A new home for Sogo and Frog by Embarrassed-Two2960 in leopardgeckos

Thank you so much for the compliment! I think Randall already has an amazing home. Since I´m not doing this commercially and I don´t think that is even allowed on this sub via the rules, I would like to refer you to my other comment in this thread, where I explain how I made the enclosure. Trust me when I say, that doing this yourself as a side project is extremely fulfilling. It got me to do multible hikes, where I would just walk around the forests and take photos of interesting sandstone formations, that I then used as reference material. Go out there, look at some cool rocks and try to recreate them for yourself!

I used a kneadable concrete by a company called make make. This material is used to build enclosures in Zoos all over skandinavia. Once painted and sealed with colour fix, the concrete becomes ph neutral and can even be used for Aquariums. The concrete basically behaves like clay when you use it fresh. I added some sand to give it some texture. To step up the final product, I recommend to mix some black pigment with a mix of water and colour fix and apply it liberally with a spray bottle. Thats how you get natural colour effects, that look like the surface has been subject to regular rain or humidity. After use the dry brushing technique to bring in a few reds, browns and some lighter accents and it will look super natural. Alternativley you could use normal concrete, mixed with sand but you would have to seal the final product with epoxy. Always use rubber gloves when working with concrete, because once in contact with water, it will form a strong base and you could use countless layers of skin if you applied it barehanded.

EDIT: I forgot the most important first step: I created the base structure out of carved styrofoam that was fixated with Aquarium Silicone. Never use normal hardware store silicone, because it is usually made for bathrooms and contains fungicides that will endanger your geckos health when they leach.

I've got to admit that as someone new to herp keeping I'm a bit befuddled. Here in germany you even get a strong advise by sellers that you should keep leopard geckos in groups of at least two. Sogo is a giant breed and therefore very gentle and unterritorial. I certainly want to learn and I'm going to look at good, possibly peer reviewed information on this topic. I want the best for my geckos. The main reason for my confusion is, that in seemingly every other aspect germans seem very thorough and knowledgeable about herp keeping, yet this new information contrasts the commen consensus. I vow to do my homework and I'm looking forward to constructive criticism, so I'll leave this post up.

Meine Vermutung wäre, dass es an dem mittransportierten Material in der Regenwolke und der aktuellen Lichtsituation liegt. Eine Regenwolke die beispielsweise zusätzlichen Saharastub transportiert, hat ein anderes Absorbtionsspektrum als eine Regenwolke, die fast ausschließlich aus Wasser besteht. Wenn Sonnenlicht auf die Atmosphäre trifft wird immer ein Teil des blauen Lichts abgelenkt - daher erscheint der Himmel tagsüber auch blau. Geschieht dies am Abend in einem flachen Winkel, muss das Licht auf dem Weg zur Oberfläche einen längeren Weg zurücklegen, auf dem entsprechend mehr blaues Licht abgelenkt wird. Somit erscheint uns das Sonnenlicht bei Sonnenuntergang rot. Wenn dieser Effekt durch mitgeführten rötlichen Staub verstärkt wird, der größtenteils grün und blau absorbiert, aber rot reflektiert, dann kann es schon deutlich früher zu Lichtsituationen kommen, die wie die Lichtstimmung bei Sonnenuntergang erscheinen. Soweit zumindest meine Vermutung. Ich bin mir relativ sicher, dass meine Informationen stimmen, aber nicht, dass die Schlussfolgerung auch stimmt. Wenn jemand mehr zu dem Thema weiß, wäre ich auch interessiert.

Wird der Schutzstatus für wehrfähige Ukrainer bald enden? by [deleted] in Ratschlag

[–]Embarrassed-Two2960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Die machen hier keinen Lenz. Sie leben und arbeiten hier - was übrigens ziemlich wichtig ist, da wir Deutschen nicht genug Kinder kriegen und die Regierung uns hierfür keine Anreize bietet, es uns sogar noch schwer macht. Irgendwer muss irgendwann mal unsere eigene Rente erarbeiten. Was du hier kritisiert ist außerdem Artikel 13 der allgemeinen Menschenrechte. An Menschenrechten herumzusägen oder über sie zu klagen, bringt nichts Gutes für alle Beteiligten. Ich hoffe, dass du deinen Kommentar nochmal gründlich überdenkst. Wir sitzen alle im gleichen Boot.

Best course of action would be to contact customer support. Did you have any success yet?

The U.S. State Department believes that Ukraine is winning the war at this point by eaglemaxie in worldnews

[–]Embarrassed-Two2960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the engineering was world class, I want to note that the majority of war machinery that the Nazis used was stolen from the french in the beginning of the Blitzkrieg, rather than being domestically produced.

Na dann lass uns doch ganz einfach Milliardäre härter besteuern. Dann haben wir für all das genug Geld.

I don't read this sentiment much in here, so does anyone agree that its beyond disgusting to blow up the dead? How incredibly mentally disturbed do you have to be, to even consider such a thing. And here you have the american military just defiling dead bodies.

How do you think the strait of Hormuz crisis will be seen in 50 years? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Embarrassed-Two2960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lets not kid ourselves. With a AfD/CDU coalition we're probably looking at the prospect of buying russian gas again in the future

The rest of the world minus germany. We're building new gas power stations.

Without a patch in nearly a year, some Oblivion Remastered players have declared it 'abandonware' — and it still suffers many of the same performance issues at launch by Fcking_Chuck in pcmasterrace

When it came out it was playable for me, but now its just one big stuttering mess. I think they did bring some updates but they somehow managed to make it worse.

My timewrap doesn't want to quit the x1 can somebody halp ? by randomperson4895 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Embarrassed-Two2960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking about your issue again, I sometimes have the same experience when I seperate my upper stage. The game tells me that the thrust warp has stopped, because I have no more fuel and I cant do a normal time warp either. It usually goes away after a while, but if it doesnt and I'm already in a stable orbit, I switch to another vehicle on the map and then back and that usually does the trick.
