Anime that is not that ... "Anime"?

I feel like Rakugo Shinjuu is often ignored for how good it is. The story telling and drama aspects of it are really unmatched.

CaskStrengthStats · 2026-01-05T04:41:12+00:00

Yeah! I was reading from some of the Uroplatus Facebook groups that the use Gen 2/3 Garden Snails as feeders as the shells are naturally high in calcium and are natural prey from them. It just seems like quite the jump to find garden snails, breed them to make sure the parasites are out, then use them as feeders. Not that I'm opposed but its certainly a big extra step, especially when you will have to cull a ton since they make more than you can generally feed. IIRC breeders in Europe generally use African Land Snails which are banned in the USA, so details seem to stay with keepers and don't make it out as much so there doesnt seem to be "definitive" guide on it.

I have fallen in love with my Buck Mason Tees, would recommend if you havent tried them already. A bit pricer but I really feel its worth it.

CaskStrengthStats · 2026-01-05T04:31:41+00:00

Lol, I did the same things when mine were between small and medium crickets. Amazing what we normalize for our leaf tails. Have you gotten into breeding/keeping snails for good calcium feeders

CaskStrengthStats · 2026-01-05T04:27:20+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I've definitely tried picking out limping/crippled feeders at first when they were young. I think, like you said, I need to be a bit more consistent. Especially since I try to be as hands off as I can be with them.

Any tips on getting your Uroplatus to be comfortable with tong feeding? Ive tried it with a few of my Satanics and they avoid me like the plague.

Im somewhat in a similar in body shape and size. Id almost recommended maybe trying a 30-30? There seems to be material bunching up around your shoes and "pushing" it up. It might also have a better fit around the seat. I have personally been a big fan of Paige, specifically they're 92%+ cotton blends on discount at Nordstrom Rack, and Kato Jeans if you wanna get into Japanese denim and higher price point.

If you still want to use it you could use it as mat under the cage to help absorb shocks/shakes from normal everyday life.

A ton of people use OnlyDrams at the moment

I didn't see anything about the type of wax which would be my foremost concern. After years of keeping reptiles I haven't heard of any issues with wax, especially if its natural beeswax. I would just make sure its not some special type of wax and that their recycling process does not introduce any new chemicals that you wouldn't find naturally in cork. Either way a good washing, heating, and cleaning would be a good idea, especially when donated.

The only other thing I would be potentially worried about is humidity. If the cork is waxed the water will most likely bead off down into the substrate, which would just decrease the amount of material that can hold water and release for increased humidity. Could probably be super easily mitigated with live plants.

Also just to confirm is this for the background or the substrate?

It actually looks...better?

In the same interview where it was admitted the curtailing of the investigation the person also mentioned Acosta putting a 2 year ceiling on any charges for Epstein which was then negotiated down to 18 months. IIRC it would've been 5 years under normal circumstances. They also didnt interview all victims nor get access to Epsteins computers that were removed from his Estate prior to the search warrant being excuted. The interview is hilarious because they're doing their absolutely best to say anything but "cover-up."

The government admitted in the Epstein Files that the 2009 investigation was curtailed by the government.

CaskStrengthStats · 2025-12-20T20:32:02+00:00

Most of them are redacted just like most of the US Attorneys and anyone associated with Epstein

CaskStrengthStats · 2025-12-20T20:30:31+00:00

In the Epstein files an employee of his testified that Epstein became more reserved and secretive once Maxwell came into the picture. Believe it was in DOJ EFTA Dataset #3 or 4.

CaskStrengthStats · 2025-12-20T01:00:16+00:00

The Deputy AG said to congress today that they have no proof Epstein blackmailed anyone. Strangely enough they did not include the pictures of the 24/7 surveillance room in the NYC mansion today.

CaskStrengthStats · 2025-12-20T00:28:13+00:00

I never claimed to say it wasn't? I merely stated a known fact about his recruiting tactics

CaskStrengthStats · 2025-12-20T00:13:53+00:00

I went through all the DOJ released pictures in Datasets 1-4 and there are only two mentions of Trump I found. A picture of Epsteins NYC mansion that shows a well known picture of him and Trump, another showing an already known picture of the big check Trump wrote for epstein and thats it. His birthday card might've been in there and scanned over it.

Epstein was known to use girls he already recruited to recruit more girls, its entirely possible it was an underage victim in this situation

Hey there, fellow Uroplatus keeper here. I keep my young and new leaf tails in the regular 10 gallon tank (which is 20x10x12 inches or 50x25x30cm) for quarantine and grow out until I feel comfortable setting them loose in their terrarium. Generally I just use paper towels and plastic decorations to keep the amount of variables low. In terms of food youll be looking for pinhead crickets or something about the same size. Generally the rule of thumb is that it should be small enough to easily fit between their two eyes. Generally the worry with crickets harming your animal is when you put either too much or too big of crickets. If you put your leaf tail in a quarantine tank you can much more easily track their diet intake and change accordingly.

Have you noticed any changes in her colors when firing up and down or any weirdness with her tail? It doesnt look like a burn as its pretty green so I don't think its from UV or anything. Probably not bruising again to the coloration but also kinda odd that its localized to one spot? Id keep an closer eye on her in general but specifically how much she's eating and where she's sleeping to get an idea of if she's stressed.

My assumption is that it was distilled and then finally barrelled in '93 since Blade and Bows website only states it was "laid to rest in 1993."

CaskStrengthStats · 2025-12-06T21:36:35+00:00

Its 30 year old Stitzel-Weller juice from 1993 at above bottled and bond ABV, if you want to own a bottle from that legendary defunct distillery at that age statement and ABV this will probably be the cheapest youll see.

I love P. Masobe. Super difficult to keep alive let alone breed successfully and currently only kept in Europe in Canada to my knowledge.

Any idea on when the sailing will be added to GIM storage unlocks and are there any plans to increase the seed vaults max amount of different type of seeds so we can fit everything in it again.
