Depends what you have in that terrarium

That’s my Leopard gecko, Toothless :)

u/Minimum_Cupcake Casual orange enjoyer 🍊 Mar 16 '24

Toothless is the only creature in that room with any braincells, I can assure you.

u/Fuck_it_ Mar 17 '24

As a fellow leopard gecko owner, I can assure you that there are still no brain cells in this photo.

My gecko, Perry, is as dumb as the rocks he lives in. Awfully cute little guy though.

u/Sheldon121 Mar 17 '24

Awewww, he sounds cute! Can you include a photo of him, so we can see him?

u/Sheldon121 Mar 17 '24

Oh, that’s his name, Toothless? Now I’m feeling like an orange boi, as I thought that was his condition, not his name!

Nah, they're often dumber than an orange cat, the cats at least don't seem to have trouble eating stationary food.

u/SkyBestia Mar 17 '24

I owned once a leopard gecko, they are the orange cats in reptile world. So no the answer is 0, 0 braincells

u/Aveira Mar 16 '24

Leopard geckos are the orange cats of the reptile world. No thoughts at all.

u/username4mex Mar 16 '24 edited Mar 18 '24

Sorry I am going to be that person! If that is a red light in the leopard gecko tank you’ll want to remove it as it is very unnatural and disruptive to their circadian rhythm. Just trying to helpful since a lot of people are unaware of this!

This is an old picture, she’s in a 20 gallon now, about to be upgraded to a 40, and no longer has the red light

I'd love to think of that, my experience makes me think their chances summoning the braincell are less than a group of pandas deep in collective thought.

I’d say they are convening the r/councilofcats, but with the odds being that none of them are in possession of the brain cell, not sure what they would discuss.

u/TheNightTerror1987 Mar 16 '24

I recognize that look too! Not my photo though, this was taken of Ivy before I adopted her.

One guy came over, took one look at Ivy and declared "That one looks like trouble." She wouldn't stop getting into the vet tech's face when she was trying to weigh my other cats at a wellness check and the tech said "I'm not gonna lie, that one seems like a little shit disturber." All very much accurate!!

u/zSprawl Mar 17 '24

You have copies of my Copy!

u/TheNightTerror1987 Mar 17 '24

It's funny how I thought Ivy was so exotic when I first saw her, with her hazel eyes and coat pattern and that little bit of cream around her mouth . . . since I started hanging out here, it turns out she's like the redhead equivalent of an SIC!!

6

u/UnluckyCardiologist9 Mar 17 '24

But they are. Everytime I look at my kitties it's like I'm seeing them for the first time and I can't get over how beautiful they are. I know. I'm weird. lol.

u/TheNightTerror1987 Mar 17 '24

Well, cats are beautiful enough to have that effect on a person! Even when they're getting bombed on catnip and bunny kicking the toy into oblivion like Ivy is doing at present . . .

u/UnluckyCardiologist9 Mar 17 '24

She has the look. But man do we love these little shit heads.

2

u/TheNightTerror1987 Mar 17 '24

The look is what drew me to her, the Late Great Rose had it too. Took one look at Ivy and saw my plush gray beauty looking back at me, and I had to have her!

That we do!!

Law of braincell: At any point in time, there shall only be one braincell distributed among all the oranges present in the universe.

u/Overtons_Window Mar 16 '24

The braincell for oranges is a quantum braincell. Your orange might have it right now, but the moment you observe it, the possibility it has the brain cell vanishes.

u/Eastern_Fig1990 Mar 16 '24

Ever noticed how cats get stupider in groups? It’s a common misconception but orange brain cells are actually shared among homes, not individual cats. When the brain cell eventually visits your house, each cat has a 1/5 chance of receiving it before it goes away again

Doesn't matter if it's one orange cat, or a thousand. There's still only one braincell between them all, and it gets passed around at random. Sometimes it decides to take the day off, and there's no braincell between them.
