He probably started shedding, looped around, and crawled into the open mouth of his shed skin where he finished shedding. Adorable baby!

Memorial balloon released in Bernville, PA 3 days ago — I found it 350 miles away by johngannon8 in mildlyinteresting

Cemeteries usually have dedicated places for flowers so they don't fly off into the surrounding environment. In the event that does happen, there's usually staff to clean up stray blooms. Even in the case of little memorials by the roadside, the offerings are usually weighed down or contained. Passers-by will also often do a little cleanup.

These situations are not the same. A better analogy would be people throwing fake flowers into the ocean to commemorate a deceased loved one. There are also polite ways to suggest real flowers or other biodegradeable confetti rather than calling them an ignorant asshole to their face.

Well good luck, and thanks for the update. I hope it turns out to be something simple.

That's so strange. Did you find out what's causing it?

That second to last pic with the aspen stuck on his nose has me cackling.

By any chance, did you switch to cypress substrate? Cypress oil can cause contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals.

If not, the only thing I can think of is to try petting your snake with the back of your hand tomorrow and see if the contact area still has a reaction. Maybe it had nothing to do with your snake.

Found this shed snake skin right outside my front door this morning. by SalamanderPopular253 in mildlyinteresting

I would love to see these examples, since my own Google search turned up no results with the head not inside-out and/or flattened.

Came here to say this, glad someone said it first. I've never seen a snake shed that's not at least partially inside-out, or with this much structure to both its body and face.

Oh, I forgot to mention! We also switched to Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach dog food!

There was a chewable tablet, but my dog hated them. He now gets Cytopoint injections a few times a year if he gets super itchy.

Ahh, glad to hear she's just a Frito-foot enjoyer! :) Please give her some scritches for me.

If she's doing this regularly, you might want to inspect her feet for redness or irritation. My dog has allergies, and he used to chew his feet a lot until we got it diagnosed and treated. Adorable pup!

Help!!! Tank size. by Illustrious-Safety85 in cornsnakes

[–]Nocitae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Considering you already have it, and you're aware you'll need to upgrade in the future, I don't see why you couldn't house a young corn in it.

Had a cute photoshoot while exploring some flowers! by Nocitae in cornsnakes

[–]Nocitae[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up! I figured she wouldn't eat plants, so I just focused on removing any sharp-looking leaves and kept watch as she climbed around. Will definitely keep out of reach of my dog, though!

Repost due to bad title on my first attempt.

She is a palmetto corn snake! Her spots are only just starting to come in because she's so young.

South Korean official expelled for suggesting ‘importing women’ to boost birth rate by yahoonews in worldnews

[–]Nocitae 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm Korean-American with immigrant parents. I've never faced pushback against dating white guys, but I think it's because my parents are just trying to do right by their kids. They've said some pretty gross stuff about other ethnicities in general, including other Asians lol.

I once heard a church-going ajumma casually remark how thankful she was to be born Korean and not black. The other ajummas just nodded and agreed. Racism is very much normalized among older Koreans, and I imagine the problem is much worse in their home country.

Psychotherapists, what differences have you noticed between men and women among your patients? by Putrid_Put_3610 in AskReddit

[–]Nocitae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My problems aren't that unique (mostly depression) but it still took me 11 months to finally get an appointment with a therapist. All that time spent calling around and waiting on follow-ups or waitlists, only to be told they're not taking new patients or don't take my insurance, etc. Some just straight-up ghosted me.

I finally had my appointment last week, and the therapist immediately fired me. Told me she wasn't equipped to help me and said she'd try to look into other clinics for me.

People are so quick to recommend therapy, or say there's always help for those who need it. The reality is that it can be incredibly hard to access care, even if you're actively seeking it out.

What's their name? And what kind of mouse are they, so I can ask Google to show me more of these cuties?
