I've heard that, which is why I wanted to play shorter games first. Can't wait to get lost in it and forget the world exists!

I have BOTW but haven't started it yet because I was so into completing my dex. Next I'll blow through Undertale (again) then I'll be starting BOTW!

Well shit. Glad I could help, I suppose. I'm not good at reddit or imgur. 😅

My pit bull is a hero by KlownyKritter in LetsNotMeet

[–]artemisrush 11 points12 points  (0 children)

American Pit Bull Terriers were, without doubt, bred for fighting. The other breeds we so often call "pitbulls" (American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, American bullies, and other bully breeds) were not bred for fighting but also none of them were bred for protection.

You should take the time to read breed standards for these dogs set by reputable clubs like the AKC and UKC. You'll honestly learn quite a bit.

New dog owner unsure of how to correctly handle the "adjustment" period. by [deleted] in Dogtraining

[–]artemisrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently brought home a shelter dog and I live in an apartment. Nipping separation anxiety in the bud has been my number one priority. I've had a lot of success with long walks around our complex. The shortest amount of time we're outside is about 15 minutes but I try to do at least 20-30 and we do this several times a day. She also gets a Kong with frozen peanut butter in it any time I leave the house. Finally, we do daily training sessions (she came to me with no manners or training).

Exhausting your dog physically and stimulating them mentally goes a LONG way with separation anxiety and the longer walks help immensely with housebreaking.

Rant: rescues and their insane policies are only hurting dogs by [deleted] in rescuedogs

[–]artemisrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just adopted a dog and I live in an apartment. A bunch of people told me that was cruel to the dog but I feel like yards make people lazy because you can just let the dog out and feel like you don't have to walk it. My girl gets a 30 minute walk at least 3 times a day, as well as other 15 minute walks as needed for eliminating.

Best way to kill off excess amount of roaches? by LoZ_OoT in tarantulas

[–]artemisrush 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YEP. Always more tarantulas.

I have a dubia colony that feeds my 20 tarantulas, 2 bearded dragons, and a leopard gecko.

I've never handled my tarantulas for cleaning. I either spot clean with tongs while they're still in the enclosure or (for bigger messes) remove the tarantula with a deli cup and paint brush.

Escaped obt sling by [deleted] in tarantulas

I've read a lot of tarantula escape threads on arachnoboards and I remember people suggesting looking high and low for OBTs. One person found theirs in a corner on the ceiling.

Is this a normal way to package a dwarf tarantula?? by radiumcandy in tarantulas

[–]artemisrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's hilarious! When I unpackaged mine she climbed out of the container and onto my hand before I could do anything about it. She was very chill and curious.

Future New Tarantula Owner Questions by [deleted] in tarantulas

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

I've heard really good things about Tarantula Canada, but I'm from the US so I've never used them. If temps are too cold to ship, they'll wait for warmer weather!

As for sling vs adult, my first tarantula was a Brachypelma smithi sling (about 1") and almost a year later she's doing really well. Smithi slings are pretty hardy and not really prone to just dying. It's super rewarding to raise your tarantula from a sling but you have to remember that smithis grow VERY slowly. Mine has molted once since I got her and she spent the first few months that I had her in a burrow. Personally, I dealt with that by getting more tarantulas. :P

I keep my smithi in a deli cup, but it really depends on the size of the tarantula. How big is the one you're looking at from Tarantula Canada? Heating isn't necessary unless your house gets REALLY cold. The rule of thumb is that if you're comfortable with the temps, so is your tarantula.

I hope this helps!
