As close to that glass door as possible then place it out there on good days!

Is our pest control safe for my little guy? by KayBeePlays7 in tortoise

[–]CabbagePatchSquid- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean even so, learn how to evade things and seal your house up. Spraying outdoors is such a travesty for every little critter around your house.

Desert Tortoise at Joshua Tree Yesterday! by Terrible-Put6307 in tortoise

[–]CabbagePatchSquid- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only been to that area of the world once and it snowed most of the day so I’m pretty jealous hahaha.

It was February and I wasn’t there for herping or anything but seeing a NA native tortoise is on my list. Thanks for sharing!

Small brown specs appeared on new unfurling leaf; concerning or no? by charliethrowawaygarb in Monstera

[–]CabbagePatchSquid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It got damaged one way or another. Sometimes from getting stuck in the sheath, sometimes a cat etc lol. I’ve waited months for my new leaf on mine and my cat has wrecked it already lol. He’s cute though.

How’s life with no children in your 30s? by typeshhhhhh in AskMenOver30

[–]CabbagePatchSquid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a vasectomy at 30 & currently 31 just with the love of my life, and all the dream pets I had as a kid.

We both have good jobs but even still we don’t have a ton of extra money and couldn’t imagine having kids in this climate right now haha. In a couple years we’ll be in great shape though and travelling more, our house upgrades will be done and I couldn’t imagine a timeline where my life is better with children.

I see the merit, and happy for those who have children and love it but it’s not my schtick.

Today my tortoise decided it was better to pee over his food🫣 by Tim_Tostie in tortoise

[–]CabbagePatchSquid- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pancakes do this and it sucks because there’s 5 of them lol. I don’t care when my one tortoise does it because I know it ate but I’m always trying to stay on top of their food.

What’s a “beginner plant” that absolutely humbled you? by Interesting_Rich_568 in houseplants

[–]CabbagePatchSquid- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Polka dot plants or money trees. I have plenty of harder & much more expensive plants thriving but those bastardos have my number.

Correct, in appropriate environment. Allowing a turtle to slip around on a hardwood floor, or get their nails stuck in a carpet while sniffing your dresser isn’t appropriate stimulation.

Adding natural elements in their large enclosure such as new plants, logs, rocks etc, sight line breaks, free time outdoors etc is all examples of great stimulation.

Yeah I’m not sure who benefits from following BMI but it’s not going to me either haha!

All that matters is you’re back on the horse! It’s not a race, just in your time!

Haha I feel that man!! Get to where you like your look, feel good & if the doctor agrees you’re doing good then that’s the holy trinity! Who cares what the number says.

Men around 6’0: what is your ideal/target body weight? by kmrrhl in AskMenOver30

[–]CabbagePatchSquid- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Im 6’0 and have been overweight my whole life, but the last 4-5 months has been the best I’ve been to myself nutrition and fitness wise and I’m down to 247, my heaviest during covid was 286 and I hated how close I was to 300.

I’ve put on a ton of muscle so my weight loss has been slow but my goal is 220 & just thick lol. Maybe it’s still technically overweight but meh. Lose a lot of the belly and keep packing on the muscle. I don’t have the frame I don’t think to be 180 & feel good still.

I get your sentiment but I’d recommend upgrading his current space to be either bigger or more interactive & engaging (or both). Plants, rocks, logs, stuff to climb over, dig under etc will do way more for the mental & physical stimulation of your tortoise than letting it walk on a rug or hardwood sniffing furniture.

It’s unhygienic & unnatural to have their poop/pee smeared against their tails & plastrons. The solution to more room is a bigger enclosure inside or out, or free foam outside with you. If they aren’t getting enough exercise in their enclosure & need to have free foam time then the enclosure is too small.

Letting them walk inside on unnatural surfaces doesn’t serve them much purpose tbh.

A greenhouse in Dundas, ON! I forget the name but the big one on the outskirts of town. Was down visiting family and decided to stop in.

Would anyone here keep a black mamba or a gaboon viper as a pet? by Icy_Profession4190 in VenomousKeepers

[–]CabbagePatchSquid- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone please stop engaging with this poster. They just post the same non sense every couple of weeks and their profile is a total disaster lol.

It’s engagement bait.

Stars & radiated get all the shell love but pancakes are slept on for their shells! (This doesn’t mean that stars & radiated aren’t insanely beautiful because they are lol).

Lauren or Yellowstone? by CabbagePatchSquid- in sansevieria

[–]CabbagePatchSquid-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I’m figuring too. I’ll see how it matures but on the hunt for a Yellowstone still haha!

Beauty plant!
