Wanted to make a safer or another kind of snake catching equipment for animal rescue

I dont have any kind of artistic skills so i just tried to use the lines in paint to make this. From where im from, we really have to be resourceful as we don't have much access to equipment like the cages specifically designed for trapping animals or containing animals.

Ive been with rescuing animals with the org that im in and we commonly just use animal carriages that you commonly bring in a vet clinic or something, but its a bit different with snakes because one of the most dangerous snakes here in my country is a philippine spitting cobra. The container that we use on dogs and cats are not ideal for it and what we commonly use is just an empty water gallon. Putting the cobra in there using the snake tongs is hard without an assistant.

To give some kind of reference, the philippine cobra can grow up to 1.5 meters. There is also an occasional king cobra, that one can grow up to 3 meters. The commonly used snake catching equipment like the snake tongs is not exactly beginner friendly and you still have to put it on the water gallon container which in my opinion is not ideal for a beginner or a very scared rescuer such as me.

So i thought of something, maybe i should just take advantage of their behaviour. From what I learned from my org, snakes prefer to not crawl backwards so using some kind of tube is a great choice. Im also thinking some kind of a slinky tube or any kind of flexible tube so that I can entice the snake to go inside the tube and then to the container/cage. It also helps that the tube is small which they might think its a confine space. Confine space = safety for them.

Another thing is a snake tongs. Using a snake hook is fine for me, if its a non-venomous snake that is. I don't have the balls to use a snake hook against a venomous snake, not even the tongs because the very first time that i used my snake tongs on a largest rat snake that i found, my hands is already shaking because the snake is large enough that my brain keeps telling me that its a cobra even though its just a non-venomous rat snake. The variant or custom tongs that im thinking is maybe similar to a snow shovel that i see on movies, but instead of a hard concave shape, im thinking about a net similar to that of a EZ nabber that veterinarians uses on aggressive cats so that it wont be hard on the snake. So essentially, an EZ nabber that has a long handle.

I still don't have a measurements in mind on my sketch that i made in paint. Im still thinking what kind of materials that i can use and what materials that are available in my town. Im wondering what kind of materials you guys can suggest, preferably ones that are easily accessible? The sketch might not be great but i think its good enough to get the point across especially that this is just one step of my plan hopefully.

For the older players, what vgc history fact that you can share for the new players?

Heres a few that i can remember:

  1. Prankster is so much worse than before because of the genies. Prankster still works on dark type, thunderwave was nerfed, and paralysis speed dropped is also nerfed from 75% to 50%, all because of the genies

  2. Will-o-wisp actually has a lower accuracy before. It only got buffed because a certain competitive player that climbs the competitive ladder as he goes misses their will-o-wisp like 3 or 4 times in a row

  3. Weather used to be permanent

  4. The rotom appliances used to be ghost and electric regardless of form. This is why we got levitate on rotom fan

  5. Mega Kanga's ability parental bond used to hit for another 50%, now its 25%. Oh and did you know it used to get power up punch? So it basically attacks you while getting a free swords dance up

There are a few more and i cant remember them all. The meta back in the days is so atrocious compared to today

Shoutout to this guy for an amazing battle with lots of mind games

Basically the opponent opened with incineroar and malamar while i open with tyranitar and houndstone. While i expect a fake out from incineroar into my tyranitar so that the opponent will mega evolve with malar, they instead used skill swap with incineroar while i burned the malamar. At first, im thinking that maybe the opponent wants to lower my ttars attack but no, its actually something more evil. Incineroar has now contrary and close combat to my ttar slot. Ally switch is huge boon to the opponent as they cant build up stats due to houndstone. We keep back and forth with the mindgames. Opponent tries to attack on my houndstone slot expecting an ally switch but i commanded houndstone to try to chip away their malamar while malamar tries to skill swap intimidate onto me, raising their incineroars attack. I swap my ttar for my sinistcha to make sure close combat wont go through. Eventually, i managed to defeat incineroars partner to the point that it became 2v1 with incineroar having 3+ def and sp def and +4 special attack due to over heat. Its a good thing ttar is faster than incineroar so i can wittle it down with rock slide + last respects. If you are in this subreddit, kudos for the battle. I had fun cause it was intense juggling around my two ghost types to deny your close combat set up. Wish i could record it but im on mobile so its hard for me to record

Whats the best thing i can do for a dead snake that is most likely 24 hours?

Most like dead for 24 hours, sorry cant edit the title*

The dead snake that i have right now is most likey dead for like 6 hours and tomorrow i think it will be 24 hours and i dont have materials right now. im planning to take the skin but what can i do first? Im going to do some research tonight before i try to do something about it tomorrow morning. The snake is not an endangered species so im clear with the legalities. Also upon checking the snake, i can see little worms whoch i assume are maggots that are small

[recommendations] series where this happens at least more than once in the series?

Anong thoughts niyo dito?

Just watching "Tao po" on their tacloban shooting segment and i noticed the disclaimer that its ai generated visualization. I appreciate the honesty of using ai but surely the producers of the show can afford real artists. Ill even accept if the visualization is not good while it gets the point across as long as its made by any kind of real artist

I just thought of something awesome (or stupid) regarding wands, or staffs in a fantasy setting

Okay so while thinking of some lore that i wanna do with my next dnd session with my friends, i thought of something awesome or stupid depending on the person. So you know like in real life, we name guns something like ak-47 or 9mm or magnum something like that, im not knowleagble about guns so thats what i commonly hear. Imagine naming guns but instead of the guns, its the wand or staffs. Im thinking something like:

Shopkeeper: what do you want young mage?

Mage: you got any staff designed for fire magic?

Shopkeeper: oh we have lots of those. What do you want, do you want the G-Hex 9mm staff or maybe you are looking for a Arcane-47. We also have staff that is dual purpose for wind and fire like the AeroGHex 10mm.

Something like that. Maybe i havent read much fictional media but i havent seen anything done like this in any kind of media except maybe in video games

Bat tayo napunta sa pagban ng online games katulad ng gorebox, naglalaro ba ng gorebox yung namaril?

Like naririnig ko sa news pinag uusapan ni risa yung solo dev sa germany at gusto pag usapan yung epekto nito sa bata. No offence to Risa pero mejo minus points sakin credibility mo unless nlng inimbestigahan mo na naglalaro pla ng gorebox yung 14 yo. Alam kong naiimbestigahan yung parang group nung 14 yo pero pano tayo napunta sa banning ng games? Nanonood ako ng happy tree friends nung bata ako, naging gago ba ako? Nakikita ko naglalaro ng cs o sf mga nasa comshop, namamaril na ba ako ng tao? Parang may kulang at mejo out of the loop ako

Behold, my poorly edited meme about me forgetting the giraffe prevents priority move but works cause the giraffe has no armor tail

Ill be honest, the opponent most likely just didnt have enough vp for now to change it or forgots to change its ability. Either way i feel really high after clicking fake out against farigiraf and actually works

[Recommendation] do you guys have any recommendations where the mc is similar to Maomao in which they high ranking people loves them and will help the mc when they are in trouble?

Kinda like how maomao gains favors via helping them to get better in health or being the emperors smut distributor. Just wanna read a series where the mc gains a lot of favors from many high ranking officials or even from many people

I fcking hate it when people are joking about pedophilia when the character in question are not pedophiles themselves

I fcking hate it like for example the recent yuji itadori cosplayer beating a child sex offender and people going in the comments saying "yuji vs yuta". Muthafcka i get the story about yuta and rika when they are kids but yuta literally has no sexual attraction to kids and not to mention he married someone who is a fcking adult. Another example is the character jax from league of legends. If you play jax, youre probably a pedo as the stereotypes go. The stereotype was born because there have been two instances of jax mains that have been doing something bad on minors. The reason why i hate this so much is that jax himself has no attraction whatsoever and got the bad reputation because of two players who happen to play him and not only that, one of his skins has a special voice line that goes something in the lines of "heres to you, kid" to honor the kid who likes to play jax. The pedo stereotype on jax is a fcking insult to the kid who is being honoured on the voice line

While discussing with two of my friends regarding pokemon and where they usually read for more information, we three have different go to sites. I go with pokemondb, one of my friend go with bulbapedia and other go with serebii. We are debating on which site is the best and we just agreed that they all have their own pros and cons and just go with what we are familiar with. Im just wondering which site is your go to with pokemon infos.
