a thought on the spam likes, I have multiple side blogs and I primarily use mobile. So I’ll like stuff, mainly to show that I’ve seen it before if it pops on my feed again, and reblog it to the blog that it fits. I have a fanfic blog so I share most of your work on there, but my main blog is the one notifying you that I liked it. Idk if this made sense but hopefully to show that my blog looks like a spam like blog when I’m reality, I’m also sharing your work. Hope this helps!

that’s fine because you’re reblogging regardless bb!! i hope other people know that!! so don’t worry, you’re doing great!!! thank you for reblogging and being so kind ily!!! 🥰🥰🥰

it’s okay angel please don’t apologize!! thank you so much!! 💕💞💕💞

I have a 10 gallon fish tank (it has more height than floor space) and I want to have green tree frog in there some day. i think it would be kinda rad to make the tank into a terrarium with live plants and such in it with the frog. what are your thoughts on this? is it safe to do so or would it be risky for the frog's health? Thank you in advance ~

Planted vivariums are great for frogs! Live plants are a great way to naturally increase your humidity and give them natural places to hide. NE Herp has some great guides about how to set a planted viv up!

URGENT: long story short, bought a rat to feed to my snake, got attached, couldnt feed him to her, contacted rescue and now i noticed he's limping, sneezing a little and his nose has dry blood. I dont think the rescue will take him now. what do i do? is there a way to make his suffering end without hurting him in the process? (killing him without making him suffer). i dont want him to think that i betrayed him... as silly as that might sound. i cant feed him to snake b/c i dnt want snake sick

The dried blood likely isn't blood at all, rats discharge red liquid from their eyes/nose from a gland under their eye. It's very rare for a rat to get a bloody nose unless they've been bashed in the head.

The limping is bad, he could be injured by another rat or any other myriad of problems. The sneezing is also bad, but may not be a full blown RI infection, often times feeder rats are kept in unsanitary conditions and have inflammation/irritation problems. These generally go away on their own.

If you have the money, take the rat to an exotics vet. They'll give him a physical and let you know if the limp/sneezing is serious. If that is not an option for you, then try a local rat rescue or rat breeder organization. I don't know what state you're in so I can't look for you but a quick google search should help a lot.

Honestly, the problems you're describing don't sound like they justify euthanasia at all. Unless the limping is serious (the limb is swollen, broken bone, etc.) then it sounds like the poor thing just needs some TLC (though I would highly recommend a vet visit). I would try to rehome the little ratty and work on switching your snake over the frozen/thawed.  (which I can help you with! I've converted dozens!)

By weaselwoman to list five things about myself!

I'm a little bit obsessed with Animal Crossing. I'm so late at everything, I started playing last winter around the time when collage started to become this big stressful thing for me & my landlady (who I lived with) wouldn't let me have my friends back & was just really passive aggressive about everything & made me bring my ferret back to my parents house, & I was really starting to miss my forest & not being in a city, so I was in a bit of a wierd place & found AC to be really soothing & happy c: It's really helpful if I get too worked up over something & just need to get away but can't literally go outside & do that. I love Tom the cat so much, he's like a grumpy uncle. 

I love doing simple repetitive things with my hands, like origami & potting plants or doodling. I think I learn better & make decisions better while I'm doing something like that, I just take in more information or something. I wish that had been more accepted in school, I'd probably have done a lot better. Then again, I'd probably still be where I am now either way.

I only learned how to braid hair a few months back. My mum taught me while we watched this awful/brilliantly bad horror about a high school where all the students started becoming mutants or something because of some pot they smoked grown on a toxic spill by a power plant. What. For an ex-nun my mum is pretty cool. I still don't know how to ride a bike though, whelp.

After four years of trying to make it happen I should be bringing home a baby/juvenile mink in two weeks, I'm so excited & nervous. I hope I'll be a good mink-parent.

My mum "outed" me a few weeks ago. I was crying in the car outside a garden centre because college was not going the way I wanted it to, I no longer know what I want to do, I just want to study art really but for now I can't. She didn't know how to calm me down so she said "Look... I know this has nothing to do with anything, but I hate seeing you like this & this might relive some stress somehow. We think you think you're gay, & we don't care. We just want you to do the dishes more, you're so bad at that" & then we went inside & bought a lovely begonia. It's growing well.

I sent in an ask couple days ago about my betta dying and thinking it was my ADFs. When I purchased them, they were labeled as African Clawed Dwarf Frogs. Is there a difference?? Or is there even such a thing...

There is no such thing as an "African clawed dwarf frog". There are African clawed frogs (ACF) and African dwarf frogs (ADF), which look similar as juviniles but are completely different as adults!

African dwarf frogs (Hymenochirus boettgeri)  are small fully aquatic amphibians that stay ~2.5" long. They are social and should be kept in groups of 2+ and the minimum tank size for two is 5 gallons. They like their water cooler than average (70-75F) and eat bloodworms, blackworms, tubifex worms, etc. Note that ADFs have webbing between their front feet, African clawed frogs do not!

African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis) are also fully aquatic frogs, however, they do not stay nearly as small as ADFs. Adults get 3-6" long (females are much larger than males) and are ferocious predators. They eat nightcrawlers, live fish, frozen krill (shrimp), frozen fish, anything moving they can fit into their mouth. They are not social and do not need to be kept in groups, needing a minimum of a 20 gallon tank for 1-2 adults.

Of course, that is a photo of an adult. Juveniles can be confused with ADFs very easily. Like I said in my response to your post, another dead giveaway is color. ACFs come in albino, leucistic, and dyed varieties. ADFs only come in wild type and, very rarely, leucistic morphs. You will never find that color in pet stores, so if it's white it's a clawed frog, not a dwarf!

Clawed frogs will eat any fish that can fit into their mouths, and attempt to eat fish way too big to fit into their mouths. This may stuff a large fish halfway in, crushing it in the process, and either choke on it or spit it out. Or they may catch a fished long fins and try to eat those, which is entirely likely to kill a fish even if they never reach it's actual body. The shock from the attack (which can last for a while) is enough to kill plenty of fish.
