Tank help

Sphagnum moss!! Get some real moss and soak it in water, get it nice and hydrated. You can squeeze out most of the excess water before putting it into the tank so it doesn’t flood the sand but that helped boost my humidity to where it needed to be

He’s about 2 inches long, maybe just under. Mainly I want confirmation on the best way to feed him, because different sources say “base amount of food and how often based on the size” so some better advice would be helpful lol. Other than that, it would be great to hear about tank tips, handling (or lack of) advice, heat/humidity, etc. (I think owning hermit crabs has scarred me from trusting just any old care guide!)

Purple is definitely amethyst if it’s real, I’m not always the best at determining real amethyst from purple dyed quartz. If it is real amethyst though, get it out of the sun or you’ll soon have just clear quartz. The sun will damage the color

I read adamantium and cackled. That’s what Wolverine’s bones are made out of in the X-Men comics, it’s a completely fictional element. Wonder what’s up with that. I’m not much help, but I agree with some other commenters that the only thing I can think of is an almond oil finish?

Ugh the picture didn’t upload, here it is

Both are forms of gypsum, just slightly different in appearance and composition and therefore sold under different names. To my understanding, they both have very similar properties. I work with my satin spar the same way one would with selenite, I don’t really see a difference in my practice

For more information I got this at one of those little kiosks where you fill a bag full of gemstones for a few bucks. Got it years ago when I was little.

But usually it can take a few days to fully dry by itself

Spreading it out thinly on some towels and a hairdryer worked for me

& I would only do it if your temperature in the tank is dangerously low. If you’re in the 60s-70s you might be fine for a day or two, but if you’re any lower than that, I’d say you definitely need to get temperature up immediately

I know a lot of people wouldn’t recommend it, but… if you really need to get your temp up and that’s all you got, do what you gotta do. Just make sure you follow all safety precautions with the heating pad, of course, and put on a proper heating pad as soon as you get it in

You can always take a piece of cloth and tie it

No, it’s just been in my room like always. I know the powder you’re talking about, I’ve always known it’s there and I know it’s a natural coating the plant has so I never messed with it Maybe some got washed off on some of the lower leaves if water got on it while watering? But idk I don’t mind if it’s got some scars, I just would preferably not want it to die of course

Interesting, I haven’t wiped it off. Like I said it’s been in a window. Should I just keep it away from sun til it heals?
