so yesterday, I accidentally killed my pet corn snake, I walked by her cage and tapped on her head just to mess with her and I tapped too hard and she started writhing and died in my arms. I know she was a snake and didn't feel love but she was always there for me when I needed her, she'd stay in my arms and let me cry on her when I remembered my dead brother . We're burying her today and I don't want her to be gone
Two Questions:
>How big/long/old was the actual snake?
>How hard of a tap are we talkin here?
how do you kill a snake with a tap?? was it a baby?
why does /an/ always fall for this retarded bait shit
What type of spider makes this nest?
Without flash for reference.
Brown recluse
>>2163783
For once, this might not be just fucking around. Brown recluses don't make traditional webs. There is geometric pattern or fluidity. It is just a bug clump of shit that happened when the architect was out on maternity leave. On the other hand, I've never seen a recluse next on a wall or ceiling. They're always on the floor. Is that picture of the floor?
You have 2 choices
1. Let your pet live for the rest of its life but its in pain and sleeps all the time
or
2. Put your pet down
what do you do
euthanasia is comforting to the owner, not to the animal.
your pet isn't in a 'better place', it's not 'resting', it's not 'peaceful', it's dead.
>>2163644
way to miss the point.
Would living in pain really be more comforting for the animal? Is suffering really better than feeling nothing?
>>2163642
Hey OP, do you have a clearer picture of the runes along the bottom?
Hello what animal is it??

Put that to some intense music and you got yourself a michael bay fight scene

Besides this they are active all day, and eat very well. Two fish show similar behavior through out the day though, not often but sometimes, they go rest under a rock and stay there for a while, their tummy on the floor, if I walk by they just slowly swim out and chill with the other fish
>>2163403
What kind of fish? Were they laying on their sides or just resting on the bottom upright?
>>2163410
different molly and platy fish, they lay on their tummy upright, but VERY slightly turned to their sides sometimes because of water movement from filter,(its not a strong current but you can sometimes tell they move very little to the side)
This is Isis named after the god incase your wondering, my family got her about 13 years ago and she's been a part of the family ever since.
Recently she had some swelling around her face and we're start to worry that its a Tumor, we gave her some antibiotics and they didn't help. So now the question of whether to put her down and when has come up.
So I have to ask, how do you guys deal with the loss of the first pet you ever owned?
>>2163217
You accept the death like any other adult would.
>>2163217
I really want to help you, but I don't know how.
It's fucked up, I still have dreams that I'm petting her.
RIP Murilho 1999-2014
I just recently put my cat to sleep. Rest in peace, Rina.1998-2016.
I loved her so much. She was my only friend. I moved out last year and left her with my mother. She lost quite a bit of weight and was only about 6lbs. Could see her bones sticking out. She still had the most clear and beautiful green and gold speckled eyes with tiny flecks of blue. She looked really healthy for such an old cat but she started losing her balance and resfused to eat hard food. She fell off the bed last weekend and dragged herself under, scared and meowing. I drove over as fast as I could...

Anyone know what this plant/flower is and is it a bad idea to smoke it?
It smells like weed and is sticky when freshly picked. grows low to the ground in a pretty large group, would help thanks.
>>2162981
no idea, anon but I'm guessing it would be a bad idea to try and smoke a plant you can't identify. could be toxic.
>>2162981
yeah its a violet recluse very safe to smoke
popular herb of smoking in mongolia 10 times stronger than weed my 420 bro
>>2162981
Thats not a Violet recluse, I just looked it up and looked up that blue thing, couldn't find anything.
why does it look so sinister

Don't be so paranoid, you can trust cats. They are our friends.
Now rub my belly.
What's the best solution for cleaning pupper peepee on a white carpet?
>>2162717
from my experience pupper peppe isn't that hard to clean with just water and soap and some effort. Just don't forget to clean in from the other side too cause carpets soak a lot of fluid. You can apply a bit of colorless vinegar to discourage the dog from peeing there in the future. At least most dogs don't enjoy the smell and you probably won't notice it.
>>2162717
go to walmart and buy a squeeze bottle and a tub of oxy clean powder.
when your dog poops or pees, measure out enough powder for 1 serving and mark it on the side of the container with a sharpie. mix in water and put your thumb over the top while you shake it. spray it on the spot.
this removes the stain and denatures any scent proteins by dissolving organic material.
use a brush or rag to rub it in and let it set for a min then use a dry rag to dab up the moisture.
>>2162717
Just clean it normally if it's piss.
Also yes, mix some vinegar with water and spray a bit of it to prevent future accidents.
Apologize.

Hello /an/ I need some help.
I have a tarantula, a pink toe (avic avic) and he is not doing well... Recently he has started walking around his cage as though he is drunk, stumbling from side to side. He is not eating and not drinking water. today i opened his cage to try and feed him again and he got so scared he ran around the cage then out the glass door and fell onto the ground. I figured he died cause he landed upside down and made no attempt to move. I picked him up and put him back in his cage and he is now moving VERY slowly. I am worried about him if you have any...

His cage is at 76 degrees F and about 35% humidity. I have a hard time keeping him humid but there is no mold or bacteria build up in the cage. He is not able to hold his weight while on the glass for more than a few seconds before sliding down it or falling. He is not spinning webs. He obviously moves around at night because there is always new debris in the water dish in the morning. but whenever i watch him move it is more likes tumbling .
>>2162631
He has been sitting like this in sorta that stress position all day too.
Newfag here, got one today but have been reading on my b. Smithy (Mexican Red Knee). idk about the 'drunk' stuff now but falling upside down from a great height can fuck him up pretty bad apparently. Prepare for the worst..
How do I stop ants?
Ants hate cinnamon and unlike bug spray, it doesn't cause people harm and ants don't become resistant to it over time.
>>2162518
What about vinegar? I don't have any cinnamon.
>>2162521
I don't know of any ant holes right now or I'd find out for you.
This question is probably better answered by a search engine.

hey esto es bonito
My neighbor feeds more than 50 feral cats at her farm. She keeps some of the kittens as pets or gives them away. She has one thats outside with a collar on thats not only starving to death but is covered in tumors, or some kind of lumps. Really sweet cat.
Every winter cats over there die. Theyre constantly breeding. Theres always dead and dying cats and kittens.
Can i get the cops on her for this? I dont really know what they could do. But its just fucked up. I just want to stop her. Let the ferals thin out and make her stop keeping the friendly ones that she...
