Questions about starting handling

Questions about starting handling

So Cinnabun has started eating and her health is looking very good, so Im very happy about that. So because she has started eating I've started to work on beginning handling with her. I only do it 2 days after she's eaten and only for 1-2 minutes at at time (3 MAX). While she has shown defensive behaviors while being picked up by the snake hook (hissing, bluff striking, ect) she doesn't display that while in my hands. The main thing is notice is that she breathes very heavily which is a obvious sign of stree. Now I obviously don't want to stress her out but I want to get her used to handling, just for a vet visit in the very least. Is this kinda the best way of me doing it or is there a better way I could without stressing her so much. She is a very skittish snake and is afraid practically everything under the sun but I'd like to work with her in any way I can. She is my scaley baby and I love her.

Can i pay you to drive me somewhere (3 hours)

So over the weekend in Sacramento they're having a reptile expo. Ive always wanted to go to one of these but sadly I don't have a car. Does anyone who has a car willing to drive me there? I can 100% pay you if you throw me a offer, I'm around 50 ish dollars maybe but I'm willing to negotiate. I can also just pay for tickets to the event if its something that you would also be interested in going to.

Ants everywhere????

Is it just me or has anyone else seen ants basically everywhere on campus? I've seen them in the OSU student shop, the otter express, the CAHSS lobby, I've even seen them appearing in my dorm and there should be no reason why they're in there. I don't have any open food or containers in there and I have no idea where they're coming from.

Game capture not working in streamlabs

So I was setting up veadotube to work in stream labs as I would like to be able to do streams eventually! But for some reason streamlabs refuses to load it under a game capture so I can toggle transparency. Window capture works completely fine, it shows up perfectly. Why does window capture work but game capture doesn't?

Insect puree? Is it safe?

So I was looking on Amazon and found this listing for something called insect puree, I haven't seen anything about it on here and while all the reviews on there are nice I want to be sure if its a good thing to feed my skink. Is this a good thing to add to a skinks diet?

Cheap Substrate options?

Hi, I'm a college student that's looking into getting a blue tongue, specifically a northern. Does anybody have any good cheap substrate or substrate mixes that they recommend? I've been doing lots of different research, but when it comes to substrate I'm just somewhat stumped, everyone recommends different things and it's a bit confusing to me. I just want to make sure my little guy gets the right stuff they need while also not breaking my wallet.

Help me remember the name of a movie that scared me when I was little.

Hi, so when I was young during my after-school program when I was about 5-6ish they played a movie that scared the absolute daylights out of me. It was close to Halloween so they played one of the movies they had on DVD, it was the kind of movie that would be scary to little kids (like me) but wouldn't really scare a adult. The main plot that I remember was there was this teenage girl and her little brother. She was a stereotypical mean teenage older sibling so she wanted to scare her brother during Halloween I think. So she either found or bought (I don't remember which) this book about a monster to read to him. The main thing about the monster was that it wasn't real if you didn't think about it, and of course the little brother thinks about it so the monster comes to life. The monster either kidnaps their parents or maybe the brother so it can feed its babies. It was at this point in the movie little me got too scared to keep watching so I just did something else away from the TV. I wish I could provide more details but sadly I can't. I randomly remembered it and was wondering the name of it. What is this movie?
