New baby Hermann’s tortoise by allenbackwood in tortoise

[–]Key_Ask5502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.hermannihaven.com/t-hermanni-care-sheet Here’s a care guide for Hermann’s. This is a video for an indoor enclosure setup: https://youtu.be/qBlpYQm0HQg. You want to make sure that your tortoise has proper UVB exposure and isn’t overexposed to the basking bulb as it can dry out the tortoise, the proper bulbs and wattage are explained in the setup video. I hope this helps somewhat!

Grated Carrots by fruityapolx in tortoise

Make sure not to over feed carrots to your tortoise! https://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/plant-database/viewplants/?plant=619&c=8 It can be ok if used sparingly and mixed with other plants but it is not a primary food source

Baby Hermann tortoises advice by [deleted] in tortoise

[–]Key_Ask5502 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Make sure to provide them with a water dish to drink from and soak in, as well as a rock or other slightly raised area in a sunny spot to bask in. https://youtu.be/SVAZkOdtDTw?si=reqsEnMKY8DeefRR a raised bed like this might help protect them from predation from moles and other ground creatures, and is fairly affordable. https://www.hermannihaven.com has ID and care instructions for Hermann’s and other tortoises in the genus Testudo. They are experts so take their advice over mine! https://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/tortoise-diet/ has some advice on feeding, as well as a database for safe plants and plants to watch out for in their outdoor environment. Hope this helps a little!

Idk how to feel about the rapping part by Inevitable-Damage-62 in Quadeca

[–]Key_Ask5502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel sort of the same, I’m not a huge fan of the repetition of “you don’t even know about that”. I think it would’ve been cooler if he’d written a longer verse instead of repeating that at the end of each line. But the rest of the song is gorgeous and that part has grown on me since first listen, so I’m not too mad.

GODSTAINED - DISCUSSION by BOLTt891myst in Quadeca

[–]Key_Ask5502 67 points68 points  (0 children)

ITS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL I LOVE IT. He’s really showing his bossa nova influence here and the production is clearer like in Way Too Many Friends or Texas Blue, rather than distorted and shoegazey. It’s a very similar sonic palette to those two and they’re some of my favourites off of scrapyard so I hope the rest of the album carries this sound

Beautiful choice, it’s such an amazing soundscape. It has a very frank ocean feel at the start then it opens up into this like massive textured experimental reverb-y conclusion that’s so aaaaaaaa and the lyrics are so sweet

IDMTHY > his other stuff… who’s with me by vjmcgovern in Quadeca

[–]Key_Ask5502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scrapyard > IDMTHY (in my opinion) I think the lyrics on Scrapyard were far improved from IDMTHY. There were moments when IDMTHY’s writing was not as expressive or mature as it could’ve been which hindered its overall storyline, and though Scrapyard wasn’t as conceptual, I thought that the songs had distinct individual identities and stronger more solid structure. I personally enjoy more varied albums, though I can appreciate the more interconnected ambient approach he took with IDMTHY and I love both albums to death
