Sure. Here's a successful wild pairing i got a little over a week ago.
She called in 4 wild males at once, it was really cool to see so many flying around together.
This species is pretty uncommon here, but i found a forest where i've gotten successful pairings every year since 2015.

So I bought a heater for my goldie so I can give him some friends. He hasn't been growing much, but when he grows, I plan on keeping him in a separate (bigger) tank. It's a Lil 25l tank.

In the meantime, I'm considering getting shrimp and maybe a couple of mollies (2 or 3 at most). Tetras are too small, so when he moves out into a bigger tank, I'll add them. Thoughts?

its actually disturbing how much thought incels put into trying to decide on "feminine thought patterns" and superficially, it makes no sense

but one day, you might accidentally end up on /lgbt/ by misclicking and hitting a banner ad, or you'll go there to troll hard while on your friends wifi, and you'll probably see something. they are very, very concerned with what's "fembrained" or not, either because the homosexuals are repressing their troon urges, or because the troons are grasping at excuses to ruin their bodies. and it'll click. a disproportionate amount of incels turn out to be trans or gay. incels are actually all fags. the reason women don't like them is because women can smell and subconsciously sense mens sexual arousal, and homosexuals don't exhibit it around women. to a woman, a gay man trying to be straight is in a sort of uncanny valley so incels never get laid. gay men also have no instinctive drive to pursue women so they rarely ever try.

i literally can not imagine how a straight man could go more than 25 years without having sex with a woman at least once. it's like a dog that never barks.

I don't think people give enough credit to bony fishes for how scary they can be. Nobody's denying that sharks are imposing as hell, but there's a certain visceral fear I get when I think about goliath groupers. The way they use their swim bladders to bark, the way they do mock charges while opening their gill flaps, their lightning fast gulp, it's all just so intimidating. Then there's the Kaluga which is basically the only sturgeon species that actively hunts fish instead of invertebrates and has been known to eat seals. Their giant bodies and peg-like teeth which are unique to them, their armor plated skin they use to ram things too large to bite, and the fact that they live in freshwater which makes them far more likely to run into humans than a shark. Anyone else get what I mean here?

Orcas do not face anything as agile or as deadly as a goddam mosasaurus you moron. Being intelligent, they would at best chase one off as a group or get the fuck out of there if they spotted one. On the other hand, a mosasaurus would absolutely go for the kill on a calf, sub adult or an average sized adult, which it could dispatch quickly and return to feed on later.
Orcas can only kill something bigger than them as a pod and it takes them hours to do so. With their tiny jaws their best attack is ramming into and attempting to drown their prey. Literally blessed with no competition, the most onions predator in history.

> "The name Diuqin means bird of prey in the Mapuzungun language; and lechiguanae in reference to Lechiguana, a witch from the Argentine film Nazareno Cruz and the Wolf, who foretold bad omens to Nazareno. So Diuqin lechiguanae means The Bird of Prey of the witch or The bird of prey of the Lechiguana," explained the National University of Comahue in a press release.
> "This species, unknown until now to science, was between 2.5 and 3 meters tall, weighed around 100 kilograms, had small, hollow bones, as well as sharp teeth, pointed claws and a very low but elongated skull"
> "The Diuqin lechiguanae is the seventh species of the Unenlaginos (half-bird) family to be discovered in Argentina. However, its particular anatomical features had not been recorded before in other known dinosaurs.
The fossil remains analyzed were discovered in the isthmus of the Mari Menuco and Barreales Lakes, in the province of Neuquén, and are part of the paleontological collection of the Museum of Natural Sciences of the National University of Comahue."

My leopard gecko is blind and sometimes I get scared because she sleeps on her back
Is that normal? The first night I got her I thought she had a stroke because I've never seen a gecko sleep like that, she had her foot up and her head against the back of her hide and she was on her side
And then when I tried to wake her up she hissed at me
She seems otherwise healthy

Exactly this - they're coming from high in the trees, in rainforests, which means they need medium-level, consistent humidity and constant airflow. With an auto-mister (or even fogger, though those are generally useless or even harmful for most animals) and a couple of computer fans, plus a mesh top and ventilation somewhere along the sides (picrel as absolute minimum), you can make it work in a big ass glass box, but even then the same setup in mesh is superior for everything except ease of maintaining temp.

Chamleons in general are way higher difficulty than their presence in big box stores suggest. Probably because the big ones are generally hardy enough - or have a slow enough metabolism - to make it a few months to a year before the bad husbandry shuts down their organs, but should live 6-10 years in good condition.

I can't say for sure, but I don't think it's possible to put it in even in the biggest female. According to some 'scientific sources', a tiger dick is about 2/3 in size of an average human (and lion is smaller than that).
