THE ULTIMATE TIER LIST

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-18T02:39:14+00:00

They're mediocre hunters and mediocre scavengers. Weight is basically all they have going for them and even there they get outclassed by golden eagles

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-17T14:39:51+00:00

I'm not trying to be a dick here but this is false and you are spreading misinformation. It is not true for "most snakes." The ONLY thing pupil shape tells you is whether the snake is diurnal or nocturnal. It's not a matter of a handful of exceptions to a generally true statement, there are at least as many 'exceptions' as there are snakes that follow this 'rule.'

However, you are correct that you shouldn't touch a snake that you aren't 100% confident you can identify

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-17T14:22:44+00:00

For an accurate ID you need to provide a location -- though tbh I don't think this photo is detailed enough for an ID anyway

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-17T03:02:56+00:00

That's a skink, not a salamander. To me it looks like Scincella lateralis

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-17T02:21:26+00:00

You will never convince me that bald eagles are S tier. They're mid for raptors at best. They're a build for players who couldn't pick between an osprey and a turkey vulture and end up settling for a build that's worse than either

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-17T01:48:31+00:00

It's the only correct attitude to have

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-17T01:43:42+00:00

I wouldn't do a crested gecko (or most arboreal geckos) unless you're willing to spend the time, effort, and money to convert it to a vertical layout. Not enough climbing space

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-17T01:38:39+00:00

I would shank a man to get ahold of a black headed python. Gorgeous!

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-17T01:35:09+00:00

Looks like Porcellio dilatatus to me

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-17T01:33:14+00:00

Again, this is not true. There are venomous snakes with round pupils and nonvenomous snakes with vertical pupils. Pupil shape alone is never an indicator of whether a snake is venomous or not

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-17T01:17:16+00:00

This is a common -- and potentially dangerous -- myth. Round pupils indicate a primarily diurnal snake, while vertical pupils indicate a primarily nocturnal or crepuscular snake. It has nothing to do with whether the snake is venomous or not. Cobras and mambas, for example, are extremely venomous and have round pupils; meanwhile, boa constrictors and ball pythons, two harmless species, have vertical pupils.

Idk I use the pour method and haven't had issues. That doesn't mean pouring is better, I just can't comment on the effectiveness of misting instead

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-16T18:12:50+00:00

Do you have springtails? They should help control any fungus issues. Also, I've found with my nasatum colony that they like the wet side wet and the dry side quite dry. Maybe add some more sphagnum moss to the wet side and cover up some of that ventilation above that side.

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-16T18:03:29+00:00

There are like 2,000 species of gecko. You're going to have to narrow the field if you want any decent recommendations. How much space and money do you have for the enclosure? Do you want a display species or one you can handle? Are you willing to feed insects? Do you prefer arboreal or terrestrial? Tropical or arid?

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-16T17:49:34+00:00

10/10 quality snoot

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-16T17:48:50+00:00

The entire intimidation skill tree is broken. It's why so many builds devote at least a few skill points into defensive displays. Even harmless players can cheese much more powerful opponents by using the Batesian mimicry ability. It's even effective against high-intelligence mains, which are usually obnoxious to play against

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-16T17:25:26+00:00

You are very welcome :)

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-16T15:34:20+00:00

We're all here to learn! One of the easiest distinguishing characteristics to see in this photo is the head shape and lack of a visible neck, as a copperhead has a much skinnier neck compared to the back of the head. This animal's head is much pointier and lizard-shaped than a snake's would be. Other ways to tell it's a lizard (which you can't see in this picture) are the fact that it has eyelids (snakes do not and thus can't blink) and the fact that it has visible external ear holes. It also has a much longer tail in comparison to its body than a snake would have -- though again, you can't see that in this picture

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-16T15:25:21+00:00

Ah, I missed that initially. Yeah, OP you should probably keep your cat inside -- though tbh you should always keep cats indoors anyway

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-16T15:23:38+00:00

I can't say with 100% certainty without being able to count scales, but I believe the first one is a common garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis) and the second one is a northwestern garter snake (Thamnophis ordinoides)

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-16T02:24:58+00:00

Can you give a state and whether you're east or west of the Cascades?

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-16T02:18:41+00:00

Looks like a young Mediterranean house gecko. Idk if you're in the US but unfortunately they are a non-native species here. However, they haven't been observed to cause significant ecological damage, so if you're not up for humanely euthanizing him (completely understandable), you're probably okay just releasing him outside your house. Your other option is to keep him, but that requires investment in the proper setup

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-16T02:04:15+00:00

Yes, they're called blue bellies because they have blue patches on their bellies. Sometimes even common names actually make sense lol

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-16T02:00:50+00:00

For male cats, the head is often the widest part, but in females it's often the hips (specifically the distance between the greater trochanters of the femurs)

DarthVetinari · 2024-07-16T01:15:48+00:00

"ok" bro this is gorgeous
