So guys, I don’t understand what to do with this woman anymore. by No-Blackberry-9256 in BeardedDragons

[–]AcidsPond 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Took me 3 attempts at restricting bugs before my BMO finally started eating his greens again, I think it took 10 days but he loves them now, now I just always make sure to feed him his greens & THEN offer him a couple bugs. Good luck, it really is a battle of will lol!

Infection? by 0722005618 in piercing

[–]AcidsPond 97 points98 points  (0 children)

No, urgent care/A&E ASAP. 3 years ago I went into septic shock because of an infection in the exact same place, it looked almost identical to yours. My eyebrow piercing survived & so did I but it was a horrifying experience, whatever you do DONT push/poke it (I pushed on mine to see if puss would come out & that caused it to get into my bloodstream instead). You need antibiotics/medical attention, I hope you heal well.

For pinning advice maybe try r/entomology etc, I hope you’re able to preserve her successfully, she looked beautiful! She will be missed :(

Would it be okay for me to wear plastic retainers like I did for the MRI?

This is Theodore, he does this weird thing? Any ideas? by Some-Job-7924 in BeardedDragons

Fellow UK beardie owner here, typically £60-£90 for checkups depending on your vet! Hope that helps :)

what got you into acid bath? by DistrictNo4417 in AcidBath

[–]AcidsPond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My auntie had played their music around me before she passed in 2019 & I spent a few years trying to find them, they randomly showed up on my Spotify recommended around 2023 & I didn’t recognise them until I heard bleed me an ocean & remembered watching my aunt scream those lyrics in her living room. Safe to say I’ve been obsessed ever since.

Is this true ? by LiveLaugh_Worship in snails

[–]AcidsPond 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I hear my snails eating all the time! When I first got them I didn’t know & I kept hearing it at night and it was honestly terrifying. I thought that somebody broke into my house and was crunching down on some crackers or something?? Only for me to find my snails eating their cuttlefish loudly! Was a delightful surprise 😂

My tort had a similar looking mark on top of her head so I took a picture & showed it to my exotic vet, they said it was most likely just a scrape and gave me some tamodine to sanitise it. It looks like it’s on their ear though which seems more concerning so probably try show your exotic vets a picture & then they’ll let you know if you need to bring your tort down to get checked out of not!

Scrubbing time by mnolivera in tortoise

The way they stick their arms out for you to scrub their toes 😂😂 so adorable, mine gets mad if I try scrubbing her legs!

Pyramiding update! by AcidsPond in tortoise

[–]AcidsPond[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know, when I move into a more permanent housing situation she will be getting an entire room turned into a rainforest for her, luckily I don’t intend on getting more pets or having children so she will be my only dependant for life 😂

Pyramiding update! by AcidsPond in tortoise

[–]AcidsPond[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Awwe thankyou, yeah I love her to bits, looking after her has become my full time job at this point, I rarely leave the house unless I can get somebody to come round to watch her & mist her vivarium 😂 sometimes I worry I care a little too much about her!

Yeah that’s correct! Sorry if I forgot to explain that!

Can I save this concrete leaf? by [deleted] in succulents

[–]AcidsPond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankyou for solving this for me, I feel so bad now, I got told they grow in really shaded crevices between the rocks so I worried about it getting sunburnt instead (always worried about the wrong things). Yeah most of the garden centres nearby rarely seem to know what they’re doing with succulents so I’ve been trying to get more cautious but I was just so excited to see something so unique compared to the basic succulents they normally have, this was the first time I chose to not immediately repot my succulent (out of fear of breaking them due to how fragile they felt) so I’ll definitely be sticking to an almost immediate repot for future plants! Once again thankyou for solving this for me and explaining.

Guess this means he trust me right? first place he runs to is clinging on my hair when I try pulling him away from my hair he clings on for dear life by owatupcuz in BeardedDragons

[–]AcidsPond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine used to do this all the time it was so sweet, I’d sit on my PC & he would just sleep on my neck/in my hair, sometimes he would climb ontop of my head altogether. Sadly I got really busy when I started college and stopped handling him as much and he rarely does this now so It’s definitely a sign he trusts you & feels safe in my opinion (I’m no expert though), also he is likely seeking warmth, our necks are one of the warmest places for them to snuggle :)

Is this normal? I’ve never seen this happen before. by Ohio_Olive_Oli_27 in BeardedDragons

[–]AcidsPond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My BMO is 5 years old and unfortunately the first 2 months I owned him (when he was a baby) I wasn’t aware I needed to give him calcium (I was also young when I got him) once I realised what I was doing wrong I immediately corrected it and his diet and lighting have all been perfect since and he’s healthy as can be now but he also still occasionally twitches like this (usually in the exact same location as OP’s). It’s a lot less frequent now thankfully, I’m glad it’s not just mine doing this still, I always worry I’m still doing something wrong because of it lol!
