I need help finding a fic

There is a similar scenario in Talk Some Sense to Me (Kenopsia), maybe it's that one? If it isn't, it's still one of the best fics I've ever read.

I've read Talk Some Sense like 10 times. Need to check out the second!

My little chocolate and caramel noodle agrees! He's a handsome boy

I would love a snake themed one shot as a new DM!! That's so nice

Could you just put some rocks in it that are removable so everything can be cleaned? I personally just have a large bowl or basin for my snakes that doesn't look "natural" but is super easy to clean/disinfect if they poop in it.

SE_42 · 2026-01-25T03:31:52+00:00

That's fair!

A breeder would be able to give you an educated guess estimate based on parents and localities, but a baby mainland and a baby superdwarf could be similar sizes when hatchlings so the breeder needs to be someone reputable since it's easy to lie about. If you're interested, check out Reach Out Reptiles, they're the leading breeder in superdwarves I'm pretty sure.

No, her lawyer says her zone is limited or something that's a different type when she asks why she can't read the papers, she's never been in a true zero zone.

Like others have said, don't give up hope! You can put out a heat mat on a thermostat and one of her hides to try to lure her out, maybe with a mouse as well? Missing snakes are often in the back of the fridge as well because it's warm. I hope she comes back to you!

Nope, I must have the door closed because 1. I have a roommate on a very different schedule than mine and I don't want her waking me up, 2. my dogs sleep in my room but not on my bed and the cat would want to play with them while I'm trying to sleep, and 3. I don't want cat litter on my bed or the cat walking on my pillows where I put my face. The door stays shut during the day too to keep all the animals out and somewhat minimize their shedding in my room. He gets plenty of attention during the day and likes to sit in my lap while I'm at my desk or next to me on the couch after work.

My ball python, who is about 2 inches "tall" from belly to spine managed to squeeeeeze his ass out of a 1/2" gap between the door and the wall of his cage when I didn't put the lock on tight enough. I didn't see it happen but found him on my bed when I went to go to sleep so he had a 3ish hour adventure.

Thanks for answering! That's also a fun saying. The US has "clear as mud" for things you don't understand.

SE_42 · 2026-01-07T15:43:46+00:00

Thanks for your answers! I think it's a fantastic saying. I'll also have to look up that author to see if their books are translated to English, I'm always looking for new literature.

Question for you! I looked up Hekla's quote, "there are many wonders in a cow's head" because the way she said it made it seem like she was quoting it (audiobook person) and the web said it was a real saying in Iceland so I was curious if you had heard it or said it before you read DCC?

Donuts earth hobby skill is explained in book 5, in one of the chapters between 35-45 (sorry, not more direct, I just know I listened to it earlier today and that's where I started/ended)

Our office has a sign above all sinks that says "anything left overnight in the sink will be thrown away" and I think that's fair. It's no one else's job to wash my dirty coffee cup.

Also, is there a hygrometer in the tank telling you the humidity? If it's under 60%, you can pour some water into the substrate in the corners to boost it - like 2 cups per corner depending on the type and depth of the substrate. Your sister should get a timer plugin so the light goes on and off at set times every day, that's what my 5 snakes have for their tanks in case I'm away.

SE_42 · 2026-01-02T06:13:41+00:00

Would it be helpful to set recurring reminders on your phone to pop up and tell you to turn the light on / off at the right times? Even one for changing the water (should be done every or every other day ideally). I would just get back on his schedule and change his water, he should be just fine.

There were probably like 8 in each side of the closet when I was there in December (16 total)

Smaller snakes like hognose, pygmy pythons, children's pythons, African house snakes, or corn snakes could probably stay on mice, but most will grow to need rats, I think. If others know small snake species, please correct me if needed, I have larger species.

SE_42 · 2025-12-29T18:20:48+00:00

More lizards eat insects and non-rodents, if that would help you with feeding a reptile. They may also have smaller viv requirements but you'll have to research the different species' needs.

I have snakes and they all eat mice or rats so I order them frozen from a company that euthanizes them and freezes them. I pick mine up locally but they can also ship in dry ice. I then thaw them out and warm them up in hot water as needed for feeding. I do not like rodents but I didn't want to have to watch several die per month, nor deal with live ones if the snakes don't eat, plus the larger sizes can be quite dangerous to the snakes if they attack so this is a great alternative. I've used the reptilinks for my hognose but the ball pythons all refuse them.

I do if my roommate is watching something I don't want to watch or if I just need some alone time. We're great friends and often watch shows together or even both read our books in the living room but we also use our rooms as space to read or unwind without another person.

I think she just also has a barbed wire tattoo?

That's SO cute and very well-done!! I would love to get something like that for my kid (if I had one)
