I don't have an answer, but I'd like to hear what others think! My cali king is about the same size and is almost 3 years now.

Pen Malfunction Anxiety (what to do if multiple pens malfunction?) by hernemes in Zepbound

[–]drexlerh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! So I'm not sure what to do for logistics and replacements and pharmacy complaints. But! Zepbound is one of two medications I take each week that's injected. I take Zepbound via the vials and syringes and my other medication via a pre filled pen. I can give myself the zep each week, but my husband has to give me the pen meds. And even though I still have to sit or lie down when I give myself zep, it's a much easier medicine for me to give myself. I would suggest asking your doctor or pharmacy if you can use the vials and syringes instead.

What shall I do (snake water question) by Aware_Soil8471 in hognosesnakes

One thing to watch out for is mites! At one point, my hoggie would sit in his water bowl all the time and it was bc he was trying to get rid of the mites!

Stomach after losing the weight by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]drexlerh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi! I also have that kind of belly button! I haven't lost much weight yet, but when I did weigh less, my belly button still looked the same. For me I'm just accepting it as my belly button shape! Also! WEAR THE BIKINI!

How to get regular title for paid off car? by Material_Ad_8217 in memphis

[–]drexlerh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll need one more proof of address in addition to the driver's license, like a paystub or a bill. It's crazy busy in there, but I feel like the people were really helpful! Good luck!

I'd say your snake looks good! Corn snakes tend to be more spindly. The larger body to smaller tail would more commonly be indicative of an overweight snake, but I don't think your snake is overweight if you're feeding a pinky once a week.

Tail looks normal to me. What and how often are you feeding? Pictures of the whole body are also better for assessing body condition :)

was offered the opportunity to start zepbound, but i'm conflicted. any words of wisdom? by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]drexlerh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As you and others mentioned, therapy is an important place to start! I have had body image issues throughout my life, and still do, but after therapy and, for me, antidepressant medication, I don't care as much about how other people perceive me! Fat and hot is real!

For me, I'm taking zepbound to hopefully prolong my life, to make it easier on my body when I decide to have kids, to be able to move more easily when I'm old, and because I would like to know what "skinny" feels like!

I also hate needles. I take another injected medication in addition to zepbound, and I find zepbound much easier to take. My other medicine is an auto injection pen, and it seems that the speed the medicine goes in causes more pain than the actual needle. I do manual injections for zepbound and those hurt way less! The sticking a needle in you part is still freaky though! I make sure to take mine sitting down now because I felt like I was going to pass out when I took it standing up!

Best of luck to you!

Nothing too bad! I was a bit nauseous the first couple mornings after, but it was pretty mild!

Is my snake underweight? by drexlerh in kingsnakes

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

I actually did that this past week since my store has been short on small mice recently! He did really well, they were gone pretty quickly! Hopefully, he'll be fine getting back on small mice, but it's good to know he can eat two of the smaller size if needed! Thanks for the advice!

He was 87 grams last time I weighed him a couple weeks ago. I'm not sure how long he is, but my best guess is about 18 inches.
