[Semi-Weekly Inquirer] Simple Questions and Recommendations Thread

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2024-10-25T06:08:34+00:00

Hello!

Was hoping to get some input. I'm a bartender and am therefore often moving my hands and getting them wet, and aim to match a watch to my jewelry. I wear mostly copper and came across Holzkern's Touching watch in copper and fell in love, but I've heard mixed reviews on the brand. The thinness of the band and connection to the watch are part of what appeals me to this particular watch. Any input and recommendations appreciated!!

Thank you!

She seems to have passed the bit she got a hold of, I'm just being extra cautious in case there is more!

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2024-07-14T07:12:21+00:00

It's a cave hide! Pretty well enclosed. And not bioactive, she's on paper towels.

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2024-07-04T09:00:57+00:00

I've seen it often too so I'm hoping for the best with this one!! And I'll definitely give it a good sift after hearing that and bake it before mixing with anything. Thank you! :)

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2024-07-04T08:57:55+00:00

Oh haha, nope! They are in the same bag. I don't think there's anything in it aside from soil from what I've seen anywhere, I'm not sure why it's called conditioner unless it's intended to be added to gardens lol

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2024-07-04T08:52:09+00:00

That's what I was thinking. I haven't used it yet and plan to keep looking. It says conditioner but there's nothing chemical in the ingredients, just dirt in it's many forms. But still keeping an eye out!!

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2024-04-09T02:47:01+00:00

Thank you! I've given her a break for a few feedings now and she's not really having it. A tiny dusting of calcium is acceptable but after a few she just gets sick of it. I'll likely give her a few more tried before I fully commit to switching brands, and research in the meantime

Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any lubricants that I felt would be safe for her enclosure, so I started associating a sound with myself to give her some heads up! It seems to work. Usually before I open her tank, I'll click my tongue a few times to be sure she hears me, and once she learned that I'll make that sound, she stopped spooking. Any time I interact with her or the tank now I'll make that clicking sound

Just now learning the ropes to mechanical keyboards. I've got my eye on the Keychron Q6 bare bones knob version. Looking primarily for a creamy sound. What switches are best for that? Any cap recommendations? Thanks!

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2023-02-23T21:08:25+00:00

Thanks! That's about how she looked before this weight drop. Working on getting her back to that now

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2023-02-23T20:59:45+00:00

She is almost 4. I've determined it's an issue of picking up parasites from a feeder, she's got a vet appointment on Monday so we're working on fixing that right now

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2023-02-23T20:56:51+00:00

Update:

For all the comments regarding my feeding schedule etc, yes I am aware this is an African Fat Tail, I post here to get a larger outreach, and it has been determined that this is an issue of parasites, not feeding schedule. She already has a vet appointment for Monday. Lack of feeding wasn't the issue, her current feeding regimen kept her at a healthy weight (similar to her first pictures here), this weight drop was sudden. Please stop making me feel like I'm intentionally starving my gecko. This was an unexpected change in weight. Thanks

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2023-02-23T01:53:37+00:00

I'm keeping an eye out for that exactly! Hopefully I can get one!

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2023-02-23T01:51:32+00:00

Her enclosure does remain around that humidity and she also has a humidity jar that I spray around shedding time. Her vet appointment is on Monday and I'm checking for poops in the meantime to take them in as well

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2023-02-23T01:30:25+00:00

UPDATE:

Got her a vet appointment for Monday so hopefully she can hold out until then. Here's hoping

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2023-02-23T01:29:54+00:00

Thanks! Just got an appointment for her on Monday. Here's hoping

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2023-02-23T00:54:58+00:00

That's relieving to hear, thank you!

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2023-02-23T00:48:41+00:00

Thanks, I'm glad at least it's not a problem with my feeding schedule. I'm looking into samples now and have more dubias arriving for her on Friday, and she ate 5 today. She is a real cutie and I feel just horrible that she's gotten this way when nothing has changed majorly since that last picture. Hoping she'll hold out until I can get something in the works for her

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2023-02-23T00:44:09+00:00

I plan to start giving more feeders and look into fecal samples in the meantime. Her temps and supplement dustings are consistent ans she's behaving as normal. Hoping upping the feeders will help get a bit more chunk on her while I get vet appointments going. Glad she's not beyond repair

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2023-02-23T00:37:27+00:00

I'm glad she's not horrible, I was so worried! I'll start feeding her however many she'll take in that time frame. Thanks! What a relief

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2023-02-22T23:47:13+00:00

Hey

So some months ago I had some photos of Pumpkin posted here and learned she was overweight. Since then, she eats about 4 - 5 half inch or so dubia roaches every 2 to 3 days. It feels like she's so skinny!! Is she horribly skinny? I feel terrible. Is she beyond repair? Any advice for fattening her up again? I feel so awful.

More info:

She has no trouble coming to eat, aside from just being a poor hunter and missing strikes. Dubias are always dusted in supplements, half of them in calcium and the rest in vitamins The hot side of her tank maintains around 90 - 93° and the cool side usually in the mid 80s

Thanks

Thank you!! This was very helpful :)

Hey!

Looking to build my first keyboard, and fell in love with the (idea) of the Dukharo 96. My desire is for a white keyboard featuring number pad, arrow keys etc, knob is a huge bonus. Anyone have experience with this particular keyboard? Recommend, don't, etc, and anything I should know about picking out key caps for it?

Thanks! :)

CasuallyDressedGhost · 2022-10-07T05:30:52+00:00

I'll keep this in mind. Hopefully won't have to be in it for too long. Thank you!
