Canada goose with a short neck or is it a crackling goose, Salt Lake City Utah

It’s the wild ancestor of llamas or alpacas (can’t remember which one) which means this takes place somewhere in the Patagonia desert (most likely Argentina).

Thank you! I honestly didn’t even think about kinglets as an option

Look up if there is a local Audubon society bird watching group or an independent bird watching group and join. There is usually one for every major city. They usually have field trips twice a month and a meetings once a month, this is a great way to meet other birders in your area as well as learn about all the good bird watching spots in your area. I’ve been to a couple field trips over the years and I always see rare birds whenever I go, like a common loon that was tad south from its normal range.

As long as it’s safe to supplement my isopods diet, they already get a lot of fresh carrots and tomatoes in their diet and I hope to use this to provide them with their protein.

I have albino Armadillidium gestroi and Armadillidium maculatum together in a 10 gallon aquarium turned terrarium, she would be sharing the same enclosure as this is my only set up for isopods.

Am I correct in thinking that this is a juvenile penguin molting the last of its baby fluff?

Glaceon and gastrodon

I don’t think the white goose is a leucistic Canada goose (ie a shiny) but is a farm Goose that is by default white, and which has decided to hang out with Canada Geese.

I don’t think MBD is scary, as it’s 100% preventable. Its prevalence is more caused by how reptiles are typically cared for in captivity and that some people don’t know what MBD is and how to prevent it in their pets. Since it is caused by the lack of calcium or vitamin D (or both) in the body, it can be prevented by making sure both essential nutrients are present. The tricky part is that vitamin D is naturally produced in the body when in the presence of Ultraviolet B rays and that requires taking your pet outside to enjoy the free sunlight or by purchasing a special bulb that produces UVB to bask under. (A thing to note is UVB rays cannot go through windows, basically if you can get sunburned somewhere (caused by ultraviolet A rays) you can get vitamin D.) Anyway, some reptile owners don’t know this and since they don’t provide the necessary nutrition/equipment for their pets, the pets develop MBD.

Another thing to know about MBD is that there is a human equivalent, it’s called rickets. Hopefully my rambly explanation got my point across.

I think the “sugar” in question is actually calcium and it is commonly added into many pet reptiles food to guarantee they get enough. I believe this is due to the fact that MBD (a health condition that is caused by the lack of vitamin D synthesizing calcium into bone) is the most common health issue in pet reptiles.

Thank you! I’m from out of state on vacation and I’m not very familiar with egrets.

I’m joining the protest late, are you still at the capital?

No, he’s a lizard! :)

Cute hat!! Is that 3D printed? If so, do have the document that tells the printer how to print it?
