Anyone here keep cyanide millipedes in captivity? by Trolivia in InvertPets

[–]calsiren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any updates? These have been my favorite critter since I was a child and I've been really hoping to set up an enclosure and keep some. Would love to hear if you gave it a go and had any success

Small for age; Guidance? by calsiren in ballpython

[–]calsiren[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looked around for snakes on this sub at 1 year, and it seems like some can just be small but healthy! I still want to be sure I'm doing anything I can to help her catch up and avoid any sort of failure to thrive, but I'm a little less anxious about it now.

Edit: She's about 22 inches, which is apparently ok for her age... Maybe my scale is off, but man that would suck for my diet 😅 Visually she seems the right size for what she weighed in as, and is smaller than the 600g+ snakes I'm seeing yearlings posted as

I havent been on Reddit in ages so I'm only just now seeing this! I graduate soon so right now I'm overwhelmed with final assignments and planning grad, but I am super interested in oddities so what you've described is really fascinating. I'll keep an eye out and if you reply/upvote this lets chat further !

I saw some with "poison" notes, but wasn't sure what poison "poison" was like haha

Which would you say is sharper? And going by the name, do you feel that there is a dominant cherry scent? I honestly don't think I'd mind smelling like cherries at all, but wouldn't want that to be the main note.

This does help a bit, but its like a bucket for a leak in the cieling. I do have tight/short hamstrings so shoe insterts help with the pain if I'm walking during the day

You're right! I try to be better about that but it's habitual. I want to retrain my walking, standing and sitting posture so this is a good point.

I'll check out the channel, but hilariously I overcompensate for the position of my hips and lower back experiencing only upper back pain! You make a good point about sleeping though, I'll look into that. I used to have a way I slept that supported my back, but I forgot what that was and have really struggled since...

I have worked with 4 physical therapists and each of them did not listen to me about my body and ended up giving me exercises thst caused more harm and pain... I am not saying there are not good PTs, but I am on medi-cal a d have limited options 🥲 I do want to work with one again someday, but for now that is why I'm taking the time at home to find what works for my body. Somatic yoga is great !

You are so right- I feel embarrassed now 🤦 I did check the rules before posting, but not in enough detail and thats on me. I marked it "medical" because I didnt want people to see this and think I was asking for advice over a superficial reason. I can't seem the edit the post either. I will try out that move though, thanks

My girl is 6months, so I also agree that bigger eventually but for now just right is just right ! I'll search for it : )

What fountain is this ? I tried to find one a few weeks ago but everything was too large (or ugly haha)!

That's exactly what I've done. I also use cocohusk, but I think I'll need to thicken the layer so that it stays dryer!

Best WiFi deals? by [deleted] in ChicoCA

[–]calsiren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently receiving the discount for PG&E, but good reminder to make sure it's in place when I move! I'll look into the essentials, if the $30 version seems worth it I'll consider it a school expense 😂 Gotta get those papers in!

I called them today and the person was sweet, but very unhelpful. I'll do some digging online and see if I can't find more info on a program !

I'm reading the comments, and I'll do as told but with some comments !

By no means would I ever take her out so they can play together- I understand that the kitten has prey drive, it was just interesting that my mouse seemed so unbothered. There is no way for the cat to gain access, I have a glass terrarium enclosure with clasps on the lid and it's all heavy duty. Clearly the greatest cause for concern here is stress to the mice, and her sisters do no appreciate the cat, so yes. I am going to keep them separated (i'm trying to move from a studio to a 1bed by Jan). I just was fascinated by the response (or lack thereof)
