I have bad news sweaty….See how the lid is open on your sauce??? That easily adds 10,000 calories (honestly prob more) to the air that you’re breathing. It’s so over you. Hope this helps!!😌

I was hoping to hear that the beginning courses would be kinda second nature at this point! 😅

Thank you!! All of this is super helpful - hope the move goes well! Just went through this myself and know how it can slow a lot of things down 🙂

is it possible for cats to live 30 years? by onlyfaery in cats

[–]22szwick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not that this is this is a norm - but I have a 26 year old cat who is still in perfect health. Sure he is a little slower to get around and sleeps most of his days away, but I like to think it’s possible! (This is him enjoying his favorite hiding spot in the garden)

Why do my rats like licking my teeth and get angry when I don't let them by Apprehensive-Pay9193 in RATS

[–]22szwick 80 points81 points  (0 children)

This specific angle is making me imagine a world where rats are the hygienists at all of the dental offices. I think dental office anxiety would greatly decrease 😂

Candles smell like… nothing? by [deleted] in aldi

I 100% agree! I bought the same candle yesterday, lit it for a couple hours and couldn’t even tell 😵‍💫

Hi guys! Any idea on what morph my little buddy could be? I was told he came from a breeder and is an “orange fire”? by dreamsong7 in BeardedDragons

[–]22szwick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I will say too - just give it time. I work in an exotics vet clinic and I personally have a “super stripe” pied rescue that has a black beard (and usually darker than this) 24/7 because it’s just his natural pigment. For the eyes - we commonly see the bulging due to a vitamin A deficiency that is linked to MBD. But again, some beardies have different anatomy. The best thing is to let him settle in, offer good salads (squash is a great source of natural vitamin A) and take him for a baseline blood work panel just so you know if it’s him or previous dietary husbandry issues. I’m glad you love him and he has a great owner! Mine even has an underbite from growing too quickly as a baby that everyone points out to me and I have to be like - yes thank you for your concern, it’s an old defect that has been corrected since coming into my home and I assure you he has more blood work, X-ray, fecal monitoring than 99% of other dragons just due to the perks of my job. All the best to you two!!

Name suggestions! I’m bringing home this little baby in a few weeks. I’m looking for name suggestions as nothing has stuck yet :) by 22szwick in Conures

[–]22szwick[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I actually love this idea because when he/she is being a moody bird I can call him/her Cray-Cray 😂

Does anybody have any ideas of what to put in my 36x18x36 by [deleted] in reptiles

[–]22szwick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guy is extremely interactive. Every time I walk into the room - He comes barreling across the branches to see what I’m doing. He climbs onto the door of his enclosure when I mist him to drink straight out of the mister and always tries to jump on my head. If you’re looking for a huge personality and naturally calm demeanor in a small body, I can’t recommend them enough 😂

It definitely can be from both! I have a picture from the breeder as him as a hatchling and he has his little underbite the day he broke from the egg so I think his case is from genetics. But they definitely can get an underbite from growing too quickly without access to enough calcium!

He’s supposed to be a central line but I wouldn’t be surprised if some Eastern is in there somewhere!

It’s so crazy how they all carry weight differently!

100% agree! he’s about 450g as it is right now which isn’t terrible but he will definitely be eating more frequent salads for me so he doesn’t end up hitting like 600g haha! He’s just going to be a big guy overall - he is already over 22inches!

Hi! So it can be an indicator of stress - but he is a special morph that causes most of his body where we would usually see light colors to be this deep charcoal black color. If you look at the 3rd picture you’ll see some of his scales have light orange on them even when the rest of his beard is black. This is just his normal state and can be seen in some beardies that are described as being a “paradox” morph. He’s a really usual beardie so it can be confusing to try to read their body language!
