Hey /an/. I have an mystery regarding my ball python I was wondering if you guys could help me out with. Basically I set up 2 different hidey homes for him, one with a heat pad set at 88 degrees Fahrenheit and one without a heat pad. I figured he wouldn't have to choose between security and the ideal temperature. Yet, even though the room is relatively cool he seems to prefer the home without the heat blanket. In fact, he seemed a bit cool to the touch when I picked him up from the cool home this morning. Does he not realize the other home is warmer? Is there some other problem causing him to use the cooler home? I'm also concerned it's a bit too dry for him, in case it has anything to do with this.
Pic related, his setup with the warmer side on the right and the cooler side on the left.

It's probably shape/texture related, if it won't freak him out try switching the hidey homes around. But leave the heat pad in place.

Okay, I've had a Newfoundland bitch which is about a year and a half old now.
But I've had a recurring problem with trying to feed her in that she doesn't eat at all.
The vet said she'll eat when she is hungry just make sure food is available, but she doesn't.
When she was younger I would feed her raw beef every second day, but she even turn her nose up at that and leave it to rot so I stopped.
I've tried multiple brands of kibble along with wet food and she'll eat it for a few days but then ignore it again.
So because she was so skinny I moved back in to my Father's home for about half a year, who has two dogs of his own, she would eat at his and even try to steal the other two dog's food but as soon as I bring her home the only way I can get food into her is to feed her whatever I'm eating or hand feed her kibble single biscuit at a time.
So she only eats properly 3 days a week, the days I take her to my Fathers, but she's got so skinny again and I'm confident her growth is stunted now.
Anyone got dogs like this or know of a solution?

you need to stop sharing your food with her and only give her whatever dog food you want her to have. don't give in after 2 or 3 days of her not eating and give her table scraps. make her finally give in and eat what you want her to eat.
she's been checked out by a vet, right?
>>
A professional vet told you what to do, so listen to them. She will not starve herself to death, stop giving in. If you can't take care of this dog properly, then get rid of her.
Try excersising her for more than her usual time so that she has an appetite. Other than that, STOP letting her have other food or table scraps. You could try switching to a new kibble, but don't do anything else. She will it, but unlike us dogs can go a good three or four days without giving in to their stomachs so ignore her.
>>

The problem is, OP, is that she is too smart for her own good. Basically, she's figured out that if she waits long enough then you will give her whatever she wants.
This is the dog equivalent of a human child throwing a temper tantrum until the parents give in and feed the child candy and ice cream instead of vegetables.
Listen to >>2034839 >>2034846 and your vet. Go back to feeding her kibble, once she starts eating that again then gradually re-introduce her to raw meat every other day.
Three times a day, put a bowl of kibble down in her designated area, make sure she knows it's there. If she doesn't eat it within 30 minutes, pour it into a tupperware container, close the lid, and put it in your pantry where she can't reach it.
She's smart enough that eventually she will figure out that if she doesn't eat when you say she will, then she won't eat at all.
Also, stop taking her to your dad's. Or at the very least make sure she doesn't get any kind of access to food while at your fathers.

Getting a puppy in a week off craigslist. I went over and met the people, the dogs, the puppies, etc. Picked one out and put down $30 for a down payment out of $150 total. Wondering if I should pay cash or check, I feel like a paper trail would be a good move even though everything seems to check out. My brother (manager at a kennel) gave me the go-ahead, and the guy gave me a signed receipt.

I'm looking for a way to provide my cat with some stimulation and excercise.
He's about 7-8 years old, not very old. He's on a good diet. He's neutered.
He's also half-blind. He was that way before I got him.
Every toy I get for him is ignored. All he does is eat, sleep, get pets, use the shitter, and take the occasional dash across my condo.
No way am I letting him outside. If I ever do, he's going to be on his harness and leash and under close supervision. I'm never letting my cats outside again since my childhood cat became roadkill (don't blame me for having been a stupid kid).

I'm running into the same issue with my cat. If your cat is really food motivated, maybe there are some puzzle toys you can use to hide treats in.
Sadly, I haven't been able to find any at my local Petco. I think that there may be some online.
>>
I don't know much about cats. Maybe you can get him toys that offer interesting smells? If he's half blind I imagine he's hard to motivate visually.

get a burd or hamster for him to watch.

Looks like a huntsman or wolf spider to me. Just an idea but you should probably do a little research on the local wildlife so you know what's safe and what to stay the hell away from.
My boyfriend broke up with me last night. Someone please post cute dogs to help me cheer up

Mutt, preferably generic. Honestly I hate the idea of "purebred" dogs. Basically inbred. Dog breed status and quality should be based on how the dog looks compared to the breed standard and not whether or not it has a husky mixed in 3 generations ago.
Pic related, my brother's Arubian cunucu a kind of feral island mutt.

Your opinions are wrong. Shetland sheepdogs and Irish wolfhounds are better.

I'm finding zero info on these dogs. Even Assyrian mastiff just brings up ancient dogs. Do you mean a boz shepherd or a kangal?
>>
>>2033756
Unfortunately that's why I was hoping you guys knew. The closest thing I could find was an Anatolian shepherd. But she specifically said Assyrian shepherd and she mentioned that they were hard to describe look wise.

i think they're extinct
Fun fact: if you roll your guinea pig onto his back, he's gonna have a real tough time getting back up.

It's some kind of lungless salamander. Knowing where you are in the world would help. I don't know how fun they would be to keep, they will likely hide most of the time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lungless_salamander
For keeping them look here, most likely have the same care requirements

FYI, in some places it's illegal to take and keep any native amphibians as pets.
