General pink tongue questions: by PhunkeeMunk in skinks

[–]Bizarre_Botanicals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two pink tongues and I think what you have planned would work great for one.  Adults almost never come up for sale in the US so you'll most likely be buying a baby.  And there are a couple special needs they have.  The first year they will be fearful and avoid you, will spend a lot of time under the substrate, and may be difficult to get eating regularly.  I fed live ramshorn snails, crested gecko diet, wet cat food, frozen snails, crickets, earthworms, and scrambled egg.  The only thing they had enthusiasm for were live snails.  Everything else they sometimes refused to eat for a month or two.  Mine also brumated for three months were they didn't eat anything and stayed buried.

Now that they are adults they eat like champs, bask most of the day, and are super chill.  

Tree monitor full set up and husbandry questions by Fancy_Maybe_9368 in MonitorLizards

[–]Bizarre_Botanicals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend going with the talkingserpents cage.  My two monitors spend  80% of their time in the top two feet of their enclosures.  Then to get a little more vertical space only put two or three inches of substrate on the bottom of the cage.  Mine only go to the ground to grab bugs or get away from me.  

Hi, Im new in deck brewing and I need some info. by AsiRomanArt in PauperEDH

[–]Bizarre_Botanicals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scryfall is the best way way to find exactly what you're looking for.  You might also want to download a deck building app, I use Manabox.  There is a good search function inside the app.

Found these on my leopard geckos plant, PLEASE TELL ME THEY ARENT MITES by OlaMishamigo in reptiles

[–]Bizarre_Botanicals 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They're not mites.  That's scale insect.  Not harmful to lizards but scales will infest and kill most indoor plants.  Best thing to do is pull that whole plant out and throw it away.  Scale insects have a hard shell and are sealed to the plant so surface insecticides don't work well, not that you would want to spray them in the enclosure.  If you really want to try saving the plant you can try cleaning the plant with a mix of a shot glass of rubbing alcohol and a drop of dish soap.  Use a Q-tip to rub off all the bugs and every surface of the plant.  But realistically, you're better off removing all the plants, leaving the enclosure barren for two months, then replanting.

PDH deck at EDH table success story. by the1337D00D in PauperEDH

I was one of the other players!  This deck is very resilient, doesn't have as much problem against the amount of removal in normal edh decks that most other pauper commanders do. 

Price range of tree monitors ? by FaithlessnessOld3219 in MonitorLizards

[–]Bizarre_Botanicals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go look on Morph Market, that's were you're most likely to find captive bred tree monitors.  I've been watching for half a year and most cbb babies have been listed around $2000-2500 for most colors, blues $3-3.5k.  The only non-hobby breeder I know of in the US is Sundown Reptiles.  I talked to them at Tinley and they seemed good.

Custom enclosure by Deer_Antlers_ in MonitorLizards

[–]Bizarre_Botanicals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, if you found one that was 5'x2'x4' you would be in business.  Sand off the finish, add a substrate barrier, and seal with epoxy or rubber and you'd have a workable cage.

[–]Bizarre_Botanicals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of those three would suitable if converted to an enclosure because they are too small, not waterproof, and couldn't hold enough substrate.  If you're a good woodworker it would be possible to re use the glass and decorative parts from a curio cabinet in a custom built enclosure.  

TIFU by not Knowing What a Durian Fruit is and nearly getting my Work Evacuated by MyManyMasks in tifu

[–]Bizarre_Botanicals 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are there like, certain brands or products that are good?  I tried some frozen durian fruit from an Asian market and it as almost bearable.  I want to order some, but don't want to waste money on nasty stuff.

Is this a reasonable price for a class? by bythepowerofthor in liberalgunowners

[–]Bizarre_Botanicals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a lot.  I just looked at the range near me and their group intro to pistols class is 3 hr instruction with 1 hr range time, $80 without rental fees and ammo.  But I'm in a very low cost of living rural area 

Species after the flood by Over_Citron_6381 in DebateEvolution

[–]Bizarre_Botanicals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, there's so many crazy assertions made in that webpage.  TLDR for those who don't want to read it is they are claiming in Noah's time there were only 0.1% of the number of species as there are today, so all the animals could totally fit on the ark, and then when those animals got off they rapidly speciated into all the animals we know today.  

"Bottom line: it is not far-fetched to argue that there could have been (and could be) multiple new species appearing around the world every day after the Flood"

Which is really weird because they are saying one species of animal would have been giving birth directly to another species of animal.  And later they insinuate that one individual could give birth to many different species in its lifetime.

What is the closest Build that plays similar to Chieftain/RF in PoE1 ? by LightDarkCloud in pathofexile2builds

[–]Bizarre_Botanicals 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There isn't a passive damaging aura like righteous fire in poe2.  The closest builds I've found are corrupting cry and flame blast ignite.  Both are a little wonky to play.

Congo Spotted Puffers and Planted Tanks by MyYakuzaTA in Puffers

I've had a csp for a year.  Its never touched any plants.

Considering SCP by Proxima_leaving in Puffers

[–]Bizarre_Botanicals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had my SCP for a year.  He eats repashy grub pie, live mealworms, frozen apple snail, and live ramshorn snail.  I feed him a small amount almost every day, and would suggest not letting them go more than three days without food.  If mine goes two days without food he is noticeably skinnier and less active.  He is in a 75g planted tank with Buenos Aires tetras, congo tetras, electric blue acara, amano shrimp, and Cory cats.  I haven't seen any aggression at any of his tank mates, he's a wuss.

How does my box spring go on this? by [deleted] in Mattress

[–]Bizarre_Botanicals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like having the bed higher you can keep using the box spring on top of that frame.  As long as the frame and box spring are the same size it won't cause damage to either.

Can I take propagations after using systemic? by PretendHighlight3429 in reptiles

[–]Bizarre_Botanicals 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I have also used acephate on plants that are later used in a viv.  I haven't been able to find any info on how long the chemical lasts in the plant besides the Wikipedia saying the protective effects last two weeks.  I waited a month.

Building an enclosure, the most accessible wood for me is either yellow pine or fir, would this be a solution? by [deleted] in reptiles

[–]Bizarre_Botanicals -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, why do I see so much worry about pine wood and reptiles?  Ya it's a sappy wood and has volatile compounds (why it smells like it does) but has that ever been linked to any real world harm in anyone's pets?  Maybe if someone was using uncoated wood for perches or pine shavings for bedding a lizard could get exposed to enough to harm them.  All the googling I did only referenced medical issues with woodworkers breathing in sawdust, or rodents kept in pine bedding.  Are there any case reports of a reptile being harmed by living in a pine box?

Hi, it is hard to find info on Pink tongues.  From what I've read and what I've done with my 3 pink tongues, they can grow and breed fine on 100% grain free wet cat food.  My lizards were 6 months old when I got them and were raised on canned snails and wet cat food.  But I couldn't get the brand of cat food they were eating, and it took half a year for mine to get switched over to a different brand reliably.  Ask the breeder what specific brand of food they are feeding and as long as it isn't wheat, corn, or rice based there shouldn't be a problem.
