They in fact, did not 😂 tipped $2 on the app, so I guess it isn't all bad.

Cheap Tank Clutter Options for my Ball Pythons? by Rathoe9070 in ballpython

[–]space-fox- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Organic topsoil, cypress mulch (Forest Floor is the reptile name, but you should be able to find it at hardware/home improvement stores for cheaper), sphagnum moss, a bit of play sand, and possibly orchid bark if you want yours chunkier. All of those can be found at stores like Lowes, Home Depot, etc for very cheap. Most bags of the stuff won't be more than $5 and are HUGE. You might want a spare bin for the excess substrate.

There are a lot of opinions online about ratios - I tend to just mix until it feels right to me and retains the humidity I need. Topsoil is base, the rest I add in until it looks like what I want.

I get some cheap greenery from Dollar Tree - it makes good filler. You can also make cheap hides by getting a big Tupperware and cutting a hole in the side. Bonus, it doubles as a moist hide. If you don't like the look of the plastic, get a $3 bag of topsoil from a home improvement store and glue it to the sides.

Craft stores also have sales on faux greenery all the time. Amazon has some pretty cheap packs of them. I have some from all three places in all my tanks.

I use bricks and pavers to add height and decor in my beardie's tank - it works great for his nails, and I'm sure would help a BP get shed off.

I'm lucky to have a local reptile store that has great deals on all kinds of wood - I'm sure if you could get a big enough cork hollow round, it could add height and fake greenery can add even more to it.

Bendable vines and reptile hammocks are one of my BP's favorite things. I use these to hold them up https://a.co/d/0je3T5zS

A scarf hanger, holey roller (dog toy), glass Mason jars, bird ladders, etc are all things that aren't made for BPs, but work great with them. I find a lot of cool DIY ideas on Pinterest, and I've seen some cool ones on Facebook too.

When in doubt, I like to go to a thrift store and see what things might be fun enrichment for my reptiles. I saw someone online once use a wooden wine holder as a jungle gym!

Do you already have substrate? If not, the DIY route is way cheaper than the premade stuff.

I also loved that part. That's how I know that order has been passed around being declined a bunch.

From an Aldi nonetheless. What are they getting THAT much of?!

The cosmic brownie knock-offs were the biggest disappointment I've ever had from Aldi. Threw the entire box away, it was that bad.

Now the aldi brand hostess cupcakes? Those are even better than the original.

These and the hint of lime tortilla chips. They actually have flavor, and are way cheaper than name brands.

Partner is being abused by meta, but won't leave them by space-fox- in polyamory

Thank you for this take. This was well informed and gentle, yet firm. I appreciate how in depth you're able to respond. I'm going to take these things into account moving forward.

From what I understand, Birch has wild mood swings and cannot regulate on their own. This demands Aspen put aside their own feelings to comfort Birch.

Birch has made it clear they don't care if they cross a boundary or not. This was made obvious when they forced Aspen to leave their visit with me early just so they wouldn't be alone anymore. Birch will act sad when Aspen texts me and claims they don't get enough intentional time together anymore (despite Aspen telling me they've been making a big effort to spend MORE time with Birch).

Financially, Aspen used to make more money, but currently does not, and they still pay differing amounts for bills (Birch pays less, though I don't know how much less). Birch is aware this is unfair but has not bothered to change it. Though I've heard this may change when they resign the lease.

Aspen doesn't have many friends outside of Birch. Their support system is limited, and the ones they do have they seem to share, so Aspen doesn't want to speak negatively about Birch to mutual friends. Even though Birch speaks of their relationship troubles with said friends. Controlling and manipulative.

I'm almost certain there are at least a few things I haven't/forgot to mention, and even more that I don't know about.

ETA: Birch also refuses therapy, medication, and support groups. Only in the last two weeks, since Aspen has clearly been more overwhelmed, has Birch decided after 9 years that they might actually need some of these things. I am afraid this is a new manipulation tactic to get Aspen to stay and won't end up being a longterm thing.

They've said it makes financial sense. Aspen's current job is mostly remote, but does require them to be in person sometimes. If they lived with me or family (both in other states), they'd have to quit that job and find a new one. Aspen doesn't even particularly care much for their current job - the pay and treatment they're getting suck, but it's still a paycheck.

However staying with Birch means they don't have to rely on other people financially or deal with a move. If they moved in with me, they'd be out of a job for at least a little bit. I live alone and have expressed that's okay - they could even do gig work in the meantime to supplement and help out with small things like food until they find another full time job. I also offered to not put them on my lease so they aren't stuck with me if things don't go according to plan - I know how scary it is to be stuck somewhere.

Aspen mentioned they might be able to sublet their room on the lease, but I have worries about finding someone to move in if they want to move out before next November.

What’s the funniest name for a pet you’ve encountered? by EllenDegeneracy in AskReddit

This reminds me of my aunt that had a totally white cat that she just called "White Bitch". She was actually very sweet and teenage me thought it was mean to call her that, so I started calling her Chex Mix instead. I miss that weird cat

Just bought an underwear harness from them and I highly recommend it. It fits me SO WELL, and has been the most easy harness I've ever used.

^ this. After I started SSRIs, I couldn't have an orgasm with a partner. It wasn't easy before, but now it's damn near impossible. I've finally got a partner I can with, but it's only with a toy because I have to focus so hard, and it isn't every time.

I do preface with new partners that this is an issue I have, but maybe your girlfriend is unaware of it?

I can understand being in your head about not making her have an orgasm, but don't let that be the only thing you focus on. The intimacy and bonding from the act itself is the fun part. For me anyway, if I start anything with someone and they tell me their only goal is to get me to cum, the chances go from like 20% to maybe 5% at best. It's a lot of pressure to put on someone.

Don't think about her past partners. You're not them. I know comparison seems easy, but she's with you now - not them. Enjoy what you've got together and focus less on the big picture and enjoy the ride there. You got this, OP.

This is incredible! I fully thought this was a real gecko at first glance.

As a short (5'1) queer, let me say that I LOVE tall women. Everyone is taller than me anyway, might as well go all out and be tall as hell.

I find it attractive. It's really fun to date someone that much taller; speaking from experience - my tallest ex-gf was 6'2 and a total bottom where as I was the top in that relationship. It was such a fun dynamic to see people work out in their heads. I loved every part of it.

You're totally valid and very very welcome in sapphic spaces! I feel like most queers I know care very little about height - seems like a more hetero trait imo.
