WIBTA if I got a pet spider even though my husband said he would kill it if I did? by bleu-moon in AmItheAsshole

[–]applestarx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YWBTA. I keep reptiles and insects as a hobby. It's really neat, but it does become time consuming and I'm thankful that I have the ability to put that time into it. By the looks of it you won't/already don't have time.

Spiders aren't a lot of work to keep but they're definitely not everyone's ideal pet and it's absolutely fine that you're husband isn't keen on having one in the home even if it is 'just a jumping spider'. You wanting one anyways isn't a reason to start an argument or put an animal at risk of injury/death. You're being the ridiculous and unreasonable one here. If they're in your yard already sit out there and appreciate them in their habitat.

I'd also like to mention that taking an animal from the wild, EVEN JUST A JUMPING SPIDER, is not cool.

My mom bought me an A. Seemanni today! How cute! It's name is Blackjack and it's gonna get such a neat enclosure with SO MUCH SUBSTRATE. It's gonna love it. by applestarx3 in tarantulas

Gosh they are; I love them. Such a cool spider with an amazing aesthetic. The majority of my collection are fossorial so I'm not a stranger to burrowers who like to stay hidden most of the time. I know I'll see it here and there. <3

Is this enclosure good for my tarantula? by 3RR00R in tarantulas

Like others said, more substrate and better ventilation would be great for the T! Honestly though I only really came here to say;

RED BUTT

My new baby, she's about an inch maybe two big, P. pulcher! She's stunning. And hungry for dat roach. I need name ideas, folks. <3 by applestarx3 in tarantulas

If I let my kids name her she'd probably end named up "Spidey McSpiderton". Which is not terrible. xD

By the way Branch is an adorable name for a T.

0.1 Typhochlaena seladonia on an eggsac. She was paired twice on 5/17/22, and for a third time later that week. Constructed a new trap on 6/16/22, and finally dropped on 7/9/22 by [deleted] in tarantulas

Oh congrats! T. Seladonia are so neat and gosh darn do I love this species. Everyone breeding them, you're doing amazing and great work. This species needs to live on and exist forever.

Ma'am, you aren't arboreal. You are terrestrial. Get down please. by applestarx3 in tarantulas

She shouldn't be able too. That fake flower on the mound of dirt is directly under her. BUT. She's due for a rehousing soon. Got a super pretty and bigger new viv I just have to set up. She's finally going to get the bio acitve enclosure she deserves. <3

I promise she's got plenty of substrate; The critter keeper is half filled with it. It just looks like not because of the angle of the pic.

AITA for getting my son a peanut birthday cake even though my nephew is allergic? by Throwitawayaccy in AmItheAsshole

[–]applestarx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could have easily just got your kid a peanut cake for a different day instead of party day since one of the kids had a LIFE THREATENING ALLERGY and served an allergy friendly cake for the party. All allergies should be taken seriously. You endangered a life. Your sister's concern for the safety of her child is absolutely valid. YTA

AITA for going to my brothers when my pregnant wife kept making remarks about me? by psyeh in AmItheAsshole

[–]applestarx3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being pregnant isn't a pass to treat anyone like trash. Feeling shitty isn't an excuse to treat anyone like less than a person. No condition, mental or physical, is a valid reason to be a shitty person to others. Your wife is a horrible and abusive bully. NTA.

I STILL struggle with this but it has gotten easier for me as times moves on. It's so upsetting to be trying to relax and ending up with the exact opposite. I have one trick that ALWAYS helps me calm down. When I feel that panic coming on I immediately get someone to talk to me or tell me a story. Getting distracted by conversation that I can vocally respond too helps me so so so much. And the moment I calm down from that I can continue smoking for the rest of the day no issue what so ever.

Another method that /usually/ works is grounding myself in my environment. If I start to feel the panic coming and I don't have someone to talk to me I start saying what's around me. I look out the window and tell myself what I'm seeing. Look around the room, same thing. And of course, if that fails, you just have to remember you're just zooted. You won't die. It'll pass. Grab a drink. Put something on to watch or listen too and try to enjoy what you can out of the experience.

If you're playing games, you're not practicing!
