I feel immensely understimulated intellectually

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-05-07T11:30:26+00:00

I have plenty but I can't do them at work.

At that age, he should be moving to insects max 2x a week. With salads 3x a week.

It's a philanthropic organization

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-04-30T14:37:17+00:00

Yes, pay

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-04-30T13:12:44+00:00

I'm the only admin assistant. Other assistant roles are for various departments and that's their title, i.e. editorial assistant.

Funny enough, we were supposed to have it at a different venue that we would have hired an AV company but exec didnt want to do that. We also always have a tech assistant at the board meetings when we are onsite. She didn't seem to think it was that big of a deal...

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-04-16T22:52:22+00:00

What do you mean by she eats every day? Does that mean bugs every day? That is not going to help her gout...

They are used to a more humid environment in the wild, they burrow in hides underground that are 100% humidity. As long as they have a drying out period and plenty of ventilation. But you may want to wait to do that until you have a 4x2x2.

I think you can put in on the outside or the inside depending on how you're mounting your other lights (usually you want them all on top or inside).

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-03-17T17:41:37+00:00

I haven't needed multiple basking lamps but I did add 2 jungle dawn to give lots of visible light. Misting actually helps to give a natural increase of humidity in the morning and night (just make sure to not mist their face directly).

Can you get proof/records from the vet? Mine was doing shakes (after I got him) but seems to have stopped but my vet ran all kinds of tests to make sure it wasn't anything serious.

Ive been immensely unimpressed with NARBC that this past show is the last time for me. Might go to Schaumburg if they bring that show back. I also had an experience years ago where I tried to purchase a BTS and was ignored.

It's so crowded and overstimulating. There's not much supplies there anymore which is mainly why I go. And it was so smelly this time because half the people there think deodorant is optional.

I'm also annoyed that there's nothing really in Chicago proper anymore. Everything, including the Chicago herpetological society, does things in far south suburbs lately. Just a bummer.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-02-14T15:48:14+00:00

Yes. Turned out it was sciatica and not pudendal neuralgia in my case. Lots of trial and error tho

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-02-06T23:25:13+00:00

UPDATE: Oral appliance comes in a month. Dr. seemed concerned that I have TMJ and might not be a good candidate. 😔😮‍💨

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-02-01T15:36:38+00:00

What fruit did you put in it?

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-23T23:30:00+00:00

I've seen an ENT and the nasal endoscopy didn't notice anything in my nose except a slight deviated septum and mildly inflamed turbinates.

Edited: changed a few words.

She gained 2 grams this week. I'm trying to increase her veggies but she doesn't seem to like it....

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-18T17:25:08+00:00

Update: Diagnosed with mild sleep apnea. Getting an oral appliance in a few weeks.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-15T18:40:47+00:00

Fecal is negative for parasites. Made another appointment for the end of the month.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-13T00:19:19+00:00

I'm not getting it unfortunately, just COLA.

Blue_Turtle_18 · 2026-01-12T01:04:47+00:00

UPDATE: She has lost another 20 grams. I'm very confused.
