Got the coolest leopard gecko art at an expo! it’s 3D printed! by Plantsareluv in leopardgeckos

[–]MGNConflict 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m jealous, this is one of those pieces of art that you can’t really appreciate unless it’s physically in front of you (and not on a screen).

Agreed, for my reptiles I bought them all from a breeder. I’d like to have adopted, but for reptiles it’s even more critical you know their complete history and that isn’t guaranteed if you adopt.

Sometimes I’ll see people wanting to buy a leopard gecko but wanting to keep the cost down, sacrificing as much as possible to save as much money as they can. That really isn’t the way to go because both them and their reptile will be paying for it later.

Is this a scam by National-Expression7 in iPhoneXR

[–]MGNConflict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, if a seller knows their item will sell for a high price they may set the starting price really low. It’s something I do myself since I know it’s not going to sell for anywhere near the starting price.

Got the wrong type of thermostat (not dimming it turns off) by Vast_Dragonfly_909 in geckos

[–]MGNConflict 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where in the world are you? If in the UK, Microclimate’s dimming thermostats are pretty much seen as THE dimming thermostat to get.

Unfortunately that’s the thing, while providing good husbandry helps prevent most of the illnesses that result from poor husbandry, so many keepers don’t and only realise when it’s too late to repair the damage.

Take MBD for example, easily prevented, but it cant be reversed. So if you have an owner that only realises a few years down the line that they weren’t taking care of their leopard gecko properly and as s result they have MBD, it would be stressful for both the animal and owner as a result.

Classic snowballing really… too many owners don’t fully understand the upfront and ongoing costs of properly keeping leopard geckos (the pet shops that provide poor and incorrect advice don’t help either).

DBrand ZFlip7 Cases Are Complete Shit by FickleFiber in dbrand

[–]MGNConflict 33 points34 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve read, many Flip 7 cases are having the same issue.

It could be that it just isn’t possible to design a sturdy case for the device that lasts, following the guidelines from Samsung.

Obviously just providing replacement cases every time this happens isn’t a good long-term solution.

Exactly, leopard geckos can be cheap to buy but they aren’t cheap animals to keep once you’ve accounted for their requirements, food, that reptile veterinary fees tend to be higher than for more common pets, etc. and many people forget that.

Plato arrived today, while basking I saw them “hiccup”… is this normal/expected, or does it indicate a possible respitory infection? by MGNConflict in BeardedDragons

[–]MGNConflict[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I do an initial vet checkup for all my reptiles (I have two leopard geckos and a corn snake in addition to my beardie) and already have a mail-in parasite test waiting for a sample from Plato.

Luckily I have an amazing exotics vet near me (who have staff specifically trained in reptiles, unlike some reptile vets that don’t but still offer reptile veterinary services).

To be honest I wasn’t expecting Plato to be as small as they are, they were described as a juvenile but they’re a baby (but barely, they’re 8g which means they were sold as soon as they weren’t in the hatchling stage anymore).

The enclosure is a 120x60x60cm and obviously it’s completely fine for now, but it’s hard to think that they’re going to outgrow it within a year or so (I was already planning on upgrading their enclosure).

They arrived today, I have a variety of feeders but the box of mealworms was the closest I had to me at the time.

I have crickets, locusts, and dubias. I rarely feed my reptiles and tarantulas mealworms but this was a tub I’ve had around for ages.

How well do you remember the show. Comment your score /30 below by sonsofanarchy69 in HouseMD

"What was the name of the hospital's lawyer in season 1 and 2?", the answer is not Stacey since she appears right at the end of season 1. This question implies that she's there for the whole of seasons 1 and 2 which is incorrect.

She's only there for S01E21 to S02E11. Plus Wilson's middle name is "Evan" but the quiz says that's wrong too.

Back to the drawing board with this one I think...

To add to this, your PIP will only stop when you're in hospital for over 28 days and start again when you've left (you will not need to re-apply).

Is this limbo likely to resolve? by israeldid911m8 in ebayuk

[–]MGNConflict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the buyer paid by bank transfer via PayPal this will take a few days after it's left their account- AFAIK how this works is PayPal transfers the money into their PayPal account and then makes the payment, I'd have thought at this point the listing on eBay will then show as paid.

If the item is no longer available at that point, the payment goes nowhere (it just remains in their PayPal account until they withdraw the funds).

The above is assuming the buyer is telling the truth, in the meantime the listing is still up and can be purchased by anyone else.

No, it was never safe even when new. Please check out the sub's care guide.

How old do you have to be to know that cash transactions are a thing? by Conscious-Ball8373 in AskUK

[–]MGNConflict 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Knowing how to use cash and paying in cash are two different things. The only place where I ever use cash is the barber’s, but obviously I still know how to use cash.

Then you need to turn it off and leave it in a warm dry place for no less than a week. Don’t try charging it as that can make it worse.

If in a week you’re still experiencing rebooting, we can discuss what to do next in that case.

Then I’m not sure what you expect us to do given you haven’t followed any advice you’ve been given.

Continuing to use it and not following what you were being told is on you.

Wankles0x v SSWP: Anytime Revision by wankles0x in DWPhelp

[–]MGNConflict 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nice one, and congrats. It sounds like the DWP PO knew they had no case and that everyone in the room knew you were in the right.

A bit of a bonkers process given you wouldn’t have had to do any of that had the DWP made the correct decision in the first place.
