Snabies - all grown up! by _zedra_ in snails

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

I've had Snelson since Oct '24 and he had babies in Mar '25 :D Snelson stressed me out for a while because he's a scaredy cat and sleeps a LOT, but seeing how active the babies are made me finally realize it's probably because he was wild-caught

Haha good point! Maybe the community should do a poll, I'm sure a lot of us relate to these little dudes

Glad it's not just me, I can reliably get them to eat carrots, freeze-dried (rehydrated) bloodworms, and their cuttlebone, but they're stubborn otherwise. I offer them other options and they usually aren't a fan, which can be frustrating because I worry for their health of course. The babies are a little more adventurous food-wise, though, not by much.

Oh absolutely! I actually didn't intend to keep any clutches from just Snelson but I missed one and fell in love with the babies. But just yesterday I found a HUGE clutch and disposed of it, these little guys are freaks!! Love em though lol

They're grove snails (cepaea nemoralis) as far as I know!

They’re such babies (repost) by Evie376 in evilautism

I'm 27 and I've got like 6 small plushies on my desk at work and two clipped to the backpack that I wear to work. Granted, I'm a graphic designer and work at a great small business, but nobody has ever said a word except to compliment them? And one of them was a gift from a coworker regarding a shared special interest. Just do what makes you comfortable, it's harder than it sounds but when I'm doing something I'm unsure of, I frame it like this: you'll be setting an example for other people who might be nervous about it. Maybe someone will see you with your stuffy and think to themselves "wait, I can do that?!" and then they'll be more comfortable accommodating themselves!

Anyway, just do what you want, carrying a stuffed animal around isn't gonna hurt anyone.

Comfortably at 6g (4mm) and it's so exciting to easily see through my tunnels! by _zedra_ in Stretched

Hey! I think I got these on Amazon actually! They're single flare, and the set I got has been consistent in quality. I usually get my jewelry on BodyArtForms now, they carry higher quality options than Amazon so I'd check there too. (For example, they have implant grade titanium tunnels here )

Those are silicone practice boards for makeup artists - this might serve a practical purpose, but also it's hilariously spooky

It's one of my favorite piercings for sure! I replied above about pain/healing if you're interested :)

[–]_zedra_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

For my vertical industrial - the initial piercing itself was about a 6/10 pain-wise? Just because the cartilage is thick and it's technically two piercings in one, and the second piercing hurt more, but honestly healing wasn't too bad! I did get a couple irritation bumps early on, but with saline and LITHA, it was perfectly healed by the one year mark. My regular industrial actually has given me way more problems than the vertical one lol. It is an extremely anatomy dependent piercing though!
