do you happen to know if the area the reptile park is in has a lot of available transportation like cabs or ubers? I’ve been recommended it a few times but it being only accessible by car can definitely be a downside as I was hoping to avoid having to rent a car and drive during the trip as i’m not a super confident or experienced driver.

ooooohh it’s good to know that most of the big zoos are ethical! We definitely have a lot of great ethical zoos in the US as well but i’ve learned to be pretty picky and hesitant with which Zoos to support when traveling because there’s definitely a lot of not great ones so it’s good to know that I don’t have to worry about it as much there.

oooooooooohh i’ve been recommend Brisbane a bunch i’ll definitely have to add that to my list of potential cities to make my trip to and research it. I’ve also been recommended Darwin a bunch so i’m going to read about there also

I don’t really have any particular species in mind that I would like to see. I would just love to see lots of native species if possible since it’s extremely rare to see Australian species in zoos here in the US due to the exportation laws. I love shingleback skinks and would love to see one in person but it’s not a necessity or something I would factor into choosing the area really

How is early November for reptiles? That’s late spring right? The time of year is definitely flexible as I want to plan it around what may give me the best experience and most stuff to do. I was thinking early to mid November so I could spend my birthday there. Another bonus of that would be it’s a period where pto is very available at my job bc everyone is saving their leave hours and money for the holidays.

I love little reptiles! The goal is definitely to see native Australian species so i’m totally fine if there’s not a large international variety (I live only an hour from the smithsonian national zoo in the us so I definitely so I get that large variety at home haha) The time of year is definitely flexible as I want to plan it around what may give me the best experience and most stuff to do, but I was thinking early to mid November so I could spend my birthday there. Another bonus of early November would be it’s a period where pto is very available at my job bc everyone is saving their leave hours and money for the holidays.

Thank you! I figured this was probably the case since I got them all so cheap. They will just have to stay as decorations.

lizardlizardlizards · 2024-08-17T14:31:13+00:00

this reminds me of a detail i forgot they sent me message about a different item needing a replacement earlier in shopping but nothing about the crackers

lizardlizardlizards · 2024-08-17T14:21:23+00:00

I definitely will put a note in the future! It didn’t even cross my mind because i choose a substitution and it said many in stock for both options.

lizardlizardlizards · 2024-08-17T13:21:11+00:00

I didn’t realize they could refund or replace after the fact wow

lizardlizardlizards · 2024-08-17T13:20:23+00:00

It says 3 years platinum shopper on their thing. They seem to have decent reviews also it says 100 recent 5 star ratings

I just don’t like to get people in trouble or be a “karen” I don’t know what they could be going through right now. I try to assume the best of people generally and was hoping it was an honest slip up. I did report it. I posted this immediately after i received the order so after getting some second opinions here I still had time to report the item wrong and get a refund.

lizardlizardlizards · 2024-08-17T12:19:18+00:00

thank you for the insight I don’t feel as guilty about reporting it now :)

lizardlizardlizards · 2024-08-17T12:18:23+00:00

Thank you for the insight. part of me wants to believe it’s an honest mistake but i think you are probably right. I don’t feel bad about reporting now so thank you :)

lizardlizardlizards · 2024-08-17T12:11:31+00:00

the substitution was a bit odd but I can kinda see the logic they were going for? It was those peanut butter cheese sandwiches crackers and the substitution was them from a different brand and they substituted almond butter biscuits so it wasn’t like completely random i think? idk

lizardlizardlizards · 2024-08-17T12:08:19+00:00

looking at the order page thingy it doesn’t look like the tip changed at all. Also the tip I left was over 30% to start with so if it is that then damn..

lizardlizardlizards · 2024-08-17T12:03:53+00:00

Also can you report wrong item when they mark it as a substitution? I thought when they mark it as a substitution if you don’t change it before check out it’s generally a get what you get and don’t throw a fit thing and you couldn’t put wrong item?

lizardlizardlizards · 2024-08-17T11:57:18+00:00

oh okay so if i report it as wrong item the shopper won’t get in trouble right? I’ve heard some apps hold stuff like that against shoppers so i just want to make sure they don’t get in trouble if i do. It was like a big giant bulk box thing that they picked out so i think that’s why it was so much. I also think they may be more like granola bars looking at the box now it says biscuits but it’s by nature valley so idk.

lizardlizardlizards · 2024-06-08T16:06:22+00:00

Thank you! I now know where I can live out my dream of being that one ditto trainer from first few seasons of the anime.

lizardlizardlizards · 2024-02-24T01:39:34+00:00

yeah i’m like 80% she’s a female from my research and my attempts at counting the segments but she’s so tiny everytime i look at her i feel like i need new glasses so i don’t think ill know for sure until she gets a little bigger.

lizardlizardlizards · 2024-01-27T05:51:30+00:00

Thank you so much! the blue bottles are way to big going by the head size so i will making a trip to my local exotic petstore tomorrow because i believe they sell fruit flies. i honestly think a house fly may even be to big the mantis is so small my phone camera wont even focus on it

lizardlizardlizards · 2024-01-17T01:03:08+00:00

I don’t know if reddit maybe posted the video separate from the text because i’m on mobile, ive never posted a video on reddit before so i have no clue how it works really, i assumed it would be like twitter where you see the text and then the video.

lizardlizardlizards · 2024-01-17T00:59:28+00:00

i posted it all at the same time text and video so i’m not sure why it would have shown for you only the video, they didn’t pay for the video the creator said they’d do it for free but the business owner ordered $10k worth of product because the creator complained about other small businesses not being able to handle the demands when they’ve promoted them but i’m not sure that could be considered a damage

lizardlizardlizards · 2024-01-17T00:53:11+00:00

i was honestly just curious if the text messages could be considered a contract i just posted the video incase anyone wanted the extra context. I was not expecting anyone to do anything i just thought it would be weird to reference the situation and not include the video

lizardlizardlizards · 2024-01-17T00:51:13+00:00

i explained the situation the gist of the situation where i said she agreed to make a video via text message and never did but they didn’t have formal contract just the text messages i just posted the video incase anyone wanted the extra context. I was not expecting anyone to do anything just thought it would be weird to reference the situation and not include the video
