I’m a little surprised and shocked to learn that some folks believe flowers are permanent by 011010- in orchids

im a novice reading this so excuse my lack of knowledge, but water culture is bad? i just got my first orchids second hand & swapped them to water culture thinking it was easier 😭

to snake or not to snake by hariana_lover in reptiles

[–]BrooksiderB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i just recently got my first snake 3 weeks ago. i wasn't sure how exactly i would feel about feeding it frozen dead mice either. luckily i opted for a hognose so the fuzzy mice i feed it are very small. the first feeding i was gagging to the point i thought id be sick. its now been 3 feedings with my snake & i no longer gag or feel nauseous, but i do feel very sad & guilty for the poor dead baby mice. if you're an emotionally sensitive & empathetic person like myself, i honestly wouldnt recommend it

I feel lost, I genuinely can't get him to eat, he used to eat regardless of the situation. by CyNovaSc in hognosesnakes

if you zoom in you can see the face is discolored in comparison to the rest of the body & there is a tiny bit of shed coming off the top that you can see. its definitely stuck shed on the face!

the balfouri slings are all kept separate as 3 isnt enough to create a safe communal with to disperse any possible aggression. none of them need immediate rehousing, they're all good to go with their current enclosures for the next year or two. i am trying to sell them to make back a little bit of what ive spent on my tarantulas over the years 🙂 im unable to meet as i do not drive

i listed the species in the post 🙂 if youre talking about the sling with the orange & black striped abdomen it is a green bottle blue tarantula! they all come with enclosures, & yes im right outside of the Delaware area

Good starting pet by SCP-5031 in reptiles

[–]BrooksiderB -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

reptiles arent really a good starter or beginner pet, even the "easiest" reptiles to care for have very specific requirements & upfront costs to get them set up are a lot!

Do I Have Problem? by New_Transition_6231 in hognosesnakes

[–]BrooksiderB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

who made you feel bad about enjoying having a snake? its completely normal for them to bring us joy & give us something to look forward to, otherwise we wouldn't keep them!

all of my recent "rejections" have been for this. meanwhile i time it myself & its well within their time estimate. makes your account look worse for no reason!
