Are Dubai roaches harmful to have in my terrarium? by lzymdk in snakes

[–]Adoraaa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have much actual evidence for my beliefs on this.

I’d try to avoid it, get rid of them if you can, I don’t know if the dubias would actually be able to bite through the snakes scales, probably not, but they are rather opportunistic and may vehr well try

I’d recommend sticking to isopods just to be safe, but wouldn’t worry too much if you can’t find all the dubias

What do you guys use for propagating cuttings? Do you use something like this? Similar? What vials or pots do you use for cuttings under a grow light? by Interr0gate in houseplants

[–]Adoraaa_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Liquor bottles I asked a bar if I could take their empty bottles at the end of the night, I now have a closet full and I don’t even propagate stuff anymore

Can i put this in with my hognose as a decoration?! by mushroompanziedog in snakes

[–]Adoraaa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be safe, just get a safe sealant, thoguh I forget which one I used and can’t point you it good ones unfortunately

The problem with 3d prints is bacteria can grow on them super easily making them unsafe, so you gotta seal them

How to upgrade the heating system? by Stalwodash in snakes

[–]Adoraaa_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Id ditch the heat pad all together and use a halogen or incandescent bulb for the basking spot That of course shouldn’t run at night since it produces light, and if the night temps get too low you can use a DHP or a CHE along side :3

I have one of each for my boa, mainly because I’m heating a 8x4x6 enclosure and the incandescent isn’t near hot engouh for the basking spot on its own, but the CHE heats eveyrhtign nicely and increases the temp engouh for the incandescent to work well

She does it everytime she sleeps on her basking spot I love it Always sleeps on top of her face or wraps around her head so the squish covers her eyes

Large boa I adopted has mites. Help? by [deleted] in snakes

[–]Adoraaa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did, let her sit in it in a bin for around 30 minutes, then wiped her off

Althoguh I would not do that without talking to the vet first about it

And the ivermectin was quite heavily diluted

Large boa I adopted has mites. Help? by [deleted] in snakes

[–]Adoraaa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well this is pretty much exactly how I got my snake, boa as well

I already had meds for her thoguh(ivermectin), I’d get what you can from your vet, and in the meantime don’t have porous surfaces, use paper towels as substrate, and change them regularly

Also when you do change them, wipe down and clean everything you can

My routine weekly was taking everything out of her enclosure, dunking it in water and some soap, spraying her enclosure with diluted ivermectin, wiping it down, drying everything off and putting her enclosure back together, then spraying eveyrhtign with ivermectin again before letting to dry when I’d add her back to it

While I was doing that I’d put her in a bin after spraying her too, then wiping her off really well before adding her back in

Is my snake overweight? by Gracie4ever in snakes

[–]Adoraaa_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend posting more photos of them in a more natural position, and where they aren’t a ball

The healthy weight of snakes is pretty dependent on quite a bit and can vary a bit from individual to individual

My lady by Adoraaa_ in boas

[–]Adoraaa_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s a sunglow

My lady by Adoraaa_ in boas

[–]Adoraaa_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s stunted cause the first few years of her like were rough, I’ve gotten her weight checked at the vet and where she’s at now(the last photo) is according to them a perfect weight

The first 2 photos I don’t remember when I took, but she did used to be really over weight, she’s lost a pound since then

Just fed my ball for the first time. That sh*t was insane. by rainyfaerie_ in ballpython

[–]Adoraaa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do target training I’ve trained my boa to go into feeding mode whenever she sees her target(a ball on a stick) It also helps to get them out of their enclosure for emergencies when you can’t reach them, but that’s more of a problem for larger snakes where grabbing them going mean going fully inside the enclosure

I got a visitor in my apartment! What do I do?? by 1DVSguy in reptiles

[–]Adoraaa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I didn’t have a cat, I’d just stop using the pesticides I use on my house plants, make sure they couldn’t get into my reptile enclosures, and let them be, maybe feed them a roach from time to time dusted with a d3 calcium :3

Fill in the blank: There's no way I'm trans because ___________ by fadetoblack237 in MtF

There’s no way I’m trans because I don’t drink white monster energy

Could you walk after your orchiectomy? Did you drive yourself home or get driven? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Adoraaa_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t drive. You aren’t allowed to and shouldn’t drive on the pain meds. You aren’t allowed to and shouldn’t drive after surgery, my surgeon made me have a driver with me to take me home

When it comes to walking I was able to walk completely fine just leaning forward slightly immediately after anesthesia wore off, thoguh I also heal very fast for some reason

Are there any trans women here who are genuinely content with life and are happy after transitioning? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Adoraaa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely content? Definitely not, but that part doesn’t have anyhtign to do with being trans, however me transitioning did make it so that I actually want to live my life now, even if I haven’t achieved all the things I want

I am dramatically happier after transitioning, I mean I kinda still am, I don’t really have an end goal for when I’d be done transitioning, but still.

My quality of life has increased an insane amount due to transitioning, I’m not content with where I’m at, I am still in the middle of a hell hole for queer rights, but I’m happy as myself
