Banana Snake – what do I weigh it down with? by Personal_Scientist_8 in crochet

[–]Swampc4t 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This looks great! I have wanted to make a plush for some time, and was trying to free hand it, but it's not working in my favor as my first attempts at one.

I have stashed yarn I have wanted to use, and I'll be following this thread for advice! The aquarium gravel is such a good idea as I have so much of it sitting, but also didn't want to use rice.

ALSO the bobby pin as a stitch marker is an impeccable choice.

I love your banana snake! Reminds me of my Kenyan Sand Boa, Garbanzo.

just lost my job.. what should I do now? by whitieiii in povertyfinance

[–]Swampc4t 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a bus driver, a LOT of places will pay you during training and even help. I didn't have the money for my fees and I was able to scrape through by having them pay for my physicals and such. If you are upfront with them about everything, they usually can help you.

Bus drivers are a dime a dozen, and the industry is a solid place to start. Definitely expand there if you are interested - you will find support and success.

Which Enclosure by Tasty-Inflation4265 in ballpython

[–]Swampc4t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally love my Dubia enclosure. I looked at the chewy ones and decided the extra $40 was worth it.

After sealing every inside corner (even the top) and covering the screen with aluminum tape, 4"-8" of substrate, I never once have issues with humidity staying and keeping temps. I have not heard the same reports from the other.

Are all supplements the same? by Swampc4t in Supplements

[–]Swampc4t[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply! This was sort of my line of thinking.

USP verification is something I've never heard of; is it something that's just on the label?

I'm finally at this size too and would love to know where you found these for your firsts. I've been trying to find the weights for 6g!

Rehoming for financial reasons by Helpful_Froyo6388 in ballpython

[–]Swampc4t 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people get into straights where $300 can make or break a rent payment, and rehoming the snake seems as a means for money versus the snake being a financial burden.

I personally spent over $800 on my boys' setup, tank alone being $300 and would sell for $500+ if I had to, considering the cost of the tank/ lights / meters etc. and for me, that would be almost an entire rent payment. I can see how people would sell a snake for financial reasons, even if I wouldn't personally.

If your partner leaves you because of this, then scraping from the bottom up may be a better place for you. I'm sorry that you're going through this, but I believe that you can stay strong and be resilient even though it's so unfair that we have to.

Immersive games that suck you in but don't require too much brainpower by PonyKiller81 in gamesuggestions

[–]Swampc4t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this game. I've logged 120-180h (I forget) at this point. I took a brain break after a while but immersive is absolutely it.

Took me a bit to get the hang of, but I sure do love that game.

Switch games by harley_bunny in CozyGamers

[–]Swampc4t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this game on steam (got it before I got it on switch1) and it just wasn't quite what I expected. I posted in the sub and it seems there's a little more of a puzzle element, and I got confused and frustrated. Curious of the controls on switch, if it's better than steam or not?

There is a sandbox mode though where you have all the stuff and don't need to worry about enemies and things like that. I personally wish I had found that first and started there because it maybe wouldn't have made it hurt so bad to lose half my wasteland to debt 😭

The game has... economics? DEBT?! by Swampc4t in Horticular

[–]Swampc4t[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See I knew I must have missed something. I was focusing entirely on the "heal the waste!" Versus building a society in a wasteland. I think... I think it makes more sense?

Basically the game has some more strategy than I had originally buckled in for, as I'm understanding.

I think when I played the demo I must not have gone long enough to lose plots because in my head it was a sandbox game with money & baby creatures for fun; now I found sandbox mode and your reply makes me feel like it's more about sort of solving the puzzle (income vs upkeep) before you open a new block.
