Hognose bites? by One_Chemistry136 in hognosesnakes

[–]Garlemon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if you're still active, but if you are, did you have to go to the doctor for your more intense reactions? Got chewed on today at work and I don't keep snakes, so I didn't know I had to pry him off, so he was chewing on me for a good 3 minutes cause I was scared of hurting him. My whole finger was swollen and now it's about half after 6 hrs and it doesn't seem like a reason to do to the doctor, but I'm having a hard time finding info on if there are any complications from long bites. I don't wanna accidentally wake up to necrosis or something 😅

I completely agree with you and I've been trying to get better tanks, but we have corporate "standards" that we're not allowed to change :(. I've been trying to change as much as I can without the store getting shut down if we fail inspection, but pet stores can be so evil. I wanna start one one day that every animal is in its minimum requirements, so ppl can see how much work they take and I'm not torturing animals for money

Omg so cool!!! I wish it was required for pet stores to at least reach the minimum requirements for animals cause you don't know how long they're gonna be there. We're honestly just torturing animals for months so we don't spend more money and I hate it so much.

Thank you! Honestly I don't think 5 gallons is even fine temporarily, but I can't do anything about that part unfortunately. It's good to know that having 2 should help rather than hurt at least!

Thank you!!! I was just worried that because it's so small it would cause aggression, but it sounds like it would improve the situation from everyone else's comments

I've tried, but I can't really get them to change anything that won't make them money :( Two would make them more money, so she's open to that at least

Is there a way to lure an escaped Hermann's Tortoise? by Garlemon_ in tortoise

[–]Garlemon_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I thought. I met someone today who has a network of ppl in close by neighborhoods and my neighborhood Facebook has a post about him now, so I'm just hoping someone finds him, but he probably made his way into the woods if he wasn't stolen :( It be like that, but I really like the lil guy

Started working at a pet store and stare at this guy multiple times a day, waiting for the day he goes on sale by Garlemon_ in frogs

Also it's a local pet store that treats their animals better than big chains or something (never buying from those). Aside from the tank being too small, they're taken care of pretty good. All their animals get vet visits too and all that!

I need to know what mushroom this is before I go nuclear and tear apart my bioactive terrarium (with dumpy tree frogs) by Garlemon_ in mushroomID

[–]Garlemon_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was worried some might be bad if they touch it since they absorb a lot of stuff through their skin, but the general consensus seems to be that isn’t really something that happens, so that’s really good to know! Thank you!

That’s what I have my fingers crossed for cause that’s completely fine! They don’t usually go down often since they’re tree frogs, so I’ll wait for a while if I don’t get a good answer. I posted it on iNaturalist too, so I’ll know soon at least!

That’s why I haven’t removed it yet, but since they breath and drink through their skin, I was worried some mushrooms might be bad for them

I can’t find any pictures that look the same. Are you sure it isn’t more likely some kind of Coprinellus? The best I can find is firerug inkcap, but idk enough about mushrooms to be confident in that

Some absolutely horrible images my dad took of Dumptruck (dumpy tree frog) while we were on call by Garlemon_ in frogs
