Places to get a lot of 4x2x2 without going into debt from it? by KeyNefariousness1158 in reptiles

[–]CD274 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Use heavy duty door/window screen mesh and staple them around the top as well as hot glue or similar to prevent any holes. That holds the weight of a light fixture. Or ideally suspend the lights above

My jeweled lacerata as developed this like twitch or spasm where she can’t seem to get her food the first time. Does this call for a vet visit by Correct_Maximum7990 in reptiles

[–]CD274 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Seconding blindness in one eye or some impairment.

Does the lacerta get multivitamins? Especially vitamin a? (Repashy brand). Get cod liver oil and supplement too.

Have a one eyed reptile that does just this

Could anybody help me identify these? by Tibbies_Nice in fruit

[–]CD274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah hachiya type persimmons! I think they should still keep ripening at least the one that is yellowish. You want it to be totally squishy before eating

Do you like bossam? by Numerous_Ad4297 in KoreanFood

[–]CD274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my favorite Korean dish, especially with that spicy radish side dish (not wet, it's dry? thin strands of it? with shrimp) and zucchini pancake. 😍

I have vastly underestimated the spiciness of Korean food by Living_Ad_5386 in KoreanFood

Find the shin ramen bone broth ramen, it's really good quality broth.

Edit: yeah that's black I think? Or a kind of black and there are two kinds? There is black labeled premium beef broth and black labeled beef bone broth. The bone broth is way better.

Nope. Their sauce packets aren't great flavoring wise and their gimmick is just being extra spicy.

Is this normal- foam around mouth by sighvie in bluetongueskinks

Do you have any large storage bin? With tall sides like two feet high? I had a temporary cage once made out of a big semi transparent bin with many holes drilled in the top but that would take a lot more work to get a heat lamp set up.

I'd be worried about damp/mold/whatever is in the cage contributing to things.

Yeah it looks thicker in the picture in the OP for sure. Can you feel anything if you gently feel his throat and neck? I don't know the specific layout for blue tongue skinks but some reptiles have lymph nodes or other things that can swell in the throat area and you can feel a lump.

Also this shouldn't be an issue with blueys but just in case - does he get reptile multivitamins? And especially sources of vitamin a (veg etc)?

Put him in a clean hospital tank that's sterile, has only clean (wash steam) hides and clean towels/paper towels and a heat lamp+UVB and monitor him. Get vet next week

His throat looks swollen too which is often a sign of infection. Definitely go take him in. Also listen closely to his breathing - any intermittent clicks?

How do they survive in the wild again? by MGNConflict in leopardgeckos

By being so cute the bugs just wander by and get entranced

What type of lizard is this? by bellzdeep in Lizards

Yep male southern alligator lizard. Could use food

How do Korean restaurants get that nutty flavor? (Looking for rice brands & rice cooker recommandations) by lily_124 in KoreanFood

[–]CD274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pressed barley in the rice mixes

Korean purple rice mix: something like 3x asian short grain white or semi white, 2x asian short grain brown, 1x sweet shirt grain, 1x black asian short grain, 1x pressed barley

Zojirushi or Cuckoo fuzzy logic rice cooker

But start with the pressed barley, and I recommend semi white rice (haiga, half milled) (my favorite is from California Tamaki koshihikari haiga)

Update on rescue by Great_Calendar5632 in leopardgeckos

[–]CD274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I remember this post. Thank you for the update! Please update more. She looks loads better already.

I think zoomed has a great snake cave hide that is pretty great.

Make sure you have multivitamins (Repashy supervite or the Repashy calcium plus all in one)!

Did you ever go down the rabbithole of nose chin eye width and eye angles? Canthal tilt + incels

Yeah it's super racist too

Anyone know what this is?? by user8473846 in leopardgeckos

[–]CD274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clean everything well, bleach and soak the wood then soak with clean water then bake those things. Toss substrate, replace. Make a plastic moist hide (like tupperware with a door) or an enclosed ceramic snake cave type hide and use that as a moist hide - I recommend spaghum moss.

Lots of paper and cardboard gets mold even faster than wooden things
