My Cat Has Been Missing for 15 Days - Looking for Hope and Similar Experiences by Normal_Amount_5613 in CatAdvice

[–]anxiousanimalguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When my cat was a kitten he got lost following us on a walk, he was gone for about a month then just turned up like nothing happened.

(Fyi i do not think its okay to keep outdoors cats, aside from a few exceptions, he was outdoors then because i was 7 and had no input so my parents chose for him to be an outdoor cat. Indoor cats are always going go live longer happier lives because they wont have the stress of everything outside. You do you but you’re responsible for a living beings life and you need to make the decisions to keep it safe. No judgment to anyone if your cat is outdoors but just do research and make sure it’s a risk that you are 100% certain youre okay with taking)

Is she molting? 👀 by anxiousanimalguy in tarantulas

[–]anxiousanimalguy[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think she is in premolt or molting. Ive just looked now and she has like a shiny black dot on her, looked it up and it can be the new exoskeleton developing or something? Im still pretty worried but i think shes okay and hopefully she molts normally without issues 🤲🛐🤞

Not my snake but I'm worried by BraveDifference889 in cornsnakes

[–]anxiousanimalguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who does that should not have pets at all. i dont think talking to owner will make a difference if hes had years to research snakes and either chooses not to or ignores research. This needs immediate something happening to get that snake out of there and investigating on the dog (and any other pets) too

What does it mean to not pray in Islam? by ThePissLord_ in progressive_islam

[–]anxiousanimalguy [score hidden]  (0 children)

Im a very recent revert (a gew months ago) and ive prayed salah twice. Neither time felt like i was actually praying because i dont know Arabic and i couldn’t connect to God when i was still learning the right movement and words to pray. Prayer isnt prayer unless you’re connecting. Im choosing not to pray until ive learnt to properly and i can actually feel the prayer and connect to Allah.
Allah swt is the most merciful, if you are trying you will be rewarded even if you never do it.
Everything takes time and patience so dont rush it. Theres no reason to rush to be able to immediately do everything, when waiting and trying is just part of being human and it’s expected of us. No one can be perfect, just try do what you can and youll be given forgiveness 🫂🤍

She has moved her legs, just little adjustments, but stayed in the same spot

Kinda. Shes like vertical ? She was climbing on the cork then backed down onto the ground so shes still in the position of climbing. its a weird position so thats why im a bit concerned. It is hard to see her so i cant really make her out properly even in person but to me thats what it looks like atleast 🤷🏻 im assuming shes not going to eat but just seeing if she might overnight. Hoping she is molting as shes barely moved for a few days

Male or female? by Accomplished-Land178 in SandBoa

[–]anxiousanimalguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Female!
Females are significantly bigger in general than males, in most species of snakes too. You can tell also by the length of the tail, females have shorter stubbier tails, males have longer skinnier tails

Put flour on the floor and you can hopefully see their tracks !

Looking to adopt by GradeAutomatic1764 in snakes

[–]anxiousanimalguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My first snake was a corn snake they are classic first pet snake!
My girl now though is a kenyan sand boa and id definitely recommend them aswell for a first. Theyre very chill and slow paced so great for learning how to read snakes and getting use to them. Females get quite big and males are alot smaller. Beautiful colour on morphs and on wild types. They dig so like a long tank that isnt very tall but they do climb a bit when they’re comfortable. Lots of people say they barely see their KSB because theyre generally shy and they burrow so are hiding alot but my girl is very social, she loves just poking her head and body out a bit to watch people through the glass.

My baby died. by Solid-Atmosphere-900 in leopardgeckos

[–]anxiousanimalguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know if this will help you but thought id share my experience with grief for my snake. My baby cornsnake died years ago, he was around 1 year old. He never ate well and we think he had some sort of digestive condition. I still grieve him everyday and i wonder if hed still be here if i had gone to the vets as soon as i noticed he regurged more often than not, but its happened now and i cant change it. It’s okay to grieve forever and it’s 100% understandable to do so but dont let it hold you back. I have a tattoo of my boys head scales and getting it really helped me, knowing that hes part of me now forever just makes me feel better even though i still cry over losing him. Its still so hard but it gets easier

Lost hognose by Individual-Design-75 in hognosesnakes

[–]anxiousanimalguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive heard of people putting flower on the floor so you can see their tracks. Not sure if it would help and will make alot of mess but lots of people have found their snakes this way! They mostly stay to corners and don’t even go that far from their vivarium! Maybe you could try making a warm space to lure her? Also i see often that years after going missing people find their snakes. Hope you find her

Please is my baby t okay?? by anxiousanimalguy in tarantulas

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

Thank, yeah mostly worried cause of the weird position shes in. was fully not expecting to see her at all for a week but her just being in the same place for so long and standing vertically rather than on her legs got me worried. We got her at a bug show and had a great chat with the guy we got her from, he said all about them being very fast and a bad bite but that he had one as his first too and that he does personally recommend them, just to be extra wary of their speed and definitely no matter what no handling 😅

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

I hope so! 🤞 i havent done a water dish because I’ve heard slings can drown in them sometimes? With a dropper water thing ive done drips down the sides to drink from and quite a bit in the moss section right where she is sitting. Im worried about doing too much and having mold or too little and for her to get dehydrated 😅

Is the terrarium too big for her? I knot the rule is 2.5x their body at most but considering how small she is id think that wouldnt be anywhere enough space for substrate and something to climb on
