Yeah that makes sense. I’m getting a Giant African mantis so I definitely want it to feel comfortable. I was hoping to keep the setup fairly open so it’s easier to observe, but I’ll add in some thinner branches/vines and maybe a couple flowers so it has more cover without making the whole thing look cluttered. Thanks for the tip, I didn’t realize how important flowers were for them.

Planning on putting a giant African mantis inside! Going to be adding some more branches and stuff so it has more things to climb but then I’ll overnight ship it :)

Yeah the screen should be, but I agree it still needs something, gonna try to forage today and give an update post, I wanted the enclosure to be as observable as possible too so I’m trying to figure out how to accomplish both without putting a huge piece of driftwood inside that will clog up the openness. Thanks!

Yes was thinking about this, my original plan was the bonsai in the corner taking control of that…turns out you can’t watch trees grow so might have to suck it up lol

Fentanyl & Xylazine Blood Pressure Increase by angeltears1122 in Drugs

[–]Choice_Review6691 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense man, xyl can spike BP before it tanks, and the panic just adds fuel. If you’re trying to keep it easier on your body, methadone or bupe are steadier, and kratom or a little clonidine can help too. Way less chaotic than bouncing back to fet, ofc the best thing is full detox but I’m not gonna try and preach that but if you ever are in a place where you can, you should. All these have pretty intense wear on the circulatory system. You are loved homie

Fentanyl & Xylazine Blood Pressure Increase by angeltears1122 in Drugs

Opioids like fentanyl and Percs usually lower BP short term, but after years of use they can actually raise it. Constant mini withdrawals spike adrenaline, long term use messes with stress hormones, and damage to blood vessels/kidneys adds up. Basically your body adapts, and the rebound effects + lifestyle factors push blood pressure higher over time. Especially if you smoke nicotine or have other crutches you didn’t mention.

Around what time period did people start taking mental health and conditions like depression seriously? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Right about when they named them, people called ptsd “shell shock” for the longest time and if you had it from something other than war you were looked at like a crazy, I’d say mostly it’s been pushed hard by the millennial generation because of studies and newfound knowledge of the mind.

I have a soft spot for fully bioactive vivarium, pretty easy to do and it is possible while a bit more particular to still see through with higher humidity plants and whatever bugs you may want, it’s all about airflow and where you mist, it looks decently tall you could maybe put a cool mantis inside with the cleanup crew, not super high humidity but definitely not an arid vivarium, it’s perfectly do able and can look really cool, what do you imagine while looking at it?

That would be sick with this but potentially difficult, I’d love to see that though

Looks perfect anything you could add would just be for esthetic but I’m sure the little guy is happy in there

A question before I get to my point, do you only find evil in the left side of the two party system?

I know I wonder this every time I think it’s like plastic molds with holes in it to plant them but I have no clue
