Washing out what I'm gonna mix my water in, next is washing out the tank itself

> 10 gallon

More like "10 Gaylon"

What are you planning to keep in such a small tank?

I had ants set up shop in my apartment
>walking around barefoot
>feel a bite
>for a few days I kept seeing a few ants here and there
>leave a snack on a paper towel on the carpet
>come back after like an hour
>there's a little line of ants running through the whole room
>it leads to a tiny hole in my wall
>spray ant poison into it and plug it up
I never saw another ant in my apartment. Fucking dicks

>family runs rental mobile home business for 'hispanic immigrants'
>usually they're okay, just a little dirty because they don't clean up well
>one family is a fucking mess, fatass mom drawing benefits, alcoholic dad, 3 or 4 young kids
>they don't clean at all, when they finally leave the house is disgusting
>tiny ass roaches everywhere, in the walls, ceilings, under the floors, everywhere
>worst infestation I have seen, I'm talking you would have to measure them by square inch
>bug bomb the hell out of it, spend weeks tearing up floors and walls to replace them

It was so bad the fumes from the roach crap actually made their kids sick. We were so glad when they finally fucked off.

So satisfying.
The german roaches that occassionally make their appearance in my apartment, seem to survive a good 14 days when stuck on a sticky trap. Sometimes i'll throw it out in the sun for half an hour or so to make their lives miserable.

what tge fuck is their problem??????

They hardly ever bite me. Does this mean my blood doesn't taste good?

Tiger mosquitos are worse. They look like gnats so you can't really tell they're trying to get you until you get itchy. The bites itch like hell and get scary looking when you scratch. But it feels SO good when you scratch.

Tell them your dog bites. I tried 'this one doesn't like strangers' walking the one dog I know is just uncomfortable with people running up to her but nah they were like 'oh it's fine dogs love me'. Now if the bite thing doesn't work I just repeat it or something similar and go on with my walk or tell them to fuck off.

If I'm walking both dogs I'll let people pet the one who is more than happy to see them or other dogs. They go for the white fluffy one first but so far telling them she bites/doesn't like strangers has made hem back off or just pay attention to scary black dog.

Alternatively, walk your dog more in the evening or at night when other dog walkers are doing the same thing to avoid people.

My dog has never bitten anyone but I don't want to push it and not be responsible for some dumbass potentially getting bit so sometimes you just have to be an asshole about it or you'll get trapped in a pushy conversation how you should breed their dogs with theirs even though you have said multiple times they are spayed and are old ladies at this point anyway until they leave on their own accord.

I used to own a showdog and everyone who saw her tried to get their filthy hands on her every single time.
Eventually I found out that if you start acting creepy people will try to avoid you, regardless of what you are walking with.
Try the following:
>You want to pet me too?
>I like it when you touch him like that
>Hey, want to hear about my card collection?
>Can I get your number? (Immediately after first contact)
>Wait! He might hump you if you get closer!
>Do you smell that? I think I just stepped on shit
>You look so hot like that
>Are you ovulating? I think he can smell that

Just use those and nobody will ever talk to you again, guaranteed.

>>2454950
I just put a sign on my dogs vest that says "I bite" in bright red.

I don't think you guys can/should have a pet in that situation

get a pair of chinchillas or something

>>2454447
you don't need a pet, you need a houseplant. start a windowsill garden. little tomatoes, herbs, etc.

I nominate Canaans for their difficult mentality.

care to elaborate anon?
Ever owned one? share your experiences.
I've never owned a Husky but I hear they are notorious too.

>>2454025
I've never owned one. What about their mentality is difficult?

>>2454028
I live in Texas and have been searching for a puppy. I am shocked at how many huskies I see posted online. It seems irresponsible to own one in such a hot climate. But what about them is notorious?

it's toxoplasmosis

I do believe that some animals posses a certain level of consciousness

Humans are animals, just like other apes are

Crabs of the genus Geosesarma are interesting because they are heavily terrestrial and only need shallow dishes to bathe in. In recent years there's been a lot of imports of newly discovered dwarf species that are about an inch and have all kinds of nice colors.

Looked them up just now. Vampire crab is a cool nickname.

I'm a complete beginner when it comes to keeping pets in tanks. I've never done it before, but crabs inspire me to want to give it a go. All the specifications for their tank/environment seem intimidating, but I'd love to keep them.

>>2450580
Just make sure to prepare well and find a seller that can clearly tell you the scientific name of the species. Vampire crabs are a good example for that. A lot of pet stores attach that name to a wide variety of species that have vastly different requirements.
