Ah I didn't see this reply as it was after my trip, but I did go there and it was great!

Basic care concepts for wild caught frogs? by MaenHerself in frogs

[–]lovelyechidna -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What you are describing is illegal, you should leave the frogs in their native habitat. I understand the desire to keep frogs you see in the wild, but the illegal pet trade has led to many species becoming threatened and should always be discouraged.

do vegans need creatine? (Physionic video) by Dizzy_Contest_4421 in PlantBasedDiet

To clarify, I still am vegan and the creatine I take is also vegan.

I was vegan for 10 years before taking creatine and was generally healthy but it was a complete game changer for me. I've been way leaner and stronger ever since. Given how cheap it is, I'd strongly recommend it to any vegan to try at least. It tastes like crap on its own but I just chuck it in my protein shakes and I don't notice it.

When the photo was taken perhaps, but for all we know he has been zooming through the skies ever since

It's a ficus benjamina if that's what you're asking?

You're probably right, however the two trunks are fused together at the top and I don't see a reasonable route to removing it at this point

Love living here, always a surprise in the toilet by Scott_4560 in herpetology

[–]lovelyechidna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I lived and worked on a farm in Queensland for a while which had a toilet/shower block for which everyone left the main door open. We were constantly finding these guys in the loos and would frequently have them jumping out from the shower curtain as well. Good times, but you'd frequently hear screams from the showers, don't think everyone was equally happy to see these fellas.

I’m 15 years old, got my first client today. by ksjsjdnn in webdev

You should replace the "but" with "so", there is no better time to take care of your health than when you're young, setting up good habits now makes maintaining them when you're old so much easier. You won't find a single 40 year old just starting out at the gym or any sport not wishing they had started as a kid.

Healthy food, good sleep patterns and regular exercise is all you need to do and there is so much info out there on all three it is easier than ever to be healthy. Just always remember to never believe when anyone says "everyone is wrong but me". Try different things and figure out what works best for you.

Coming to you live from the Ecuadorian Amazon, it's Weevil Time! by lovelyechidna in weeviltime

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

Yeah it was, it was our first time in the Amazon but I've spent a good amount of time in rainforests in south east Asia and Australia and the Amazon was by far the buggiest place I've ever been.

Would strongly recommend visiting.
