#3 gallon tank

[photozoi]

This was the 3 gallon snail tank... (and temporary guppy holding tank)...

... and here it is repurposed for holding replacement plants in case some don’t make it in the new tank.

Hamsters are a really interesting intersection of the previous issue. Yes they have smaller cage requirements and don't need to be paired with other hamsters for their health but that's largely because you got your child a short lived hyperactive nocturnal antisocial territorial little houdini ass fuck machine that doesn't pack bond with anything and is great at escaping it's cage and will maul another hamster on sight and often doesn't like to be handled, especially during its bed time which is all fucking daylight hours. Of course most kids stop getting invested in the care of their little fluffy demon eventually. But Jesus I guess you didn't need to buy 3 of them and make or purchase a cage the size of an oven so there's that.

Turtle Fact of the Day #4

Exotic pet rescues are overrun with red eared sliders and painted turtles. If you're considering getting a pet turtle, do as much research about their care as possible to avoid needing to surrender your turtle straight back, and always adopt, don't shop.

maybe getting a hamster today? setting up the enclosure today at the very least

Happy four year adoptiversary to my handsome little boy Montgomery Montgomery Python!!!

Got him august 11th 2019 in lieu of my 16th birthday three days later. I’m turning 20 now. I cannot BELIEVE I’ve had this stupid little rascal for four entire years it does NOT feel like it. Hobbies include hiding in my computer, staring at nothing, and trying to escape his glass prison in the dark. I love him

neocaridina are a very small species of freshwater shrimp that are popular in aquariums because they has been bred into several very bright color lines, the most popular of which is called "cherry" (seen in images 3 and 4) for its bright red carapace coloration. (and often confused with "bloody mary" neocaridina, seen in image 1, which have clear carapaces and bright red insides.)

however, if you want them to keep their colors, it is important to not intermix them. shrimp that breed across color lines will very quickly have babies that revert to brownish wild-type coloration—which can also be quite cool-looking! overall, I like the reds and oranges best due to how they stand out against green plants.

personally, I ended up with a mix of cherries and bloody maries (and one (1) orange shrimp who is my best girl because she seems to be the only one repeatedly carrying eggs) because they often get mixed up even in pet shops.

I set up my 36 bowfront to get it cycling before I go on a 10-day trip out of town so it'll be halfway cycled when I get back.

But now I'm just staring at it and daydreaming. I WANT IT CYCLED NEOWWWW

I wish I was big

You want to grow up? Really big? So big that you outshine everyone else? Dude, we can do that. At your own risk!

It's about 3:30 in the morning. Your bed is collapsing. You lie naked on the squashed mattress. Around you the shreds of what used to be your pajamas. You get up with difficulty. Fuck yes! You are big! What you can see in the twilight, what you can feel, is big. Fucking big. While your eyes get used to the twilight, your apartment gets used to you, too. Your bed is reinforced with a steel frame. And it stands on the bare concrete floor of an old warehouse. It's safer that way. An apartment on the second floor would be dangerous. And this way you have more space. You also need it to move around…

Now that you're awake, make a two-gallon can of protein shake. For your first breakfast and for the way to the gym. Good thing the gym is only two blocks away. Otherwise, you'd starve. Your closet is empty again. So you take a tank top and a pair of shorts from your dirty laundry. Both still damp from the last workout. Both so big that children could build tents out of them. Everything fits a bit tight. But you can't find anything bigger.

Good thing your gym is open 24/7. You spend more time here than anywhere else. You set up your phone camera and start a live video. Your fans are all over the planet. Europe is already awake. And the number of your OnlyFans followers increases with every repetition on the weights, increases with every groan when you bring a dumbbell back to the starting position with your last strength.

06:00 a.m. That was a good workout. Slowly the gym fills up with the little weaklings. Fuck, why do so many here wear a face mask when they work out? The pandemic is long gone.

One last pose in front of the mirror. You need to go home and make breakfast. The smell from your armpits is breathtaking. You just smell like a big lad smells. Whoever doesn't get a hard-on from that, should work out somewhere else.

I’d say I want to see this as a poster on my vet’s wall but my vet is permanently drop-off only now. The sentiment still stands though, this is great!

Other suggestions: hamsters in those sad and very cramped little plastic playplace tube houses vs in a big cage with lots of digging substrate and natural chews and hides.

Honestly any animal that needs community but is sometimes sold alone. Rats and guinea pigs for example cannot be kept alone, they need buddies! They’re social animals that rely on each other for grooming, food-sharing, and comfort. Same with petstore parrots, most of which live in large flocks in the wild (and are essentially STILL wild animals that have been tamed and bred in captivity, not domesticated).

I love it

“It’s about your pet, not about your pride”

Everyone makes mistakes, nobody is born knowing everything, but it’s a choice to remain ignorant and it’s a choice to accept new information and do things in a better way.

____ I’ll make more illustrations like this, if you have any idea feel free to tell me.
