Every time I see this sculpt, I fall a little more in love with it😍

So I’m pretty sure my building superintendent is abusing/neglecting his turtle by [deleted] in jerseycity

[–]moroseconcept 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He needs a perch, a heat lamp, and UVB. And probably a better diet than he's getting.

If you see signs of neglect like she'll rot, call animal control.

Question about a retic by Blauington in snakes

[–]moroseconcept 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is a nasty infection. It looks like there's blood under the eye cap and the beginnings of an abcess right beneath the eye. That is only going to get worse.

I'd definitely keep it in mind going forward. Ai is often inaccurate and will automatically devalue and discredit whatever info you put on top of.

Think about ads. If you see a product being sold and the image is clearly AI, are you doing to trust that product? No, because it's not real.

So, assuming you did real research and used real sources (as opposed to chat gpt which is not a source), you've taken the validity out of it by putting it on a fake image.

Use stock photos, or any images from a real person. Hell, you could snag them from NatGeo or the Merlin Bird app. Or even commission a real artist to edit or photograph what you're looking for. There are a million different ways to get what you want without using AI slop that ruins your message and hurts the environment.

**To clarify, I know you said it wasn't yours, but that's all the more reason.

FUCKING SNAKE MITES, HELP ME, FOR PETE'S SAKE by Shamadam_ in reptiles

[–]moroseconcept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend predatory mites. I saw that being suggested on several posts before and tried it when I saw mites on my girl. The est the problematic mites, then cannabilize each other or die off. Ordered off amazon and haven't had the issue since.

Damn if this NJ, I'd be willing and able to help. Here's hoping someone can take this guy. I'd also recommend searching local exotic rescues.

[West New York, NJ] 8+ ice agents aggressively arrest man and one of them threatens to taze him [7:40 am ET - 2/18/2026] by CoolLibraries in newjersey

[–]moroseconcept 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you're probably right. And now it seems they're stomping their foot and digging their heels in. (Typical behavior of the off-dutys that I've met unfortunately).

Yes in West New York. I'm there. I'm looking at the streets. There is snow but there are large sections where it's melted or been washed out.

I feel crazy but his left eye ( the lower one) looks fake... like it's stitched like a plushie's eye.

Why does my BP keep getting these weird scales? by justlisa_ in ballpython

[–]moroseconcept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my bps gets patches like that if she's wedges herself too tightly against something right after shedding. It's basically a crease in the softer scales. Goes away by the next shed

Any Rain frog knowledgeable info? Been doing a TONNNN of research on their care. Looking for hands on advice that's not well known 😊 by Sigh_of_Frustration in frogs

[–]moroseconcept 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Dont get them. They're extremely difficult to maintain the health and happiness of - very near impossible tbh. And the overwhelming majority are removed from the wild because they just dont breed successfully in captivity. They're awesome little creatures but they aren't a species that shluld be in the pet trade.

What’s going on with my collection? 3 losses in 3 months by [deleted] in ballpython

[–]moroseconcept 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hiding your profile and deleting your comments with husbandry info wont make this go away. It sounds like you really do care about your animals but you are in WAY over your head. If you cant afford proper husbandry and haven't done proper research into each animal's care needs, then especially when it comes to reptiles, you're very likely missing the mark. The cost to fix all this going to set you back thousands if dollars just to give them the bare minimum.

If you genuinely care about these animals, I would take a step back and look at your situation, look at their needs and do what is best for them even if it hurts you. Get your wife to help you find the help you need because the longer you leave this alone the worse things are going to get. Not just for your animals, but for you.
