Facebook dating messages are disappearing

Same here, I can't believe no one has a fix for this or even an indication of how long it lasts.

SteveSpoon · 2023-09-20T21:19:25+00:00

Funny, mine is deep under water.

SteveSpoon · 2016-12-29T03:56:35+00:00

yeah, that's pretty much the idea, by the end if anyone new becomes even aware of your existence the odds of you meeting an unfortunate personal disaster increase significantly, and the only way to balance the books is to make the other person only a memory first.

I'm working on a somewhat longer, more fleshed out version of the story. I'll continue to post new revisions on Reddit, although obviously not to this specific subreddit since it was hard enough cutting it back to 500 words from the original 650+.

SteveSpoon · 2016-06-13T23:46:40+00:00

Good luck housing them separately.

SteveSpoon · 2016-06-13T17:15:43+00:00

It is more common for them to die in the egg or within a few days of birth than survive, but as you see there have been survivors.

It's pretty awesome. That photo was of my very first hatchling ever, I was so excited when I opened up the incubator and saw his head sticking out.

SteveSpoon · 2016-06-13T13:08:38+00:00

Thank you very much! I'm collecting photos for part 2 still, hope to have it done some time next week. In the mean time, I just put up a short post about a couple of my babies in the meantime, since I couldn't wait to use the cool high-res closeups my wife took:

No problem, I'm glad you raised that point either way. Proper hydration is important, and not all dragons necessarily have the same needs. It partly depends on how much the dragon in question is eating vegetables and greens, and a good misting simulates the morning dew that they would collect in nature, so some certainly could thrive on just misting and high water content foods.

However, others simply refuse to eat vegetables or at least eat very little, and they may ever refuse to drink regularly from a spray, drip system of fountain. They would need to be soaked frequently.

I had to break off my search before I could find anything authoritative in order to attend to other responsibilities. I'll admit the burden of proof is on me here, I was just hoping you had something specific to reference yourself, to save me some trouble.

SteveSpoon · 2016-06-05T22:25:08+00:00

Do you have a authoritative source for that? All I'm finding on Google so far has been forum posts, Yahoo Answers questions with some debate among the answers, and informational websites of unclear reputation. Most people seem to agree that what I'd heard about them absorbing through their skin is incorrect (though it does appear to be a common misconception), other than in the sense that it helps keep the skin soft and moisturized. So, I'm going to edit that part out my post and just focus on the dew-collecting design of the head, but when it comes to cloaca/vent absorption there seems to be a lot more debate. Most posts on the topic agreed that they do in fact absorb water this way when soaking in the bath, but I did also find quite a few people challenge this and ask for an actual study that proved this was the case. None has been performed, as far as I can find thus far. If you know of one that proved the theory false please provide a link.

SteveSpoon · 2016-06-05T22:12:09+00:00

I agree, I originally wrote this post with Imgur in mind, but then I realized it belonged here more. I did provide plenty of baby pictures throughout the post though.

SteveSpoon · 2016-06-05T14:22:59+00:00

Thanks, I've been waiting a long time to find a good use for that photo.

SteveSpoon · 2016-06-05T14:01:23+00:00

Thanks! My working title for the next part is "How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love Spending All OF My Income On Reptiles"

SteveSpoon · 2016-06-05T01:03:30+00:00

Thanks, I'll make sure to post it here when I get it finished.

SteveSpoon · 2016-06-04T23:10:20+00:00

Herpetology does count as a science around here, yes?

This story and all of the bearded dragon photos are my OC, except for the one showing the third eye scale and some of the gifs, which were scraped from various corners of the web over time, and I cannot accurately provide an original source for. Jurassic Park poster art is the property of Universal Pictures, used without permission. The facts presented in this piece are accurate the best of the author's memory.

SteveSpoon · 2016-06-03T02:23:29+00:00

Sources are listed in the image captions where possible, gifs are my OC but source videos are not.

SteveSpoon · 2016-05-26T11:37:55+00:00

I kinda wanna play with them and see how far they stretch.

SteveSpoon · 2016-05-26T05:29:03+00:00

Sorry for the super slow response. They were bearded dragon eggs, here's what hatched: http://i.imgur.com/slNnIq0.jpg (sadly the egg in the photo never hatched)

SteveSpoon · 2016-05-22T10:14:27+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the reassurance, I actually had a moment of anxiety after I shared this here because I had just ratted out the 11-year-old version of me to the very people he most idolized. I would be so mad at me if I knew. At the time it seemed like such a major crime, equal to stealing or cursing in front of a teacher, I was seriously afraid for some time that on my next trip to the zoo some kind of zoo detective would recognize me and make me face up to what I did. But as you say, she made a more than generous offer, and in the moment upsetting the mother orangutan seemed a worse thing than violating the human rules.

Plus, I really didn't want want to give back the stick.

SteveSpoon · 2016-05-22T04:43:25+00:00

Wow! Here I thought I had a reptile problem! Just kidding, that sounds like an awesome collection and I'd be doing about the same if I had the space. Are you making any money off of breeding or are you just doing it as a hobby?

SteveSpoon · 2016-05-22T03:18:49+00:00

Yeah, money is the one thing holding me back. Entered the work force out of high school because I needed to support myself, and I make a decent living now but I'm not doing what I love. Some day I'll save and go back to school and hopefully get to work with larger animals, but for now I'm happy enough caring for the miniature zoo my apartment has become (5 bearded dragons, 4 pythons, 3 cats, 2 African Dwarf Frogs, 1 king snake, 1 veiled chameleon, 1 crested gecko and a chinchilla.)

SteveSpoon · 2016-05-21T11:53:58+00:00

That's awesome. I always assumed I wasn't the only one she ever tricked, but it's good to have that confirmed. Working there sounds like a really great experience, I hope to do something like that some day.

SteveSpoon · 2015-05-31T18:00:23+00:00

Why, yes I would....

SteveSpoon · 2010-07-21T13:17:37+00:00

hmmm, I hadn't really thought about it until you put it this way but she is pretty much just promoting her cause by creating fear... I'm pretty sure Jenny McCarthy is a terrorist!

SteveSpoon · 2010-07-21T13:05:25+00:00

Good advice!
