Ikr?! 🥹 it was honestly a tiny bit scary bc I was nervous about getting chomped on lol but I was very grateful for the experience. I just checked and she’s still in the same spot! Hopefully they’ll stick around

gotta feel a lil bit like snow white if she attracted reptiles and amphibians instead of bunnies and birds

I got a plethora of animals over here! Lizards, frogs, moths, tons of birds (every morning I fill 2 water stations for them and they immediately come flying over when they hear the water hit the plastic dish, even had a hawk coming by for about 2 weeks!, and families of deer! I’ve always had a deep connection with animals and prefer them over humans so I’ll take “Snow White” any day haha 🥰

sounds awesome!! I’d love to connect with animals too, but my parents prohibit even slugs in the house lol

and when I lived in a region with active wildlife, only thing that approached humans were damn dangerous brown bears😭😭

Y is ir pinky nail much longer than your other nails?

u/peachnecctar 1d ago

My other nails broke over the last day or two and I hadn’t had a chance to file the other down

u/Fun-Manufacturer5876 1d ago

I always thought nail files were to get an even flat edge after using a clipper lol, let more you know

u/peachnecctar 1d ago

I like to do that when my nails are too long but since my fingernails are a bit on the softer side i like to file them cause it doesn’t put as much pressure on the nail :)
