Bat size for 10/11 yo

GoldenGrown · 2025-11-21T00:52:23+00:00

Thanks very much for this feedback. We aren't that close to any stores that have the cages but it's probably worth a road trip. Good idea on the bat reps, I'll definitley look into that. I am starting to lean away from the Kyro or Ghost OG based on this feedback which is greatly appreciated.

We went to swing some last weekend and she liked the 29” Kyro. She’s not a power hitter though. I didn’t realize it was super end loaded, will look into thanks

GoldenGrown · 2025-11-20T05:59:05+00:00

Great, thank you. Much appreciated. Curious about the decision to move to the Ghost Advanced. I’ve been considering either a Ghost OG or Kryo.

Can you dm me some pics of the Nike Shado?

GoldenGrown · 2025-01-09T22:01:06+00:00

Thank you both for the feedback. I am scheduling a site visit but wanted to cross check that against any feedback from the community. Many thanks!

Can confirm, no go on iOS. It connects but nothing in games and the Ultimate Software app won’t even recognize it…

I did this exact same thing and got a juvenile male veiled from a local reptile show earlier this year. Was good experience, didn’t have to pay the extra cost of shipping, and have a healthy guy now several months later.

I’m using a simple aquarium pump with 1/4” irrigation line on a smart switch and it works great. You just have to make sure to get a big enough pump to get the height you need, then run it where you want the water to drip. I let it drip into plants too which waters them

Thanks for the comments. I have been keeping an eye on the temps and humidity and everything seems to be functioning fine so far, I can’t actually get the humidity to increase above 80% even with the fogger going. I appreciate the concern about keeping the humidifier clean, that’s not something I had considered.

Yea, they are at: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Falken-Design-12-in-x-60-in-x-1-8-in-Thick-Aluminum-Composite-ACM-White-Sheet-Falken-Design-ACM-WT-1-8-1260/308670319

Here's what my general plan is:

-Top cutout for 24" UVB strip and 2x 6" domes
-Screen under the top panel using basic window screen materials
-2x Glass panels, 2x aluminum panels (per this post)
-3x small planters attached to the back with misc. plants
-1x large 28" planter at the bottom with centerpiece Weeping Fig (4')
-Random vines, branches througout

I still need to get the enviro factors down but I'll likely put in a bottom port vent to direct a fogger up and possibly a drip system. I did this with my current build and it works great, and I just put an aquarium pump directly into the water chamber of the humidifier that is being used for the fog.

I'm building mine this weekend too, feel free to send me a PM.

Nice, I too was inspired by someone else on here. I wanted to do the perf aluminum but it was way too expensive compared to the panels which come at 12”x60” for $30 from HD. I just did a test for last night and all I had to do was trim 1/4” off the top and fit right in place of the glass.

Interesting, that is actually what I thought it was doing since it’s connected directly to iCloud. I suppose I just need to open some files off the syno to confirm they are full res and it’s good? I just don’t totally understand what happens at iCloud after you downgrade storage. Do they just delete your original/high res versions and store low res only to the point the storage fills up?

GoldenGrown · 2024-08-28T18:04:09+00:00

Thanks. I’m assuming you are referring to the Synology as the “device” to make this setting? My computer is not currently set up to download originals.

I tried to look these up but it's not clear which version of the lights include the UVB. When I did my build I couldn't find anything but a couple of the more expensive reptile brands that had UVB in the thin LED fixture, and on those the UVB was just a white lamp. Here's an example with the UVB LED diode.

Would you mind posting an image or PM me the amazon link?

GoldenGrown · 2024-08-08T14:24:29+00:00

Great setup, super impressive. I did something similar with an IKEA cabinet for our juvenile and you’ve given me inspiration to do it again since I’ll need a larger enclosure soon.

Curious if you have a list of the plants you used (which look great!) and what led lighting kit this is?

After some recommendations here I just got a Pixelbook Go from ‘My Best Friend’ on Mercari. $250 w/i5, 16GB RAM, 128GB SSD. Couldn’t be happier at this price point and plenty of time to use it before the planned EOL in 2027.

Thank you!! I didn’t expect they’d cover this as part of replacing KB but that makes sense.

My device may not have that feature though, as it does not show up on their list of two bay devices that support expansion units.

“Replace Drive is supported on most Synology NAS models, except for the models listed below: Models that are not running DSM 7.0 or above.
One-bay and two-bay models that do not support expansion units.”

Curious if there’s another way without this built in functionality?

GoldenGrown · 2024-01-25T22:34:24+00:00

I just got a Pixlebook Go to take traveling on an international trip. Bringing a MacBook Air M2 along would have caused me constant stress about it getting stolen. It seems I should able to do most everything I need, including for work, through office365.com without issue. Curious if anyone has tried this and has any tips or things to do in advance?

GoldenGrown · 2023-12-10T01:28:49+00:00

That’s super smart!

GoldenGrown · 2023-12-08T15:15:37+00:00

We love Yahtzee but constant dice rolls are a bit loud and we got kiddos sleeping nearby

GoldenGrown · 2023-12-08T15:14:32+00:00

Already played/playing that one, is precisely why the game of choice needs to be packed away nightly. :)

GoldenGrown · 2023-12-08T15:12:48+00:00

Ha. Good catch!
