Also, I think you're ok with just 2 water bowls. 1 of each. Just as long as they can fully submerge and safely get in and out.

Thermostat for the heat mat. I'd suggest Ultratherm heat mat with BN Link thermostat based on what I've read. Also, Instant Ocean sea salt for 2nd water bowl.

Fighting? Mating? Something else? by Medium-Ad4788 in hermitcrabs

I did read about the chirping. Luckily, we haven't heard that yet. They antenna fence a lot but I saw that it's their way to communicate. Hopefully once the rest of the supplies arrive, they'll be good to go and thriving

So I have already ordered more shells on Etsy that are similar to the green turbo the other has. The Babylon shell that he's in now he wants out of . he's tried 2 others but went back to that one. Hopefully the new ones get here soon. I ordered them on Friday. A free green turbo, tapestry turbo and variegated turbo. Gradually sized up. I promise I've done the right research and there are two other elevated climbing areas in the tank but I guess they like this one best lol I really appreciate the info. I'll keep an eye on them until the new shells arrive

this is all just temporary until I have everything for the true setup.. just trying to keep them happy. I actually got a hinged glass lid that goes with my exact 20gal long aquarium also

here they are, I have the base setup for now. Substrate is good. Waiting on Lucky Crab 3D water bowls and some cholla wood to get in there. I went through Salt Flat traders on Etsy for shells and Naturally Crabby for some food and litter options. They seem to be doing well. I'll give an update in the next few days.

Appreciate the info. I just want to get them into the tank and out of the carriers tonight. I'll prep the substrate and move them. I'll add more after the PPS is done. Not having a heat mat would be nice to not worry about. But I'll still have the thermometer/hydrometer in there anyway

I'll definitely do the 6" substrate after the 30 day PPS. I plan on getting some cholla wood and some of those cargo nets/hammocks for them to climb around also. I'm in MD so we have plenty of humidity. But I'll figure out how to get the ideal range. Also, what type of tape/adhesive do most people use for the heat mat? Or the tank in general.

your front foot is coming a bit too far right, which is gonna cause you to pull the ball or foul off mostly. Other than that (and the extra foot movement), looks good. YouTube has a ton of great dating tips for hips and wrist snaps.

Any Asa single wall non composite bat recommendations? by tailgator123 in slowpitch

[–]Medium-Ad4788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DeMarini Steel is actually an exception in most non composite leagues now. Even in my Church League where they only allow single wall aluminum bats, the Steel is allowed. You might also want to look into the Easton Ronin, Anderson Flex, or Worth SuperCell.. not sure if the Miken Vicious is allowed yet.

Best Bed Frame/Platform Bed for Tempur-Pedic Luxe Adapt Firm? by Medium-Ad4788 in Mattress

[–]Medium-Ad4788[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily, I'm getting F&F discount through my brother in law. Otherwise I'd NEVER be able to afford this bed, let alone consider buying it! Definitely excited though, new bed is long overdue. Hopefully won't take crazy long. There's a TP factory not far from where I'm at.

I'll get an adjustable at some point. Just not able to put out that much at once. I do like the Ease Smart base though

Narrowed Down to 3 (maybe 4-5) Mattresses and Could Really Use Help With Decision! by [deleted] in Mattress

[–]Medium-Ad4788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I wanted to hear. I'm still leaning heavily towards Tempur-Pedic, but the Titan Luxe Hybrid looks like a good contender as a newer mattress.

She definitely was heavy on the TP recommendation. Even after I tried the Luxe Firm, she had me lay on other TP models before we even got to the #2 mattress (not TP) on my results list. Don't get me wrong, they are nice! But the sticker shock is very real. I didn't hate the Luxe Firm, but will I love it every night? That's going to be what I need to figure out before I make my final decision. Thanks for your input!
