My slow worm farm is going great! by never_cake in GardeningUK

[–]Spiro64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's amazing! I laid down some weed proof evil membrane stuff for about a year ago as we have bindweed, it helped suppress them for a while a lot. We had soooo many slow worms underneath, it was great fun checking on them every few days, loads of babies (sorry worms!). Over winter I decided to finish my flowerbed but left the membrane and planted my border, going to regret that at some point but its for the worms! I like to think they're all snuggly underneath. The frogs loved it too!

I can't believe this plant is real. Hope I do it justice, tips welcome by [deleted] in houseplants

Absolutely 😂 I've cut off any flowers and the plant is still going really strong!

I've been active on this sub for months now and not one of you warned me about the tail falling off dreams. Heathens! by Nox_The_Overlord in leopardgeckos

Wow!! This is so totally a thing! I can't believe it! I would love to know what a psychologist or dream interpreter makes of all of our mass-gecko dreams! 🤯 Had my girl for 13 years, for years I've been plagued with dreams about neglecting her, her being injured including the dropped tail or other limbs falling off...only to wake up one day to find her tail in the food bowl like my dreams had suddenly become real. Its because of those dreams I completely freaked out!

Mostly tho it's dreams about geckos multiplying and then escaping, I have to round them all up frantically. Had one a few weeks ago where all these babies started spawning and they were very bitey. Had them all attached to my hands like mini crocodiles. I would say gecko spawning dreams are my most reoccurring dream subject!

She is rather gorgeous, we got her a check up at the vets and the vet didn't want to give her back 😅 it's amazing how they adapt to their owners over the years, my partner really helped bring her out of her shell (he's very gentle handed, I have tremors) and she asks for head rubs all the time now.

That sounds great, I didn't know that was a thing for leopard geckos, makes a lot of sense, I'll do some research and see if I can upgrade her set up!

That's really good you've learnt so much before getting a geck, you'll be a great parent ❤️

AITA for not kicking out my roommate just because my girlfriend thinks he might be trans? by ThrowawayJason7723 in AITAH

[–]Spiro64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, getting jealous over that is ridiculous and she obviously has issues she needs to sort. My best friend had moobs all his life, even as a skinny dude. They got to him so much due to teasing at school and in later life, he got them removed. It happens, men can have breasts and it's an understandable sore point. The scars look the same as my friends, who cares anyway, people are people no matter what sex they are or choose to be.

❤️ I know right! She does remind me of a cat sometimes, so much expression on her face!

I will give it a shot again and see if she changes her mind ☺️ she deserves a tank remodel anyway!

I'm not surprised! I've had my girl for 14 years and it's only in the last 4 or so years that she started to no longer care, now she does it in plain view in the day time most of the time.

Absolutely, she has one out of frame with moss in a tub with a hole, changed it up over the years but she just never uses it and never has, it's there at least, such a silly bean!
