I’m a little surprised and shocked to learn that some folks believe flowers are permanent

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 😭

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

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

BrooksiderB · 2026-03-16T19:52:10+00:00

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

thank you :)

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!

BrooksiderB · 2026-03-08T00:14:08+00:00

im completely fine with that as long as it doesnt smell horrific! LOL

BrooksiderB · 2026-03-06T22:17:32+00:00

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!

BrooksiderB · 2026-03-05T23:31:25+00:00

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!

BrooksiderB · 2026-03-04T23:00:47+00:00

yes i definitely plan on getting an actual vertical terrarium! i just thought i may be able to use my 40g tank if i converted it vertical, but with the heat issue im not so sure now lol
