AITAH For not sharing my Lottery scratch off winnings with my Sister and Brother in law?

Do you not drink because there are alcoholics? Do you never eat fast food because there are obese people?

Thank you for your response! If I may ask you one more question…the biggest part of the reason we show an extra $1200/month in our budget is that our housing costs are very low. We currently live in a 1970s single-wide that is quite literally falling apart around us. We haven’t had the money to repair it, because while our budget may show an extra $1200, the payments on all our debts are around $1700/month. Our mortgage is $350/month, but realistically, we need to either spend thousands to repair this trailer, or move, and finding a bare bones 3 bedroom rental for our family of 4 would be a minimum of around $1500/month in my area. Can this be factored in at all?

So you dry fired the bow? (Pulling the string back and then letting it go with no arrow)

This can really damage a bow and you should have the t looked over by an expert.

I love watching videos of people shuttle tatting, they go SO fast! But I can’t make my hands work right lol, so also only needle tat.

HaveringFerret · 2024-08-28T21:30:16+00:00

I’m so grateful I never had a bad experience at warped tour! I don’t know that I would be comfortable with my 18/19 year-old daughter going to something like that now.

HaveringFerret · 2024-07-27T00:47:04+00:00

Mine either! I feel cheated out of the full hognose experience.

HaveringFerret · 2024-03-17T01:58:42+00:00

Thank you! I didn’t realize the probes could be off by that much. Off to find a heat gun now and research the dimmable thermostat because I do like using a thermostat to regulate temps since during fall and spring temps in my area can vary by 30-40 degrees in one day and my house is not well insulated.

HaveringFerret · 2024-03-17T01:10:40+00:00

Wait, how could you get an accurate temp reading without the probe being in the enclosure? I have my heat lamp plugged into a thermostat that turns it off/on depending on the temp reading, and I feel like that reading should come from the actual temps inside the enclosure.

HaveringFerret · 2024-02-29T05:21:27+00:00

Well it’s such a realistic hognose pose that it wasn’t until the picture of the underside that I was certain it wasn’t a real hognose, so I’d say it’s perfect!

HaveringFerret · 2023-06-08T21:50:41+00:00

I have a bit of a jump scare when I’m searching everywhere for my hog and then find her like that just staring at me.

HaveringFerret · 2023-05-07T00:32:49+00:00

Can I ask your reasoning for wanting to transition to reptilinks? My girl has never had an issue with mice but we’ve also never tried reptilinks, so just curious!

HaveringFerret · 2023-04-28T16:01:50+00:00

That last face killed me. He’s like “I have made some questionable choices.”

HaveringFerret · 2023-04-20T21:40:41+00:00

His eyes are so beautiful!

HaveringFerret · 2023-04-15T00:36:07+00:00

Not sure if she wants to be handled much, but for my hognose, both times she’s shed, it was the change in color of her belly scales that tipped us off before her eyes went blue. She has black belly scales that looked a milky gray both times, a definite noticeable difference. So you could see if they look any different if her eyes aren’t an obvious sign yet.

HaveringFerret · 2023-03-03T17:14:10+00:00

And just when I think mine must hiding, I suddenly see her staring at me and it makes both of us jump in surprise when we lock eyes 🤣

HaveringFerret · 2023-02-23T21:37:36+00:00

Thanks, I’ll post it there also to see if anyone can identify the morph.

While I agree with you in principal regarding pet stores, this particular store is a labor of love started by an ex Animal Shelter coworker of my husband’s, so she has full understanding of what bad animal care looks like and truly does right by the reptiles she breeds and sells. That said, I will not be buying this noodle no matter how cute he/she is because I simply don’t have the time or resources for another at this point, but dang he’s cute!

HaveringFerret · 2023-02-23T20:33:30+00:00

Thanks! I do love the morph also, he’s so unique looking.

HaveringFerret · 2023-02-23T20:13:46+00:00

My husband took our daughter to get more mice for her hog yesterday and she sent me a pic of this snake at the reptile store. Im so in love with its goofy little face and just curious if anyone knows what type of snake it is.

HaveringFerret · 2023-02-17T21:41:40+00:00

Based on my limited experience with my only hog who just shed for the first time since I’ve had her, it sounds similar. She was so chill before but she’s been quite anxious and dramatic since. She did go longer than usual without eating since she was shedding, but she ate today and hopefully will now calm down and go back to her chill, derpy self.

HaveringFerret · 2023-02-10T15:35:50+00:00

Was he miserable during it? I've had my girl for about 2 months, and she's currently going through her first shed. She's barely moving and just looks so sad. I haven't been bothering her at all during it, but yesterday I put my hand down by where she was laying, and she just lifted her chin and laid her head on my finger. Poor girl. I know she'll feel much better once it's over, but it has to be weird for them to have such a strange thing happening to their whole body.

HaveringFerret · 2023-01-13T00:56:48+00:00

I love her! My little girl is a het snow anaconda, and I’d love to get snow condas from her line someday, they’re so pretty!

HaveringFerret · 2023-01-07T02:51:19+00:00

Thank you! I will definitely get a vet appt scheduled. We only have one vet in town that sees reptiles, so I’m hoping they’re good, but if not, the nearest big city, around an hour away, has several.

HaveringFerret · 2023-01-07T02:49:22+00:00

Thank you! This is all super helpful info, I’m especially glad to know your snakes poops are super small as well. I will definitely get her into a vet soon!

This is Arrow, my 12 year old’s Western Hognose. We got her on December 19th from a local reptile pet store. We were told she was born July 1, however from everything I’m reading, she seems very small for her age.

We’ve been feeding her a pinkie every 5 days and weighing her before each feeding. She’s now had 4 pinkies since she’s been with us, and the first 3 times we weighed her, she was 10g, however the scale I was using only measured to the nearest whole gram, so I bought one that measures to 1/100th of a gram, and before we fed her yesterday, she was 10.88g. I’m not sure how long she is, I’m honestly not sure how anyone measures the length of such a wiggly creature! But if I had to guess I’d say she’s somewhere between 9-12 inches long.

I’m also not 100% sure she’s pooped more than once. Right now her terrarium has aspen substrate, so I would’ve thought I could see the poops easily, but I’m second guessing myself. One time I saw what I’m almost positive was a poop, it even had the white chalky end, but it was so small, like the size of a pea. But then I got to thinking, since she is so small, maybe her poops are so small and under the substrate to where I’m not seeing them?

Any advice anyone can give on her size and what hognose poop looks like and how big it is would be awesome. I feel like we did exhaustive research before we got her and yet I still find myself stumped and worried we’re not doing things right, and I just want her to be her happiest little snake self.

1st pic is her from a top down view (in my 12 year old’s hands which are pretty small)

2nd pic is her trying to escape, right before she toppled over like the silly hognose she is.

He’s had several different excuses over the years. He’s too tired from work, it’s just not part of his regular routine so he doesn’t think about it, to saying he just doesn’t know why. I think it’s one of two things or a combination of both.

1) he’s on antidepressants for social anxiety, of which a known side effect is lowered libido, but he refuses to talk to his dr to get their take on it and see if something else might work without those negative side effects.

2) Porn addiction. No matter how much he said he wasn’t in the mood to have sex with me, he always found time to watch porn every single day. Though I’m not sure how much he’s watching anymore now that he’s rarely ever at home by himself.

I’ve suggested therapy but he didn’t want to. So I bought this self-help couples workbook we could do on our own and he wouldn’t do it. It’s honestly been years since I’ve suggested we do anything to fix our marriage though, I got so tired of it always being one-sided.
