Anyway, not so gentle reminder that:
Hamsters are NOT starter pets. Do not just give one to a 3 year old.
Hamster balls are actually stressful to them.
Hamster wheels can cause damage to their spine and they may additionally get their feet stuck in them which will hurt them.
Hamsters should not be kept in small cages. They actually need a lot of space and bedding to borrow.
They are solitary animals. Don't get them a buddy. They don't need them. They will sooner fight than play.
Do your fucking research. The reason you always hear a messed up hamster death story is because nobody bothers to ACTUALLY find out how they are supposed to take care of one.

Hi! I know you have quite a few reptiles. I am considering a leopard gecko myself and am trying to gather some good resources. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction for some beginner information? I would appreciate it! Thank you!
Sure do, and yeah! I can give a few tips for Leopard Geckos.
(Below is my Mack Snow female, Cookie!)

https://reptilesmagazine.com/leopard-gecko-care-sheet/
The care sheets on Google are pretty good, but I'm not a fan of anyone looking to Petco/PetSmart for advice.
Stick to websites that focus solely on giving reptile information. (Rather than websites trying to sell you stuff)
That link should set you on the right track. Honestly Leopard Geckos are probably THE easiest beginner lizard out there.
They have a pretty basic setup and don't need any UVB lighting.
*20 gallon tank or can go slightly bigger
*2 hides: 1 with wet moss, 1 dry
*can use a Ceramic Heat Emitter, or a heat lamp bulb, or an under tank heat mat (with the mat you NEED to use a thermostat probe so the underside doesn't get too hot)
*can have an optional shallow water dish (my Cookie likes having water access. But Geckos get their hydration from bugs so do whatever)
*THIS GECKO STRICTLY EATS INSECTS. Please do NOT feed your Leopard Gecko vegetables, fruit, or dehydrated bugs. You need to be comfortable with handling live bugs.
*Leopard Geckos should have a main diet of crickets, small dubia roaches, or black soldier fly larvae. Meal worms aren't that great in terms of chitin to protein ratio, but still doable. Wax worms should be treated as treats. (Bugs should be dusted w calcium powder every other day)
And honestly that's all I can think of off hand.
Read multiple care sheets! Some will say one thing, others something different. Plenty of videos out there too. Keep up to date with information if you decide to get any reptile.
Hope this helps!

We evolved bare skin so we can feel how soft our pets are and how delicately their noses and whiskers inspect us and how gently they give us little kisses. We evolved to love.

i saw someone talk about how they have to prepare the future actor for Nico di angelo. But the real question is how are they going to prepare the paid guinea pig actor in s2?? That tiny little animal has to look scared, insecure and at the same time, has to look like a simp.

love how advocating for cats to stay indoors for their health + the environment’s health results in death threats for ‘kidnapping pets’

I love how Steve refuses to do Red carpet events with Eddie but will go to big Hollywood parties. Keg King Steve lives on
Look, no one has ever asked for his opinion at a party and then published it in a magazine as a ‘scathing review from friend of Eddie Munson’s.’ It’s not his fault that the movie was not as funny as he thought it was going to be.
Plus, all those flashing lights.
Every time Eddie gets papped, there’s always a picture of Steve where he’s mid-blink or he looks sweaty, and Steve is never going to forgive Eddie for the photo of him goosing him on the carpet. The one (and only) time Steve walked the red carpet with Eddie as his date, Perez Hilton had a lot of mean things to say about the shape of his head and his bisexuality.
But on the other hand, Steve loves a good party.
Steve might not be interested in being a part of most of the celebrity parts of Eddie’s life but he does like celebrities. He has a whole photo album of pictures taken with celebrities. And Steve likes when Eddie gets to do fun things with his fame. No one tells you when your boyfriend runs off with his band that a lot of the famous-people stuff that he has to deal with fucking sucks.
Plus, the only people partying harder than famous people are teenagers in a small town. Steve has experience and he excels at this.
Even if the hangovers are awful.
Eddie posts a TikTok the morning after there are paparazzi photos of him and Steve leaving a party of him, Steve, and half of Ice Nine Kills getting breakfast in the restaurant of their hotel. He pans the camera across the table but settles on Steve next to him with his head down on his arms.
He’s not just hungover. He is ‘are you sure he’s even alive’ hungover. Enough that one of the guys asks, “Is he okay?”
“Uh-huh,” Eddie says with a grin in his voice. “Baby, you got any advice for the kiddos out there?”
“Don’t get hit in the head a lot.”
“Oh-ho, no, Stevie,” Eddie laughs. “This is not a hero babysitter Steve Harrington migraine. This is a Keg King Steve hangover.”
Steve looks up, “There was a keg?”
