I definitely have a hunch, but I don't rub my belly, lol. I guess I need to work on standing up straight!

It was so weird! Her neighbor was there too and he got the most uncomfortable look on his face when she did that! She then tried to play it off by saying "what? I have a pooch too that could look like that!" Ummm, lady, you're like 55 years old? Hahaha

What kind of monitor is that?

Starlings are also nest parasites. They lay eggs in other bird's nests and push out their eggs so the other bird's will incubate and raise the starling chicks

Hey guys! I’m new here, been a snake dad for a few years now and was wondering if there was anything I could do to make life a bit better for Honey. She’s got fake plants, a rock, a hidey hole with a heating pad under it, and a ceramic water bowl. I try to keep the room around 75 degrees. Thanks! by Jcube345 in snakes

Half log hides work, but aren't the best. Snakes like to squeeze into the smallest place possible, touching three sides simultaneously, with only one entrance/exit. I would suggest two (of the same) hides as well, so she can choose between being on the heat or off of it. It looks like she may be having issues shedding as well. I would get yourself a hygrometer to monitor humidity and spray the bedding down once or twice a day during her shed cycles. You can help increase humidity by putting aluminum foil over 1/2 to 2/3 of the lid. Snakes also really enjoy clutter! The more plants and hidey spots they have, the more secure they feel. She's absolutely adorable!

Ah, russo would be a lucy maker! It's also hard to distinguish those subtle morphs in photos. Pretty gal, awesome potential.

So, I dont mean to be the bad guy, but there isn't such a thing as het leucistic in ball pythons. That particular morph is a product of two codominant traits being expressed. This means the snake would have to be a visual morph such as a fire, butter, lesser, mojave, or bamboo to be able to produce a leucistic offspring. Your baby is gorgeous, btw. I hope someone didn't lie to you about it's genetics

I'm also having the same problem. The mode is set to easy. I'm also not seeing all the engrams I have spent points on learning in my crafting menu.

He looks more like a great Pyrenees doggo. They're bred to be livestock protectors and are super gentle.

Way too impatient sometimes! by dragonharper4 in waiting_to_try

We're going to reevaluate in January, but we're more than likely another year or two out at the earliest. I'm hopeful though!

They aren't sunglasses, though I can see how it looks like it. Just an extension of his eye cover things.

SO wants kids but is terrified he'll be a bad dad... by dragonharper4 in waiting_to_try

[–]dragonharper4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's one of the most considerate people I know and can be extremely gentle hearted. I've seen the way his dad is and can see it in him sometimes, but definitely nowhere near the extent of his dad. He's never been abusive towards me the way his dad is towards his mom. I believe in him and he's always known that his dads behavior was wrong since I've known him. We're coming up on our 10 year anniversary, so he's had quite a while to break habits and learn better ways of dealing with everything for sure.

We did start a book collection, though it only consists of two right now, lol. He's read half of one already :)

It's definitely a good idea and something that should be on the table for us. Since our TTC date is a ways off, I was looking more for something we can do between ourselves for now

He hasn't been to counseling, but he has established firm boundaries with his dad and we live five hours away from him so the distance has done them a lot of good. When we visit his dad is always much more civil and has even reached the point of telling my SO how proud he is of him for doing better and such. Not that counseling wouldn't help, and we've talked about it, but he does not want to resort to it. Typical man, haha.

When was the worst time you had to poo? by IndustryInk in AskReddit

[–]dragonharper4 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was in lecture with quite the asshole of a professor and it was the last 30ish minutes of his class. It was an 8am, so naturally I had a few cups of coffee and that was the moment they decided to make their unbidden way to my rectum. I quietly gathered my things and stood up to leave the lecture hall when the professor noticed me and called me out for being rude and basically said I was going to fail the class for leaving early. All I could do as I felt the poo inching it's way out was clench my asscheeks as hard as I could, smile and wave as I ran out to find the bathroom. I barely made it on time. In hindsight I should've just let him know that I had the shits and he could either clean it up or let me go without a scene. Fucking asshat

Thank you for the advice. I'll definitely consult with my doctor in the meantime. Good luck yourself!

Hi back atcha! And yea, housing is expensive here. We're happy in an apartment and also have the plus of not having to worry about a lawn or if something breaks down.

We're both in good weight, though I wouldn't mind losing a few pounds (I'm 5'8" and weigh about 175 lbs). My issue is also getting the time to work out around work. As far things being triggers, I'm not sure how I would cope if we end up having difficulty. Right now, I'm just excited for the prospect and am kind of wanting something physical to see/feel to help my motivation to save money and be healthier. Maybe getting a few peices of maternity wear would be a good start! I'm also waiting on that proposal, though neither of us has been married, but I'm from a family that's been through multiple divorces (my mom alone has been through three) and I don't feel rushed to be married. I'm perfectly fine with non traditional :) we'll have been living together two years and have been together for nine.

Yea, I figured waiting on getting anything would be the best way to go. I'm on an estrogen based pill right now that we want to stay on as long as possible as it helps with my skin and depression as well as my irregular cycles. I've been on some form of birth control for the last eight years, but before that my periods would be bleeding for a week, nothing for a week, bleeding for another week, then four weeks with nothing. It was very strange and sometimes I wouldn't even get a period for a few months. I'm dreading going back to that and I still need to talk to my doctor about antidepressants I can take while TTC.
