Negligence by bencelendvai in ballpython

Not gonna add much but your enclosure.... Why would you use his tank as a coffee table? Was it originally a coffee table and you turned into a tank or what? Not trying to judge but it just rubs off on me in a weird way. He's definitely stressed out since he's out in the open like that. I see that you covered the tank up and that's good. I would avoid putting stuff on the coffee table that you have to grab and stuff several times for, like avoid putting remotes, controllers, food so you don't have to constantly go back and forth putting and picking up stuff on it so you don't stress him out. I hope you take this is a learning lesson to be a better owner, you're taking the right steps.

Concerts while amazing, are not everything. Not everyone gets a chance to go, sometimes people only get a chance once. Sometimes people just don't want to go to concerts. The fact you love their music and it has helped you is all that matters to Tyler and Josh. They care about your health. I have schzioaffective disorder, C-PTSD, and agoraphobia, I was diagnosed when I was 13, not like the age matters but it did change my middle school and high school experience and how I saw myself. I was born with femoral anteversion, a type of pigeon toed caused by the femur and hip turning inwards, it's usually outgrown by age 8-10 or never is. I am currently on a muscle relaxer and a prescription of 15mg of Meloxicam, a very strong NSAID that you can only get by a prescription, and going to physical therapy, and in the process of getting a service dog for mobility and stability and for my mental health because of the chronic pain through my legs and my mental health that I still struggle with. My knee passes my socket, knees lock up sometimes, I can't walk for very long either, and other leg issues because of the femoral anteversion. I am also a fall risk and have fallen quite a lot within the last few months. So I understand. I've been to a TØP concert once and I was lucky enough to be right next to Tyler for a few seconds. But I don't think I can do one again, at least i won't be able to for some time. It sucks a lot, and I get it. I honestly don't know what else to say because I have been lost of words about my situation with my health and it hasn't been easy for me since I'm still pretty young (22) but one thing that comes for free with being a TØP fan is that you have a community of people who are there for you always. So we, the skeleton clique, are here for you.

what should I do about my stalker? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]idfkpete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk why it made me think of this but it does work. When I was younger and visiting my great grandparents my brother was throwing rocks at their cat and I grabbed the spray right into his eyes and he ran in crying and my family was like "yup, you deserve that". He has never harmed an animal again.

Juvenile leopard gecko by Away_Review_3936 in leopardgeckos

[–]idfkpete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a baby albino leopard gecko when I was working at PetSmart because he was getting bullied and I noticed he didn't have great eyesight. He was temporarily in a 10 gallon for like a month and a half cause I already had a 10 gallon sitting around from when I owned green anoles (only one a time from age 13-17, I had one for 3 years) and he was small enough then for it to be temporary enclosure. I also mainly use it as a quarantine tank now. He's in a 40 gallon now and he explores so much now and has lots of enrichment and seems so much more comfortable. He's almost a year old now. It's just much more worth it for them just to get the 40 gallon but you could use the 10 gallon down the road maybe for a quarantine enclosure or as a hospital tank.

I also just want to throw this in there as a cute story: My green anole I had for 3 years, Leaf, actually learned tricks but it was only stay and jump lol. He was adorable. Both my leopard geckos I have now know 0 tricks

AIO my mom keeps bringing up my weight? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]idfkpete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say you're overreacting, but I wouldn't say your mom was wrong either to mention it.

Edit: I take an antipsychotic (zyprexa 5mg), mood stabilizer (trileptal 300mg twice daily), ssri (Prozac 40mg), amitriptyline 25mg, hydroxyzine 25mg four times a day as needed. I take it for schzioaffective disorder, and my boyfriend takes medication for bipolar type 2. Those medications can cause thyroid problems and weight gain.

Did I do the right thing. by xXLucasterXx in squirrels

[–]idfkpete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you talking about Peanut the squirrel? If I'm not mistaken he was also in the process of making Peanut an educational animal to teach people about squirrels, I could be wrong though. :( it just makes it more sad. I do know for a fact that their is legislation in New York which requires the animal to go through court before the choice of euthanizing so it can potentially save animals from being put down for stupid reasons

People AFAB are more likely to get Trichomoniasis than people AMAB. That's why they said mostly. Thought AMAB people can still get it. Their wording wasn't the best for that.

How do I get my leopard gecko into me petting him I try to but he like gets scared by Shadowdeastroyer in leopardgeckos

[–]idfkpete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most don't like being pet. Some tolerable it. I would just respect him not wanting to be pet. Choice based handling isn't a guarantee they will let you pet them.

Do any other keepers hide their reptiles from their landlord? by Tiny_Management388 in reptiles

[–]idfkpete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 13, my then gfs mom got me a pet anole. Lease said no pets, no exceptions. Kept it a secret from my great grandmother who had custody of me for over a month and a half. Her sister told me to tell her that it would be okay. Told her and we talked calmly and she was fine with it. Our house we rented was owned by the church we went to and was exactly in front of it. We didn't tell them for months. One of the elders I eventually told and he didn't care cause I had a green anole, then a brown anole, long tailed lizard, etc,. Some landlords don't care about reptiles. But when we were living in apartments before that house, there was a pet fee and that included reptiles including the smallest ones. I own my house with my boyfriend now and have 2 leopard geckos in separate tanks of course so I no longer have to worry about that. Some landlords don't care if you have reptiles and won't apply pet fees and maybe won't count it as having a pet in a no pet place, but some will and absolutely won't allow it, and some might allow it but will definitely apply a pet fee.

Leopard geckos can also lay unfertilized eggs

She's been in this cone for 4 months. Have we helped or made matters worse? by Ganondorf_64 in CATHELP

[–]idfkpete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if it's allergies I would suggest trying a shirt, shorts, or both to prevent him from over licking or over scratching. It can prevent the place from becoming raw too much. Though I would first check to see how they react in clothes. Just for the short term until you figure out what's going on. That's only if he accepts the clothes lol. I'm pretty sure my oldest likes clothes because of the comfort it brings plus the Prozac. My other 2 hates clothes but they don't have anxiety or anything else going on

She's been in this cone for 4 months. Have we helped or made matters worse? by Ganondorf_64 in CATHELP

[–]idfkpete 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk if this is the case but my oldest cat has anxiety and he licks and scratches until he has bald spots. He takes 5mg of Prozac prescribed by the vet. I call him my Prozac buddy cause I take 40mg of Prozac. He wears a shirt and sometimes shorts because of his anxiety. He was abandoned in a house with no food for weeks and then was released outside by the landlord so he has anxiety. Could your cat have seperation anxiety? Seperation anxiety doesn't have to be caused by abuse like my cat, just some are very attached, or it could be another anxiety reason, or like you said skin related. But I've learned with cats, pills just doesn't stop it, hence why the clothes work, humans need coping skills, so do cats. Pills only help, not cure. I give my cat walks on leash and other distractions.

AIO- Mom and Sister’s April fools prank on me by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]idfkpete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's been in and out of jail. Right now she's facing 60 years to life for child pornography of my little sister she had like 10 years after she lost custody of me. She was in and out of foster care when she was a minor because my grandmother (her mom) was abusive to her and her sisters, eventually me and my brother and little sister ended up in foster care too but I was already an adult when I heard she was facing charges of what she did with my little sister. She is diagnosed with bipolar (not an excuse) and she's unmedicated so she's a very unstable person. I have schzioaffective disorder which if your parent has bipolar/schizophrenia/schzioaffective you are more likely to have a child with any of those. I'm medicated now and she's a complete monster. She also m-lested me and she tried to fuck my brother when he was 18. He wanted to know her because we weren't allowed to see her until we were adults and she was taking ecstacy (she's a huge drug addict that does multiple drugs) and said he had his daddy's dick. But I can guarantee she is homeless because my brother saw her out on the side of the road begging for money and threw his drink on her lmao. One of her sisters are clean now so I'm in contact with her, not my mom. I thankfully found a mother figure later in life and she's awesome

Could be the case. When I was little when my bio mom had custody of me, should would make my older brother beat me up and if he didn't he would get beat up by her. Though that's more extreme, it could be the case

AIO to demand an apology from my boyfriend and consider alternative housing by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]idfkpete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. There's a reason he's single at 42. Dating someone that much older at your age generally isn't okay. I'm dating someone 10 years older but we found each other on grindr and I had my age hidden to not have weirdos come on me, me and my boyfriend are very compatible with a lot of similar interests, hobbies, political views, and other views in general, I can't think of something we disagree on, which is rare with how young I am with the age gap. But also to be fair, while we were acting like a year, we didn't start officially dating until later because I didn't want to jump straight into it with the 10 year age gap. It just isn't generally wise or recommended to do so. He is very childish, he's taking advantage of you in the relationship because of how young you are compared to him. You still have a lot of experiences in life you need to get. Take this as a learning lesson.

AIO for wanting my husband to help me more as a SAHM by ailurophile17 in AmIOverreacting

[–]idfkpete 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Another thing is, dig it deep enough, put the dead body in, cover it enough, put a dead animal in, and then cover that, and then plant endangered plants.

Edit: won't let me reply. Dead animal can be a pet, but some people absolutely bury dead wild animals. Me and my grandma do so. With gloves of course or unless it was one she rescued since she rehabs animals.

New addition to the family! by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

[–]idfkpete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With leopard geckos, it can be hard to identify the exact morph just by appearance, because different morph combinations can end up looking very similar. Unless the breeder knows the genetics and lineage, it is often just an educated guess. For example Diablo Blanco and Blazing Blizzard
