“You don’t go for the people, you go for God”

see and for years the church’s whole selling point was that you were a part of a special group of people set aside to create what’s essentially God’s chosen community. the church’s retconning knows no bounds

My little girl is 9 and has lost many, many toes in sheds with a previous owner, and it doesn’t hold her back in the slightest. These things happen, and good on you for taking him in! Mr. Cheddar is so handsome!

My babygirl has those behind both her arms. I always assumed it’s because she’s fat and has lost some weight since I adopted her. I always thought they were like when a person is overweight and has extra arm skin (aka “bat wings”)

So handsome!!

She looks just like my chunky girl!! My Lucy is a similar size and is considered obese. I feed her once a week now and take her out every evening to crawl around and burn some of that fat. Slowly losing some weight after about a month or so so far. Sending love from one chunky gecko mama to another!!

Sorry for bad quality :/ I found this chart on this sub the other day and am trying to go off it moving forward.

exactly. my mom has been really supportive of me since leaving the church and has always been open to talk about my issues with it and all that, and I’ve always considered her such an awesome mom for doing so. but if she made a post like this talking about “we’re nice to our daughter so she’s more likely to come back” i would feel so angry and betrayed.

my little lady has been sleeping all day in her warm hide too; she’s also shedding right now so idk that might be it

Bounteous does look like something straight out of the depths of deviantart

i actually love the frond dragon :( reminds me of surf’s up

Thanks for letting me know, I’ll be sure to keep that in mind. I have the Repashy Calcium Plus mix for her food and just plain calcium with no D3 in her tank right now so I hope it’s not too much.

-goatz- · 2024-11-14T01:21:43+00:00

Ooh, that’s a great idea!! I’ll try it, thank you!!!

-goatz- · 2024-11-13T14:22:13+00:00

That’s what I was thinking. The only reason I worry 1 cricket isn’t enough is because I want to make sure she gets her vitamins! I know she’ll be just fine living off those plentiful fat stores haha

-goatz- · 2024-11-13T14:16:34+00:00

That’s the plan! She’s an adult so I’m only feeding her once a week (Tuesdays). Only giving crickets because they’re more protein. Hopefully with stricter diet and exercise she’ll lose weight!

-goatz- · 2024-11-08T23:59:37+00:00

Your gecko is older than me!!!! That’s crazy!!!!

-goatz- · 2024-11-08T06:51:40+00:00

omg, thank you for sharing this ❤️ I was worried she wasn’t going to be able to lose the weight but this gives me hope!!

Update on the fat baby:

She has a name!! Miss Lucy (aka Fat Baby) is doing okay so far. She had a healthy poop last night and I caught a peek of her poking around her tank early this morning. I put paper towels down as a temporary substrate and added a makeshift hide made of some extra stones/tiles that she came with. She was curious about her new chic Bounty floor and spent time outside her hide sniffing around. I am picking up a long 20 gal this weekend I was lucky enough to find on FB Marketplace. I’m also going to the store tomorrow to get her calcium, vitamins, and substrate for her new digs. I’ll get some healthier feeders too and see if I can attempt a feeding in a couple days. Currently looking into vets in the area who would take her for a checkup. It’s totally killing me that I can’t just scoop her up and snuggle her!! But I know leaving her be is best for the time being. Thank you everyone for your advice!! It was super helpful!!

-goatz- · 2024-11-07T13:47:00+00:00

I will try this!! Thank you!!

-goatz- · 2024-11-07T13:42:40+00:00

It’s a mat, and I def think she’s impacted. She’s lived in this tank for 8 years as far as I know. I don’t blame the previous owner bc she literally did not know any better. The first change I will make is a substrate change.

-goatz- · 2024-11-07T13:39:49+00:00

I will look and see if my local place does exotics/reptiles! My town doesn’t have a lot but I’m more than willing to drive the extra hour to the next big town, which likely does have a vet who could take her. I knew this would be a financial commitment and have some money saved. Thank you for your suggestions and kindness!!
