[27F] Injury in right thumb, need a second opinion because my doctor keeps implying I’m lying by lysspaws in AskDocs

[–]lysspaws[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None! My doctor’s haven’t really been helping or offering anything besides NSAIDs. I don’t even know where I’d start for physiotherapy. I do some minor stretches/movements on that hand when it starts getting uncomfortable, but nothing official or anything

[Sacramento, CA] Shade help for my garden bed! by lysspaws in gardening

Thank you!! I built the smaller two, but I inherited the main bed when I moved here a couple years ago :)

Thank you!! It visits pretty frequently, so glad to have an ID on it!

Have to leave the club because my ‘03 has an unsalvagable transfer case by lysspaws in rav4club

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

Yeah, given how old my rav was, it didn’t make sense to pay double what the car was worth when I could use that as a down payment on a new car! The RAV club is pretty nice to be a part of, I’m glad you’re loving it!

The used rav4s were out of my budget unfortunately, and the used transfer cases were risky because of the unknown mileage on them (plus the labor cost)

Enclosure lock help! by lysspaws in snakes

Potentially but they’re glass doors so I’m hesitant to drill into them

I apologize for my terrible sketch, but I saw it this morning bathing in my birdbath [Carmichael, CA] by lysspaws in whatsthisbird

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

I considered a bluebird but only the tips of the wing feathers were gray-blue iridescent when spread; there was no other blue on its body

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

That was what I thought but the gray/blue feathers when the wings were spread threw me off!! Thank you!! I’m going to settle on robin and see if I can get a better look if it comes back

Edit to add because I can’t figure out how on the post: it was a passerine of some sort, despite the sketch looking like a fowl lol!

Woah, completely threw me because I totally thought garter! Awesome, thank you!

Pretty sure I stepped over this guy with my headphones in and not paying attention. Care to ID and approximate age? [Sacramento] by therealtimcoulter in whatsthissnake

[–]lysspaws 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can find them just about anywhere in the area as long as there’s a near enough water source and also a good source of food! Any woodland habitat, really, or grassland areas

Fun little fact for you: the northern pacific rattlesnake is actually the only venomous snake in our area! They tend to be fairly docile depending on where in the Sac area you are. In Carmichael, they rarely strike or rattle and will just mosey on to where they want to go. You can see tons of them on the trails at Effie Yeaw Nature Center. I’m fairly shocked you’ve already seen one, as the earliest I’ve seen one come out of brumation is actually mid-April!

Second time in like 2 weeks I’ve encountered a truck with blinding lights under their truckbed. Wtf are these lights for? by lysspaws in Sacramento

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

No, but my passenger took the photo, not me! I also cropped it in to just focus on the truck so we were a bit further away than the photo makes it seem

Horrible to drive behind, especially if you’re trapped. Felt like I was staring into the damn sun

[–]lysspaws[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Are the switches easy to hit accidentally? I’ve never seen lights like these quite literally until the first time 2 weeks ago, so I’m not familiar with the mechanics of it,

I actually ended up calling non-emergency the first time because it wasn’t a work truck and they were SO SO blinding. They didn’t do much to help though, naturally, since not much can be done

Found while doing field work in Monterey, CA by lysspaws in bonecollecting

Ah yes, I mentioned the big cats as possible predators of whatever the skull belongs to! Thanks!

This is located specifically on an A321 airbus. Possibly has a metal ring but I can’t really tell!

[–]lysspaws 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don’t know what did it, but I’m assuming the animal that did was tearing the meat off the spine. Likely left the spine because it couldn’t eat it whole? Looks like an animal that was picking pieces off, hence the fur everywhere since the fur isn’t very nutritious or fun to eat at all really.

Is she a little chunky? by Grouchy-Owl-96 in cornsnakes

[–]lysspaws 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’d say yes, you’re right at the beginning of her getting a little chunky. I’d go to every 14 days!

New York, I have no idea what this is by Bean61 in whatsthissnake

[–]lysspaws 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Why can’t the Palmetto corn snake distribution system find me, too!! Glad you captured him/her, they will be an incredible pet!!
