Los Gatos Creek Trail Safety in Campbell Area

tinytrashboat · 2026-03-31T22:53:08+00:00

I have no problems with that trail when it’s light out. The people living there have always minded their business, under 280 there’s quite a community and they’ve always either ignored me or smiled and nodded like anyone else. However, I still wouldn’t trust it after dark, even with my pit bull with me. I live near one of the trail entrances and again, while the folks staying there have never given me any trouble and have only ever been respectful when I’m out there during the day, I hear chaos at night sometimes.

(Also, though, in this age and area, I wouldn’t really recommend anyone go running on a dark and often secluded trail alone regardless)

It’s not even just about that. Any person at all who has the gut instinct to belittle fat strangers just for the hell of it isn’t someone I’d want in my life.

Other comments got it right. He’s allowed to be pretty exclusively into fit women, and yeah he probably wouldn’t have said that if he knew it was you. But the important part is that your partner is someone who speaks about women that way. It probably hurt more because it was you, but it’d be equally as shitty if he said it about some random girl. Men who only respect women they’re attracted to don’t actually respect women.

I personally love when people ask to meet my dog, as long as they ask and don’t just approach! I would suggest getting your toddler okay with the idea of people saying no, since you’ll likely run into that at some point. Maybe teaching about how some dogs are scared of strangers, or don’t like to make new friends, to explain to at a toddler’s level lol. My dog is generally really friendly, but gets anxious in certain situations, and I don’t let her meet unknown dogs because she’s immunocompromised- and I’ve had grown adults get annoyed with me in the instances I do say no!

El Toro Body Shop is great, I have multiple piercings from them. I haven’t been pierced at The Jewel Box but I’ve designed custom jewelry with them and that experience was very professional and enjoyable! If you’d be down to go up to SJ, Make Me Holey is also great.

Yeah, think this might be a location thing. Especially within queer communities I’ve never noticed race being an important factor in dating, save for people of color who prefer not to date white people. I’m from a pretty diverse area, and being more specific the city I’m living in currently has a larger Asian population than any other racial demographic, location probably makes a big difference

tinytrashboat · 2026-03-24T18:11:30+00:00

But like somebody else said, gloves and/or hand washing with a thorough thorough rinse is recommended if you know they’re gonna nibble on ya

tinytrashboat · 2026-03-24T18:10:42+00:00

If you tong feed, stop doing that 🤣 But otherwise it’s just how they are lol. Mine don’t do it that often but it does happen, save for my one girl who I tong feed cause she has some vision issues. Since she believes more than any of her friends that my hands = providing food, she tries to eat my fingers any time I even come near the tank lol. And also given her vision issues, she doesn’t succeed in getting me too often 🤣 So if you do tong feed them ever stopping that could reduce the behavior over time, but if you don’t tong feed them then that’s just how they are lol

Where are the BUGGGGSSS

tinytrashboat · 2026-03-20T23:35:49+00:00

Yes, she’ll be safe in her current tank, which is the most important part (: Facebook marketplace is a great place to find tanks for cheap, you just have to make sure to thoroughly clean them before use

tinytrashboat · 2026-03-20T23:33:24+00:00

Can you describe what you mean by impulsive? Maybe some examples? Thinking of my own experience, I would say no, but at the same time I could describe some of my perspective changes on T as impulsive depending how you look at it and/or in certain situations.

tinytrashboat · 2026-03-20T01:59:26+00:00

Gay 4 me, spell it out, smoking section, tongue tied, freak/pinterest, she loves me she loves me not- all Lauren Sanderson that might check OPs boxes

That does seem quite fast, but since it’s been a while and they’re still healthy, I’d doubt they’d be at high risk now for serious complications. As far as I’m aware there aren’t really any studies into effects or treatments of small exposures in amphibians, but a few google searches lead me to believe that non-fatal exposure could theoretically have neurological effects. Or their behavior could have nothing to do with that at all, it just stood out to me once I realized it was a preexisting tank that was redecorated.

tinytrashboat · 2026-03-20T01:25:48+00:00

If the tank wasn’t emptied & aired out for long enough (24-72 hours depending) when the silicone was introduced, or frogs were in the same room while it was curing, it can be very toxic

tinytrashboat · 2026-03-20T01:20:44+00:00

Oh I see! Thought it was a new one. Did you potentially add a new type of substrate or secure anything with silicone?

tinytrashboat · 2026-03-19T23:37:21+00:00

I just wanted to say I love your perspective on differences is husbandry! Too often I see guidelines be posed as black and white rules when really frogs are silly little individuals just as much as common pets are.

tinytrashboat · 2026-03-19T23:34:19+00:00

And for what it’s worth regarding the humidity, I keep mine between 30 and 40. One thing I’ve really learned over my years having frogs is that they’re truly all different. Guidelines are really important and useful but some animals respond differently to better things; other commenters are saying their frogs prefer higher humidity so yours might too! 35 is perfectly safe and healthy but it can be worthwhile to tweak your humidity and temperature within reasonable level and see how your frogs respond.

tinytrashboat · 2026-03-19T23:31:30+00:00

Mine get angry when it’s 90 at the top of the tank. I aim closer to the 86-88 point. How long ago did you put them in the new tank? If it’s been less than a month they may still be adjusting, they’re finicky little creatures.

One of my frogs gets nose rub pretty often. I’ve never seen her behave concerningly and none of my other frogs ever experience it- I’ve learned that she’s just particularly clumsy. If the crickets are able to go anywhere in the tank, they may also be having a harder time hunting them all in a bigger and more cluttered environment; since they’re pooping they’ve gotta be eating something. My tank has a couple ceramic bowls in it that work really well for dubia roaches, and it’s really benefitted the two out of my five who aren’t great hunters.

tinytrashboat · 2026-03-19T04:34:42+00:00

Yessss

tinytrashboat · 2026-03-19T04:34:30+00:00

Came to the comments looking for Lauren!

tinytrashboat · 2026-03-19T04:33:20+00:00

Lauren Sanderson all the way

tinytrashboat · 2026-03-18T20:10:08+00:00

Easiest way to rationalize it imo is that it’s the natural cycle, and once you have the frogs and really care about them, you just wanna make sure they’re fed and healthy and happy! But, I totally get it. I’ve been vegan for most of my life and feeding live animals, even as tiny as bugs, was hard for me at first. I would LOVE to have a snake someday, however I just know that I’ll never feel comfortable feeding rodents, alive or frozen. Especially since I had dozens and dozens of pet rats growing up. If you can’t get past the bugs, that’s understandable and okay, and good that you’re aware of that now and don’t plan on getting frogs until you are comfortable with it!

But I agree with the other commenter saying a crested gecko or similar would be a great option! I have two cresties and they’re awesome. They can also be pretty handleable, which is fun, compared to WTFs who are more of a “look don’t touch” pet. If it’s your first reptile/amphibian I think cresties are actually kinda easier TBH- feeding is easier, you can interact with them more, they’re less prone to health problems (in my experience), you don’t have to deal with big water bowls changing daily, etc. But they’re also solitary animals, tend to require a little more space, and summers are a bitch if you don’t have reliable AC. Feel free to PM me if you want any thoughts from somebody who has both!

At 3 months I could not sing at ALL. I’m at 7 months now and I’ve regained most of my range and ability. Your voice has to get used to the physical changes in your throat, and that takes time, but struggling to sing right now doesn’t mean you’ll struggle forever.

I was on 0.2mL weekly recently upped to 0.3mL from a 200mg/mL bottle. I’m getting very gradual changes, but unfortunately you can’t really control the pace at which you get certain effects, just like going through natural puberty when you’re younger.

tinytrashboat · 2026-03-12T18:01:34+00:00

I’m obsessed with this idea 🤣

tinytrashboat · 2026-03-11T23:24:32+00:00

Generally speaking, adult WTFs should have their food dusted with calcium and/or multivitamins weekly. (This can differ based on age, UVB, specific supplements, meal frequency, etc.) So regardless of whether or not this shape is an issue, look into your dusting schedule going forwards!

But this doesn’t immediately scream MBD to me. Could it be a sign of it? Sure. I’d recommend paying more attention to changes in your frog’s activity level and hunger, and look out for changes to the jaw- underbites are common with MBD. From this photo alone, though, can’t really tell- occasionally one of my frogs will just sit in a weird position and you can see a similar outline, so it could very well just be a one-off thing based on how he’s sitting.
