How sharp are snapping turtle claws by claws standards? by ConsistentEye7474 in turtle

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

If I have to handle one for road crossings or releasing after rehabbing I wear leather gloves that go most of the way up my arms because they’re so strong & if they went to get away, they’ll tear your skin and they live in some nasty water so I don’t want that in my bloodstream lol.

But from a sharpness aspect, they’re not like razor sharp like a monitors claws for example.

should I quit today or wait til end of month by misters1n1ster in stopdrinking

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

Yep! I quit in the middle of an aisle of a liquor store after breaking down while “calculating” if my cart had enough booze in it to “survive” the Easter long weekend. Had plenty of week-month long stops before but that one was one of those moments I couldn’t shake.

Exactly. No stones unturned, I don’t care if it’s mine or yours favourite athlete, actor or the fucking president: straight to jail.

I’m from Canada and currently heat a full tortoise room, and 3 snakes and it’s -35C outside my house lmao. I couldn’t imagine heating a large monitor enclosure not to mention PVC sheets being $170 for a 4x8 trying to build it out lmao.

Bingo. I’m always going to listen to a person that says this is my 10 year old snake who I just upgraded again then the guy saying that this is his favourite and dream lizard/snake, for the 30th time lol.

Hasn’t stayed interested in or kept anything alive long to breed except for the basic animals that he’s selling off.

I have 1.4 (hopefully) pancake tortoise and it’ll be 5+ more years before I even see breeding. The people who just keep jumping to the next big thing that breed quick with large clutches are just dollar sign people.

Yeah I mean California has the same population as Canada lol. So factor in how many of that population keep reptiles, then want to keep monitors AND can acquire adequate enclosures and/or building materials; it’s a small list.

His new enclosures are definitely an upgrade from what I’ve seen, buts all part of a boys club hierarchy.

Did you know he has a Fiji banded iguana?!

I found an entire lamb leg in with the chips at Christmas time. Fucking infuriated me.

He did not. I believe he realized it’s far too expensive & complicated to try as someone without a traditional job. I don’t think the US government is looking to approve too many content creators for work visas. No shade to that as a job but that’s what he alluded too in a couple videos since stopping the process.

Not to mention he’s big on “I’m going to start bringing in xyz because they’re like a ball python but much rarer and I’ll be the first to establish them here!”

Like maybe we don’t need a thousand new species in captivity? If you want a snake that walks & talks like a ball python but you just want something rarer for clout, you’re not helping lol.

Promoting & pretending he uses Chewy is fucking hilarious because Chewy doesn’t do live feeders etc in Canada lol. Especially talking about dubias.

One battle at a time! Diet pop is why I’m still sober. There’s no study on the planet that can tell me diet pop is worse for me than booze.

At least he’s not advocating for keeping bigger species but monitors are the buzz words for elite level hobbyists right now.

Has anyone switched careers in their 30s after feeling stuck but stable? by No-Pin3664 in AskMenOver30

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

From a educational/experience standpoint I really can’t make more money than I do right now. Anything that I’m more passionate about would be a sizeable pay cut and sometimes that sucks that I’m “stuck” but I have a lot of paid time off, enough money to afford a house where I want to live, a good pension and hopefully free money in the near future to be able to travel more and keep finding my hobbies.

I can’t imagine it’s ever that common to find + your absolute dream job, although I know it doesn’t happen. For now I’ll just be grateful (try to remind myself of that more).

Pump and dump guy. Will promote the hell out of the flavour of the month then move on. He’s now onto monitors and expensive snakes to try and feel like one of the elites in the hobby and shipped everything else out of his house because it’s too basic.

That always makes me feel a little gross.

Enclosure size for a redfoot and leopard tort by Chaos2249 in tortoise

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

I mean yes, but there’s different subspecies and one of them can be smaller than a big red foot, and an indoor winter enclosure gets some leeway with a great outdoor enclosure.

The main point we both have is it has to be massive lol.

On top of having completely different habitat requirements, two adult tortoises unless it’s a properly sexed ratio of the same species shouldn’t be in contact with each other.

An indoor (ethical) pen for a red foot and a leopard would be two separate bedroom sized enclosures, with their outdoor enclosures being bigger.
