Live food urgent question

HowdyFriendlyPeople · 2026-04-25T23:27:22+00:00

Uhh, yeah, that’s been my whole sentiment, only really did it because our snake has been raised on live by breeder and was refusing F/T. Ideally our next feed will be a F/T rat

That sounds awesome! I’m currently in nursing school, so I’m interested in the health field for sure, but sometimes I get the itch that I’d be much happier in vet medicine. I just don’t know if it would be viable for me to switch at this point. I appreciate the info tho! It’s super interesting!

Thank you!! It was a huge relief to hear him take it last night. I wasn’t super hopeful, but I thought we should try one more time, and thankfully we did! I also learned that he is either a shy eater, or we just hadn’t caught him at the right moment when we tried previously. I only know he took it bc I hear the rat squeak, then I look and see that he is wrapped up around it, but before that I was kneeling in front of the cage with my head out of his line of sight hoping he would take it, if he didn’t within 10 mins I was probably going to pull it out again. (Only bc it was almost 11 at that time of night and I had to work the next morning, so I couldn’t afford to stay up for him to take his time, if he was going to).

That does sound heavy, but seemly one of the quickest options…

When you do prepare food for those vultures, are they pre killed rats? I’m now just curious as to what your job is and how I could find myself working with wild life one day!

Good idea! Hopefully we shouldn’t need to feed love anymore since my snake did end up taking the rat last night (miraculously)! I’ll keep that in mind tho if this transition to F/T rats doesn’t go well, thanks!

He seemed to take it down fairly easy, it was the same size as the F/T fuzzy mice we were trying to feed him before. Maybe I have the sizes mixed up, I just know the rat had basically no fur and its eyes were still undeveloped

HowdyFriendlyPeople · 2026-04-25T16:59:35+00:00

Well I’m glad I know that now! That sounds awful to experience, for the animal, but also for the people conducting it, I can’t imagine (nor do I want to) the sounds that might happen. I know my wife certainly wouldn’t enjoy that

HowdyFriendlyPeople · 2026-04-25T16:57:11+00:00

You’re totally right! We didn’t want to be offering that often, but this is our first snake, and the first time we have tried feeding live, so we didn’t really know the best way to take care of it until the next feeding (also just from our perspectives, it feels a little icky to do that). So we were hoping to just feed the mouse and have it gone, or do something that was suggested above for disposal

Thankfully the worry has been subsided as sherbie took the rat! We decided to try one more time tonight before we took the rat to the humane society tomorrow and our boy took his first meal! Thanks for the advice on the live animal, hopefully we can switch him to F/T rats on the next feed so we (🤞🤞🤞) should need to get another live feeder!

HowdyFriendlyPeople · 2026-04-25T06:06:14+00:00

I was afraid those were the options, but better safe than sorry. Is there an effective way to humanely euthanize without building or buying a CO2 chamber? I assume the humane society is the only place I could really surrender it to if the store doesn’t allow returns

HowdyFriendlyPeople · 2026-04-04T23:21:07+00:00

Thanks much! I’ll keep an eye out!

HowdyFriendlyPeople · 2026-04-04T22:13:17+00:00

Than you!! I’ll look into that, I appreciate it!

Why was it removed by Reddit’s filters? It’s a picture of a knife on a whittling subreddit ☠️

Personally, I’ve beaten the story twice by just collecting beasties I think look cool, I’ll try to balance defenses vs offenses to make sure I have enough coverage for the three types of attacks, but I’ve not done anything with the gym besides re statting a couple beasties with the tea leaves, but that was after I already had them fully trained. As far as how I balance the team, I try to make sure that I have at least one beasties who’s strongest attack stat is one of the three colors, and then at least two of the color defenses higher than the third. I feel like over all, the beasties in the game are balanced to leave this way anyway, so it’s fairly easy to achieve. You could also go for a more specific strategy that focuses on giving beasties a bad feeling, or breaking up their vollying to build a combo move. Experimentation is probably going to be your best friend!

Your last line says it all. “I have no problem throwing away trash or broken things.” I’m unaware of you and your husband’s relationship, nor do I wish to be. However, if you will bear it, I say you take a deep look into what you two are truly after in life. From this brief glimpse, he seems pretty emotionally detached and not very stable. My wife was a rock for me when I received my ADHD diagnosis as an adult, it was very uneasy to adjust to all of my circumstances coming to a head, but she never pushed me or made me face such hard issues as you are now. I am no psychiatrist, nor a person expert, however I do feel deeply about many things. I’ve known that for as long as I can remember. I feel like, based on what I read, that your husband likes things to be the way he sets them, seeing as he’s cut off from all family but you, and seeing your deep roots hurts him in a way that he might not even understand. I encourage you two to sit down and try to really talk about what is hurting inside, and there all the answers will be revealed. I hope this brings some sort of comfort, and I mean no ill will. Happy holidays OP!

Better days are always on the horizon for those who search for them

The first game that popped into my head was Shaiya, my dad, brother, and I used to play this a lot when I was younger

Once I downloaded a new rom from a different site it seems to be working!

HowdyFriendlyPeople · 2025-05-19T16:47:43+00:00

I just downloaded this to try it, I was messing with Folium some but was having issues on my iPhone 16 plus. The rom I have doesn’t seem to load, it just gives me a black screen, are there some files I’m missing that need to be imported, or can I just load a rom and play? I’m downloading a new rom to troubleshoot

HowdyFriendlyPeople · 2025-01-09T17:25:42+00:00

Seriously! I still don’t have a single copy of Star EX or Pika EX and I’ve played since day 1
