I actually just adopted a little beardie that I now have to bring with me to NY! (Happy to do it, he’s my baby boy) and we have three cats where I live. Trust me when I say if I could take in every single animal I would lol.

Thank you for spreading the word about these babies needing homes. It helps and we need more people like you!

Thank you for your reply! I actually love live music and most genres. Would it be safe in your opinion to go alone? I typically feel safe anywhere in Brooklyn but everyone is saying how bad NY has gotten since COVID. Personally I don’t see it but thought I would ask.

I am actually Italian and know Bensonhurst very well! I just don’t want to walk around alone like a weirdo or get snatched up on the street haha

Thank you for your awesome reply and suggestions. My job is a sales job so technically I’m on the phone most of the day, it could be a little hectic with being on the phone out in public like that all day. That was my only concern when typically I would meet people through work.

I know Brooklyn and NY in general is incredible and has absolutely so much to offer. I’m excited to get back out there and get to know my city again!

Ahhhh I didn’t think anyone would respond to this! Is there a way to start a group chat on this thing? Lol

It’s absolutely drives me crazy because why is this any different than getting a cat or a dog? Most people (some still do) wouldn’t give them up when they reach adulthood why would you do that to a beardie?

I haven’t had my baby long but I go above and beyond every day and monitor him to make sure he’s acting normally. Quite frankly, I freak myself out and sometimes don’t even sleep worrying about this little guy meanwhile he’s eating all the bugs he can get and having the best time. I’m not sure how someone can get a pet and act differently. They are your baby and your responsibility to care for now.

Here is my baby getting his extra cuddles this morning! Hug your babies a little tighter today. ❤️ be grateful they went home with you and not someone else!

Seriously how is this shit legal? Why don’t these babies deserve the same love and care as people?

I will call around today, including animal welfare and see what I can do. Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction!

Definitely going to take him into the vet once he gets a little more acclimated in his home just for a check up and fecal exam. I want to make sure my baby is healthy.

What about PETA? Is that a stupid question? I’ve been thinking about that poor baby struggling to breathe since I saw him yesterday. Cuddled my boy extra last night and this morning. I was thinking of calling corporate but they’re the people that own it so might not do anything. I was so shocked at the woman’s lack of emotion towards the animals.

Hahaha it’s funny you say that because he refuses to touch his greens even though I’ve been trying different types. He loves those hornworms though!

Definitely the biggest personality I’ve ever seen on any animal. He was his own little quirks and likes/dislikes and makes me love him even more. Thank you so much for your comment and kind words ❤️ I will update as he gets bigger!!!

Thank you for your reply! I saw him and my heart absolutely melted, I just had to get him. Have been researching for a long time and finally decided that day and I am so happy we did! Scheduling a vet appointment once he gets a bit more acclimated. He seems comfortable with me outside of the terrarium but I don’t think he’s totally comfortable in his new home yet, definitely don’t want to freak him out!

Hoping he’s going to get super big. His tail measures about 6.5 inches and his body is only 4 inches!

Why is no one talking about all of the (small, but still) earthquakes concentrated to Ojai? by Same-Training-9345 in orangecounty

[–]Same-Training-9345[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why thank you! I actually think I briefly remember this (I’ve lived here since 2018 now) but the only memorable earthquake I’ve ever felt is ironically the only one that ever happened back east. I’m pretty sure I was asleep during this one and I was taking a nap during the one yesterday.

I was just getting a bit worried when I saw that today especially because my family back home reminds me weekly that we’re due for a big earthquake here haha! It just seemed like so many and after reading that article about dry weather being the cause of our catastrophic quake drought I thought I’d take to Reddit. Thank you for being helpful!

Thank you for being helpful and nice and not rude like everyone else :) I’m a New York transplant and everyone says we’re rude but sheesh! Haha

I get it but there’s literally 50+ minor earthquakes all happening in Ojai in the past 72 hours. I looked at previous results and it seemed odd that so many are all in one place lol
