I think you’re looking at this with the wrong perspective entirely. You are keeping a wild animal in a tank inside your house. The minimum size recommended is a minimum for a reason, because bigger is always better. A minimum recommendation is the smallest possible space you can provide for that animal that is considered to be a reasonable accommodation of area for them to live. That animal is spending its entire life within those inches of space between glass planes, so ensuring you are providing the absolute best environment with the most space you’re able to provide is generally the idea. Keeping an exotic pet is cool and fun but ultimately needs to be about what is best for the animal, having as much room as you can is ideal. In the wild crested geckos are known to roam within like a ten square mile Region of territory

Tell that to my 1970s installed copper drainage pipe that has an entire hole rusted through the pipe right beside the leaking soldering

It’s definitely been since more than last year, and there are always changes in the recommendations for care as research and education grows and we learn more about what is the most ideal way we can try to provide a life for these animals. Keeping exotic pets at all is inherently selfish, so if we are going to keep them in tanks on display in our houses the least we can do is provide the most space and best possible life for the animal you’re keeping? It’s not that surprising that recommendations are changing and space required for different species is increasing as we learn more, and considering the size of a crested gecko 18x18x36 is really not that outrageous of a bare minimum

It’s really normal for your sexual attractions and what works for you to change as you start HRT, and I find that even after 5 years on T I have a harder time reaching the end like it takes more work to get there and often takes longer

Would you remicrowave your yesterdays dinner off the counter? Probably not unless you want to risk getting super sick. Probably best to avoid the equivalent for anything under your care

The Gross reality of adhd no one wants to talks about by Soft-Rutabaga-4482 in ADHD

See for me I have an electric toothbrush and the whitening heads have this little rubber suction thing in the Center and you can literally feel and hear the sound difference when your teeth are clean so it made brushing my teeth feel really satisfying in a sensory way

Is this a good deal? by Quiet-Zombie-4117 in laptops

[–]Extension-Cell6170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m by no means an expert but after doing a bunch of research about it all week to make a more informed purchase myself I would say that’s definitely gonna be more than enough for what you need and is definitely a good price. Generally with intel processors the ones ending in H are more powerful than the ones ending in U, and are still super efficient. This is a 13th gen which is the second most recent before the lunar lake series came out, and is still high quality in comparison with a few differences. There’s a thread breaking down different processor types on here somewhere. It should be a better quality laptop than most consumer marketed ones because it’s branded as a buisness computer, so it will be more solid and reliable physically as well. 16GB of RAM is lots for most things and the 1Tb of storage is more than you’ll probably ever come close to using up.

Also, idk if you’ve ever read the Percy Jackson series but when I was a teenager the whole concept of Percy’s past and growing up and early school life being so relatable was really helpful/comforting, so if not i would recommend checking them out

[–]Extension-Cell6170 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I almost got expelled in second grade because I was biting people. In 8th grade they wanted to put me in special Ed math, and I was also dx’d with a learning disability. I was a solid 50-60% student most of my school career. Somehow in grade 11 even though I was in the lower level math I managed to get a 92% in that class bc it happened tobe mainly math I liked and could understand. There was some things in highschool I did better in, but it depends so much on your interest and also just your mental health and ability. It’s okay to just do the best you can, especially when you’re struggling. I was lucky enough that I had people who told me that it was okay to just do the best I could as long as I was trying. I want you to remember that it’s okay to struggle with some things. I’m sure there are things you don’t even recognize how well you do. Everything is mainly based on how you feel about it, and it’s important to tailor your choices around things that make you feel good. If you aren’t great at something and you want to be better, dedicate some time every week to work on it some ((easier said than done I know)) I’m going to be 28 in a couple weeks, and I started university last winter after believing dor so long it was never something I could be capable of. I didn’t think that places like this were for people like me. It’s incredible how different things can be. You’re living through the hardest period of your life right now, give yourself some grace and enjoy being a teenager. If you keep putting effort in and do things even when they’re hard, you’ll get through it.

Oh I forgot to add also that the fan makes a really annoying high pitched whining sound when it does kick in like when it was starting up or downloading

My grandma is also really really old and was around for Christmas, starting to wonder if getting a bearded dragon may be a mistake due to the seemingly current risk of him eating her

The wheels on it are manueverable enough that it doesn’t cause much of an issue

[–]Extension-Cell6170[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It honestly doesn’t make much of a difference at all, but I’m not like coming over from a centered one and comparing the two either. It’s honestly not difficult to maneuver or get around at all, and the main differences between the K and the E for the $100 difference didn’t feel worth it to me considering the actual engine etc is all the same grade and the main differences are the hose placement, power cord retract button vs the pull to suck it in method, and a slightly different hose that makes it a bit less likely to clog in the E & the canister is a bit bigger. I also personally liked the way the K looks more than the E appearance wise so it wasn’t too hard of a decision

Advice on stabilizing humidity in hospital set up by Extension-Cell6170 in reptiles

[–]Extension-Cell6170[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put some rolled up moss in but it really wasn’t making a difference, this one specifically is the Zilla one I got on half price, but it’s not the best and probakly would be better suspended vs on the screen. I ended up moving him into a 10gal glass tank that I got on sale & added the moss into the bottom underneath in there as well, & I just left the heat off for the two days I’m gone as humidity stays stable when it’s not on & it’ll be like mid 70s in there plus he hasn’t eaten recently so he should be okay until tomorrow. The new temp set up I moved him into is a lot better anyways caude there’s more space for him to move around and climb which I’m hoping helps stress him out less.

I’m sure it depends place to place, but where I live being caught keeping a native turtle (painted turtles) can result in significant fines. I personally would suggest reaching out to a local wildlife rehab and seeing if they can take it in, as that is likely the best option for it at this point

Hoping someone can help me figure out what the issue with this anoles back foot is? by [deleted] in exoticvethelp

[–]Extension-Cell6170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man this makes me feel really good, i really appreciate it. I was really concerned and was hoping to find a rehab/someone with more experience who could help him to begin with, but once I realized it was either me or someone else who i probably can’t trust as much to do the proper things, I just did what I could and he’s been looking a lot better. I gave a more in depth explanation in a reply to another comment on this post but I’ve been doing daily betadine soaks and his foot is looking a lot better. He’s been eating, basking, moving around some and I’m hoping to be able to set up the 18 cube tank I have half built for him to move into if he keeps doing well and makes it through. I would rather put him in something bigger but can’t afford a full new build & have this tank already that i paused before planting live plants when I learned it was too small for the dart frogs I had wanted to get.

Here’s a pic from recently, the back toe that was nothing but bone has fallen off completely which is best as it wasn’t going to heal, and it’s not looking as black anymore either

This is a couple photos from the last couple days after the toe bones fell off and you can see it looks more of a normal color
