I found out I was pregnant, two weeks ago and before I found out, I was a chain smoker and didn't eat right at all. I've been worried sick since that I hurt my baby and that I'll miscarry. My best friend has been extremely supportive since the begininng and honestly, a god send. Until a few days ago when she revealed to me that she was previously pregnant and miscarriaged when she was pretty far along, nearly 5 months. I'm almost ten weeks. So I had been chain smoking until I was nearly 8 weeks along. I haven't gotten any medical check ups yet to tell me if everything's okay and I'm paranoid. She will not stop talking about her miscarriage. I even said at one point "I wish everyone would stop telling me their miscarriage horror stories, it's rude and hurtful." She was like "oh don't listen to those kinds of people"

As if she wasn't my main source of horror stories. Then ten minutes later, she went back to talking about it.

I don't know what to do, or how to get her to stop. I'm worried sick something is wrong and she knows it. That along with the fact, I have zero pregnancy symptoms and I've been told by other people that's a really bad sign.

What do I do to get her to stop so I can calm down enough?!

I was recently engaged and found out I was pregnant two months later. I'm six weeks today and I just found out my fiancé has been using meth and heroin behind my back and lying to me. Needless to say, I left him. I can't stop crying and I don't know what to do. I cant get myself to abort my child, but I'm terrified that I can't do it alone or even find a man that will love me and my child too...help...?!

What are some good pet tropical reptiles that do best in higher humidity and heat?

Most of the research I've done regarding ball pythons state that adults should only really be kept in around 50%-60% humidity. My boyfriend and I are looking into getting a ball python, but the humidity of the area we'd be keeping it in is closer to 75%-80% humidity around 80 degrees in the day and around 70-75 at night, how well would a ball python do in higher humidity?

Should we separate him from that room and keep him in a drier area of our home?

Can I keep my crickets in the same room as my reptiles? The humidity in the room is about 75-85% and is kept at about 80 degrees.

I started cycling one of my fish tanks almost three weeks ago using the fish less cycle. I've been adding food nearly daily to cycle it. About two weeks ago, I saw the ammonia spike to about 4ppm and for the last two weeks, it's been bouncing between .25 and 2ppm but hasn't hit zero yet. How much longer can I expect it to take?

I have a room that I have designated for my reptiles and tropical fish. The room itself is very humid and warm and I'm looking into adding tropical rainforest plants to it to give it kind of a jungle appearance. I have no idea about tropical plants though, and have no idea where to start.

What are some ideas of plants I should add to my room?

I'm planning on getting a school of 5 pictus catfish, what would be the minimum tank size I would need to house all of them happily?

I'm setting up a new 55 gallon tank and I'm choosing to cycle it with fish. I'm curious if I can keep 5 juvenile (around two inches each) pictus catfish in the tank to cycle it.

Will this cycle it adequately?

Should I expect any complications with this method?

Anything else I should know?

Thank you =)

Two of my guppies are pregnant, they're in a tank with two pictus catfish and I'm wanting to give the fry a legitimate chance to survive. The catfish will eat all the fry, so I'm looking into getting them a nursery tank.

What size is best for fry from two separate guppies?

Would I be able to keep the fry alive without cycling the tank fully beforehand?

Is there anything else I should know as I go through this process?

Thank you.
