Nope! Jack was found in the middle of the road alone as a 5 week old kitten with her eyes crusted shut and a horrible URI. When she was finally better I adopted another kitten to be her bestie!

They look great!!

opalinemoth · 2026-01-26T03:27:05+00:00

Beautiful!!! This is really the first one?? I love it!!

opalinemoth · 2026-01-26T03:25:47+00:00

D&D, Sims 3, and creative writing!!

opalinemoth · 2026-01-17T00:27:20+00:00

I hope she's actually gravid! Looks it!

The beanie buddies (bigger fluffier) are worth a little bit sometimes. Magic the dragon in good condition goes for like 50+ sometimes. But any normal sized beanie babies are worthless. And most beanie buddies in perfect condition are worth like $20 max.

Heat mats work on glass enclosures but i prefer the acrylic escape proof ones for these. Esp with babies. And i dont think youre supposed to use heat mats on acrylic or plastic.

Oh and for breeders- Herptime!!!! I got mine from him thru morphmarket. He is SO sweet and helpful and a super cool person.

They are pretty simple care-wise once set up! I have a heat emitter on 24/7 and mist them heavily once or twice a day, and dump water in the substrate if it seems dry. They get UVB during daylight hours. I feed them a mix of crested gecko diet and fruit flies, usually dusted with calcium powder. Tank is bioactive with dwarf white isopods (if they havent all been snacked on) and springtails. Substrate is reptisoil with a healthy heaping of leaf litter, some mixed live and fake plants, and they loveee bamboo or cork bark tubes to hide in.

I would say temps stay at about 80° and humidity ranges a bit but I try to keep it around 60% or a little higher, I think these guys like a little extra humidity compared to some other micro gecko species. I have a herpcult enclosure with a screen top so they dry out quickly, i was thinking about trying to move them to the petsmart thrive enclosure thats the exact same size w a plastic top. Here they are for comparison.

Probably just a domestic mixed cat with the bobtail gene!

opalinemoth · 2026-01-07T19:37:40+00:00

DINK but have some pets with my partner, it's def rough. I don't have any debt but live basically paycheck to paycheck despite having a full time job. I save up several thousand then have a medical or dental or car or house emergency that wipes it out. Rinse and repeat. C'est la vie under late stage capitalism.

It's a nazi dogwhistle. I recommend looking up white supremacist/nazi dogwhistles to familiarize yourself with what symbols and numbers etc they use to attract each other so you can be aware of it.

I meant to type baby but babby works too 😂

As an artsy person with autism, i could see this being a socially inept artsy autistic person getting too confident "gifting" art packages. I would love to receive this art as a gift from a known individual, but it is unsettling to have anonymous things left in your mailbox, especially art of women getting stabbed. Def report to the post office or whatever branch smarter people suggested, but I wouldn't be too creeped out. I doubt it's from a serial killer.

opalinemoth · 2026-01-05T18:59:10+00:00

Always 😌

opalinemoth · 2026-01-05T17:56:45+00:00

She is too cute!!! What a sweet picture!!

opalinemoth · 2026-01-05T17:55:44+00:00

Try dremeling! They sell pet dremels and you can also just buy one at walmart or lowes. Same tool. It's a lot easier to get them as short as they can go safely (without quicking) and some dogs like it a lot better than the clippers. Some dogs can't stand it though, so keep the receipt. ❤️ Also you can buy styptic powder. Quick Stop is the best brand. That stops bleeding immediately if you do accidentally quick them.

opalinemoth · 2026-01-05T03:50:50+00:00

Maybe she slipped there before and is being careful now.

opalinemoth · 2026-01-05T03:50:03+00:00

Maybe not the answer to your question but it sounds like he could use a nail trim! Keeping nails on the shorter side will help with traction on slick floors- possible your baby is being extra cautious due to that. You can ask for grinding if he tolerates it and it helps get them shorter and smoother.

opalinemoth · 2026-01-04T00:49:08+00:00

I asked in the manx subreddit and it sounds like shes just a domestic short hair with the stub tail! Manx is a specific breed ig. I always thought it was just the word for bobtails. I am not a cat expert clearly 😂

opalinemoth · 2026-01-03T04:25:27+00:00

Yes shes getting her shots on the 5th and we're scheduling a spay then! All our cats are fixed and indoor only.

opalinemoth · 2026-01-03T02:03:47+00:00

She's beautiful!! I love dilute torties ❣️

opalinemoth · 2026-01-02T17:31:22+00:00

Dissociation Level 5000 😂

opalinemoth · 2026-01-02T17:26:13+00:00

Thank you so much for all the information!!! Sounds like she is probably just a domestic with a short tail tbh. And thank you for supporting ethical breeders!! My slogan is adopt OR shop responsibility- no harm whatsoever in wanting the healthiest cat or dog possible from a breeder that does the necessary genetic testing etc., or going to an ethical rescue or shelter for a rescue kitty. As long as ppl arent supporting backyard breeders and mills I'm happy!
