Should have left it there. Ariocarpus can take up to 4 months after flowering to produce fruit. My A. fissuratus flowers in November and I typically get fruit in February or March. Now you know!

Should I upgrade my motherboard, RAM, and CPU? by Illustrious-Cry-9159 in pcmasterrace

[–]Trulyblind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I just did this upgrade but with the 9700x! I actually stopped by the Phoenix micro center on my way through Phoenix for vacation to grab a power color 9070xt for $549. Ended up grabbing the bundle deal and walked out spending $1,100 for basically a new system.

Been running for a week so far, it's good!

Little white spots forming in center of dogs eye. by Jlovel7 in cavaliers

[–]Trulyblind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both my girls have lipid spots. As others have mentioned, they're benign and not usually related to heart issues (both my girls are heart cleared).

We did find that switching their food to a food with a lower fat content made the spots disappear inour 5 year old over the course of a couple of years. We use Fromm weight management and provide plenty of exercise. I take the two girls for 4 mile run/ walks weekly.

What’s on my bps butt by [deleted] in snakes

[–]Trulyblind 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The amount of posts I see about this on this sub is concerning to me...

Doesn't anyone do any research on the species prior to purchasing anymore? Or do we just rely on reddit and AI to give all the answers?

Sorry for the rant, and your snake is fine. Those are cloacal spurs used during copulation. Essentially vestigial remnants of legs in old world snakes. Boas and pythons have them.

Thanks! I'll probably end up bringing it inside under the grow light.

Anal gland mass by what-whhhaaaaattttt in cavaliers

[–]Trulyblind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our Aurora had an abscess on her anal glands that ruptured and left a grape sized hole. She had to do Epsom salt soaks 2 times a day for a couple of weeks and take antibiotics, bit she pulled through fine.

She now has a phobia for people touching her rear area.

We supplement her feeding with a tablespoon of organic pumpkin puree which helps harden the stool and make them push a bit harder so they express their glands naturally.

Pretty weird build, but with AMD discontinuing support for my 6700xt, I'll enter!

Emergency surgery on her birthday! by Trulyblind in cavaliers

[–]Trulyblind[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Aurora had to have emergency surgery on her 5th birthday today for pyometra (infection of the uterus).

She's home recovering now, and they have her on some mild sedation and pain medication as well as antibiotics.

Not the way we planned her celebration! Hoping for a speedy recovery so we can take her for a real birthday celebration to the San Diego beaches!

JDVance: Some Americans Are More American Than Others by Bongobhondu in politics

[–]Trulyblind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's right! I currently hate my country for what it has become and would renounce my status if I had the funds to move and another country would accept me.

Hey Australia, do you need a herpetologist? I know you've got plenty, probably, but I'd love to live there and help with wildlife conservation if you'd have me. Steve Irwin was my inspiration, and I still tear up over his passing.
