and there always healthy everytime i go there which i do go there almost everyday now since i got two chinese water dragons.
i persnally love pets mart i know the people who work there and i get lots of free things like leopard geckos,frogs,and anoles ........ :p i saw u at the reptile super show aguset 7 2010 i was that fat black kid in the line in front of u with my dad
@skunkapotamus haha a middle aged person sitting on youtube talking shit to random people lulz I'm sure sitting at home talking shit to teenagers over the internet is a great way to get laid.
i only get animals from petco/petsmart if there are sick animals or different morphs. right now there is a fire ball python that i might get and the leos are constantly coming in...but over all they treat all their animals like crap
@91shadowthehedgehog He already had them in this video and for sometime beforehand but unfortunately the dragon passed away shorty after this video was posted
i saw a beardie at one of the local petstore where i live and it was in horrable condition probably days away from death. I complained and bitched at the owner until he realized it was gonna die and then they just gave her to me. Now jade is thriving in my care. :)
I rescued a baby Leapord Gecko From Petsmart. Petsmart Puts about 10 Geckos in one 5 Gallon Tank, they throw crikets in the cage about 1 time every 3 days. The Bigger Geckos always eat them all, so the little ones usually starve. Please, if you do rescue an animal from petsmart, make sure you know alot about it, and give it everything it needs to live a long healthy life.
@StevieAndLife yeah i rescued a crestie from petco it was soooooo skinny its tail was very thing and swirly meaning it was dehydrated,apperantly it wasnt eating anything too.=(its very healthy and happy now and is eating fine=)i was going to get one from a breeder but when i saw it i felt so sorry for it.
sugar pie honey bun preechin to the choir about petsmart, we have caled coorprate about how poorly cared for the animals are and they did something about it here, they pay me to go in every week and check on them. Its nice, but of one is sick it goes home with me, and dont go back, i adopt out to people i know will love them,
Poor thing:( 3 years ago i wanted my first reptile so i bought a baby leopard gecko from petsmart he only lived 6 days after i got him he was all bones basically i could tell he was weak he wouldnt eat drink or do anything. since then i have not owned a reptile and probably never will. they interest me so much but i dont want that to happen again. good luck for your new addition
I got a bearded dragon at petco there's nothin wrong with him he's perfect:) but I went to a few diffrent petcos and petsmarts after I got him and I did see some pet stores that dident care for them good
My fiance and I have a water dragon and when we went to go get some mite killer for his tank from PetsMart we felt SO horrible for the dragons there. if we had the money we would've taken both of them back home. =/ When our dragon got a bug bite we went crazy hoping nothing was wrong. Thank you for trying and hopefully saving him. That's great.
ya i got a little corn snake from petsmart about a year and a half ago and it never really grew. It seems healthy and stuff it just didnt grow to the size that age corn snakes should be at.
i feel your pain. The first time i bought a green anole from the Petsmart it had a fungal infection. Then I returned it and got another one it also was infected. Yeah it went on and on. Poor things :'(
Also an employee of PetSmart (not PetsMart like your description says) and I'm sorry that you feel this way towards the company but your comments are very out of context. Please don't assume that we treat our animals this way because we don't. Just like TiaSchenewerk said the breeders we get them from may not be the best but we treat them like our own. I take time out of my own day to come in and help tame them by holding them and giving them love they deserve.

Yeah I was breeding anacondas at 2 years old, and had a college degree in every reptile thing ever by the time I was out of preschool. I traveled the world and discovered 200 new species of pythons during 3rd grade summer vacation.
I've been studying reptiles for 30 years.....and I'm only 20.
Yeah thats right, I'm way more of a reptile guy than you are.

I work for PetSmart, and yes I agree the breeding facilities we get our animals from are not the best and the company could find better. However, we treat all animals that come into our store as if they were are own, fish included. At my particular store we only have Reptiles and Fish. If any of them get sick they are immediately taken to the vet, and nurtured back to health at our store. Some make it others don't, we provide the same care as you would from home.

dang! thes comments are off the chart. I have this, I have that. colledge degrees at 20? Any 4 year old with a reptile better hope a responsable parent(s) are takin care of it. Witch was more than likely this case! Rather than argue, why not take some time to write down some educational facts and care guidelines for water dragons. Whitch leads me to my point. The average person is not educated enough to own any reptile. Or for that matter bird, fish, hamster, or anythin else available these days

@cavajason people think they know everything there is to know about that animal and will just go buy one, people don't do research, they don't even really appreciate the animals half the time, they just think it would be cool to have one or that they can impress their friends etc. I don't want to contribute to that kind of behavior, also this video is not about everyday care of a water dragon it is about caring for an animal whose condition is the result of neglect, and the steps to his recovery

I work at PetSmart in Petcare. It really all comes down to management. If a store doesn't have good management, then things can get shitty. Personally in our store, we take supreme care of our pets, probably better than what the future pet-parents will be willing to do. We also take all sick pets to the vet, spending whatever it cost to help them. After we adopt them out for free, and only to serious pet parents. Some stores are shit, that's the way it is, but not all for sure.

Where I live we get around 10-20 wild water dragons wandering into our yard every day, mostly just chilling by our pool. But my dog (who's usually calm) hates water dragons, there have been many times when I've gone out and found one dead in our yard. I'm trying to teach my dog not to hurt them and she's getting better, but I ended up paying for a fence to be built around my pool area so they could be a little more safe.....

Just because I have had my water dragon only for a few months, doesn't mean I haven't done my research. And I actually got my information from three different vet clinics that have a department specializing in reptile care, not from PetsMart employees. The dragon was sick due to change and there was no indication that he had any other illness. Even if you have so much experience, you shouldn't assume others are "morons" just because you feel you are more experienced.

We had our water dragon for a week or so and we noticed it didn't seem healthy. We took it back, told them we wanted the same one back and they admitted him to the instore vet. They held him for several weeks. When we got him home, he was much healthier. They said that the stress from the change in environment caused his illness which is normal in small creatures. He's about 8 months old, is healthy and happy now. PetsMart saved my dragon. I wouldn't have him now if it weren't for them.
ravyne82 1 year ago
@ravyne82 Haha ignorance is bliss, i could sit here and argue with you, or just plain make you look like a moron but the fact of the matter is you if anything just proved my point by saying you bought a sick water dragon from petsmart, and i didn't realize that buying a water dragon at petsmart, (most likely without having done any research and without knowing anything about the animal) then taking the stores advice for care and keeping it for 6 months made you an expert hmm...
cavajason 1 year ago
I guess my 16 years of keeping reptiles means nothing, because self richous know it alls who have 6 months of experience who take their advice from petsmart employees who know just as little as the person who is buying the animal.

Unfortunately every now and then a sick creature may be found at any pet store. However, PetsMart has a return policy and if the creature is sick and you return them, they will nurse the creature back to health at their instore vet. If you don't feel the need to use this service, then you only have yourself to blame. My question is, why did you have him in dry toilet paper? That is probably what dehydrated him in the first place. The habitat PetsMart has set up is the proper one for them.

My fiance and I have a water dragon and when we went to go get some mite killer for his tank from PetsMart we felt SO horrible for the dragons there. if we had the money we would've taken both of them back home. =/ When our dragon got a bug bite we went crazy hoping nothing was wrong. Thank you for trying and hopefully saving him. That's great.

i feel your pain. The first time i bought a green anole from the Petsmart it had a fungal infection. Then I returned it and got another one it also was infected. Yeah it went on and on. Poor things :'(
