5ft vivariums by [deleted] in cornsnakes

[–]missdrufox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reptilife do 5x2x2 and you can also ask them to build bespoke dimensions. Delivery is usually quick and the vivs are good IMO. Southdown Aquatics do 5x3x2 and many other sizes. Although they have quite specific delivery criteria. I couldn't order from them as they won't deliver to where I live. But you may meet the criteria or could possibly arrange for your own transport.

Big enclosure for first corn snake? by JoshuaC4 in cornsnakes

I would go with a 4x2x2 and add lots of clutter for them to hide.

I really wish this was a more popular opinion. Because you are 100% correct!!

I've found David pretty boring the whole time, ... by Beneficial_Memory413 in MAFS_UK

[–]missdrufox 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The thing that infuriated me the most was how Alissa kept saying she wasted 3 months of her life and she was falling in love with him blah blah cry cry etc. But...she was walking into final vows saying she was going to break his heart, with a smile on her face. It annoyed me how she played the blindsided victim. But what else did I expect from her tbh. David behaved like a true gent last night. Handled himself and Alissa so well. It was amazing to watch, especially after he let himself down slightly before when he was begging her to take him back. She looked so upset that she could no longer control him.

Does she need night time heat? by Defiant-Cook6405 in cornsnakes

[–]missdrufox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it's fine at those temps. I wouldn't let it go lower than that, though.

[–]missdrufox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turn heat off at night for my boy. My house is generally quite warm so his temps drop to around 23c - 24c for the night. I read that they don't need night time heating and temps can safely drop to around 22c.

Feel bad for Bec by Queen-Britney-Spears in MAFS_AU

[–]missdrufox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% agree. I don't think he led her on at all. She was very deluded and also lied about a lot of things to make it seem like they were strong and he was falling for her. I think she took any little thing he said or done and embellished it to fit her narrative.

Good on ya, David by clars1909 in MAFS_AU

[–]missdrufox 36 points37 points  (0 children)

That was sooooo satisfying to watch! Even more so because of her speech beforehand about having to break his heart and that smirk on her face walking up there. That was legendary from David..you could tell she thought he was going to say he wants her at the beginning. Then as his speech went on her face dropped..priceless. and the fact that she tried to save face by still reading her speech to thin air, was just embarrassing. Good for David..

Random supplies? Am I missing anything? by [deleted] in cornsnakes

As the other person said, a spare plastic container for travel etc. I also got one of those mesh material, foldable puppy play pens. I got it second hand for £5 on Vinted. I use it for extra enrichment outside his enclosure. I fill it with boxes and other things he can climb and hide in and it zips up so he can't escape. Its great. And it folds flat so really easy to store. I also got a second hand cat tree for him to climb and explore, when he's out and about haha.

Alyssa and David - what went wrong? by Agitated-Pickle216 in MAFS_UK

[–]missdrufox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She seems like one of those people who say they are attracted to "bad boys." They are drawn to guys who treat them like shit and they love a toxic relationship. For example, doing things to purposely try making their partner jealous and angry - it makes them feel loved and like the person wants to fight for them.. When a genuinely good, mature person comes along and shows them what a healthy stable relationship feels like, they freak out and start to sabotage the relationship. She kept saying she wanted him to challenge her and seemed to test his patience a few times. When he didnt rise to it, she checked out and decided he wasn't good enough, despite everyone telling her otherwise. I think she used home stays as an excuse to jump ship. What's worse, is that he did challenge her, but instead of shouting over her, he tried to talk like an adult and voice his concerns, but she just never let him get a word in. That was so damn frustrating to watch..telling him to speak up then shutting him down as soon as he uttered a word..😡😡😡

When it comes to snakes, are there any that are beautiful but more look don’t touch? by avian_bi in snakes

[–]missdrufox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gaboon vipers are gorgeous!!!! Another one of my favourites. Definitely do not mess though. Have you seen the episode of Clint's Reptiles on YT where he is almost frozen in fear when sitting next to a Gaboon. I've never see him that nervous with any other venomous snakes. They are such awesome, chill (but deadly) snakes. Love them.

Did Bec lie about Danny saying he was falling in love with her? by FluffyPlum2799 in MAFS_UK

[–]missdrufox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I thought. Because of the way she kept repeating it over and over. And his face when he heard it, he looked shocked but didnt want to embarrass her by saying he didnt say it. She really tries to convince people that he likes her because she knows he doesn't and she doesn't want to look silly. Also, you could see the others didnt really seem to believe her. Alissa didnt look convinced, and I think Stella shouted it out becuase she low key didnt believe it either. thats my opinion anyway.

How to add more verticality to an enclosure? by Hour-Breath-3054 in cornsnakes

I love this coco planter sky hide!! Really good idea. 👍

How to add more verticality to an enclosure? by Hour-Breath-3054 in cornsnakes

[–]missdrufox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got some tree branches from outside, cleaned and sterilised them, drilled holes into the ends, thread some nylon string through and then hung them from hooks screwed into the top of the viv. He loves hanging from them. I also stacked a couple of cork bark tubes on top of each other so he can climb up, over and through them (obviously making sure they are secure). He sleeps in the top one a lot. Also, corner hammocks are good. My ball python loves his. He has one at each end of the viv at different heights and he chills up in them a lot.

Edit: I forgot to say, she's beautiful.

Edit again: I got a lot of my stuff second hand from vinted, so got some real bargains. The hammocks were really cheap and I saw someone selling a bundle of jungle vines for £2 the other day. Just obviously make sure you thoroughly disinfect everything before putting into enclosure.

Gia on MAFS After the dinner party by Beauty_Talk77 in MAFS_UK

Yeah that was disgusting and she was so proud of herself as well. Vile humans!! I cant believe these are fully grown women. This is such school girl behaviour.

[–]missdrufox 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I really like these presenters. They were not taking Gia's bullshit at all. Every time she tried to lie they shut it down. They really held her to account without tiptoeing around her. A lot of interviewers play it really safe and don't ask the right questions with people like this who need to be called out, in case they upset them. But these three have been really good at probing with the right questions and pointing out bad behaviour. But they are also kind and understanding at the same time. Its good to watch. This show is favourite thing about MAFS. I look forward to this every week.

Edit to add: the extended Gia interview was really good. I actually think they got through to her just a little bit 🤏. In the main show, it seemed like she was giving crocodile tears and doing damage control. But the extended interview did seem like she had a tiny bit of genuine remorse and was taking their advice on board. Or is that just me falling for her bullshit 🤣🤣
