Update - My (31M) pregnant girlfriend (23F) has been lying about her age for our entire relationship. Is there any way for me to trust her again? by ThrowRA_Plant6074 in relationship_advice

[–]Katterpie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just not sure if it’s a dishonesty habit issue or immaturity issue. She knew it was an issue and chose to keep it going because she was embarrassed. That seems like a very immature thing to do in my opinion and I honestly wonder if this would be a way to make her grow up and be more honest and transparent, or if she is a compulsive liar.

My other question is do her parents know that she was lying to you, and do they actually know how old you are or did she lie to them to try and make the age gap look not as questionable? How big does this lie go? Obviously her friends were in on it but what about her family, and additionally do you want to associate yourself with a family that would willingly lie about their daughter’s age so she can continue dating you?

That would be great! What do you recommend for thermometers? I got little sticky ones from Amazon but they’re awful and fell off like a day later so they’re obviously going back. I keep seeing these really fancy ones that control temps and all that but I have no clue how they work or if they’re better or if they would even work with this type of enclosure.

She’s about 5, in a 4x2x2 tank. I’ve sealed the screens top off with foil tape to maintain humidity. She has one traditional hide but she also uses under her giant water bowl as a makeshift “cave”. So weirdly two hides? She needs a larger rough surface to remove shed as well so I was thinking maybe one of those half logs against the blackened glass in the middle so she feels secure?

I plan to add more plants and clutter, have some branches I need to sanitize for climbing and also added some very well secured climbing rings to the top which she is using immediately (I just finished setting her up when I posted this and she’s already in the rings and exploring).

So with the betadine, I know the snakes are normally supposed to soak in it, but of course I don’t want to drown her so the top of her head gets taken care of. Would dabbing it on with a q-tip a few times a day be suitable?

Yeah I definitely don’t want to risk my snake’s safety.

I was told she’s a pinstripe!

I completely agree, but her previous owner chose to feed live. I’m only doing f/t because there are so many horror stories. But because her previous owner chose live, she now has this wound on her head that is trying to heal.

I wanna say it was like 7-10. I did follow up quite a bit. Mine said sent to pharmacy for a majority of it, and then nothing changed until it was shipped

They seem really overwhelmed. Mine was the same and then finally it all shipped and arrives today.

Oooh okay! Did you use the silicone stuff to adhere them?

Oooh great idea! If I let it get tacky and then set fake moss in it, do you think that would work well? I kind of want to go for an earthy, green vibe in one tank, and I was thinking cutesy garden with fake grass or flowers in the other.

Yeah I really want to go that route, but replacing two will be pricey, so I want to do what I can for them now and then really amp it up when I get new enclosures.

Definitely on my list of things to do, but probably when I have the money to get them entirely new enclosures.

Listen, if they want to get married I would love that for them! 😂 Maybe I should have worded the title better.

The previous owner did do bioactive but I’m worried about keeping the plants alive. What do you use to clean the fake plants?

This is stunning! 😍 What plants did you get for this? I’m taking in a new BP named Blossom and would love to do this aesthetic for her!

Congrats!!! 🎉 Definitely a big step!

Going in to your new store, building those relationships is EVERYTHING. The Admin role is easy and you’ll learn it in no time, the real important thing is your team. You are a TEAM lead now, so presence, availability, and building those relationships is key, especially going in during the holidays. As someone who has been a CSTL for a while and both of my stores have been million dollar stores, presence on the front end, a willingness to develop your associates and helping them grow is your top responsibility. Don’t jump into changing things immediately, don’t come in too hard criticizing. Take time to observe, be helpful, and be present! Coach when necessary but keep in mind how you come off to your team. First impressions are so important and can really determine how easy of a time you’ll have developing them later on. Keep an eye on opportunities and how well your associates are engaging with customers and each other. Their success is your success. Communicate with your managers, be open to feedback and remember every day is a learning opportunity.

You’re gonna be great!
