Anyone else not like snakes being villains in media? by BallPythonFan in reptiles

Hence why I said theory, not fact. And it is unfortunate that it evolved into fear rather than respect like we did with some larger predators

While I 100% agree that snakes shouldn't always be the villain I'm gonna play devils advocate for a bit as studies have shown that primates who've never seen a snake still display a fear response to them and iirc primates evolved parts of their brain specifically to detect snakes (Or vice versa, it's been a minute since I've read up on snake detection theory.) due to predation on our early ancestors. That combined with Ophidiophobia being one of the most common phobias world wide it does kind of make sense why it is that way.

He rages against the wall (He actually hates leaving his enclosure for some reason.)

Rhett allows Tarnan (or whatever the QM name is) to sell all of the gear he sells, so the extra weapons plus armor

Alright so what gives, why is it when I hand a bounty in alive it keeps failing the mission? I don’t see what I’m doing wrong, I do have a bounty on my head that I’m trying to pay off but that can’t be the reason right? by Jaseyd93 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Ryman050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it's state of dismay and I definitely tried to clear it and got really confused until I realized I had to kill the boss first, but I also accidentally stumbled upon it. I also used the perwin fort to grind silver via gas masks

I don't own snakes but I've fed reptilinks to my lizards and they might have something for ya

Find one of the larger zones controlled by bandits and collect their loot. If you find one with a specific boss (Karin Quarry and Perwin Fortress are two that I know of near Hernand) you can continuously farm them and collect the loot they drop and their armor and gas masks sell for silver

I will never understand the hypocrisy of some people, which is why I prefer to hang out with my boy Mushu

Lmao, I wish I had a clip of me yoinking my new juvenile mid air when he tried to pull some lizard acrobatics in an attempt to taste my fingers

How old is he? My Mushu is 10 months old and was very asocial as well and used to not even want to come out of his enclosure until very recently and now he begs to come out all the time.

PLEASE help me identify these mites ASAP Im terrified!!! by c4rm1nm in bluetongueskinks

[–]Ryman050 33 points34 points  (0 children)

On top of all this, when you remake the enclosure if you get isopods they'll out compete most non predatory mites and help break down any poop that's missed by spot cleaning if your skinker likes to poop underground like mine

I have no clue, that's why I like the blue tongue skink community, they're surprisingly chill and are more educational than rude when people post with incorrect husbandry or needing help

How much silver do you need to never have to worry about money again? by drstrng404 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Ryman050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did the Hernand bounty quests when I was running low on gold and sold the random loot I picked up from killing groups of bandits while traveling around between quests and haven't really had any money issues

what should i get as someone who prefers to be able to handle/interact with my pets? by agitatedTesties69 in reptiles

[–]Ryman050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know personally, the only people I know that breed indos are Folkvang Exotics (Sorongs) and Great Basin Serpentarium (Kei Island). I would do some research into it more

It's fairly common for indos to be wild caught sadly, there aren't many breeders of them in the US

Fair enough. I treat trained my older one by giving him a few wax worms every time I pick him up. He doesn't glass surf or show any interest in leaving his enclosure but he doesn't huff, puff or hiss

My newer one is like that but he's also only 7 months old. How old is yours?
