i know these colors usually mean gravid and she’s ready to lay eggs. but she hasn’t laid eggs before, i got her in march and the lady said she was around 3/4 months old.
her stomach looks a little bigger and im just wondering since she’s my first chameleon
she’s acting normal but i caught her yesterday messing around in her lay bin for the first time since getting her
i’m 14M and i hate my older family
my sister (22F)
mom (40+ F)
and my dad (50F)
i have three younger siblings, all under the age of 13 and they are the only people i like, and i barely even like them.
i hate my older sister, my dad, and my mom. they enrage me so bad and i don’t even know how.
i usually stay home all day (until 5pm) watching my three younger siblings while my older family goes to work, i feel so happy throughout the day with my younger siblings, i watch movies with them, paint, play outside. but as soon as my mom dad and sister come home it all crashes. just them smiling at me genuinely enrages me, yesterday they didn’t have work so they stayed home. i woke up around 1pm, and they were all outside. i stayed in and smoked a cigarette and went outside with them and i just felt my blood boiling being near them. i was so bored, all they did was smoke 🍃. half of the day was me cussing them all out, sleeping, and playing xbox. i don’t know why i hate them so much. they bore me. and the more im around them, the more i hate them. today i stayed home with my siblings, and i felt okay. i actually ate, i didn’t even smoke. i felt calm and leveled all day, but when they came home i crashed again. i cant stand being around them. what do i do? as the years go by i get angrier and hate them even more. they trigger me so bad and they are the ONLY reason i even smoke nicotine. they trigger my urge to relapse back into vaping too. and i dont know how to cope. my parents basically neglected me my whole life. shoved a screen in my face at 5 years old, let me drink white claw at 10, and gave me a vape at 12. i never got proper education, and i never had friends. and i still don’t. my anger is getting so out of control ive had urges to punch them, and break plates and bowls. and i have broken things out of anger. how do i cope without going to therapy. all i’m living off of right now is cigarettes and they barely keep me leveled. i feel like a dick because i’m not being a good example to my younger siblings. i don’t want my sister to grow up and think this is how men should act. but i don’t know what to do.
first time owning dubias as a pet pet, rather then feeders. my colony failed and i seperated them, now i’m left with four male dubias. this is my first time making an enclosure for them. i’ve got play sand x coco coir mix (70% sand 30% coco coir)
4 fake plants 5 pieces of wood angled both for climbing and resting and one cork bark for hiding in. this is my first night, if there’s anything i should change please let me know! i don’t want to accidentally have bad care. they seem pretty happy right now but i don’t know.
maybe i’m tweaking but i recently bought a doll that a ton of people said were haunted, i shouldn’t have got it, i shouldn’t bring it into my home - ect ect ect
and im kinda worried
i bought the doll….. and at first i was literally so freaking happy, like it lifted my depression somehow. i was in a pretty rough place before buying the doll, and after i bought it i was just overjoyed, i woke up, hugged it. and before sleeping, i hugged it. but the past 3 days have just went down hill somehow. my depression hit like a brick all of a sudden. badly. like the worst it’s been in months, and my septum ripped out and tore a micro tear into my nose after getting caught on a blanket.
i’ve had my septum for a year and it’s never really gotten caught on anything, and the rare cases it does i can usually pull it off of the blanket or whatever it’s hung on. i’ve had the hiccups all day. i NEVER get the hiccups. but i’ve been kind of paying less attention to the doll these 3 days. not taking pictures with it, barely hugging it, i don’t really mention him much. because i’ve been so busy babysitting and taking care of my reptiles. am i tweaking or is this doll biting me back.. should i have listened to the people, or am i just being overly paranoid again.
the picture above is the doll in my possession
(this was a day after i got him)
i’ve always been pretty paranoid so this definitely doesn’t help 😭
does it ever really get better?
i feel like i have no real reason to feel this way. i’m a normal teenage boy. i ride my bike, i take care of my pets, and i listen to music. i collect cds and vintage records, i watch movies from the 50’s. i play drums. but ive never really been fulfilled. whenever i hang out with my friend, i usually just cry in the bathroom for 10 minutes and continue riding bikes or watching movies. or whatever we do. i’m stuck in a loop of nothing. i’ve felt empty and sad since i was 8. no joke. my mom doesn’t think it’s real, she thinks she’s the only person that has depression. music used to help but it doesn’t distract me anymore. deep down i know how i feel, and i know how ive always felt. i know people like me, my sister always says im funny, my siblings constantly follow me and look up to me. but i don’t know what for. i just wanted to ask older people, does it get better? or does it at least ease up? i’m not looking for pity. or a sugarcoated answer. i want the truth. will i always feel like shit? sorry if this is tmi.
i recently posted about a doll that would possibly haunted. and comments confirmed it might have residual haunting. but i genuinely think im getting called by it.
i’ve lost sleep, ive spent 20 minutes at a time just looking at the listing, and ive already planned where it’ll be in my room. last night i couldn’t sleep thinking about someone else getting it. and when i think about the possibility of me not getting it i feel sick, like ill cry or puke. i have the money to get it, but i live a few hours away from the place. and my schedule doesn’t give me enough time to go get it. i’ve been so upset at the possibility of not getting it, and i’ve never been a doll person. i used to hate dolls actually. and i’ve never been a crazy fan of precious moments either, or military stuff. i’ve even looked at different listings of the same doll, year model, brand, everything. but it’s not the same. i want THIS one. and i don’t know why. i’ve been so upset, whenever i have to genuinely think about NOT getting it i feel sick, upset, hurt like i could cry. and i’ve never been that type of person, i can usually walk away from something like this happy for the other person. but i genuinely cannot fathom another person having this doll but me.
any explanations??
i keep seeing this doll come on my FB market place and i’m obsessed but idk if it’s haunted or nottt
her light goes off at 8PM and it’s 7:52PM and she hid under a leaf and she’s sleeping, is this okay? her lights are still on and she’s been around this branch pretty much all day. should i worry?
opinions on a quote i heard from a fellow chameleon owner🤔
idk if this is the right place to ask this but WTF.
i have a nerve plant because im really into house plants, and ive been kind of neglecting mine. so i took it down and watered it and put it in my room under grow lights. and i came back a few hours later and it looked like a huge hole was dug in the soil as if someone stuck their finger into it. and BOOM a huge slug. and TONS of baby slugs. i’m talking atleast 20. and the mom - or dad is like ejecting this orange thing from its mouth? it looks kind of like fish food pellets?? wtf happened. wtf IS happening. the baby slugs are getting near what ever the mom is spitting out. have they been living in the soil this whole time? and did i hurt them in any way by potentially directly spraying them with water??
it’s semi bioactive
(i have live plants but no bugs yet)
he’s healthy, is it just the soil? it smells really good, but i’ve honestly never smelt anything like this. only thing i can compare it to is nice melon on a warm summer afternoon. the mix of soil and melon.
so almost 2 months ago i adopted this beautiful female vieled chameleon
at first she was a mint green
but within three days she turned more orangish green
now she STAYS this color.
i have proper uvb
(t5 linear uvb tropical)
i feed her everyday
(crickets, dubia roaches, occasional treats like hornworms and wax worms)
and i use calcium (no d3) powder on her food EVERY time
calcium with d3 once or twice a month
and multivitamin every 2 weeks or maybe once a week
she has a 4ft tall mesh enclosure
live plants and tons of branches only
i NEVER handle her without her initiating it first and when she acts stressed i put her back immediately and leave her alone
i’m still relatively new and wondering if something’s wrong with my baby, any help or advice would mean the world to me.
i already love her so much and i’d feel horrible if she was sick or died in my care.
first photo is her first night with me
and the second photo was taken a minute ago
