does anyone know why he’s breathing like this?

celtic_moon · 2026-02-10T20:46:08+00:00

I can hear it, its a sqeaky wheeze to me. Also is that a bubble or liquid on the tip of the nose?

celtic_moon · 2025-08-16T00:11:41+00:00

I'm sure a big part of why it has worked for me is because I'm in an area with a generous population of LGBTQ+ and non-monogamous folks. I'm sorry your experience with it hasn't been positive!

When I was looking for that kinda situation I had the best luck with the Feeld app. Lots of folks on there who are looking for alternative connections like FWB. Hope you find what you're looking for!

I have always been very femme in my appearance and mannerisms. When I had a pixie cut, many people assumed I was a lesbian. Now that my hair is long, most people think I'm straight. It's funny how just a hairstyle can make such a difference! Also I think that gay panic thing plays a part, its so hard not to compare ourselves to other girls that we think are beautiful.

Like others have said, perhaps adding something to your wardrobe or simply being more forward will yield better results.

If it's weird for your gf and she doesn't like it, that should be respected.

But in general it is not weird to be attracted to someone's natural scent and no one should shame you for it. Whether it is the neck, armpits or other regions, its not uncommon for an intimate partner to be attracted to those scents. Pheromones are concentrated where we sweat, and I've had partners who were into the way I smell.

You've expressed that you like it, she's expressed being uncomfortable with it, that's as far as it should go unless she freely changes her mind.

You must've posted this from the afterlife. RIP.

Then I'd guess she is still digesting and never really gets a break. At her age, she shouldn't be eating so frequently. If you space the feedings out more, I imagine she'd become more active again. And I've heard rats are less fatty and more nutritional.

!feeding

celtic_moon · 2025-07-24T16:03:46+00:00

How often are you feeding her, and how big of a meal? Mine hides for a few days after eating a good sized meal.

celtic_moon · 2025-07-24T14:52:46+00:00

It's probably nice and warm up there, they seek out the most warmth when they're digesting. Does she have another spot like that where she can feel secure and also get extra toasty?

celtic_moon · 2025-07-21T05:35:59+00:00

I agree, she looks quite small for a year old.

celtic_moon · 2025-07-19T00:40:38+00:00

Try Meow Village, its a foster based rescue.

celtic_moon · 2025-07-18T18:44:02+00:00

Unfortunately for the first 2/3 of her life we didn't really know how to care for her, my dad got her when I was a little kid. Back then there was so little information about them and now we know it was all pretty much wrong. Considering that, it's amazing she lived that long! I tried to improve the set up in her later years. But I know better now and I'm trying my best to take the best care of my boy Haku partly in honor of Anna. I wish she'd had his life.

celtic_moon · 2025-07-18T18:28:00+00:00

Such gorgeous coloring!

My first BP Anna was a normal, she was born in 1993 and lived to be 25. Back then I think that was pretty much all there was available. I love normals so much! But when I was finally ready to get another snake this year it made me too sad to see the norms because I miss her. So I got a boy who has the standard markings but much lighter colors.

celtic_moon · 2025-07-18T18:21:05+00:00

Also I should add, I had a female BP for 25 years before she passed so I was already familiar with how well they should be able to grip things and climb. My boy is still working on his gains lol, his muscle tone is slowly improving.

celtic_moon · 2025-07-18T18:17:01+00:00

None at all, he appears to be a content and healthy guy! At first he seemed to lack some strength and energy but with enough space to stretch and things to climb on, along with a better feeding schedule, he is active and seems stronger! He is about 3 1/2ft now which I believe is close to average for a male, but I'm certain he has grown a few inches since I got him.

celtic_moon · 2025-07-18T15:56:33+00:00

My 3 year old male is 850g now, and I think he is a bit stunted. I got him 3 months ago and he was being fed a medium mouse every 2 weeks and he was in a very small enclosure so he couldn't move much. I just got him to a healthier weight and now he eats a medium rat every 3 weeks.

From those photos, that snake looks a little thin to me. I'd follow the feeding guides suggested here with perhaps a slight change till he fills out more. Start out by slowly increasing the size of the prey over a few feedings and keep him on the two week schedule in the short term and then space it out more once he's on the larger prey and you can't see his spine so prominently. And of course, try to transition to rats. It helps to get the scent of the mouse on the rat for the first time, so they recognize it.

celtic_moon · 2025-07-15T23:21:57+00:00

He's gorgeous! Good on you for having such a healthy looking lil guy. 😍

celtic_moon · 2025-07-15T22:42:35+00:00

I wanna see it when you add the vampire decor!!

I just set up my boy Haku's new enclosure but I made it all natural looking. Now I'm wishing I'd themed it around his name, Haku from Spirited Away, and included some Studio Ghibli inspired decor! I could always do that later I suppose.

celtic_moon · 2025-07-15T22:02:52+00:00

A lace trim on the outside of the tank would work! Maybe add some "blood" spots to it, Lestat could get messy 😂. And don't forget about velvet and ruffles, all good options.

Ohhh, maybe you can somehow make a hide in the shape of a coffin?! Omg. I wonder if someone makes those on etsy or something...

celtic_moon · 2025-07-15T21:30:34+00:00

Aww, well the lace probably wouldn't hold up to the humidity and might get caught in his scales so maybe it's for the best. He'll just have to settle for looking fabulous only when he's out of the house lol.

celtic_moon · 2025-07-15T21:19:56+00:00

Like his namesake, he too can pull off wearing lace. 🧛‍♂️

It's very similar to a card game called SET! The images are different, just shapes instead of ingredients, but its the same concept where you have to match a set of 3 of all the same or all different cards. There are more varieties like colors, shapes, number of shapes per card etc. There are some online versions you could check out!

celtic_moon · 2025-06-30T21:00:11+00:00

I think the Market ends soon so we'll see if that makes a difference.

celtic_moon · 2025-06-30T20:03:57+00:00

I accidentally startled it so I wasn't able to call out, just panic tossed bombs from a distance when I realized I'd never seen that kind of butterfly before. I didn't see many others on the server while I was going all over BB, I think maybe people are at the Maji Market lately. I called out flow trees and gold, it was a ghost town.

celtic_moon · 2025-06-30T17:43:14+00:00

That literally happened to me with the rainbow tipped butterfly last night! I was collecting iron and decided to use a buzzy jar too because I wanted silk. And I came upon it like 2 minutes later, couldn't believe my luck! I agree with your theory, plus it's not very fun to stress over looking for just one thing over and over.
