[drache]

oh I know
and I'm not saying at all that the equipment makes the pix
but I think you've got that attention to detail, enjoyment of tinkering, and the patience to do this kind of work, given the equipment.

on a different note
here's something fun for the cat lovers

YouTube - The Mean Kitty Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qit3ALTelOo)

[adamanteus]

Well, today is the last day of my short break from work. Back to the grind tomorrow. Oh good.:rolleyes:

[Stefan-A]

At least you're getting paid. ;) I'm in school and I don't even have any classes today. :D

[Stefan-A]

Damn, I just noticed it's the International Talk Like a Pirate Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_like_a_pirate_day) today.

[adamanteus]

Harr! That it be!

[Stefan-A]

That's about all I feel comfortable saying like a pirate. :D

[adamanteus]

'Avast there ye dog! I must moisturise my skin, for my shaving blade was a little worn. Yarr!'

Is that the kind of thing they might say? Or how about this?

'Belay that french toast and bring me croissants, you cur!'

[Stefan-A]

Somehow I doubt it. :D

[adamanteus]

'Keel-haul the wine waiter! This grog be harsh on my palate, where be the Chateuneuf-du-pape?' (You lubbers!)

[Stefan-A]

:D It's not the first time you celebrate Talk Like A Pirate Day, is it? ;)

[adamanteus]

'Blast your eyes! You bested me! 'Tis true, there be a little of the privateer in me.'

[Stefan-A]

Ever celebrated Towel Day? ;)

[adamanteus]

I've thrown a few in! Does that count?

[Stefan-A]

Counts as celebrating, yes. :D

[adamanteus]

Are there special words or phrases associated with Towel Day?
'Shiver me timbers...then gently pat dry with a soft towel.'
That kind of thing?

[Stefan-A]

Towel Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towel_Day)

No phrases, but you have to carry a towel around with you all day. :D

[drache]

Damn, I just noticed it's the International Talk Like a Pirate Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_like_a_pirate_day) today.

aaarrrrggghhh!!!

she was savvy already
ahoi mateys

[Elliot]

Well I can see that you guys are having fun this morning (or afternoon I guess for you guys.):)

[adamanteus]

Looks like an absolute riot. Next year, I'll be there!

[adamanteus]

Well I can see that you guys are having fun this morning (or afternoon I guess for you guys.):)

Elliot, you dog! The sun be over the mizzen mast, therefore it be past the noon. Yarrr! Splice the main brace and pass the pop-tarts.

[Elliot]

Elliot, you dog! The sun be over the mizzen mast, therefore it be past the noon. Yarrr! Splice the main brace and pass the pop-tarts.

Right.:rolleyes:

[adamanteus]

Stefan, is it a legal requirement that we must talk like pirates all day? I'm running out of stock pirate phrases, by the power of Greyskull.

[Stefan-A]

Hey, no He-Man quotes on Talk Like A Pirate Day.

The answer is no, but it is of course better if you do. ;)

[drache]

you're too attached to your eloquence, James
just fill the blanks with a few choice aarrrggghhhs

[Elliot]

See you guys. I'm about to go enjoy school!:rolleyes: (lots of sarcasm)

[adamanteus]

Hakuna matata? Is that allowed (me hearty).

[Stefan-A]

Not to mention that you should use "ye" instead of "you" and "be" instead of "is". :D

[adamanteus]

With my cutlass now in trim, there'll be a red moon 'ere eight bells, I'll warrant.

[Stefan-A]

And "me" instead of "my". ;)

[adamanteus]

'Larboard into the wind, me boys. And prepare to be boarded!' (Or bored?)

[Stefan-A]

'Larboard into the wind, me boys. And prepare to be boarded!' (Or bored?)
Nope, no double entendres here. ;) :D

[drache]

I tell ye, mateys
martial artist be too bloody serious
they don't get talk like a pirate day
osu mateys
aaarrrgghhh

[adamanteus]

Right then Guys....It's nearly 1.30am in the UK...and I'm back in work tomorrow. (Great!:rolleyes:) Catch you all tomorrow evening. Be nice.:) XX

[Stefan-A]

Well I'll be damned.

It seems that I won a prize last week for my participation in a propaganda photo contest organized by the local WWF and a local tabloid. Not the main prize, I'm afraid, they just sent three random participants some WWF-sponsored stuff, which I haven't had the opportunity to pick up yet. And I'll get 50€ for having my picture printed in the tabloid.. Yay!

[adamanteus]

Good for you, Stefan.:) I've entered a local photographic competition too. No results yet.:rolleyes:

[Stefan-A]

Yeah, but I really wanted.. I mean NEEDED that Canon EOS 400D. ;)

[adamanteus]

That would have been a serious win! Never mind, at least you won something.

[drache]

Yeah, but I really wanted.. I mean NEEDED that Canon EOS 400D. ;)

you do and they should have given it to you and damnit! life is just not fair sometimes
but congratulations on winning something

[Lulu Bennett]

stefan, james. are you two planning on posting you pics you have sent in for these comps

[Stefan-A]

you do and they should have given it to you and damnit! life is just not fair sometimes
but congratulations on winning something
Yeah, but I'd rather earn it. ;) Won't be taking too many photos until April, anyway. Apart from snow, there's not much to shoot. With a camera. ;)

[Lulu Bennett]

stefan, you never answered me :( do we get to see the pic you sent in for the WWF? :D

[Josh]

hey guys hows it goin?

[Stefan-A]

stefan, james. are you two planning on posting you pics you have sent in for these comps
Nope. :p

The theme was "Save the Baltic Sea", the point was to show how Eutrophication (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutrofication) is ruining it. I just took a close-up of a fishing lure. :rolleyes:

[Lulu Bennett]

very well josh just very tired. its 2 am. i have been working on the kitchen all week from 9am till about 7pm but today it was till 10pm and tomorrow i have to be up early to go camping in wales. so will be going soon. hows you?

[Stefan-A]

Not that bad, Josh. Shouldn't be awake for a few hours, but I couldn't sleep, so here I am. :D

[Lulu Bennett]

Nope. :p

The theme was "Save the Baltic Sea", the point was to show how Eutrophication (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutrofication) is ruining it. I just took a close-up of a fishing lure. :rolleyes:

oh well if that was the theme then its fine lol was hoping it was animal pics lol

[Stefan-A]

Not this time. :D

Of course, we can still post animal pics. ;)

[Josh]

Wich i live on. Well anyway i go to the park for the "creek", well like most days the "creek" was just a couple of puddles. i was looking for these wierd crawdad looking things i find there all the time, but i didnt. so o well on that. i just found a frog wich i brought back home with me. Thne its time to go home. so im peddling up this huge hill and my chain breaks....ugh so i had to walk by bike up the huge hill with a frog in my hand.

[Josh]

had to rant for a little

[Stefan-A]

oh well if that was the theme then its fine lol was hoping it was animal pics lolhttp://koti.mbnet.fi/thamnoph/photos/mouse1.jpg

;)

[adamanteus]

Animal photos? Exciting, action packed animal photos? Quality photos of exotic creatures? You've come to the right place!


http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//537/medium/sheep.jpg

No, this isn't my competition entry!:rolleyes:

[Lori P]

Awww, look, James posted a photo of his sweetie... which one is she James?? :D :D (Running and ducking for cover)

[adamanteus]

They're all mine!:D

[Lori P]

ROFLMAO!!! You DO need Ritalin buddy!!!!!

[adamanteus]

See the way they're all looking at me so lovingly? Bless. I don't know which one to eat first!:eek:

[Stefan-A]

I don't know, James, some of them are definitely keeping some distance there. ;)

[adamanteus]

They're just being coy.:rolleyes: 'Flossy' is my favourite, she the one with the good legs and long eye-lashes.:)

[Stefan-A]

Then Flossy is the one you should eat first.

[enigma200316]

wow!!!!what are you guys talking about again..........:rolleyes:

[Stefan-A]

YouTube - Sinister ducks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFK2Xq2RyiU)

[adamanteus]

Stefan, you scare me.......just a little bit.:rolleyes:

[CrazyHedgehog]

hey he wasn't the one eyeing up little minty!:eek:

[Stefan-A]

Well, I suppose it's better to be feared than respected. ;)

[drache]

oh
I feel so much better now
in fact
I feel like a billion ducks

[adamanteus]

Well, I suppose it's better to be feared than respected. ;)

Fear? Respect? I'll settle for sympathy!:)

[Stefan-A]

Well, you sure have mine. ;) :p



A duck goes into a shop and asks, "Can I have some lip salve please?"
The shop assistant asks, "Will you be paying cash?"
The duck replies, "No thank you, just put it on my bill."

[adamanteus]

That's bad.

How do you make a duck into a soul singer?

Put it in a hot oven until it's Bill Withers!

[Stefan-A]

What do you get when you cross an elephant with a duck and a light bulb?




A huge electric bill.

[adamanteus]

The Duck-Billed Platypus...what's that all about? Designed by a commitee!

Scientific name, anyone? Something about paradoxus, I think.

Why do the males have venomous spurs?

[Stefan-A]

Ornithorhynchus anatinus

[adamanteus]

Ornithorhynchus anatinus

No paradoxus in there?

[Stefan-A]

Nope, but there seems to be a few other animals that do have paradoxus in their scientific names. Quite a few actually, and at least one of them is a snake.

[adamanteus]

There's a Solenodon called paradoxus too, I think It's Haitian.

[Stefan-A]

Yes, that's what google told me. :)

2k coming up, I need to find a new custom title.

[adamanteus]

The lowest Order of Mammalia, containing mammals which have only one opening or vent for the genital, urinary, and digestive organs. The Order comprises the duck-billed platypus (Ornithorhynchus paradoxus) and several species of spiny ant-eaters of the genera Tachyglossus (or Echidna)

[Stefan-A]

It was independently described as Ornithorhynchus paradoxus by Johann Blumenbach (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Blumenbach) in 1800 (from a specimen given to him by Sir Joseph Banks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Joseph_Banks))[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platypus#_note-NLA) and following the rules of priority of nomenclature it was later officially recognised as Ornithorhynchus anatinus.[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platypus#_note-ABRS) The scientific name Ornithorhynchus is derived from ορνιθόρυνχος ("ornithorhynkhos"), which literally means "bird snout" in Greek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language), and anatinus which means "duck-like" in Latin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_language).

[adamanteus]

2k coming up, I need to find a new custom title.

How about 'Google Master'?;)

[Stefan-A]

How about "Tougher than Rickson Gracie"? ;)

[adamanteus]

Like it!:D He's a Judo guy, right?

[Stefan-A]

Somehow it seems like my current title would be a lot more humble than that one. :D

[adamanteus]

Something about Norman Bates, perhaps?

[Stefan-A]

Why something about Norman Bates? :D

[adamanteus]

I gotta go to bed....Flossy's waiting. Get your fleece, you've pulled!

[Lori P]

YouTube - Sinister ducks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFK2Xq2RyiU)

ROFL... and today I come home to a message from someone looking to rehome several Pekin ducks... is this a true sign from my lord and master???!!!

[Lori P]

The Duck-Billed Platypus...what's that all about? Designed by a commitee!

Scientific name, anyone? Something about paradoxus, I think.

Why do the males have venomous spurs?

I always say, there's proof that there is a god and he has a huge sense of humor!!!

[Stefan-A]

I always say, there's proof that there is a god and he has a huge sense of humor!!!
IF there is one, I'd say it would be sign that he suffers from ADD. ;)

[Lori P]

ROFL... ok, yeah, maybe that.... well, at least we have plenty of Ritilin on order.... lol

Hi Morph....Bye Morph! We miss you on line.:(

[enigma200316]

Good one, Justin. Is it nicely coloured? Is it wild caught?


it is wild caught, colors are dark and it might be getting ready to shed though, it seem very tolerable, not to quick to move or bite so far......:)
I haven't really mucked with it yet, trying to let it settle in a bit first.....

[adamanteus]

Looking forward to those pictures, Justin.

[enigma200316]

I think so, but I'm not sure.....:confused:

[adamanteus]

I think it's female Justin.

[enigma200316]

I'm gonna keep it atleast a week give it a real good feeding if it will, and then will see from there..............:)

[adamanteus]

Looks like a nice 'chocolate' colour on the photos.

[enigma200316]

Looks like a nice 'chocolate' colour on the photos.

[enigma200316]

James its late there, shouldn't you be getting off to bed.......:rolleyes::D

[enigma200316]

no one else wants to guess at the sex of the snake......:(

[Stefan-A]

Fine. :rolleyes: It's a female.

[Thamnophis]

I think it is a female.

[enigma200316]

thanks guys I kinda guessed that to begin with, just wanted to be reasured................:)

[Stefan-A]

It just felt unnecessary to just agree with what James already said. :)

[enigma200316]

It just felt unnecessary to just agree with what James already said. :)


I know and he as well as most everyone else is pretty good at sexing them
but more than one opinion is always better........I thought it was Female
anyway but like I said just wanted to be reasured.............:)

Lulu, do you have one?? I have been looking at them for a couple of months... gosh, they are SOOOO GORGEOUS... wondering how hard they are to care for...

[Stefan-A]

They're allegedly very easy (almost corn snake easy) to care for. Well, apart from needing higher humidity levels. Some say rainbow boas are easier than ball pythons.

[Lulu Bennett]

i will be buying one to sell on as the boy i am buying off is too scared to handle it. i saw it for the first time today and it was stunning. sorry lori but if you were in the uk i would let you have it hun but i dont like the idea of shipping. they seem ok to care for but i will need a bit of advice on the matter though

[adamanteus]

They are very easy...and a bit boring!:eek::D

[Lulu Bennett]

old habits die hard.............hahahaha:)

[Stefan-A]

Great. Finally got my bitch of a female (red-sided) to take a mouse (again). Played around with the light and heating for about 5 weeks and kept her off feed for the duration of that time (still wouldn't eat), punctured the skull of the mouse and squeezed out a little brain matter (still wouldn't eat), scented the mouse with a worm (grabbed the mouse but spit it out), fed her two worms and left the scented mouse in front of her. It was gone a minute later.

She was a bottomless pit half a year ago. She would eat anything that even smelt like food.

notice how i make a grammar mistake myself lol

[Stefan-A]

I don't know if it's that I'm old or just tired, but I've suddenly lost my ability to form coherent sentences. Must have edited the last three or so posts something like 30 times. :D

[drache]

it's fatigue
trust me
you're not that old yet

[Stefan-A]

Seems like my red-sided wasn't messed up, just picky. Took another scented 2-week old mouse today. Once I get her off worms, she'll never see another one again. Ever.

[adamanteus]

Glad to hear she's back on the mice again, Stefan.:)

[Stefan-A]

Not quite there yet. She probably sees it as a big, white, fuzzy worm. Had to wrap a couple of worms around it before she took it, just rubbing them all over the mouse wasn't good enough. She was definitely interested, but didn't grab it.

Next week I'll try with 3-week old mice. One of those a week should be just right.

[adamanteus]

Sometimes, instead of scenting a mouse/pinky, I 'post' it.....just as the accepted prey (worm etc) is almost gone, I post the pinky into the snakes still open mouth. This sometimes seems to make the switch to pinkies a little quicker. I can't explain why, and it doesn't always work, but it's a good alternative to try.

[Stefan-A]

Tried it already, she won't fall for it. Clever girl or spoiled brat, I really can't tell. :D I'd have to shove a dozen pinkies down her throat anyway, she's not a little girl anymore. :)

[drache]

one of my babies, who'd been taking pinkie strips had stopped eating and it turned out that he's decided it was gonna be trout and properly presented(!), or no go
so my whole theory that it was clear sailing once I got them to take rodent was erroneous - they can change their minds
however my concinnus has taken to pinkies bobbing amongst her minnows, and the ratio is changing (devious chuckle)

[Stefan-A]

Well, this one is obviously smarter than me. :D I found the first mouse today when I cleaned her terrarium, she had been lying on top of it these last couple of days. But she's still fat from the second one.

[zooplan]

One of my ´parietalis breeders is so lazy and bored on feeding.
She open her mouth and let me push smelts and pinkies into it.
When I stop she´s just wainting. When I´m to lazy too it takes ten minutes for one fish.

[Stefan-A]

You win. :D You should make a video and put it on YouTube.


Trying to write a summary on a part of the Stern Review (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stern_review). I have about an hour and a half to finish it, but here I am. :D Most of it is already done, but half of it consists of my own comments. Must figure something out..

[anji1971]

I have to agree, Stefan! I would like to see that feeding on video too- sounds entertaining!
Isn't it funny to see all the little personality quirks these guys have?? I've had a lot of people (not snake fans obviously:() ask me "So, why would you want a snake for a pet, what do they do?" Wish they could read stuff like this, then maybe they'd get it!!!!

I agree completely, but we need to understand that most people are afraid of snakes and that will automatically generate that kind of response. I usually try to give an answer like: "They sing The Sound Of Silence every full moon".

One maybe less obvious problem is that we still use the word "pet" to describe them. People place snakes (well, herps, arthropods and molluscs really) in the same category as dogs, cats and guinea pigs when they try to deal with the notion of keeping an exotic animal.

[zooplan]

People become afraid of snakes they are learning it while growing up.
When I visit a kindergarden with my snakes the small children are very interessted (when they are not afraid of me:o strange foreign man).
Only the older children sometimes don´t like looking and touching the snakes, saying: "No, not to me, my Mami doesn´t like it!"
For that we are no more telling it to the parents before my visit to let the children get their own experiences. :D

[drache]

I always thought that fear of snakes is learned, but I am no longer sure about that
a couple of weeks ago I had a friend of Mikhaila's over, who's got a little sister (5 or so)
the parents are not afraid of snakes - find them interesting
the brother thinks they're cool
I picked out a mellow baby as the least threatening because the little girl wanted to try holding a snake although she was afraid
the moment she touched the little snake, she completely freaked, screeching and crying - something about the way it felt, I guess
I don't get it, but I do think that for some people it's some deep fear that has nothing to do with anything real

[Josh]

you are born with to fears, sound and height

[Lori P]

I have a completely irrational issue with spiders... and I can't figure it out, there is absolutely no other critter (except a few humans, lol) that scare me, but my first repsonse to spiders is AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

LOL! I can overcome it when I put my mind to it tho. You guys were posting spider pics a while ago and it was SO creeping me out. LOL

Oh now that's funny. What a rough life... I should be able to lie on the sofa all day and be fed... by big, strapping, handsome young men... in loin cloths... oh wait, what were we talking about???? :D

I had a mystery snail, Stanley, that would float upside down in the tank and I would drop tiny pieces of fruit and veggies into his mouth. Well, more like in the general vicinity of where I percieved a snail mouth to be. He was pretty lazy too. lol

[anji1971]

[quote=Lori P;28906]I have a completely irrational issue with spiders...

I hear ya!!! I don't know what it is about them- they just look like something that one ought to be afraid of! As a kid, I spent all my summers up north in the woods, spiders everywhere- you think i'd be used to them but nothing sends me over the edge faster!

[drache]

I'm trying to think of animals of which I have irrational fears
sometimes I think it's humans

[ScimitarX]

I have a fear of crane flies and beetles, the way they fly, ugh!

[salzar]

hi... them funky bugs with all the legs in the king kong movie totally made me freak out. hate any menny leged things... just to creepie... bye michelle

[adamanteus]

I can't cope with earwigs...but don't tell anyone!:o

[anji1971]

It's okay James- even a real man can be afraid of earwigs!!!!!!!!!!!

I disagree. People are inherently afraid of snakes, to some extent we are afraid of them too. It just makes them that much more fascinating. People, especially kids, can learn to deal with that fear, but most people never get the opportunity and that's why the fear persists. All of us recognize that every snake we encounter is possibly a venomous one. Even non-human animals have that fear.

[Odie]

I fear nothing......... but my wife :o

[ssssnakeluvr]

same here...lol!!!! :rolleyes:

[zooplan]

Your wrong Stefan, Homo sapiens has no fear of snakes caused by gens,
chimpanzees also have to learn it from their parents.
Off course there are several other animals that can select prey and predator without learning.
