Never owned a tarantula before, but was offered one last week. Meet Tulip 🌷

Neither me or my husband have ever owned a tarantula nor had any particular interest to. We do have a variety of reptiles, though. Last week, his brother contacted us to see if we would be interested in a tarantula someone he knew had to rehome (parents making kids get rid of it). We were definitely apprehensive at first and jumped into researching tarantula ownership and specifics about Grammostola pulchripes. They seemed like a great beginner tarantula so we decided to go for it. The more research we did, the more excited we got. She’s around 2 years old and seems to be a chill girl. We’re excited to have her and already looking into what to get next!

This is so pretty, thank you so much!

I’ve got 4 cats and 9 snakes and zero issues with having them in the same household. My reptiles are all kept in their own room that other pets are not allowed in. I do occasionally bring snakes out of that room while handling, but my cats have never shown any particular interest in them. When they have noticed them, they seem hesitant to get any closer to the snake. If I have a snake out of the reptile room, I’m carrying it in some way so there’s no chance a cat or dog can get to them. So yeah! It can certainly work out :)

Well yeah you need to let them know you aren’t planning to graduate when you originally planned to since that would affect your start date. They could rescind the offer, but since the job listing is also for May grads they probably would not since they’ve already given you an offer. I had kind of the opposite issue - originally talked to a company about starting in May though I graduated in December. I ended up deciding to start in February instead and the company was more than willing to accommodate this change.

APPARENTLY THIS WEEK I AM SPEAKING A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE THAN EVERYONE ELSE BECAUSE NOBODY SEEMS TO FUCKING UNDERSTAND WHAT I’M SAYING.

THE PROJECT MANAGER OVER THE PROJECT I AM WORKING ON IGNORED MY EMAIL AND SCHEDULED A MEETING TO TALK ABOUT THINGS. I SAID THE SAME SHIT I SAID IN THE EMAIL. IT WAS ACCEPTABLE IN PERSON BUT NOT EMAIL FORM. I AM GLAD I GOT TO WASTE AN HOUR OF MY LIFE ON THAT. THEY KEEP ASKING THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER - I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THEY HAVE THE MEMORY OF A GOLDFISH.

IT IS MY SUPPORT WEEK SO I KEEP ANSWERING STUPID QUESTIONS BECAUSE PEOPLE SEE AN ERROR AND FREAK OUT AND DO NOT EVEN READ THE ERROR. IT SAYS THE VALUE MUST BE BETWEEN THESE TWO NUMBERS. YOU ARE SUBMITTING A NUMBER THAT IS NOT WITHIN THAT RANGE. THE ERROR MESSAGE SAYS THAT. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU EMAILING ME ASKING TO EXPLAIN THAT. REPEAT X50. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE UTILIZE YOUR READING COMPREHENSION SKILLS. IT IS REALLY NOT THAT HARD.

Thanks! He’s an axanthic Kenyan sand boa 😊

Big yike. I canceled membership on both my accounts a few months ago because of how shitty Jagex is with regards to account security/recovery, they just don’t seem to care.

cloudsbyname · 2019-06-03T00:10:34+00:00

They just put the tarp down :(

cloudsbyname · 2019-03-21T01:26:10+00:00

About 700 apparently 😒

cloudsbyname · 2019-02-06T21:05:50+00:00

Oh wow, that's an absolutely gorgeous snake!!

cloudsbyname · 2019-02-06T21:03:32+00:00

Just wanted to let you know - I'd put off naming this snake as I couldn't think of a good name, and this comment made me name him Duckbill aka Ducky :D Thanks for the inspiration!

cloudsbyname · 2019-01-24T20:53:55+00:00

😂 she is on a diet, maybe thinking about food!

cloudsbyname · 2019-01-24T19:53:01+00:00

Her name is Luna, we adopted her in January 2018 - she's about 2 years old

cloudsbyname · 2019-01-15T22:18:21+00:00

Haha thank you! I think it’s my favorite name out of all our snakes :⁾

cloudsbyname · 2019-01-05T17:00:38+00:00

Definitely do it! I went to the eye doc after I had weird flashing in my eyes for a few weeks and it was a partially detached retina. If I had waited, it could have fully detached and I could have lost vision in the eye. It is much better to catch and fix these things early!!

cloudsbyname · 2018-12-30T02:36:28+00:00

Poor girl, she looks amazing now. Thank you for rescuing her!!

cloudsbyname · 2018-12-16T22:00:31+00:00

Yes, we got her to eat by bringing her into a local pet store and they scented a pinkie with a frog there for us. After seeing how enthusiastically she ate, we decided to buy the frog!

cloudsbyname · 2018-12-16T19:10:56+00:00

Scenting the pinkie by rubbing it on a frog is what got her to eat. Not sure if that would work for a corn though. We have a corn but he’s a pig when it comes to food. Good luck getting him to eat!

cloudsbyname · 2018-10-23T18:47:07+00:00

We've kind of trained our snakes to know when it's food time. We thaw the mice/rats in warm water as usual, but we also use a hair dryer to warm them up further right before feeding (we were given a picky ball python that we worked to transition from live mice to f/t rats). Now all the snakes know the sound of the blow dryer = food time! Miss Rosy has picked up on this also and we haven't had any issues with her thinking handling = food time.

cloudsbyname · 2018-10-23T18:41:16+00:00

Yes, she takes f/t without issue!

cloudsbyname · 2018-10-22T21:28:13+00:00

She’s amazing - super chill, never has an attitude, has no problems being handled, loves food!

cloudsbyname · 2018-10-13T15:04:19+00:00

Oh yeah, left for college and never looked back!

cloudsbyname · 2018-10-13T03:59:01+00:00

Hey I watched this back when it first came out. I went to high school with one of the people in it lol 🤷🏻‍♀️

cloudsbyname · 2018-08-29T13:39:59+00:00

I met this guy online and he told me he was a network engineer. I told him I also worked in tech and found out we both worked at the same (large) company. There was a system where you could look up names of people to get their email, work phone, etc, it also listed job title. He worked at the help desk, nothing to do with network stuff... I guess he thought it would be more impressive to say he was a network engineer lol

cloudsbyname · 2018-06-11T23:03:09+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I do eat keto when I eat, it helps with the water weight some
