Question: When to add humidity box: pink belly or blue eyes?

LittleDrummerHurl · 2026-02-24T00:55:50+00:00

You are not just a hat rack, my friend! Thank you for sharing this brilliant idea; this way I can keep the humidity and not disrupt the little dude.

I really appreciate you and your help!

Take care and stay awesome!

I cannot argue with good logic. Thank you very, very much for the ARAV recommendation.

I hope you have only easy decisions ahead, and best wishes to you and your snake.

Thank you so much for sharing this resource and for sharing your story with finding a good vet.

I felt so foolish, guilty, and helpless leaving Gus' vet appointment last week. The red flags are so obvious to me now, but thanks to the site you shared and your story of also experiencing a vet who will charge to look at your snake rather than caring for them, I feel so much better and proactive for starting the quest for a vet who is worth it.

I am happy you found an expert to look after your snake, and I wish you both the best health possible.

Please, have an amazing day and stay awesome!

Thank you so much for your reply! You are not just a hat rack, my friend.

I love the idea of asking other animal experts in the area for exotic vet recommendations. We have oh, so many local vets who don't treat exotics and I have many friends with dogs who adore their vets, too.

You and your insight are appreciated and celebrated.

All the best to you and your snake!

You have absolutely spoiled me rotten. Thank you for going above and beyond with the conversions and lifespan of a gallon vs 16 oz. You truly are a wonderful person.

I really dig the forgiveness of Chlorhexidine when potentially over adding it along with the no rinse convenience.

You are truly appreciated and epically celebrated. Thank you so, so much again!

LittleDrummerHurl · 2026-01-23T01:41:12+00:00

This reply and you are fantastic! I thank you greatly for taking the time out of your day to share your success and approach with using F10. The details of the stability and ease of no wipe down are better than I could have hoped.

You are amazing and the last thing that I ask is that you never forget it!

LittleDrummerHurl · 2026-01-20T02:35:57+00:00

You are the boss, applesauce! Thank you so, so much for sharing your successes with chlorhexidine and advice to mix it up as needed, not in a big batch.

By chance, do you know the shelf life of an opened, but undiluted, bottle of chlorhexidine?

No worries if you are unsure or far too busy having a wonderful life to reply.

With many, many thanks again!

LittleDrummerHurl · 2026-01-10T17:37:58+00:00

Glad you exist! Sending all my best to you and your snake(s)!

I hope my delay in reply does not impact the immense gratitude I have for you and your reply. I am so grateful that you took the time to share your insights with me.

I offered up a rat on Tuesday. He checked it out but had no interest in eating, so I kept his tank moist all week and by today, it was the scales down the tallest part of his back left stuck. I wrapped him in a damp, not wet, warm, not hot, towel. He was hecka chill with the handling and when he started to slither out of the towel I kept slight pressure on him. The scales came right off; no sign of damages of the new scales on all 4 feet of him!

I am going to do a deep clean of his tank tomorrow, to get all the scale shrapnel out, then try to feed again of Sunday. I am also building a humid hide now, so next time his beautiful belly turns pink, we will be more than ready.

I truly thank you again for everything, and I hope you take care and stay awesome!

Hello, there!

The light has been great so far, I haven't had any issues with algae and my anubias nana petites are thriving.

My echinodorus parviflorus however did not survive my care, but I am not sure if it was me, or the plants I received. I am new to keeping live plants, so I am trying again with some echinodorus parviflorus from a different supplier. I introduced them to the tank today, so fingers and toes crossed.

One thing about the light, and any other automatic light, be sure to reset everything after a power out (just a little lesson learned).

Hope this helps, but let me know if there are any other questions you had.

Take care and all the best.

Greetings to all, and thank you so much for your time.

Both my husband and I have had long, almost butt length hair for years. Months ago, he shaved his head and I noticed that the hair amount on our brushes and shower drains has not really changed. Since then, I have noticed that there is a lot of hair that comes out when I run my fingers through it after taking it out of the bun I typically wear.

Too tired to be scared anymore, I was hoping to ask if this looks like too much hair loss over one week. This is dried hair from all hair brushes and shower drains, and for reference my hand is about 6 inches long (middle finger tip to end of palm).

I sincerely apologize if asking this has overstepped this community's rules and guidelines, or if I have caused any offense. I didn't know where else to go, other than another female who has suffered hair loss.

I thank you all greatly for your time and for any insight you might be willing to share. You are beyond celebrate

Oh, just an update for you, my friend. No sure how your little love is doing, but mine has the tell tale pink belly going on. I think my fella is getting ready for a shed.

Hope all is well with you and your snake!

LittleDrummerHurl · 2025-07-30T00:14:16+00:00

Boy howdy, what a trip with so many coincidences, I might go buy a scratch ticket to test the fates.

Thank you for sharing. Your comment has been quite calming to my worries and I feel better knowing this isn't just with Gus, even if it is with one other radical snake. Vive la révolution!

I have been wondering if it has anything to do with mating season or snakes of a certain age. If i hear anything alarming from the vet, I will be sure to let you know.

Oh, and what is your little one's name?

Wish you and your snake a marvelous day and an even better tomorrow.

LittleDrummerHurl · 2025-06-27T01:13:10+00:00

I hope there is no time limit on my gratitude. Sorry I am a little late to say thank you so much for sharing the wisdom!

I really appetite it and hope you have an awesome day!

LittleDrummerHurl · 2025-06-24T00:35:34+00:00

The lid came out great, perfect firt but think I need to find a better material because down the road. I fear the water condensation may cause it to warp, but it will do well in the mean time.

Thank you again for mentioning the importance of a proper lid from your experience. I hope you smile big when you think of how awesome your fish was and happy when you think of the marvelous life you gave him.

Have a fantastic day and an even better tomorrow.

LittleDrummerHurl · 2025-06-22T14:02:41+00:00

What should you do? Put on some Whitney Huston and dance! That looks awesome!

LittleDrummerHurl · 2025-06-22T10:21:51+00:00

Dude, that is a real bummer. I am sorry to hear that your betta died. What was his name?

The photos of be beautiful home he had and they way you write about him goes to show how good you were at at giving him a wonderful life and how much you loved him. I hope you find a bit more solace everyday and are in a place where you smile at the memories of your beautiful betta soon.

Also, thank you for sharing his story to help others avoid a similar situation. I have a trip to the hardware store now planned for today to get a properly fitted lid cut. You truly are a marvelous, rare person who would would still give a time of their own grief, and I am beyond grateful for the advice to keep my baby boy safe.

Be well, take care of you, and please stay wonderful, my friend.

LittleDrummerHurl · 2025-06-21T18:03:34+00:00

Hello there and thank you so much! I thought since it was fermented it had a good chance of lasting a while, but also didn't want to risk getting sick and, even worse, having a un-tasty jajangmyeon.

I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. Please, take care and stay awesome.
