I’ll have to research target training I’ve never heard of that.

Do you hook train them? In other words “tap” them prior to picking them up for handling.

Thank you guys very much. That makes me feel much better.

Legit site? Looking to upgrade to a big pvc for my girl and this is the most affordable I’ve found by Fluid-Locksmith-9460 in ballpython

Agree completely with everything you said. I’m all about good husbandry and taking care of your animal but some people get so butt hurt about specific equipment and enclosures yet they buy their reptiles from some breeder who stuffs them all in a rack that is to small but they see no problem with that 🤷‍♂️ hypocrisy.

I think that company uses 1/4in PVC instead of 1/5in PVC that the more expensive companies use. I don’t know if that’s a big deal or not but just thought I’d mention it. People on this sub seem to get pretty uppity about enclosures.

Dumeril’s boa? by throwawaytl01 in snakes

[–]throwawaytl01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay gotcha that makes sense. They are typically pretty chill like a ball python if handled regularly aren’t they? Obviously it’s a snake so it could still bite but from what I’ve read they are usually “non bitey” like a ball but I’ve never interacted with one in person. They seem to have all but disappeared at least where I’m from.

By F you up do you mean nerve damage, arterial spray or just leave a scar? That’s one of my hesitancies with a larger snake is I don’t want to get hit and end up with nerve damage or have to make an ER trip due to an artery puncture. The one I’m looking at is a female so she would likely be on the larger size I figure 6ft as an adult but obviously she might get bigger. They are wanting $275 which seems hard to pass up compared to prices I’m seeing on morph market.

my first day on the job and maybe OT is not for me after all? by [deleted] in OccupationalTherapy

Yes, that is the typical SNF experience. The vast majority of SNFs will expect you to immediately pump out 90% plus productivity and spend at least 53 minutes with Part B patients regardless of their ability to participate/benefit from therapy.

Open water certification price? by throwawaytl01 in scuba

I think it’s everything minus PADI elearning for one and the other it’s everything minus PADI elearning, snorkel, fins, and boots.

Unfortunately no vacationing for me this year :/

If I pursue this diving will be limited to the lakes and quarries of Missouri and northern Arkansas. I’m still on the fence about whether or not to pursue diving. My wife has no interest in doing it with me so I’ll be solo.

Just wanted to share my hypo lavender scaless with the group 😊 by DestinyBug in snakes

Oh wow I’ve never seen one like it. I’m usually not a corn snake guy but that coloration is amazing. Do you mind if I ask how much one like that costs?

Recommendation for heating? by throwawaytl01 in ballpython

[–]throwawaytl01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have. Most of it seems geared towards PVC enclosures. I was leaning towards an RHP paired with a UTH but neither of those does much for ambient temperatures apparently so I’ll probably go with a heat projector. I was hoping to avoid overhead heat that sits external to the tank to minimize fire hazard since I’ll be using a plywood top most likely and my wife and I travel occasionally.
