"don't talk to me or my daughter ever again" edition

Found a juvenile widow in my charcoal chimney. She's still got the gold stripe down her back. I'll have to get her set up with a bigger enclosure soon but I think she's okay in the sling box for now. Also think the middle widow is working on some eggs, it's been a week or so since she ate and she's still looking thicc.

Well then. It's fine and I wish you a lot of spiders in your home.
That's not too bad guys, arachnophobia drastically declines with knowledge of spiders.

Get one. You'll likely end up with one if you get more than one. They should be eating primarily fish so find a good source of frozen and/or live fish for it.

He senses bad energy either in him or in you. Do you secretly dislike him or get stressed when he is near?

Try going on a walk with dog and him, and then at the end of the walk enter your house all together. Sometimes that can calm things down and show dog he isnt an intruder or secretly evil.

Pretty sure that would be the carboniferous. If I remember correctly, the source of coal is all the trees that grew and would die to natural causes such as breaking in the wind an falling. Because nothing could break them down the dead wood just continued to build up and work its way into the soil.

Nice argument. Unfortunaly I already depicted you as the frond-like animal and me as the carnivorous animal.
>>
>>5046497
A literal single genus of coarse haired ape managed, in a couple of million years, not only to be the 2nd most dominant species of vertebrate in terms of biomass but also to force the evolution of the most dominant vertebrate species and not only single handedly caused a new geological epoch but pretty much accelerated geological time division itself.

An entire phylum of hyperabundant autotrophic bacteria or multiple phyla of animals causing mass extinction and global environmental and ecological turnarounds is nowhere near as unbelievable if you put them in perspective.

How to obtain an owl pet?
8 replies and 3 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>5046353
They don't make good pets OP. Just volunteer at a nature center that has ones that can't fly if you want to be around them. I did like the owls more than the other birds, they aren't as messy as the hawks and eagles generally but they do sometimes still leave trails of intestines on the walls that need to be scraped off, or a half-eaten mouse butt lying around.
>>5046587
They are uncommonly used in falconry mostly as a niche challenge by people who are already experts. From what I remember you have to be involved in it for years and years before you can even legally have one.

I have a dog that pretty unambiguously follows camera feeds to know what is happening in front of the house. This is both recorded and sustained by countless observed instances where it looked at the cameras to know someone was coming before they made their presence known. It was not taught behaviour, but self-learned.
The only thing I am uncertain about is if it has the capability to discern that the screen represents the real space in front of the house or if it simply taught itself the "cue" that seeing certain types of activity on it signifies something is about to happen, without making the connection it represents a real space.
