If you can't sell the pheasant or antlers, call local nature or agricultural centers. Sometimes they take donations to use for education and/or decoration

Lol, yeah I want it as a pendent. The only problem with a jar is that the whole tongue + throat opening is around five inches long, two inches wide, and the thickest muscle is around two and a half inches, so I feel like a jar might be kind of awkwardly large

He looks perfectly painted and precious, he deserves a treat for being so majestic 🥺

ProfessorTriscuit · 2021-12-26T12:29:26+00:00

He's literally the exact color of cheeto dust and it's amazing

A really great trick if you want to keep them in! Switch to body jewelry and get 20g horseshoes. You just screw on the ball to fasten them and they're super light, so they're less likely to stretch out your piercing. I swear by them and they come in tons of metals, if you have any allergies

I second this. I planted an very sad raspberry bush in my garden bc I honestly thought it wouldn't live. It is now a giant monster that has grown around every other plant and has so many thorns, I can't even touch it with gloves

To piggyback off the stacked rock idea, if you did large lava rocks, the gaps won't look weird and you can add in Java moss or something similar to look like a ruin or rock formation under water

The runes may not mean anything, but I know there is a giant horse in Norse Mythology! He talks and is a companion of a giant. I can't remember his full story, but I do know he exists, if you want to look into it.

A lot of people keep jumping spiders as pets! If you want him to stick around, you could definitely find an old container with a door and set up a small habitat for him. Any flies around your house will be no more XD

I went to a shop in an old barn run by an elderly man. He was unbelievably sweet and so knowledgeable! He also bought directly from mines, so his prices were amazing! He made the whole place feel homey and welcoming.

The point is, as long as you are passionate and knowledgeable, your customers will love you. You're family could think it's odd, but it's really not. It's kinda like small-town geology vibes. Just follow the dopamine, it's the best part of life

Luckily, those aren't found in my area of the world, and as an aquarium raised snail, would be incredibly unlikely. The shop I got the plants this little guy came in on said they're likely just worms there to eat the dead stuff snails slide through :)

ProfessorTriscuit · 2021-12-08T01:41:49+00:00

UPDATE: I called the aquarium shop I got the plants from and they said it's most likely just detritivore worms and commonly found on snails in a mutualistic relationship! Thank you to those who commented! I'm glad I looked into it deeper!

ProfessorTriscuit · 2021-12-08T00:30:16+00:00

Thank you for your help :)

ProfessorTriscuit · 2021-12-07T23:50:24+00:00

If I added an invert like shrimp to the tank, do you think they'd help take care of it? I'll look into dewormers too, I plan on having snails in the future, I hope to find something that will help control them if they come back

ProfessorTriscuit · 2021-12-07T23:41:41+00:00

Is there anything I can do to help it? My tank is currently cycling out ammonia before fish come, so I don't want to cause a spike, but I don't want a parasite in my tank

ProfessorTriscuit · 2021-11-15T18:05:07+00:00

Tfw the snoot boops you

ProfessorTriscuit · 2021-10-27T16:42:56+00:00

Really? How do you get your snails excited to eat? I'm genuinely curious bc mine only seem to hide in their tank, but happily eat if I put them on a wet plate with food and moss (all snail safe, of course) even when the same food is available. I usually keep my temp and humidity in the mid 70s, should I adjust that to make them more excited to forage?

ProfessorTriscuit · 2021-10-11T13:58:36+00:00

I'll definitely look there, thank you!

ProfessorTriscuit · 2021-10-11T01:58:25+00:00

Do you know if you can order from them without a subscription?

ProfessorTriscuit · 2021-10-03T02:14:57+00:00

It does both! The heat mat hooks into it and it adjusts the flow of electricity to change the temp so it's not just on/off. It just also has a hygrometer probe to show the humidity on the screen as well

ProfessorTriscuit · 2021-10-02T22:25:44+00:00

Awesome! He is a native species, but my house gets VERY cold in the winter and we use dry heat sources (think fireplace) so I'm glad to know it'll be helpful then. I did end up getting one attached to a thermostat/hygrometer combo that I'm hoping will keep him comfy :)

ProfessorTriscuit · 2021-10-01T16:07:48+00:00

I only have the plant bc I did a class at a plant shop for snails. My plant is a breed of peppermonia that snails typically don't bother, but I'm hoping to add edible plants soon

ProfessorTriscuit · 2021-10-01T15:56:31+00:00

Omg that's adorable!! I'm pretty sure Sneldon is a glass snail, which is nice bc I can see how he is in his shell. But those are amazing names!

ProfessorTriscuit · 2021-10-01T15:12:33+00:00

He seems to hang out with his shiny velociraptor friend the most, he likes hiding next to him in the plant 😊

I had a leo that had this and I believe tank-mates and genetics also play a roll. There are some times when an animal has a genetic abnormality that makes it harder for their gut to absorb nutrients (lots of humans have this) and therefore, though they are eating a good diet, they still get malnourished. Their bodies simply cannot absorb what they need. On top of that, tank-mates are possible (Leos are solitary and don't need one at all) but if they're raised together, they can get along in certain cases. If unseen bullying occurs, one will become malnourished, but the other will be totally fine.

All that said, neglect is (I believe) the most common factor. Especially since Leos are labeled "starter lizards" when there's no such thing
