I cannot help with abronia care, but I can so relate to the whole "I've wanted this animal for so long, I can't pass it up!" situation. That's how it was with Sunny. I just couldn't say no, so I scrambled like crazy, and almost two years down the road, I'm so glad I did!

Ah I’m glad I’m not alone in my anxious feelings! I’m quite nervous because usually I prepare for weeks/months before getting a new pet and now I’m unexpectedly preparing for this little one with only a few days. I know it’ll probably be okay because I can run down to the bio dude for anything I need (i can finally check out his new UVB lights and chameleon sacks) But I am nervous because my home life is still... a bit uncomfortable. Roommates and dogs and things. :/  I’ve admired abronias since I saw a few people showing theirs off a couple years ago on IG and immediately researched them and realized quickly that not only are they endangered in the wild but that many are still illegally imported and taken from the wild. Which, of course, put me off thinking I would ever get one. So this is basically a perfect situation to not only help out a friend but also get a dream animal in good health that was captive bred by a responsible local abronia breeder.

This is the tea-pot in question! It’s just preowned, not used, and honestly only want 35$ for it, ( we’ll cross the bridge of shipping when we get there )

Hey Owlet, I'm having a bad cold and was wondering how much hydration is actually required to help the body heal? Should I be chugging water/tea non-stop, or just drink when I'm thirsty?

You should drink when you’re thirsty/feel like it, but chances are that you’re doing to drink more than normal ways.

For one, it’s because if you’re running a slight fever and sweating your body will want to compensate that. It’s also likely that if your nose is clogged and you’re breathing through your mouth, the mucous membranes there will dry out more, too also making you require more water.

And of course it can also help with the other symptoms, either by simpel temperature differences (say, something hot and steaming that can help unclog your nose) or because it contains things like mucilages that actually can help soothe the soreness of your mucous membranes.

So why you don’t technically need to drink that much more, chances are that other factors will make you drink more automatically. Regardless, listen to your body and drink when you feel you need it.

thlpp replied to your post “i need some advice!  if anyone out there is a herp/snake keeper and...”

Footnote: Your roommate may not know of all the risks involved in housing herps and cats in the same place. They may agree to wait one they realize what a difficult situation they're putting you in with their request. Also, asking them to wait will probably be less harsh than saying "no cat for you."

very true! i linked a couple of posts/articles about the dangers of housing cats and herps so we can all be on a level understanding. and we decided that going thru the process of cat-proofing the snakes areas together would be a good option so there is never an “i didn’t know!” moment. 

i know he has the welfare of the noodles in mind as well. which is more reassuring than anything tbh. 

i also really like cats and i think i would like having one around if we can make sure the herps are safe.

Your art is really cool! I like the pictures you create.

Do you have any favorite artists?

Not off the top of my head.

In case it helps: Floornight is not really about art at all. I don't think it's a coincidence that it has a very weak and inconsistent art style. I was trying to make something that sounded cool (in prose) and art-like (in visuals), and that's all I did.
