I mean the Aquarium people can do it why can't you?
Cat-owners: how do you feel about your cat making human friends?
I have befriended many cats on my walks and their owners seem okay with it. I'd like to hear your thoughts.
>>2100470
My cats are indoors, but I'm always pleased when they decide they like someone. One of my cats is very shy, so it's almost exciting when she decides to come out and sit on someone's lap. And it makes that person feel special. My other cat is very friendly, and I feel like she makes guests feel welcome when she greets them with nuzzles.
I tend to befriend cats on walks, too. Sometimes a specific cat joins me on my walks until I reach what I guess is the edge of her territory. I think if the owners...

Shit. I was not expecting a gif.
That scared me.
What on earth is this? I'm in Mexico.
Is it poisonous? Someone told me it is a Gila Monster but I have my doubts.
Another picture.

Is it? Those look a lot more chubby.

What are you so upset about? Just give the dog, and maybe the owner, some behavior modifying liquid refreshment.
>>2116169
The dog just needs to be spayed and some proper training. The owner needs some behavior modifying liquid refreshment since there's no one to remove her ovaries and teach her to be a decent person
I wish for the sweet release of death where can I buy some of that shit
So is it okay for me to put this in my terrarium for my beardy? I was told by the pet store people not to put it in until he grows bigger because he might try to eat it, but I have heard people say that pet store people don't really know what they are talking about when it comes to beardies. I have had him for almost a month now (i got him as a baby).
What do you guys think? Is it okay to go ahead and put it in?

Dropped.
Get that nigger some sand.

Nice bait but could've been more subtle

Notice how the tortoise on the front of that has pyramiding.
What adaptations does Red Fescue have in Estuaries?
>>2115999
Do your own homework.
prett please cant find any good info
>>2115999
I don't even really understand the question. Are you asking how red fescue has adapted to survive in estuaries?
Anyone else have a desert tortoise? Here's mine he's pretty retarded
I have 15 of them !
I had 15 but somebody stole them.
I'm going to get around 15 of them soon.
Can someone help me with dog walking?
I rescued a pooch as my first dog ever back in Feb. He is a hound mix, and the hound comes across strong in his temperament. He is stubborn as hell, super independent, and kind of dumb. To say the least, he has been a really difficult dog, and a hard dog for a first time owner.
The biggest issue I have with his walks is he refuses to pay attention to me. He goes into his own little world and focuses on scent trails. Sometimes he'll be walking in heel like a star, but then he'll pull to sniff a spot and explore. If...

why would you get a dog if you don't know or are unwilling to learn how to handle one
your thought process shouldn't be "oh if something goes wrong I'll make a thread on 4chan", go drop him off at a shelter so he can get a proper home
>>2115836
Where the duck did you even infer that? Did you even read my thread? The progress I've made teaching him to walk on a leash has been massive. When I first took him home, he was borderline unwalkable he pulled so bad. His foster home never took him for walks, and his othwr home he was outside 100%. Now he walks acceptably, especially once he gets into a groove, outside of the scent trail obsessions.
What I am asking is if I need to be super stern with him and put out "no sniffing allowed except when...

Ignore that person. /an/ hates discussions of any kind.
You should take him to obedience school. You'll learn very valuable skills about how to control your dog.
Getting another dog will NOT help. Don't get another dog until you are confident with your training and handling skills and your other dog is doing better. If you have a stubborn, defiant dog, you will find that if you get another dog you'll have 2 stubborn, defiant dogs.
I just adopted this new cat, he's just sitting in the corner. I know it could take a week for him to adjust, but it's really unsettling to see him crammed in a corner like that.
Anyway, I'm still thinking of what to rename him, he's 2 years old, not sure what breed but he's got the tuxedo look going on.
Name him Rocket.
>breed
Also, feeding times instead of free feeding and playing with him will help him adjust to you and the new place much quicker.
>>2115570
It will take at least a week and up to 2 or 3. Just let him do what he wants and leave him alone. If you have an extra bedroom or quiet office or something that would be the best place for him.
its been 4 months now. I didn't realize my dog could climb onto my desk. I had some sleeping pills on there. she got a hold of some, and by the time I realized something was wrong and took her to the nearest animal emergency clinic she was already halfway gone when I got there. She died because of my carelessness. I thought I'd be over it by now but I think about her everyday. She used to greet me as soon as I got home and now coming home to silence makes me break down sometimes. I'm sorry for blogpost. I want another dog from a shelter. Be honest with me.. Should...

It was an accident and you had no idea she could reach your desk. It wasn't your fault and you have to accept that, even if it may be hard. Now you're more fully aware about puppy/dog proofing, which will only serve future dogs you have well.
It's stupid to beat yourself up too much over this. I think you should get another doggo.
In return, could you give me input to my blogpost? thanks
>>2115522
In most circumstances where an animal dies because of someone being careless I'd just tell you to kill yourself.
But that one's kind of eh, I've had small dogs for years and they usually don't even try and climb up on surfaces unless there's a literal lump of meat up there and it's not like dogs are known for their desire to consume shitloads of random pills.
Just be more careful about leaving medicine out in the future, same shit applies to having kids.
Everyone makes mistakes. You sound like you'd make a better pet owner than a lot of people that have dogs.
Would you guys know of any good places to rescue a sphynx or get one on the low? I really want a cat, but I'm allergic and trying to figure out a way around it.
>>2115528
Have you done any research on the breed besides the hypo-allergenic meme? Sphinxs are very high maintenance.
>>2115536
Yeah, I know there's a lot that's involved as far as hygiene. I'm not too worried, I had a very high-maintenance cat for a while. Is there anything better you would recommend in terms of hypoallergenic breeds?
Sphynxs aren't necessarily hypoallergenic FYI. My friend's sphynx triggers my allergies.
Didn't know if this belongs in /an/ or /adv/, so I'll try here first.
I'm in a bad situation. My sick 65 year old father really wanted a dog. So we got a puppy 3 days ago. Since we got her, we've been pretty much fighting nonstop and our relationship has taken a nose dive.
Our problem is this: he has raised dogs before, and thus is completely disinterested in any advice on how to raise this new dog. His way is the best way. The puppy even came with a 15 page manual of basic training techniques from the humane society. He refuses to read it....

Don't worry too much about it. He knows what he's doing. Actual experience is more useful than a book you got from the humane society
>>2115522
You're retarded. Should have thought of that before getting your equally retarded dad a puppy.
Enjoy knowing you're the reason a dog has to live through all this.
Just kill the dog and serve it to him
I've started a fund raising project to help the enviroment in my local areas in hope that I can motivate others to do the same.
I'd be gratefull if you'd like to help me and donate as little as 1$ or just help spread the word about the cause. Thanks!
Hit me up at suburbanpostcard@ gmail.com
Once you mail me I can send you a link to my fund raising, so you can read more in to detail of my project.
Last bump
I've helped many rare plant and animal species establish themselves in my area and didn't need a single dime for it.
what, you need money to build basic fucking birdhouses for common species?
Does anyone have an Idea what I could use as a hide for my snake? Should look relatively natural if possible
Can be a store-bought one or home-made, I just need suggestions.
What is your favorite type of cave for your snake?
pic kinda related, the type I do not want (unsuitabe for a display cage in my opinion)
Just buy pic related and glue bark to it..
>>2115388
Seconded. Snakes love those things. They are dark and cozy and perfect for them.
Just dress them up if you want them to look more natural. Half bury in substrate, couple rocks on top, etc. and you won't even see the plastic.
>>2115387
Your favourite snake cave! Lol sounds like a set up for some penis jokes! But I won't
