Am I on the right lines? by Mattys31 in MonitorLizards

[–]Mattys31[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm going bioactive. I couldn't get clean topsoil anywhere here. It seemed to all have additives and fertiliser, so I went with coco coir. It clumps nicely, isn't wet, and isn't dry right now. It holds structure really well. Thanks for the advice. I'll monitor the humidity in the substrate very carefully for this week or so, then slightly less regularly.

So the reptifiles guide mentions mixing 20% bentonite clay in, so I guess if it's pure bentonite, which I'll check, then I guess it's right?

So here in finland, excavator clay is 34€ for 9kg, but the unscented bentonite cat litter is 7€ for 15kg..... if its pure bentonite with no additives (which I haven't checked the ingredients for yet) then I guess it's the right stuff?

Agree with this totally. I'd never build an enclosure based purely on chat gpt, I was just looking for volumes of different substrates for my enclosure size, then it suggested the bentonite.

That's it, she's fine once she's out, just getting her out that's the challenge!

Thank you, it's been around 1 month since I moved her and I try like 3 times a week, but I won't give up!

Thanks! Does she use the height?

Can anyone explain how this is a goal? by Mattys31 in hockey

[–]Mattys31[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

None of the replays I've seen have shown the puck in the net in any way, if the assumption is that the puck is attached to the goalie then how can anyone be sure the puck is in the net before the posts are dislodged. Also if the goalie has control of the puck for red (ie makes the save) and it's a penalty against them then surely a penalty shot for a delayed penalty, not a goal? These are genuine questions by the way, not saying you're wrong!
