God, your enclosures are /so nice/!!! I strive to reach that level of natural habitat mimicry one day when I have the funds and space! Do you have any tips for going bioactive? I'm thinking that it's the way to go for my corn snake, but I'm afraid of enclosure maintenance/costs and all that... did you use any particular reading resources in planning your enclosures? Thanks in advance!!

Oh thank you!! I really appreciate that <3 

And yes! I’m always happy to help where I can. I absolutely understand the feeling. Before I started, I was very intimidated by the idea of bioactive. I distinctly remember writing in the tags of a picture of a bioactive setup a few years ago about how I absolutely loved how it looked and it seemed like an awesome thing to have but there was no way I’d ever be able to manage to do that myself, it’s way too complicated. 

Once I actually convinced myself to start the research, it all came together pretty quickly and now I’m working on #6 and 7 (sort of… since I ended up almost completely scrapping the last setups in my bps’ current enclosures) and soon #8, once the cage arrives :) 

I’ve never kept a corn snake, but I can definitely help with the general stuff. 

For research, I started off mostly with NEHERP’s vivarium building articles. They mostly work with frogs and small geckos, but their info translated just fine for my ball python setups. I believe a corn snake’s husbandry requirements are at least similar and would be considered tropical more than arid, so their info should be able to help you as well. At least to get started.

I bought most of the stuff for my first vivarium build from them as well. Plants, substrate, etc. Now I would recommend shopping around at various websites and local stores to find the best prices, but I still buy from them for some things, and have always been happy with what I get from them. Some other websites I would recommend looking around are Josh’s Frogs and Glass Box Tropicals. Bugs in Cyberspace usually has a nice selection of bugs that are useful for the clean up crew. I’ve shopped from all of the above and like all of them! 

Amazon, Reptile Supply Co, Chewy, Pangea, and other similar websites have some supplies you might find useful as well. Take your time shopping around to find the best price and shipping costs. Do this well ahead of time to get an idea of what kind of money you’ll need to set aside for it, and you may have a better time keeping to budget. Local hardware stores (lowes is a personal favorite) and plant nurseries are great to visit as well. You’ll get better deals on the plants at these places. Lowes won’t have quite the variety as online, but I can almost always find something in their garden section to take home even if I wasn’t intending to. I would absolutely recommend finding a dedicated nursery, though. They are the happy medium between price and variety. And if you talk to the employees, they may be able to help you find plants that can thrive in the conditions your vivarium will have. 

It can be a big investment at the start. There’s a lot you have to buy to get it set up. And there will be quite a bit of trial and error involved. Some plants will probably die and you’ll waste a little money. But once you find what works for you, once your vivarium is growing, I find the maintenance is no more challenging than any other type of setup. I water my plants as needed and I keep the moss hydrated (having a drainage layer helps but it still needs to be supplemented), and spot clean when necessary. Every now and then, I replenish the leaf litter as it gets broken down and I clean the glass regularly. But unless you are adding something new or rearranging or something, you really don’t have to do that much once your vivarium is established. 

I hope this is enough to help you get started in your research! I think this got a little sloppy and scattered but if you have any other questions or want more specific info, please feel free to ask. This is one of my favorite things to talk about and I am more than happy to share what I’ve learned! I also have other posts and reblogs with helpful info in my bioactive tag, if you want to look through that :)

littlebirdnerd replied to your post “@ people who prefer twitter over tumblr… how did you do this”

SAME i keep seeing people switching to twitter and i'm ???

YEAH and people keep saying how it’s sooo much better than tumblr but I also don’t really see it. Maybe it’s more for people with like close friend/mutual circles because it doesn’t seem much easier for communication

I spent some much needed off-time with family in the lovely north of Michigan this weekend. The birds snubbed the feeder cam (the birds there are not relying on feeders a lot), but I brought my other camera too and managed to snap a couple of photos of an Eastern Phoebe (thanks, @littlebirdnerd) that was nesting at our cabin.

holy shit i was obsessed with toontown for so long like a couple years ago

SAME, it was my first "real game" and I made so many friends on it. And then I got banned oops

smallavery replied to your post “I picked up toontown again and its fun and all but also really lonely”

omg when i was younger i tired to make a toontown but i didnt know how to work it so i never got the reall toontown experience

WELL FRIEND IF U WANT TO TRY AGAIN LEMME TELL U A THING Ok but really what happened is disney shutdown the original toontown online, but as it turns out a lot of people were upset about this, mainly kids! So a bunch of people got together and using the publicly available disney assets, they remade the game and it's now free to play! It's called toontown rewritten and it's honestly really fun and also it has an ongoing ARG if you're into that. 

It's still a little buggy, crashes aren't uncommon and they don't have some parts of the game up due to coding issues, but it's honestly really great they're even remaking the game anyways.

what webcomic :0

http://alwaysraininghere.com/  !!!

if you havent read it and want to give it a shot you should !!! although some of the early dialogue can have some problematic moments (all i can really remember rn is that the one kid says 'retarded' at one point and it really threw me :^/ but also like perpetuating 'gay' stereotypes / and some homophobia and stuff. honestly the usual really in bl stuff) but it's a cute comic !! i think its really cute and the art is adorable
