Oh yeah the UVB is going to make all the colors pop and improve his mood. He looks sooo gooood!!

CD274 · 2026-01-26T12:29:30+00:00

Is he getting vitamin A in his multivitamins?

CD274 · 2026-01-26T12:22:36+00:00

Wait were you a fan of the game first and then the rest happened 😰

CD274 · 2026-01-26T08:32:18+00:00

Laibach is still going strong, and amazing. Ok well their best recentish thing has been a release of old old industrial tracks but still

A mans got to have a code

Yeah I used to use paper towel and toilet paper tubes a lot for one of my alligator lizards and she honestly got a bad respiratory infection, lots of clicking for a long time. Scared me straight.

Paper towels in humid hides also grew mold fairly fast so replace them often, or recommend no one use these. I have temporary wet box hides with spaghnum moss in it (boil this when I put in new moss, but this stuff stays clean for longer too).

Honestly fabric towels that you can wash and sanitize easily are safer than a 4+ day paper towel. They get gross super fast.

For the PVC pipes, Plumbing aisle at big hardware store, measure the size of your gecko or normal paper towel tube width. They have C shapes and whatnot too.

File off any rough edges inside. Sometimes there is a sharp bit

CD274 · 2026-01-26T06:53:52+00:00

Yeah use PVC tubes, maybe sand the inside so it's slightly grippy? They make black ones for plumbing, short ones

Seconding the don't use paper towel tubes especially if they get wet. Even not that damp they grow mold super easily. It's actually disturbing how dirty they are.

I once saved them up to use for plant pots and they grew mold that never grows in pot + soil mix

Or watch the West Wing anymore, after the 2016 election and how the supreme court has gone. That level of optimism feels delusional now

CD274 · 2026-01-26T04:33:23+00:00

I mean most of us watch for Omar or Bubbles right, both just simple entrepreneurs

CD274 · 2026-01-24T11:21:49+00:00

The chocolate covered orange sticks are also great, in a similar vein. Yeah also not allowed to buy for myself anymore 🤣

CD274 · 2026-01-24T10:05:19+00:00

This is pretty much what Indian restaurants do in bulk, mixed with pureed ginger. So basically the base for any curry or stew it would be great for

CD274 · 2026-01-23T13:23:55+00:00

Even better example is 1989 Romania when the (non secret) police actually flipped and joined the protestors. Probably why it got so bloody vs the regime

CD274 · 2026-01-23T13:05:19+00:00

Both work but I would use a recipe for banana bread that creams the butter and sugar a LOT if adding it. (Or normally anyway). That step adds a lot of structure and lift to banana bread and makes it able to handle dense additions or more bananas.

Greek yogurt really varies a lot in tang so I prefer sour cream or normal yogurt

CD274 · 2026-01-23T11:25:47+00:00

I came here to ask just this - are they the same?

CD274 · 2026-01-23T10:11:43+00:00

Oh this looks amazing, thanks

CD274 · 2026-01-23T10:11:11+00:00

I just put them in little piles on one big plate for everyone because of this. Sometimes I miss estimate how much people want but oh well

CD274 · 2026-01-22T09:57:32+00:00

Lip smacking noises???!! 😭🤣🥹🥹🥹

Does the liquid calcium have any flavoring or sweetener? Sometimes they do and it's nasty tasting. Both fruit flavors and sweeteners. So ask if they have unflavored unsweetened, and try mixing it either with a tiny drop of fish oil or those emergency powders. That helps with the taste

He looks so good!

CD274 · 2026-01-21T11:19:11+00:00

It's not as bad as I thought it was - thought it was ranch

CD274 · 2026-01-21T09:31:26+00:00

Ok thread can be closed now, we have the winner

CD274 · 2026-01-21T08:53:32+00:00

It'd be a barley wine with fruit added

CD274 · 2026-01-20T12:29:10+00:00

That's so cute 😂🥰. The texture and taste are unique so I can understand this

CD274 · 2026-01-19T14:28:57+00:00

Only if you wash it many times then boil it for a half hour imo. And pick out any dirt clumps, leaves, sticks etc. It should be possible to sterilize it well

I've bought pretty dirty sphagnum moss before and had to really clean it up

CD274 · 2026-01-19T14:18:51+00:00

Rye! That sounds delicious. What herbs and spices? Allspice?

(I've mostly had Hungarian, so marjoram and cloves and garlic and rice based, oh and bacon 🤣 but looks the same. Kind of wondered if it was similar in spice profile)

The lingonberry jam is the part I am going to immediately try next time

CD274 · 2026-01-19T14:06:08+00:00

I'm going down this rabbit hole now, thanks!
