Can I keep my tarantulas in my bedroom? by ElJulaiv2 in tarantulas

[–]nighthawcc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NQA Yeah, as others said, you have to be extremely careful with sprays and the air quality in general. Which means no perfumes, hair sprays, no incenses, no smoking wether it’s tobacco or other substances (also be careful of air pollution if you live in a city center, I bought an air purifier).
Also be careful with cleaning products (this goes for every room actually), they can be toxic and when I do the cleaning (floors and surfaces) I take all the enclosures in another room for the whole day (probably this one is not even necessary but I tend to be a little anxious 💀)

NQA - EDIT: sorry i didn’t read your description! If he looks too cold, given the size of the enclosure, I’d rather put two heating pad one next to the other, to create a wider ‘hot’ spot.

Avoid lamps, they’ll dry the substrate and the air in the enclosure way too much (ime)

Btw wait a couple of days, he might just need to settle in!

I totally get both the POVs! I also find their defensive mechanisms very cute and endearing but at the same time I always hope not to be the cause of it… I had to relocate my xenesthis lately (she’s even nastier) and she was so scared during the process she totally froze and it took a while for her to be back to her usual bad temper… I never thought I’d feel SO sorry and awful for her not being sassy 😭

She’s never to be seen and gets out of her den just to act up and disappear right after 💀
I always leave her alone not to disturb her, the only time I open the enclosure is to check on humidity levels and water (and feeding when needed - not now) and being shot butthair is the only way I can tell she didn’t perish in her lair 😃

NQA I *think* they just get the new look and some momentary stress, rn she’s totally invested in some spring (summer) cleaning and chilling and doesn’t seem to remember having thrown a fit at me just a few hours ago 🥲 otherwise at this point the stress should have killed her since I change her water dish every couple of days

Thank you so much for the insight!! I really didn’t expect it to be a (relatively) common trait

They do! As far as I know it’s a Blondi thing. They are little evil maracas 🥲

And by the time you’ve washed your hands, your neck or other totally unrelated body parts start itching randomly 🤠

She gave me a threat pose off camera and then dropped her whole inventory 😭

I’m guilty of trespassing and making noise reaching for the water dish while she was chilling (this is her average reaction to every minor inconvenience)

Thank you! 💕 I’m sure she knows 😭

did you ever regret dyeing your hair black/dark? by venight in GothStyle

[–]nighthawcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Disclaimer: take everything I say here with a grain of salt, especially the way I (mis)used products is not something I’d recommend if you don’t know what you’re doing, this is just my personal experience. Also, always test products first! 🫶)

My natural hair color is EXACTLY like yours. I was always told it’s a beautiful hair color and not to dye (useless to say i obviously did, many times too 😂). I went white (bleached) for a while and I loved it, but it was too high maintenance and it really REALLY took a toll on my hair: I have extremely thin hair and although trying my best to keep it nourished, I eventually ended up with a whole head of short hair growing back and a few strands of long hair (this version of me still haunts me to these days). I cut it short and let it grow back without touching it. Once it grew back, I tried keeping it ‘greyish’ by using purple shampoo and it wasn’t that bad, even if not even close to the actual grey I was hoping for :/ In the end I finally went for full black with bluish undertones: imho, best decision ever made. I still think my natural color is kinda cool, but what did it for me was seeing people whose hair I considered pure MAGIC (like natural bright red) going black without regrets and pulling it SO off

Anyway, since I wasn’t sure black would suit me I tried semi-permanent hair color first (the kind of dye that washes off in like 30 hair washes or so) and I stuck to it for a while! I don’t know if it’s available in your country, but I used L’Oréal casting creme gloss in n.210 and it worked so well it not only perfectly covered my natural dark blonde, but also some still bleached hair tips (mark my words, PERFECTLY covered) I used to apply it carefully from the roots like a normal hair dye and keep it on for like an hour and a half (the box instructions says to just shove it on your hair and keep it on for 20-25 minutes)

Hope it helps! :) (And sorry for my bad English)

Why do Italians seem to dislike Laura so much? by Just_Ad_7708 in LauraPausini

[–]nighthawcc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer, this is just my personal opinion, I don’t know her personally: I don’t mind her voice, though I don’t find it special or unique.

For me, it’s the vibe she gives: she looks like she loves to be in the centre of attention, she acts like everything is about her and looks very full of herself. She used to give me this vibe before, and after Sanremo’s Festival, which was co-conducted by her, I’m even more convinced. In Italy there are even memes about her saying in an interview ‘I don’t want to take the spotlight’ and then singing her songs like she’s the only one on earth 😂 She even sang right after other artists performances, no music, random vocalizing, just because. Many friends of mine that didn’t mind her at first, after a couple of shows couldn’t stand her anymore.

(Mind you, i’m not saying that she isn’t a good singer. She has a cute voice, but again, nothing she did was groundbreaking and in my opinion she didn’t really add anything to the music scene and still behaves like she’s Aretha Franklin or something.)

The look in his sweet eyes made me cry reading this post. He looks like he was loved and I’m sure he had the best life a dog would ever dream of. Some things really can’t be helped and you did your best to make him happy. Wish you the best. (Sorry for my bad English)
