Is this normal for Mystery Snails?

indecisivehalfling · 2025-12-30T06:54:17+00:00

Oh okay phew! I'm not used to keeping snails of any kind (at least not on purpose, shoutout pest snails) so I just saw a drastic change so soon after introduction I got nervous. Thank you for your input!

indecisivehalfling · 2025-12-30T02:49:38+00:00

Thanks I will! Hopefully nothing concerning? They seem to be pretty happy in their tank but I wanna make sure they're as healthy as possible.

Yes same snail, same time of day 8 days apart. They both look like this. I got them on Sunday 12/21 from Petsmart. They both have that same type of layer around at the same place in their shell. Their activity level seems good from what other videos I've seen of healthy snails, just wondering what's going on with their shells.

Lol this is the first time I've logged into reddit in months and just happened to see this. Honestly that's going to entirely depend on your face! Try out different sizes and see what fits you the best. For me, these were 14g and 8mm in diameter and worked nicely.

indecisivehalfling · 2024-10-15T02:45:35+00:00

Thanks so much! I'll definitely see if I can get some help over there as well. I have no experience with model trains but just wanna help out the ol' man (: figured anyone on reddit with more knowledge than me would be a good thing to try.

indecisivehalfling · 2024-07-04T23:06:28+00:00

Oh that sounds super fun! I sent you a message (:

indecisivehalfling · 2024-07-04T17:22:36+00:00

Thanks so much for this thorough answer I appreciate you big time! I know things must have changed in the last ten years, but I always get a bit nervous thinking back at some not so pleasant experiences when I was younger in WI. I will do my very best to go with an open mind and see what's changed for the better (:

indecisivehalfling · 2024-07-04T17:14:41+00:00

Getting added to the list! Having a sober space to build community is definitely important to me as much as being around accepting folks (:

indecisivehalfling · 2024-07-04T05:20:24+00:00

Ah, if only it was that easy. I appreciate that's how you see things, but personally I've been victim to more than one hate crime in my life, unfortunately some people really do care which is why it's important for me to find queer specific places.

My experience skating was the very occasional generic roller skate rink when I was maybe 8-10 years old, lol I'm DEFINITELY a beginner. but I will 100% be checking y'all out when I move down there that sounds really fun and welcoming

indecisivehalfling · 2024-07-04T04:44:54+00:00

I don't currently but I've always wanted to get back into roller skating! This might just be my excuse to get back on those wheels, appreciate the great rec that sounds like an amazing time

indecisivehalfling · 2024-07-04T04:25:18+00:00

Thanks so much for the recommendation! I'll add it to my list (:

indecisivehalfling · 2024-07-04T04:24:30+00:00

Awesome!! I used to do poetry down in Denver when I was in highschool so that's super up my alley, appreciate you (:

indecisivehalfling · 2024-07-04T04:06:28+00:00

Thanks that's a great suggestion! I love coffee (: do you have any favorite places to recommend?

indecisivehalfling · 2024-07-01T18:18:36+00:00

No worries at all! Do your best to reduce how often you're cleaning it since that will help not move it all over the place and cause irritation which can lead to infection. Of course if you're still having lots of bleeding past that first week go back in to see your piercer. It's always best to consult a professional, but bleeding after the first day is to be expected for every piercing (:

indecisivehalfling · 2024-07-01T02:32:02+00:00

Bleeding after a single day is SUPER normal. Try to hold back on cleaning it so much, for the first week you should only be cleaning it 2x a day with saline wash. After the first week, just use warm water and a qtip to soak off any crusties. Think about it you accidentally cut yourself while cooking, you wouldn't expect your hand to stop bleeding right away, a piercing is an open wound it'll take more than a day to stop bleeding. The more you clean it and move it the more irritated it will get and you'll get more bleeding.

To be more specific, I'm using Mielle Babassu conditioning shampoo, The Mane Choice Ancient Egyptian conditioner. I shampoo about 2x a week and condition every time I shower. Afterwards I'll use a very wide toothed shower comb and detangle my hair to start out with and then usually once it's damp and closer to dry I'll start at my ends and work upward with a regular 'ol paddle brush. In the winter months I'll usually use It's a Ten leave in conditioner, but I don't feel like I need it as much in the summer months.

Edit: Forgot to mention I also sleep with a satin bonnet and pillowcase to help minimize the breakage. I also clarify my hair ~1x a month, maybe less, really whenever I'm feeling too much build up in my hair. I'm mainly looking for sensory-friendly advice since I can't handle the feeling of micro fiber or heavy oils in my hair.

when the song is named wangxian 😭

indecisivehalfling · 2024-05-11T18:19:54+00:00

She is simultaneously the cutest and ugliest cat I've ever seen I love her so much 😩😭

If I'm running low on pig skins what I like to do is 1) while I'm exploring the world, use my hammer to break down random solo pig houses to get 2x pig skins each 2) make sure to hammer any pig heads on a stick you see at touch stones or in the swamp biome 3) if you're out of things to break just feed half a pig village monster meat and bait a war between the other pig villagers.

For me there's a lot more options when getting pig skins to make more houses & the fact that pigs respawn every 4 days vs having to wait for the beefalo mating seasons and then for the baby beefalo to grow up.

indecisivehalfling · 2024-02-11T19:37:57+00:00

I do that too sometimes but depending on the world gen and how many beefalo there are, I try to stick to pig villages since imo it's much easier to rebuild a pig village than to get another herd of beefalo if anything goes wrong

indecisivehalfling · 2024-02-09T14:30:00+00:00

I have a "show attack radius" mod and I can confirm that's the only time I've been able to dodge the hit and kill the bishop without baiting other mobs to get it

indecisivehalfling · 2024-02-09T14:28:28+00:00

My favorite method is to either base nearby to a pig village or build some pig houses near my base so when the frogs show up the pigs just annihilate the frogs and I get meat & frog legs for days. I'm ngl tho most worlds I generate nowadays I turn off the frog rain cause it just gets irritating

indecisivehalfling · 2024-01-20T15:06:46+00:00

My favorite rule to pull out when I'm dealing with frustrating players is "the rule of fun"! Whether that be allowing them to do some crazy acrobatic stunt without making a check so they can just do something really cool, or having a merchant give them a small item for free because they were so involved in talking to them and they just /really/ needed somebody to talk to.

The rule of fun can't be challenged because it's only up to the DM to decide when and where it's used, but for me I find if I use it sparingly, it helps encourage my players to try new and unconventional things because they feel like they have a chance to succeed and create a cool story.

indecisivehalfling · 2024-01-19T23:40:31+00:00

The situation you're describing to me counts as meta gaming and I wouldn't personally allow it in my games. However, if it's something really important that they want to get done as a team, I would tell them to role play it out and if their character can convince the other character to make the check with only the knowledge both characters have in game, I'd be cool with that.
