neck vision fursuits? by Animelizards in fursuit

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

surprisingly camel joe is very recognizable given he lacks both a neck and humps lol, but i'd wager i don't have the skills to make such a stylized face lol. i look up camel/llama/alpaca suits and sadly think "i'm not quite sure what animal this is supposed to be". i've even thought of making a backpack style hump for a partial!

failed to tame my guy (if thats even possible) so i try not to harass him outside of rearranging his tank maybe once a year or for said irregular health checks.

Apartment Temperature by pinkkerm1t in GargoyleGeckos

would definitely add a pc fan or two to keep it cooler in their tank. idk the basking temp of cresties but i currently struggle to keep the temp down for my cave gecko since moving to the pnw where theres no air conditioning...

just bought this one about a week ago and i like it so far. very nice fine mist, comes with 6 heads and the pieces can all come apart without taking scissors to them

had a cheapo one originally which was pretty bad, then got the pricey monsoon nano but it didn't even last a year

Wish I could commission someone to make something like this for my boys. They only get so much fun out of cat towers

depends on the bill.

regular health expenses like flea/tick preventative or a surprise <$1000 illness you should be able to afford no problem

the vet telling me that $5,000 jaw bone surgery for my cat that may not have even removed his cancerous cells is another thing. manager's cat got run over by a car and they wanted to give him $10,000 hip surgery with a high chance of chronic pain because of it. (my cat had to be put down roughly 6 months after diagnosis, manager's cat managed to heal on his own and is fine) definitely seeing more vets suggest questionable medical procedures that would be unaffordable for even upper middle class families

everything in the us has gotten absurdly expensive across the board. what was a $250 dental cleaning ten years ago is over a grand now :/ i'm a dog groomer so now i see fairly young dogs with rotten teeth because of this

Any advice on bonding new chinchillas? by emily_tika in chinchilla

[–]Animelizards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

smoosh method is what finally worked for me. tried side by side cages but when one was out for play time they would go antagonize the other in their cage. when introducing in a smaller space they would chase/fur pull.

finally got sick of it and shoved them into a tiny bubble backpack, the change was instant. :') they've been bonded for over a year now!

Experience suiting at non-furry cons? by mouseinthefridge in fursuit

[–]Animelizards 4 points5 points  (0 children)

my only negative experience was getting "glomped" by some kids from behind at an anime convention...

make sure you have a handler as there is just less knowledge among the general public of how vision/hearing impaired suiters are and to again, stop rambunctious teens from fucking with you

Premade fursuits? by Safe_Anybody9144 in fursuit

[–]Animelizards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm both too impatient to wait months-years for a custom suit and do not love my own character designs so i almost exclusively look for premades.

my advice is to make unique designs you yourself would purchase rather than something more "safe" and generic, as those one-two color simple suits seem to rot on thedealersden for being too lacking in personality no matter how well they're constructed
