>>2139160

Man nature is so fuckin cool. It even moves its abdomen around like a stinger.

Brown recluse. And since it's outside you are a shit owner.

I'm just letting it sun itself on the window. Don't jump to conclusions.

Noobie to /an/, is the brown recluse a meme, or do people not know what a brown recluse is?

Someone in another thread said pic related was a brown recluse.

That depends a lot on where you live, the politics and local issues etc.

I'd look at renewable+reusable energy/materials. The rest should follow. There is shit like Circular economy but it's obviously not very compatible with our current models.

i'm looking into environmental science with a minor in ecological restoration. small field, however, and not many colleges have that program.

You can look at agriculture. A lot of land is taken up, alongside river, soil and air pollution from faeces and chemicals. On top of that is land degredation as the original habitat is destroyed, so you get soil erosion, desertification, nutrient poor land.

A good way to solve all these issues is with agroforestry, which reduces everything mentioned and brings back wildlife

She's a moggy.

THEY'RE BACK

I'm about to nope the fuck out of this room

It's too late, kill yourself before they kill you.

Maybe they're bees though, wasps don't usually swarm. Though there's no real way for me to get close enough to tell right now.

Looks like a bro cat. I hope all goes well.

>>2138707
Never had to deal with broken bones, but my indoor/outdoor cat has had some pretty horrific injuries and come out looking fine in the end. They heal amazingly well. The main issue is typically the cost of fixing them up.

>>2138715
Thank you, Anon. He is an absolute bro and all of my other cats are freaking out because he's gone.

>>2138733
>They heal amazingly well.
The vets have mentioned this but it's good to hear it again. I know I shouldn't be this scared of losing him, but he just turned 2 and there's still so many more years for him.

I've already put $900 into him and that's without surgery. I'm only thankful that I had a decent nest egg set aside and can afford anything the vet throws at me. Doesn't mean I want them to milk me dry, but the costs are not currently an issue.

Doesn't look like a black widow to me, more brown from the photo. Do you live in an area known for brown recluses?

>>2138679
cmon senpai ya gotta post at least one decent pic up close

>>2138684
i live in new jersey so no

its legs look reddish in person but that may be from my bathroom light shining on it
>>2138687
ill try but I'm scared to get close

>>2138637
Does AN have this slow of a response time?

>>2138637
I dont know much a bout them, but if I were you, id use something other than sand. Also, bearded dragons are too bland for my taste. So I can't be much help, but I think adolescents eat more of a plant based diet rather than an insect one.

>>2138637

you're not getting replies because these are things you can read about in every care sheet online. do your own research.

How many species of bacteria do you think live on and in you?

>>2138544
There's a lot of good bacteria. Also a thing called immunity. That's how our forefathers killed all those godless heathens that ran around naked with buffalo and shit. They didn't have immunity to small pox. Or guns, or bayonets.

>>2138544
You're breathing in bacteria right now.

Some sort of fowl. Quail or pheasants maybe.
Raise them as you would chickens.

>>2138487
Careful OP that's a brown recluse.

op here again, i'm thinking of building a 72 x 36 x 36 plywood tank for these with a custom background like pic related. How many beardeds can fit in the 72 x 36 x 36 tank? I'm thinking of only having one male and multiple females

Lighting is pretty simple; one fluorescent UV bulb, preferably the long tube style and not the compact ones One basking bulb. There is nothing special about basking bulbs pet stores sell. An incandescent from hardware store of appropriate wattage works just fine.

Recommend you do not attempt keeping a colony. Learn the animal first, get some experience. Don't breed. There are enough bearded dragons and you won't make any money anyway.

>>2138310
Also, no night light necessary if you room temp is mid 70's. If it's below that, use a ceramic heat emitter as your basking heat source and leave it on 24/7. Those night lights are garbage.

Call your vet. If they aren't pricks they should at least be able to give you advice.
Is the mother still around?

>>2138213
Yes

Where do you live? I have some fantastic little pills that should clear that right up.

>Human agression

Define what you mean by it OP. There are so many variables, it's difficult to give a simple answer.

>>2137496
Tries to murder everyone but the owner.

>>2137504
Hard to say for even that. Are we counting dogs that would attack intruders or in general just 'everyone aggressive?
I think a dangerous dog can still be the owners perfect pet. Like the dog is totally fine except for other people and if the owner has kept it under control, hasn't attacked anyone, properly fenced in, etc then I think it'd be really shitty to take that away from them. You can't just force into people's homes to evaluate their dogs and the way we judge dog aggression is pretty vague. A dog expressing any concern even without snapping or growling could deem them unadoptable, for example(such as shoving a hand on a stick in their face in a stressed or environment).

But for dogs in general I'd like to be somewhat of something more organized or 'educational' aside from letting people just waltz in and bring home any puppy from a store. I wonder if there is even 'free training' events or something.

put a bunch of ice in a bag, stick the fish in there and throw it out. The ice will cause the fish to go hypothermic and then die painlessly. Then tell your mom to stop being an impulsive idiot

>>2137159
Carps are extremely resistant to cold temperatures.
If you use this method chances are that they'll fall asleep and reawaken in your trash can.

>>2137162

or it gets encased in ice, slips out of the trashcan while being loaded onto a truck and falls into a drainage pipe which leads into the ocean until it joins with a glacier, thousands of years later the glacier melts an the fish awakens in an exotic, future world filled with adventure

either way problem solved
