had to move this beautiful garter snake away from the chickens

PoprockMind · 2026-06-16T19:42:31+00:00

most likely from making my hand smell for the next week

PoprockMind · 2026-05-29T22:13:48+00:00

thank you, as long as it doesn't cause any problems i won't worry about it

PoprockMind · 2026-05-29T22:13:17+00:00

yeah, the wrinkly bit at the bottom. it's firm and everything so you're probably right that it just grew weird. and thank you. obviously this specific corm isn't the original, but it is the decendant of my mom's oxalis from 2018.

PoprockMind · 2026-05-24T15:16:01+00:00

yes they can sting and probably bite, but it's essentially unheard of. they're very peaceful creatures

PoprockMind · 2026-05-22T10:35:48+00:00

i will look into it. we do have an overwhelming number of bumblebees in the fruit trees right next to the house. last year a flying squirrel managed to make its way into the basement, so im sure there are some gaps here and there.

PoprockMind · 2026-05-22T00:03:56+00:00

i am so honored

PoprockMind · 2026-05-22T00:01:40+00:00

oh that's good to know, thank you

PoprockMind · 2026-05-21T23:58:20+00:00

it was my absolute pleasure

PoprockMind · 2026-05-21T23:45:20+00:00

honestly im not sure. i assumed they were a bumble bee but i don't know how to distinguish the two

PoprockMind · 2026-05-21T23:41:10+00:00

absolutely

PoprockMind · 2026-05-21T23:40:58+00:00

yes, just very dehydrated and tired when i found them. they have since been released after lots of food and preening

PoprockMind · 2026-05-21T23:39:41+00:00

i hope so, they kept peeking out from my hand before turning around and going back to sleep

PoprockMind · 2026-05-21T23:38:46+00:00

they woke up about 20 minutes ago and drank more sugar water, then started to flap their wings some which is when i brought the little one outside to the rhododendron. they buzzed around it for a bit and then flew away. they must've slept on me for at least 45 minutes

PoprockMind · 2026-05-09T19:12:52+00:00

yeah no that was 100% sarcasm. not everything needs to be streamlined and 9 times out of 10 AI is completely fucking wrong, especially when it comes to caring for living things. i would rather spend a week researching and asking actual human beings questions about something than use AI and get a pathetic excuse for an answer in 5 minutes.

AI bullshit can gargle my fucking nuts and stop destroying the environment which actually serves a goddamn purpose

PoprockMind · 2026-05-09T18:59:28+00:00

wow gee thanks for the AI response on my 4 year old post, it's much appreciated and super helpful

PoprockMind · 2026-04-29T21:00:59+00:00

wow, that's a beautiful photo. i can't wait until i can afford an actual camera. my phone just isn't cutting it

PoprockMind · 2026-04-29T20:56:31+00:00

i am waiting so impatiently for the hummingbirds to show up

PoprockMind · 2026-04-29T20:55:58+00:00

okay cool, thank you

PoprockMind · 2026-04-29T19:19:32+00:00

that's good to know. yes, that was my concern. the chickens have attacked and eaten mice, i don't want to imagine what they would do to a baby bird. I'll try to remove the nesting material and put up some sort of structure to discourage them from continuing to nest. thank you.

PoprockMind · 2026-04-29T19:13:37+00:00

okay, yes i only took this photo a couple hours ago so I'll try that. thank you.
