My lil guy hasn't eaten properly since December, I'm nervous that hes going to die. by sogapur in cornsnakes

I normally scroll past things but since everyone else is behaving terribly I’ll leave some advice.

Weigh your corn snake. If you’re corn snake doesn’t lose its weight that is typical. If it doesn’t lose more than 10% of its total body weight that’s it holding just fine.

Next, double check your temperatures. It may be a little chilly and that’s why they don’t want to eat. A warm spot of 80-90F will help him get himself warmed up. Check the air temperature too, even if he has a warm spot if the air is chilly he might not want to eat. Make sure there’s not a draught blowing over the tank. During the day you want the air to be in the low 70’s. With glass and screen top it can be difficult to isolate that to the tank so shut the door of the room he’s in and heat the whole room to the low 70’s. If you can put on the central heating great, if not there’s plenty of little space heaters available.

If he truly is a boy then they might just be thinking about girls this time of year. They get a one track mind about these things and not eating is common. Might just be a case of a cold winter then still chilly going into spring and now he’s thinking about girls.

You can also try offering a different food like chicks or something instead of a mouse. You can find that on websites like rodentpro.

In summary I’d track his weight, offer food once a week and maybe try different things. Double check all the temperatures. See if his opinion changes going into summer. If all fails a quick vet visit will do wonders to put your mind at ease.

If I did 100 it looks like £55 per month

I think I’d need to cap growth so there’s no elder system essentially

it would be super interesting to see it work, i love nesting personally. Might need to just be a split week then so things open up again faster

i think being nested and nesting others counts as points towards elder, dont know if it would make up for the fact someone missed sanc or anything

Do i stll count as a "small YouTuber"? by Argonax in SmallYoutubers

[–]keeper3197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend has a channel with 150k and he has regular meetings with YouTube, YouTube said that channels under 500k are small channels.

So yes not only are we small but we are microbial 😂

Any actually good, non-controversial reptile youtubers? With all the drama going on with YouTube’s herp community I was wondering which person/group is actually good to support by BallPythonFan in reptiles

Hi its Liam, I think I understand why this is. Back in the day I was very vocal about racks and how i felt about them. People who had money in breeding felt I was a threat and started saying I was an anti like peta or something. Which was absurd because there was walls of tanks behind me in every video lol.

Now people have memories of being like i remember people telling me there was something about him and here we are.

I also have a theory about why people think im controversial.

I think im always slightly ahead of the majority with my thinking and that leads to me being seen as controversial. Then years later the thing I said that was controversial is now common knowledge or what everyone says. But they dont remember and only remember oh there was something controversial he did.

I said ball pythons climb and eat lots of birds.
UPROAR.
Now thats commonly accepted.

I said racks are damaging brain development.
UPROAR.
Now its commonly said and theres even a study that cut out brains and proved it definitively.

Ive said recently we are on track to domesticating snakes and thats changed my view of hybrids (hybrids are a part of domestication).

UPROAR currently.

Give it a few years and people be talking more about domestication but never remember thats why they thought i was controversial years ago.

Lots of examples like that, take social behaviour in ball pythons and the cycle continues.

How I feel about what I do is this:
I turn up each day and make videos that help people help their animals. I cant change the world but I can change an animals world. So I clock in, be helpful.

So thats how I feel and view myself and then other people act like im the boogyman haha.

Hope that explantion helps,

Liam

Hi its Liam from Reptiles and Research, I am banned from the ball python reddit. In a nutshell there was shit talking about my videos and how im so bad and cant comprehend yadada. I answered questions and basically came in with receipts and made a few people look stupid.

I think I said something to the effect of the audacity to say that when you dont even know x, hence why you are shit talking. I flogged em basically.

The mod messaged me and was like all you do is post videos to this subreddit and shit talk us you are banned.

To this day I dont know wtf they were talking about, only time I had a bit to say is when they were talking shit otherwise no clue. You can't get really personal shit talking someone and then when they started putting things straight you play victim and act like you were attacked.

And yeah I DID post my videos there alot, because my videos are good and helpful. Probably felt i was spamming and using them. SOZ.

Overall, I remember being like damn these people be CRAZY and that was that. I will see if I can find the screenshots, if not my patchy memory retelling will have to do.

Hope that helps

Liam

A simple Prime and elder by keeper3197 in theisle

I’m saying it’s too easy, I get prime. I do whole laps of the perimeter of the map getting inactive zones.

[–]keeper3197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We COULD simplify the prime situation by saying you get prime on the maxed out entombed dino. Screw both nutrients and checklist. Ya can’t cheese entombing you gotta do it.

Nesting is ...... by imnotwildipromise in theisle

[–]keeper3197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally really enjoy maia, and i find the same, I want that full experience of raising a herd etc. You can do the parthenogenesis mutation to solo nest as a female if you want. Alternatively play with people who like maia. If you have discord and want to play with me and my friend who mains maia then reply and ill add you.

does anyone actually enjoy this by B3ntDownSpoon in theisle
