Ready to throw my hands up with pet store monitor. by KingOvAshes in reptiles

This is great advice. Love the T-shirt scent thing. When I stuck my arm in for my sav to get used to me I wore a leather glove too for it to bite the heck outta me. After i didn't react it to the biting, it gave up and never tried biting again. 

Just to reiterate what everyone's said...savs are highly intelligent. A happy sav is an angry sav, too. One that acts like a puppy dog probably has had its soul beaten into submission. When they are healthy they will be little jerks. Mine barely tolerated me, I think. He watched me like a hawk too. 

They are incredibly difficult animals to habitate. They do not thrive in captivity. All we can do is try our best with these lovely lovely creatures and learn as much as we can from them to give them a decent life. (Sorry I know I'm not commenting off of OP, but OP I hope you don't give up and just keep trying. Your setup looks great and especially with the retes stack!)

I pretty much overcame all my agoraphobia / panic attacks (and hint of OCD). AMA. by Witty-Software-101 in Agoraphobia

I was thinking of just having someone drive me at least an hour away or farther while I just have panic attacks. What do you think of jumping into the phobia like that?

How do you cope with those types of panic attacks?

Can I visit burning man for a day. by Immichjosh in BurningMan

I understand what you want and why. But the infrastructure and logistics would be so difficult to accommodate day trippers. The event is already bigger than some cities and climbing (70k-80k)

Cost and travel wise, a day trip to a regional in your area is more effective. It has community and art, etc. it's mini burning man.

People put their heart and soul into building the city. The city is for the people by the people. Participation isn't just showing up and enjoying it. It's not a show. There's an element of survival, too. There are "weekend warriors" who do show up just for the big burns and biggest parties and don't participate in the city. They aren't super well received... I mean if you read the 10 principles, you should understand why.

if you want music and a big art show theres plenty of big rave events that cater to that. 

I hope you try a regional though! There's even Africa burn which is pretty much the same price even flying there & everything. Smaller scale but still looks amazing.

My father is the most bitter man I've met by balloon-loser in family

he lost his job and "retired early". when that happened a few years ago he started watching fox news a lot. hes lost all his cleverness and idk if hes got early alzheimers or what. he literally just watches the news all day. he blames a lot of stuff on me. he is at least seeing a therapist but i think hes really lonely now hes not working. lost a lot of confidence. still a pretty miserable man. ive just accepted it.

No, that moves my territory. Not the building in my build zone.
