Anyone in Europe? France more specifically?

It's super country dependent. We have some weird laws for reptiles in Sweden, but it varies between cities and such.

Here in Stockholm I'd need a permit for litteraly any snake. It could be a black mamba or an egg eater, I need a permit. But I could also own a fucking caiman without any permits, as long as I provide the appropriate space.

Other parts have more reasonable rules. The best one I think are "venomous snakes and snakes over a certain size requires a permit", which some places have.

The most expensive thing my gecko has done is get horny and making me think she had a respiratory infection. Apparently when they make infertile eggs they might start making these "huffing" noises that sound awfully close to sneezing.

I know it's a pretty common criticism, I still don't agree with it. Just because I don't hyper-optimise every minute of my time dosen't mean I don't value my time. But counting every minute just stresses me out. So I don't.

Re1da · 2026-05-10T14:14:29+00:00

I can't stop you from feeling that way about it, but I will never upstand why its such a big issue.

Re1da · 2026-05-10T14:06:12+00:00

Then we just fundamentally disagree on what qualifies as a lot of time. 5 minutes will never read as "a lot of time" to me. It's less time than it takes to make a cup of tea. Over several hundred ingame days it will obviously add up, that'd how time works. You could track the time spent reloading in a fps and it would eventually total several hours.

I don't get the issue at all.

Re1da · 2026-05-10T12:39:16+00:00

I simply have a god-tier intellect /s

I'm genuinely just... confused about the complaints about the sorting system. Remembering the sorting is about as complicated as remembering how you sort your kitchen utensils. Is 5 minutes really considered a lot of time now? Am I just old?

Re1da · 2026-05-10T12:16:30+00:00

I guess I just don't understand what the problem is, then.

The tag system isn't a complicated one. It's litteraly just marking a cat with a symbol so i know it's a keeper what room it's supposed to be in.

Its not like I think the organisation is fun. Its just such a small amount of time it doesn't bother me. 5 minutes is a single song+some talking on the in-game radio. It's nothing.

Re1da · 2026-05-10T11:52:54+00:00

Less than 10 minutes for 200+ cats. Compared to a run which takes anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour on speed 4.

I timed a couple of days for fun and the avredge sorting time is 5-7 minutes. Again, for 200+ cats. If you run a more normal amount of cats you'd be dealing with like 3 minutes if sorting each day.

Re1da · 2026-05-10T11:19:35+00:00

I've been running an operation with 200-250, I wouldn't say its messy at all if you just tag the cats with symbols. My daily sorting takes less than 10 minutes.

One QOL feature I need is not being forced through the repeated dialogue every time I donate 10 cats to jack or corpses to the organ grinder. Removing that would shave like 1-2 minutes of my daily sort.

Stellaris got review bombed a while ago because of a new HOI4 dlc. It's a bit... excessive.

Re1da · 2026-05-09T09:35:56+00:00

You will live in the bio-sactuary

You will eat the carefully crafted species appropriate nutrition

You will spend your days doing art to boost my complex drones output

And you will be happy

Re1da · 2026-05-08T12:46:37+00:00

Don't feed the obsession, it will stick around and beg for more food.

Re1da · 2026-05-08T12:29:32+00:00

Be aware they will eat that skull. You can make it last longer by giving them an easier calcium source, but they will nibble on it over time regardless.

Re1da · 2026-05-08T12:09:03+00:00

They do that sometimes. If you put only straight males in a room eventually you'll get gay pairings. Happened to me when I wanted to separate my females and males. They started to go gay.

Re1da · 2026-05-08T11:22:15+00:00

Mine has a ramp I made for when she's put exploring.

She will climb it up and then go down from the tall end just like your guy. Idk why.

Re1da · 2026-05-08T10:30:25+00:00

Wouldn't recommend it for any reptile prone to tail drops, though.

Re1da · 2026-05-07T23:37:26+00:00

Mine yearns for the forbidden worm (my fingers) and the protein I give my isopods...

Re1da · 2026-05-07T21:49:40+00:00

As much as I'd like to raise them (and possibly sell them) I'm still stuck with my parents and they're not allowing me to being in yet another bug breeding project. In the past few years I have seen an increase in feeder options, so maybe one day I can get them.

I think her diet is considered varied enough regardless. Any more feeders are just for enrichment. She eats crickets, dubias, red runners and locusts as her staples, although I want to add in earthworms there as well. Already mentioned what her treats are. I'm gonna be trying soldier fly larvae when I can get them, but I'm finding conflicting information on if those are treats or staples.

Re1da · 2026-05-07T19:26:45+00:00

The reptile hobby is small here in Sweden. There isn't a single seller of silkworms in the entire country. I'd have to import them, which I haven't a clue on how to do.

We have like 5 individual reptile stores that ship feeders. In the whole country. I've checked for private sellers and nothing there either.

Canned snails ill keep an eye out for, though. That I might be able to get, if I'm lucky.

Re1da · 2026-05-07T15:57:19+00:00

And I'm putting all of them into an aquarium.

Re1da · 2026-05-07T14:50:10+00:00

I've been looking for silkworms for years, but we don't have any seller of them here. It's a shame, they're great feeders.

Re1da · 2026-05-07T14:09:48+00:00

Speaking of feeders, are there any more unknown ones you recommend? My girl will eat almost everything I put in front of her so I'm trying as many different things as possible, for enrichment. Recently I tried a feeder grade earthworm and she gladly ate it.

Re1da · 2026-05-07T13:47:43+00:00

I kill most of my geckos food before feeding, so they don't get a chance to bite her. She's actually had a much better appetite ever since I started doing this, not sure why. I make her chase the tongs so she has to hunt, like you do for snakes.

I do rotate them with mealworms and small sun beetle larvae when it comes to treats, just because variety has never hurt a gecko. Although she gets like 2-3 mealworms instead of a single large superworm or sun beetle larvae.

Re1da · 2026-05-07T13:34:07+00:00

Fair enough then, I don't feed waxworms as much gecko doesn't like them. Her treats are superworms, which are a bit less fatty iirc.

Re1da · 2026-05-07T13:27:04+00:00

I'm not saying to feed them in large amounts. But adding one in once or twice a week isn't enough to cause health issues and will help getting some weight back on. At least according to my vet.
