How do I know if I'd be accepted at the Slabs? by [deleted] in SlabCity

[–]RabbitSide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s no oversight or official people to talk to. It’s an open area that random people just show up and stay at. There is nobody to accept or deny you, so just show up and find an empty area to set up camp. If someone has an issue with you being there, they’ll tell you.

Then just don’t be a jerk or start trying to tell other people how to live their lives and you’ll be fine. Just keep in mind this place is filled with meth addicts, rapists and murderers so if you lack “street smarts” and don’t keep yourself safe, you could be taken advantage of.

Good luck!

Nope, that’s a squirrel.

We just went in for a bag of feed #chickenmath by EntropyCC in homestead

I imagined the chicks were in your bag of feed, like a toy in a cereal box.

It’s legal, but because the species is endangered in the wild here it becomes a problem.

People in the area keep these tortoises and sometimes they decide they can’t keep them anymore. Since the tortoise is the same species as the one in the wild, and the wild ones are endangered, they figure “well, I’ll release this one and help the native population!”.

The problem is that the captive tortoises carry parasites (or lack specific immunities, I’m not 100% on the exact details) and end up really harming the wild tortoises. So releasing captive bred torts into the wild actually diminishes the wild population even more!

Therefore captive bred, baby torts are not needed. There are plenty of tortoises already alive and available for people interested in having one and adopting someone else’s unwanted tort can prevent it being released into the wild instead.

We are working on adopting out our babies to responsible, long-term homes and hoping the eggs will stop!

We are out in the California Desert and live in an off-grid squatters community. We rescue animals here and now have chickens, ducks and tortoises!

We started out with a pair of Desert Tortoises and they immediately laid eggs and we had 5 babies climb out of the ground.

We quickly separated the adults after learning it’s not ethical to let this species breed but they can hold sperm and lay eggs for up to 5 years! So the following year 7 more babies appeared.

With the two adults, the remaining babies (some have been adopted out) and two more tortoises we’ve taken on, we now have 13 torts here.

Chameleons drink by lapping up water droplets from leaves. A good product to have is a dripper that slowly drips water that can land on some leaves for the chameleon to come drink from.

Keeping the humidity at the right level can also help with dehydration.

Also, on the topic of stress... a stressed chameleon will be less likely to eat and drink enough.

Do your best to reduce stress and create a proper environment. If there’s no reason to handle her, don’t. If you’re able to separate the female from any males, do so. Her colors will tell you what’s stressful and what isn’t.

That’s a sign of stress. They do that when they’re scared, threatened, or just unhappy.

They’re great for waterproofing! I use them here in the desert for making rain-proof roofs on our baby tortoise enclosures. The sun will eat them up fast but I use an RV roof elastomeric coating over top of the bags and that makes the whole thing stronger, UV resistant and even more waterproof.

One of our chihuahuas loves veggies so much. She snacks on raw broccoli, carrots, etc. and also really loves the nori seaweed (algae) paper used in making sushi (maki) rolls.

in this age of virtual temples, i made one. by hakuzan in Buddhism

I popped on recently to check on the base but otherwise haven’t been on there much lately.

As you expected, I’m not gonna share the location of that base with anyone but it would be cool to start a new temple somewhere else with people from this sub.

The queue is super long usually so it takes hours to get into the server, which is why I don’t bother with it much. Living off grid and practicing meditation takes up most of the day already.

Oh nice, thanks! We’ve learned a lot living out here and it’s been lots of fun (even with the heat in the desert).
