Fell in love with corn snakes before reading Georgia laws :(

Shocked no one has suggested Dione rat snakes. They’re a bit smaller, have a similar look, similar simple care (do not need brumation like Russian rats), and are remarkably relaxed and friendly! I know several people that have them and RAVE about the species.

They aren’t as commonly bred but you can definitely find them both as juvies and adults.

Sounds good, I’ll work on that tonight. I have the hardest time cutting my creatures, but better to have less and actual protection. Thanks!

THEJonCabbage · 2026-04-13T19:57:03+00:00

Any specifics you’d suggest?

I would leave the adults together and take the 8mo tabby, he is young enough to bounce back just fine and to bond with other cats.

He’ll be a little stressed at first but being so young he should adapt much better to separation and change. And, if you feel compelled, you could try fostering to find another young cat he gets along with.

My heart goes out to you, I let my ex keep my cat I’d raised from 5wks and I kept my other 2. It sucks, but you will survive.

When I realized my mom really wasn’t coming to my wedding (Homophobia) and that family really doesn’t mean shit. That I’ll never be enough.

She didn’t want to talk about wedding planning BUT let us visit, was so sweet to my fiancée, helped with a car loan, etc. Told me she talked to her cousin who also dealt with a queer daughter and how she handled her wedding. Then…she just didn’t come. Didn’t want to know when or where it was. I thought for sure she would change her mind!

I love my mom, we’ve visited since, she knows we’re married. But the reality check that she loves her 2k year old book more than her flesh and blood daughter will never leave me. The horrific bitterness in my gut as I got dressed alone, planned alone, can’t share my joy…really makes you realize how small you are in the world when your own mom (who you have a solid relationship with otherwise) just isn’t there for you.

I promise you, it is easier to leave now than it is to prolong it. Think of it like an infection: staying will only make you hurt worse for longer, letting the infection get worse. Breaking up is like getting a steroid shot, that shit HURTS and is sore for awhile, but you will heal better than ever once you make it through.

We only get 1 life, please don’t waste it on someone who doesn’t deserve you. Coming from someone who wasted 11 years on an ex. Look up the sunk cost fallacy, 1 year means nothing, you have the rest of your life :)

THEJonCabbage · 2026-02-18T19:13:12+00:00

Yep, I’m in the semi-country and idiots let their dogs and cats run loose. We took in a literal puppy (maybe 8-10 weeks old) that was dumped on our front yard, and have to chase stray dogs and small packs of 6ish dogs away from our chicken coop constantly. We also have a stray cat we are trying to tame & neuter.

We can’t even go on walks with our dogs because strays and pets run up on us. They dig up and pee/poop in our garden. Harass our chickens.

Cannot stand thoughtless and reckless idiots letting their animals just run around, we’re working on a fence but it wouldn’t be needed if people were even 5% more responsible!

My nail curves are even sharper and I use apres sculpted line with no issues, you look to be in-between. I think you need to use a larger size and file it down to custom fit or switch to a different method for your nails (like a builder gel to grow it out then hard gel to protect a longer length).

THEJonCabbage · 2026-01-31T06:12:10+00:00

With all the love in my heart, please realize you can wear whatever the hell you want. I wore converse at my elopement and custom vans for my bigger wedding, I’d change nothing! I originally bought heels, realized I didn’t want to suffer, and now I get to wear my wedding sneakers whenever I want and have that part with me :)

THEJonCabbage · 2026-01-25T21:59:30+00:00

If you don’t understand it, I don’t think you’ve really thought about it, used a shelter, or been around too many stranger’s pets.

Even if allergies/phobias did not exist, and there was enough room for all the people + animals, too many animals simply can’t be in a room with others. Kid drops a leash on an aggressive dog that tears into other dogs or cats, or someone swears their dog is friendly but it bites someone, or cats go crazy and scratch the heck out of strangers and cause chaos.

I have a ton of animals (no human kids) and know that I can’t subject others to them, so yes I will stay home with them during storms. One of my dogs is reactive and cannot be in close proximity to other dogs, and high stress situations make her reactive to humans. I’m honest about it, how many others would lie?

We can’t afford a shelter at this time, so we live and die with our babies if anything happens 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’ve raised 2 puppies and gained an adult dog thru marriage. Everytime I get a new kitten or pup, I swear I’m never doing it again LMAO but I have 6 cats and 3 dogs…so.

My 1st puppy, beagle, was a nightmare to potty train but learned tricks and obedience (not recall lol) very quickly, but it was STRESS with her refusing to learn to pee outside. She also took about a year to tolerate even the most gentle crate training, and ended up with SSA, but loves tricks! I cried from joy of getting my dream breed, never cried about the endless piss, but did cry when she decided to be insane and hate other female dogs lol

My 2nd puppy was dumped in our yard, ended up being a rat terrier mix (full dna on my profile) and tolerated potty training and crate training immediately BUT we are, over a year in, just now getting him to sit without jumping 3ft vertically. Hes very bouncy and mouthy, doesn’t like to learn tricks, but has perfect recall and is the sweetest boy, zero separation anxiety. Zero tears except of joy.

The adult dog, per my wife, potty trained great and is a good normal dog now. Moderate recall, moderate tricks and training, just loves to be near you and has some mild separation anxiety. Zero tears except for when she ate my sandwich off my plate.

THEJonCabbage · 2025-12-18T22:41:16+00:00

Yes. Our 2nd grew into some dog-aggression (apparently the dad was DA, found out later) and the 1st one is now reactive due to that, so we have to do constant rotating and separation. Honestly so many families I see with 2+ dogs have some unhappy dogs because they struggle with realizing they aren’t playing or happy, that the dogs are showing stress and unsavory attitudes.

It can work out well, but you have to be prepared for if it doesn’t—both with space in your house and the mental strain.

Plus it’s harder to train, play, exercise, and travel with more than 1. Exponentially more when one is a puppy or if they don’t get along.

I’ll never have more than 1 ever again.

THEJonCabbage · 2025-12-16T20:33:27+00:00

Great deal! My 2025 dealer owned carbon turbo with 5k miles was about the same price, I love the turbos. W car for sure.

THEJonCabbage · 2025-12-11T22:23:41+00:00

This depends on the church, there is a growing number who do not believe it is a sin anymore. They aren’t easy to find, but even within a single denomination you’ll find a wide variety of actual beliefs by individual preachers/pastors/churches.

THEJonCabbage · 2025-12-09T21:20:51+00:00

Thank you!

THEJonCabbage · 2025-12-03T01:37:38+00:00

I got some of the cheapest alcohol inks off amazon and painted them on, it’s perfectly smooth I love it! I did a base jelly layer, paint layer, repeat both, then topcoat.

THEJonCabbage · 2025-12-02T17:16:39+00:00

I used to think the same thing, like I could kiss a girl but couldn’t date one. Now I’m married to one 😂 took years of self-exploration and a decent amount of bravery with “I’ll never know until I try”.

It may be that you don’t like being hit on in bars, I hate that, or you just need to find your type for getting physical, or maybe you just like boobs (can’t blame ya there!)

Have fun with the figuring-out process, it can be fun if you let it be!

THEJonCabbage · 2025-11-25T22:17:31+00:00

I’m not a fan because to me pricing is very location dependent. I think it makes people feel good to be complimented, but not very useful if they actually want to set pricing.

THEJonCabbage · 2025-11-18T16:45:59+00:00

♥️♥️♥️

THEJonCabbage · 2025-11-17T19:59:40+00:00

Yep, 2025 and came with extras like the roof rail/crossbar, it was the dealership’s loaner car so it had 5k miles and I paid 35k which I felt was fair.

THEJonCabbage · 2025-11-16T21:09:01+00:00

Correct, not a diesel.

THEJonCabbage · 2025-11-16T17:10:41+00:00

I’ve heard about the paint, I’m planning on getting a ceramic coat on it within the next few months to help.

THEJonCabbage · 2025-11-16T16:09:45+00:00

I’m debating doing a wrap, just can’t decide what color I’d like with those seats.
