I just seen my first snake since moving to Central Florida. What kind of snake is he?
What kind of snake is this?
He was HUGE and kept snapping at the workhead on the crane.

It's a glass lizard, not a snake. Florida has four or so species of them and they can be very hard to find since they spend most of their time in the leaf litter. They're basically a skink without legs.

thanks, I knew the tail looked weird. I'm guessing its tail recently broke off
The neighbour's just installed a chicken coop with about 6 chooks right next to our back 6ft fence and my 6 month old herding dog (kelpie x koolie) is obsessed.
I'm worried about her either jumping over or digging under the fence while we're out to get to them. I don't know if she'd kill them or just try to play with them but I don't want to find out. We lay bricks across fence line because she's made attempts to dig under. She's pretty small at the moment (15kg) but incredibly agile and will grow out a bit more.
She gets...

If they have a coop maybe try to let them sit nearby with you til they get used to them, you know, introduce them in a safe setting. At least that's what I've always heard about introducing dogs to potentially edible animals.
Well its too late for you but PEOPLE PLEASE EVALUATE YOUR CHOICE OF DOG.

The dogs got dingo in it.
Do Livestock guardian dogs get jealous of pet dogs? will they attack the pet dogs?

In what particular context?
If the herd is threatened?
Kangal.

I found this guy out here chilling when I was practicing for basketball. What do I do? He couldn't fly and his family was no where near him.

Let him go. He's going to make a tasty meal for someone.
Put it back right now. You're killing it.
Any cat owners here have experience with swollen paws? I have a ~1 year old male cat (fixed and shots) who primarily hangs outside during the day who came home with a rather swollen right front paw today. During his outside time he's prone to climbing trees and hunting mice, birds, snakes and bees (the latter of which I'm hoping caused this). He doesn't appear to be encumbered by this (no limp, no signs of pain) and it just showed up this morning. Some sources online are saying ingrown toenail, I don't clip his so perhaps this is a possibility?
Thanks

He was a stray who, alongside two siblings, appeared on my property out of nowhere. I took him in and found homes for the other two. He loves being outside and pesters me until I open the door for him, then returns every night and sleeps inside. He even comes when I whistle.
Try to squeeze his paw and see if the claws come out? And see from there? I'd say give the swelling 2 days to go down before calling the vet (this is an arbitrary number based on absolutely nothing btw, if you feel you need to take the animal sooner then do so) IF it does not bother him, and keep him indoors where you can keep a really good eye on him. Call the vet as soon as you notice limping, lethargy, puss, bleeding, excessive grooming, anything out of the norm for him. If it is an ingrown nail, DO NOT try to take it out yourself; it can be very painful, but also the...

Does anyone here work with animals? I am a fish biologist with Oregon and my job is to reintroduce Chum Salmon to the Lower Columbia River, it's quite fun. I spend most of my time evaluating habitat, releasing fish, and then evaluating data.
I used to but I'm not a farm kid anymore. Grew up and got a job and moved away

I'm a marine biology major, actually. Next week we're surveying a reef near a local resort to make sure tourists haven't fucked it up.

Actually, speaking of, next year I have to take up an internship and I really don't want to do it here in the Philippines. Any recommendations for someplace that'll take interns from late March-early June? I was thinking the NWFSC with NOAA.

You stole that cat's meal also.

I like the birds in my garden. That cat can fuck themselves into someone elses ecosystem
my goal is to create a filter feeding cat that eats mosquitoes
