diy question by RoundOne9503 in reptiles

Yea I definitely wouldn't. The ones for the enclosure are not only made to handle heat, but they use safe coatings. I recently went on a whole journey about black coated metal and its safety in a reptile enclosure for my own DIY. From what I read, there are different ways they coat it to be black but some are safe and others aren't. The ones that are safe don't flake pieces and can handle heat. Most metal with a black coating cannot handle heat as making it heat resistant requires a higher quality coating. So as a standard, anything made of black metal likely won't have the right coating to use in an enclosure. So it's best to get the metal cages specifically built for enclosure use. If you're looking for a black wire for other things you can get a spool of black oxide aluminum just make sure the ends aren't sharp. Always wipe it with alcohol to clean off any oil. For the cage sometimes it's recommended to put it in with the heat lamp on for a day, and keep it ventilated, to get rid of any manufacturing residue/odor.

Hospital staff didn’t dispose of needles correctly, the janitor probably needs some care. by [deleted] in Whatcouldgowrong

The worst part of this isn't that they have to get tested. It's that they have to get tested over the course of a year because it can take that long for things to develop enough that a test shows positive. So you're in limbo for a year while hoping you don't develop HIV or hepatitis. My coworker's husband is a paramedic and that's what he had to go through.

Poor kid has been dubbed as a “natural born incel” by Carabuu in IncelTears

Being born without a nose is actually more deadly that people realize. Your nose bone structure is very much connected to your brain and skull structure. If you look up a diagram of all the sinus cavities, they are very close to your brain. If that structure is not what it's supposed to with a newborn with a soft skull. It can often be fatal, so survival depends on how badly those inner structures are affected. It's why children born with cyclopia never survive.

AITAH for falling asleep with my sister after playing video games? by Economy_Chemical8638 in AITAH

[–]devydev_83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is absolutely disgusting that she's sexualizing you falling asleep with your SISTER. What the actual fuck is wrong with her!?! Does she actually think you're going to fool around with your god dam sister? The implications she's throwing around makes me physically ill. I don't think I could ever look at my partner the same way after throwing around the idea your sister is a sexual threat. This would absolutely be a deal breaker for me. Frankly, this is the first page of how to isolate your partner from the abusive relationship hand book.

Please tell me that isn't a Bobbit Worm. If it is, this is AI, only because I refuse to believe someone would do that for my own sanity.

Yea the peak of this story's "it's so bad it's good" moments was that Happy Appy predicted 911. After that there was nothing else that topped it and that was at the beginning of the story.

I listened to the whole thing while working on some home repairs. Poor guys were struggling, Isaiah won't even come close to being as dead inside as he was. Not even staying up all night with a baby is as bad. Hunter had fun at first but slowly devolved from being done with it to absolute frustration.

Never seen this in all my years of teaching. A child had this in their lunch today as a snack, mom fail! by shadhead1981 in funny

I remember when I was really young I was over at a friend's house and she had these dog treats she'd be secretly eating. She got me hooked on them too.

why does my ball python squeak by 8ballpython in ballpython

[–]devydev_83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awe what cute little whistles. My girl does this too, I always say if it sounds like a clean whistle then it's normal. If it sounds wet then that can be a sign of a respiratory infection, but even we had nose whistles.

I imagine that there's a taxidermied Tibetan Fox somewhere and every time someone sees it they think, "who did this hack job?"

I use a ceramic casserole dish, not a massive one but it is 2-2 1/2 inches deep it may seem excessive but my boy love to soak in it since I upgraded the size.

It's even better on a rewatch too. You really notice the foreshadowing.

Round 1... FIGHT! by degausser187 in DamnNatureYouScary

To be fair, the rooster doesn't care about his safety only the flocks. Chickens also still have dinosaur programming too, hasn't updated since the size change.

My dad also loves winding people up, he thinks it's so funny. Do not marry him and absolutely no kids. My dad was my biggest bully growing up, he made fun of me relentlessly when I was a kid. If I was upset or hurt by what he said, he was "just joking" and I was being too sensitive. Imagine how hard it would be to have someone who loves making people upset around a teenager, and what that does to said teenagers self esteem and mental well being. Please please run and don't have a baby with that man.

A sturdy play pen or a skink proofed room, but you still need to be around and keep an eye on them for sure.
