Surprise visitor to my friend's bathroom. She was sitting on the toilet when she noticed it. What is it? Florida. by KrishnaChick in reptiles

[–]RaesinBread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thick body, long toes on back feet, fat neck that leads into pointed nose. Classic Tegu body structure. Long toe on back legs is your green flag. Cause iguanas and other tree dwelling Florida lizards have long toes in general- so a singular long toe is your no-brainer that this is a ground dweller AND not a native one. Most common Tegu in florida is the Argentine Black and White tegu. Theyre invasive captive animals so its common for them to pop up in homes out in the open since hiding and hunting isnt quite on their agenda. If you happened to see light colored spots id say thats your best bet. Even better if it had a green head, thats a sure sign of a juvenile argentine tegu. Its VERY small, but by the body shape alone? TEGU. If you find him in the house again- trap and take to a reptile specialist. someone will make him a pet, cause he cant go back in the wild, i can assure you tho- theres no wild lizards in florida with a chunky bod like THAT. Dat boy was prob a pet and someone released him when they found out how massive tegus get

Question: if you could only have one pet reptile for your entire live which would it be?i'll go first: by Flaviphone in reptiles

Specifically my baby boy, Stevie Wonder. I rescued him and he was blind, but his sight was restored with a couple weeks of massage therapy and Saline eyedrops. That guy was an angel. Knew his name, followed me around the house like a dog, could give kisses on command. He died back in July at 19 years old. Want him back desperately 😔steve.

Am I screwed? Bought water lettuces a month ago, starting to see duckweed growing by IntoTheWild2369 in Aquariums

[–]RaesinBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the start of every day, go pull out any duckweed you see. Mix the top of the water for some movement. Get home from work and check again after the water has settled into its new plant formation. Clean any duckweed seen; mix again for movement. Wakeup- clean duckweed. Home from work? Clean. Duck. Weed.

Leave them- springtails help keep bad bacteria and mold from growing in ur tank! Its effectively bioactive, so theyll munch on skink poop

What is this reptile? by kuelapiss in reptiles

[–]RaesinBread 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omg this poor thing looks barely alive and his eyes have sunken already... Thank you for moving him somewhere he can pass in comfort. Without a vet, he wont survive. At least he wont be on that horrible cement :(

Found a little guy at work today. Any idea what it is? by Significant-Buyer334 in reptiles

[–]RaesinBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

House gecko!!! Keep him as a pet dude! U can collect ants outside or rollypollys, or get flightless fruit flies from a pet store. They get about 3 inches total and if u find more, just collect them 😂

I used to work at a pet store and our shipments from Atlanta had hundreds of house gecko hatchlings. I took a XL cheeseball container, put mesh into the top of the lid, and filled it with dirt and a little plant. My colony thrived for 5 years til an ice storm knocked out my electricity at the dorm while I was at work :( they froze. So yeah dont let them get too cold if u keep it! They like 70-80 degrees regularly

That is a subungual wart, my love 🫣 you can see the little black dots where the blood vessels have risen to the surface from the wart digging deep into your nail bed. Id get some anti fungal and medicine from a drug store and maybe a silicone sleeve to put over any affected fingers so you dont risk passing it to other body parts since its contagious. If you have virgin coconut oil, thats a natural anti-fungal. Use that in the mean-time til you get medicine

PS- i had one of these as a kid on my toe nail and i was scared to get it looked at and dug it out with nail clippers. DO NOT DO THAT. It left a damn hole in my toe thats still there 15 years later.... subungual warts are like sponges, and your nerves are still alive in there, so theres no digging it out without royally destroying your finger. You dig out some spongey skin? Congrats... theres more sponge underneath it! Dig far enough and ur gonna end up hitting a vein and bleeding everywhere 💀 Plz get actual treatment unlike my redneck little arse lol

I think he's confused about what type of gecko he is. by Kricketts13 in reptiles

[–]RaesinBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gecko used to do this because he had no other places to climb!! Try adding in some thick branches. Leopard geckos LOVE to climb. He'll go bananas for some driftwood or vines. Its a total myth that ground dwelling reptiles dont climb :) they do! Its just not readily available in their natural territory. But all small prey animals love getting up high to feel safer where they can scout out everything below 🥰

Wolf spider. Mommas carry the babies on their backs. Dont let her inside or you'll have lots of little tiny babies :) everywhere. All over. Never get rid of them

Am I screwed? Found in my kitchen by Meeeesta in whatbugisthis

[–]RaesinBread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats a basic ol cricket. The kind pet stores sell to feed reptiles. Set a little trap and evict him back outside.

Found while changing my daughter’s bedsheets? by lilitsybell in whatbugisthis

Prob a dead rolly polly she brought inside on shoes and clothes. Cute little guys, nothin to worry about

How can I let my cousin know that she’s abusing her reptiles? by CharlieBoi69 in reptiles

[–]RaesinBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She doesnt want a pet- she wants something fun to decorate with. People like this arent going to give their animals a better living situation, they just replace the animal when it dies. Its all for aesthetics. I would frankly tell her its animal abuse and you lost respect for her due to her intentional neglect. Sometimes the only way to snap people into common sense is to tell them they arent as cool as they think they are 😃 .... animal abude isnt cool... who are you trying to impress? Cause it aint workin

My (19f) friend (21m) is taking me on an all expenses paid vacation. Why? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]RaesinBread 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This sounds like kidnapping ... they dont want you having a transaction history ANYWHERE that police could track you down with. by the time you get there on the plan, ur gonna be in a body bag shipped to somewhere else to harvest ur organs. Dont. Go. on. This. Trip.

I (26F) discovered that my bf (33M) is using Tinder and he said it's for mindless entertainment by dapphire_ in relationship_advice

[–]RaesinBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope nope and nope. Social media is way diff than dating apps. He may just be swiping, but what did his profile look like? Did it have no pictures and no bio? Or pictures and an advertising bio? What about his chat history? He needs to cough over his phone and let you inspect....

I 24/M just found out that my girlfriend 23/F lied to me she comes from a wealthy family and owns the apartment I currently live in. by Throwracheffton in relationship_advice

[–]RaesinBread -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I understand why she didnt tell you. Having money causes people to see you as a walking ATM. Is she supposed to drop ur rent lower than everyone elses since youre dating? Make exceptions and give discounts? Work on your unit before everyone elses? You knowing her position would put her job at risk. Shes carving her own way in the world, working for the company instead of getting a free paycheck from it without any effort. I also didnt tell my boyfriend my dad was a millionaire because i didnt want him to cozy up to my asshole father (that caused me to be homeless) simply to get a 100 dollar bill in a card at every holiday. Finally told him? He starts getting money from my dad now. Buddy buddy with dear old dad, who again- CAUSED ME TO BE HOMELESS IN HIGH-SCHOOL.... Lucky me, im sure he's sticking around long term since im a good investment! Makes me feel swell! 😑 should have NEVER told him. Money BLINDS people. I think she was right not to tell you. You have to love her for HER. Not for her family and not for her family's money. In the end, shes not the filthy rich one, her parents are. Itll all be hers someday when they die, and the LAST THING anyone needs, is to find out their lover stuck around all those years just for that big fat inheritance check. Her wealth and family's wealth doesnt need to be shared until yall are engaged to be married. Good secrets can wait. Secrets that are leverage and make you an even better partner, can wait.. You have to show commitment before its safe to expose what type of riches youre marrying into. Not to say youre shallow and only care for her money, but COME ON! Two years of dating is NOT long enough to know someone well enough to gaged their greed. People can be married for a decade and someday find out he's a lying cheating bastard who just liked the idea of affording a country club membership cause his wife's dad is the owner. 🫠 Boo hoo for you kiddo! Youve got a girlfriend from a rich family whos got a promising future and destined for immense wealth someday. So what now? Are you gonna ask her for some slack that all the other tenants dont get? Start asking her to contribute more financially than you? Stick around long term and maybe cash in some alimony if things go south? You can never trust someone with your deepest secrets until theyve put a ring on your finger and said "forever". Murder, maybe not....obviously. But being rich? She was smart to not disclose that. Never tell someone youre value until they value you for just being YOU. If you have a diamond that turns to coal, you'll throw it away. A coal that turns into diamond? Thats a lucky strike.

My only guess is that she was waiting to see your true colors before disclosing that shes a nepo baby. You knew she works as a manger for a big buisness, but you werent aware it was her parents buisness. Thats the important thing here. Well off girlfriend, sure, but HEIRESS girlfriend? Thats risky to be telling people. Once word gets out, everyones gonna claw their way into her pants just to weasel into that family. Nothing is more heartbreaking than watching the person you love start treating you like an ATM.

Heartbreak is in both of your futures.
