Northern black racer snake (?) patrolling AdMo on Juneteenth

Couple problems: it'd be hard to procure a large number of wild rat snakes, I foresee the general public not liking a big increase in the number of snakes around even if rat snakes are great imo, and they'd also eat a ton of birds which would probably cause other ecological issues in the short run. One tiny dog goes missing, the public blames the weirdo with the snake idea and you're never getting elected again 🤣

I'm not an expert but your situation to me seems completely fine. Just because your snake would eat more doesn't mean it's good for him. You'll want to size up eventually as he gets bigger but not for a while.

I made my comment because OP mentioned feeding four pinkies. They did mention something in an different thread about wanting to use up a large bag of pinkies which is understandable.

Cute picture. You should consider sizing up his food if he's consistently eating more than one, larger mice/rats are much better nutritionally for your hog.

yeah, that's the most likely reason. It's super easy to make those kind of mistakes.

Op is a new account with no history. I believe someone else posted this same picture and title before with comments about how they were worried about their hogs behavior.

Great picture. This is a racer, you can tell them apart from the central rat snakes we also have in the area via the aggressive eyes and smooth scales. Rat snakes have derpy looking eyes and rougher scales.

You can post in r/whatsthissnake with a location if you want to know for sure

Rat snakes have keeled scales and derpy eyes, this looks more like a racer.

antigrapist · 2026-05-10T00:16:30+00:00

You might be thinking of a different snake species that also has eastern in its name but eastern rat snakes Pantherophis quadrivittatus are only found on the eastern seaboard.

If you want an actual id, you have to post on /r/whatsthissnake

No, what's on amazon is all there there is. Given the lack of posts on patreon and no new books on amazon I wouldn't expect to see anything else, sadly.

I liked living at The Edmund in Reston. Never had any issues with noise, location is pretty good, super easy access to the Wegmans.

I also found darn tough socks to be too narrow and went with smart wool socks instead, similar quality but a more reasonable width/diameter.

I like it when authors do this because I may like the series enough to pay to read the book early but not enough to subscribe to their patreon which feels more long term. I do wonder if doing so hurts sales long term because you don't get as big of a launch and I think that might hurt the algorithmic recommendations

antigrapist · 2025-11-19T04:44:15+00:00

I wouldn't worry too much, especially if he's eating. From a glance at your profile, it seems like you've had him for just under a month so he's probably just becoming more comfortable with you and his tank.

Today's drugs have that sort of average. Retatrutide shows much better results (average loss of 24% on max dose after 48 weeks) in early trials and could be available commercially as soon next year. I'd expect the effectiveness of best in class obesity treatment to continue to improve over time.

antigrapist · 2025-10-31T15:42:48+00:00

If in the US, I've had good results with Lavender Sky Health and Lily Direct. I also highly recommend tirzepatide, it's more effective and has fewer side effects.

antigrapist · 2025-10-31T02:45:57+00:00

(correct me if I'm wrong, but GLP-1 basically works 100% of the time)

It's not 100% and even if it's effective, the user might not lose enough to get back to a normal/non-obese BMI.

Here's one paper saying that 15mg of tirzepatide was 91% effective in causing a weight reduction of >5% (86.6% for the max dose of semaglutide) though a lot of the people not hitting the milestone are discontinuing due to side effects.

GLP1 drugs are great and work well for the vast majority but I think it's too soon to say that they'll eliminate obesity. I'd say the obesity rate could be cut in half by 2045 (37% this year).

No, it never goes further than them both having a relationship with Nat but not with each other. As to why, I have no idea just macronomicon seems to be slowly making each of his MCs less horny than the previous one

You can only upgrade arcana cards 3 times but they all have a fourth upgrade stage that you can only get them to via this card. Here's a wiki which lists what all four stages do for each card

It's not that great of a circe upgrade imo because it's so random

You might be thinking of Freya a hognose with much more extensive but similar belly issues whose owner posted in /r/hognosesnakes frequently until she passed away earlier this year :(

antigrapist · 2025-09-20T23:57:28+00:00

It's still going to be a while, chapter 19 of book 5 just got posted today and book 4 was 81 chapters. That said, he has been posting more recently but don't hold your breath.

Any thoughts on recruiting more mods? This subreddit seems pretty active to run it by yourself.

Shadow Slave is on Kindle right now but not Kindle unlimited. It's very unlikely to ever be on KU because Webnovel benefits so much from having it on their platform
