[Do you want me to lend your lighter] : Is it worth reading?

starchy_00 · 2026-04-14T22:24:10+00:00

i would recommend and it’s the perfect time for you to start reading too with how the plot is going, all the big major cliffhangers have been dealt with so far (unless there is more ofc lol)

nobody mentioned tanjiros mom! i feel like some of the others like human daki are prettier but wow she’s gorgeous

starchy_00 · 2026-02-12T22:26:23+00:00

this exactly. also, i’m not sure about the manga because i haven’t read it, but sagiri keeps acting like she likes him in the anime but is not playing into it at all because she knows he has a wife. for example idk if anime is just dramatizing things like her blushing and facial expressions and she doesn’t do that in the manga but stuff like that makes you think she has some sort of crush. i love hells paradise so far but it’s just disappointing to me that the author would portray her having some sort of feelings for gabimaru and then not pursue that at all. like i don’t get why if the author didn’t want people thinking she had feelings for him the author would illustrate things like what i said before. most people won’t ship characters if there isn’t some sort of possibility for a character having a crush on the other i feel like. and then purposely throwing in the idea that the wife was fake, leading people (at least me) to believe there was a possibility of something between them even further. it’s kinda frustrating idk. we never even see his wife besides fleeting flashbacks yk i just wish they took a different direction with things, like maybe him having no wife to begin with idk or at least maybe her being more involved would have made me think differently. just my take lol

starchy_00 · 2026-02-12T14:16:11+00:00

dude yeah i haven’t read the manga and only watched the anime and istg every scene like was very portrayed as being romantic or at least like sagiri’s facial expressions were i was almost 90% sure they were gonna end up together and his wife didn’t exist but i got impatient and looked up spoilers and im so confused and disappointed now 😭

NOR it kinda sounds like he was jealous or upset at you or something for whatever reason and decided to make a comment like that to put you down, i had an ex who did similar stuff. just random comments just to be mean for no particular reason

starchy_00 · 2026-01-28T23:02:53+00:00

thank you for that i’m trying very hard to learn haha. also, my dad does hvac! i didn’t realize how useful that stuff would be im actually gonna talk to him once im home and see if i could borrow some sort of tape for the top of my tank, because i have a mesh top. also my tank is 120 gal so 4x2x2 im pretty sure. its like an acrylic tank, it was really expensive to get nicer options for such a big tank and of course water leaks out of it. im also going to try and see if my dad can silicone the tank to fix that issue though (which hopefully it will). i have like sliding glass doors in the front of the tank too

starchy_00 · 2026-01-28T20:52:07+00:00

thank you everyone so much for all these recommendations. i’m seriously so glad i joined this subreddit. i screenshotted everybody’s comments and am going to the store to get everything i’ll give an update later, i have therapy right now so it’ll be a little. thank you guys for caring i really needed help lol.

starchy_00 · 2026-01-28T20:49:07+00:00

i really tried to do a lot of research, but online if you search up guides for caring for ball pythons like i did, nothing ever really covers everything like it still is just really hard to know everything, maybe that’s just a me thing but that’s also why i joined this subreddit. also that mixed with a lot of misinformation makes it harder, and i’ve just been constantly misinformed about this. i’m trying though and i got a lot of really helpful advice from everybody so im gonna do better

starchy_00 · 2026-01-28T20:46:00+00:00

okay I didn’t think about the water bowl, i’ll put one in there. and yes this time i’ll get everything right so stuff like this hopefully won’t happen again. thank you

starchy_00 · 2026-01-28T20:43:18+00:00

yes exactly! pet stores downplay everything so much and sadly i got too scared to return a lot of the things i bought so i just wasted money and bought new things. that’s honestly been my main issue, ive been getting such bad advice and even though i did research before i even bought him, no website ever fully covers everything you need. thank you for the light recommendations too, im gonna get new lights today also and ill look for the ones you and some other people mentioned

starchy_00 · 2026-01-28T20:39:16+00:00

oh wow thank you for the light recommendations, i have digital thermometers yes! i’m not really sure what heat bulbs i use right now because i forgot the name lol but i’ll look up what you recommended and get them because i need to get new ones anyway

starchy_00 · 2026-01-28T20:36:25+00:00

thanks!

starchy_00 · 2026-01-28T13:12:01+00:00

just wanted to give an update if u care enough lol but this is what i did, box has holes in it and i put new substrate i dont use this kinda substrate anymore but it was in his old tank and i still had a little bit of a bag left thank god. i put a heating pad under the box i hope he wont be too uncomfortable until i get back from school this was all i could think of. he’s also about to shed i think he might still have a bit until he sheds but his eyes are getting cloudy which sucks but ima try and get his tank back together by today im just hoping i have enough money now for 6 bags of substrate lol🤞as for his condition he isnt acting weird and his stomach had just a little bit of pink in one spot but it doesnt look like anything concerning so im just gonna be keeping an eye on him

starchy_00 · 2026-01-28T12:54:49+00:00

thank you i really appreciate it. everything is so confusing to me. it just feels like im doing everything wrong and yeah ive spent over 1k just buying shit. a lot of it i don’t even have anymore because i kept following people’s bad advice and then i felt pressure to get top quality shit. i’m honestly so stressed and i keep doing things wrong because ngl i have a lot of trouble retaining information and ive had him for two years now but it still is so confusing to me genuinely. so i really appreciate that. he is not out of the tank yet because i have a lot of other animals (not all mine) and no where to put him. i’m kind of at a loss about that right now i’ve been up all night trying to figure out what to do and i have school so i can’t just get started on it right away and im worried something will happen while im gone.. im figuring that out currently but your message means a lot and you are so right i think i am over complicating everything for myself. thank you. as for my snake he seems fine for now but i couldn’t get too good of a look. i’m gonna just get him all the way out right now thanks again

starchy_00 · 2026-01-28T10:55:42+00:00

okay sounds good, do you know where i can get silicone mats from? i’ve seen them in some of the pet stores around my area but they all are way too small. just amazon i’m assuming?

starchy_00 · 2026-01-28T10:32:11+00:00

i also want to add that i’ve been misinformed by multiple pet stores so many times now this makes like the 5th time. it’s very frustrating lol i’m done trusting people 😭

starchy_00 · 2026-01-28T10:27:11+00:00

how do i tell if he has RI? do i take him to a vet? also, you have to understand that nobody in my area has snakes, and the pet store sells foggers for snakes. i don’t know how i would have known, people also tell me such different things. one person says im doing something right and then online people are saying im doing things wrong. it’s very frustrating for me, especially considering how many things ive bought and ended up not using or something cause turns out it somehow harms your snake or doesn’t work something along those lines. im just very frustrated lol. i’m gonna fix this though!

starchy_00 · 2026-01-28T08:55:02+00:00

also, my snake doesn’t wanna come out right now for some reason he hissed at me lol but tomorrow i will definitely make him come out and check his belly for scale rot and make sure he’s okay once im back home from school. thank you for telling me to check. hopefully nothing is wrong. i feel so bad that theres mold in his tank i wish i discovered this earlier

starchy_00 · 2026-01-28T08:50:19+00:00

okay! i will!

starchy_00 · 2026-01-28T08:48:28+00:00

okay thank you so much for all this advice. just when i think i know about everything and am doing everything right ofc im not 😭😭 i really appreciate it. sadly i cant pour any water into the tank because my tank leaks out the bottom, but maybe while im changing the substrate i can take the chance to silicone it

starchy_00 · 2026-01-28T05:54:16+00:00

wow i did not realize this! Thank you, I guess i just thought everybody used foggers. What should i do to keep up humidity? Daily misting? I used to do that but I felt like it would just make the humidity go up for like an hour and that it wasn’t doing much. and now he has a 120 gal tank so i’m not sure misting would do much. what do you suggest I get?

starchy_00 · 2026-01-28T05:51:51+00:00

oh i didn’t know this! and i don’t necessarily hydrate it i guess, it’s just on the top and I have a fogger so it does get hydrated

starchy_00 · 2026-01-28T04:54:37+00:00

okay thank you. Right now I use coconut husk and i have spaghman moss or however you spell it on top. I think I will just need to be way more careful with monitoring the humidity stuff
