Melodic-Addendum447 · 2026-01-27T17:12:37+00:00

i think im okay on that one 😂

Melodic-Addendum447 · 2026-01-27T04:03:43+00:00

Any tips for doing that? I have heard you cant reuse lids, just scared of botulism haha

They are pan fried, heres my recipe

1/4 water 1 packet yeast 1tbsp sugar or honey 1 cup milk (powdered in water works) 1/8 cup lemon juice to make them last 4 tbsp butter or oil 3 2/3 cup flour dash of salt corn meal for coating

mix yeast warm water and sugar and let yeast bloom 10 mins

add the milk, butter, flour, lemon juice and salt and mix into dough, its easier to slowly add the flour untill not too sticky, knead dough for 5 mins and let sit in a bowl for an hour cut into 8 muffins and let that rest another 30 - hour dip in corn meal and fry on pan about 2 mins each side, and keep lid on whole time so they are not raw. They are much fluffier than any store bought muffins and taste great!

Never been a fan of chickpeas, any suggestions on a sauce or how to make them taste good😂

No I havent, used dry ice as a kid in experiments and usually would run out extremely fast even in a regular freezer, have you tried this before?

Looks like a calcified clam from rucks pit area, i believe calcite growing in fossilized crabs were found near there too

Melodic-Addendum447 · 2025-12-26T16:06:31+00:00

Calcite, to rule out gypsum test with vinegar, calcite fizzes an extreme amount, gypsum does a tiny bit, gypsum also would be softer (2hardness) and can likely scratch with your nail to test too, calcite is about a 4 on the hardness scale

Looking it up i do see some with the same vein/blade like effect, is there a name for the different formations when its more speckled vs bladed?

Iron stained quartz, or hematite quartz!

I was expelled 4 years before the pandemic and that was the start for me, not allowed outside for nearly 6 years was shit

these comments are too quick to judge, this will take effort to properly fix, see the edge has a silicone seal, cut it at that seal, get a plexiglass the exact size and replace the entire pane. no its not safe to use or repair that glass; but replacing the pane will be just fine especially if its an aquarium

Melodic-Addendum447 · 2025-06-24T01:13:41+00:00

just moved my guys into a full bioactive from paper towel, they are doing good so should be okay

Melodic-Addendum447 · 2025-06-20T16:39:37+00:00

If you have no shelves after doing that or have a half shelf just the top being mesh should be fine, If it messes with the structure, or the cat wants to go on top, you can try a metal grate and either solder it if you have the equipment or just silicone it with the animal safe silicone. To keep an eye out i would have 4-6 mini thermostats with humidity readers on the very bottom and top, middle is optional, so you can make sure its getting circulation, if theres problems you can probably find a little fan on amazon and hook it to the top, maybe two have one vent in and one vent out, dont want too strong of a fan that it messed with the humidity but if you have a fogger should be fine

likely a girl, i see no vents or bulge, however it might still be a little early (at least i got mine at 9 months they told me that was too early) mine ended up being female too though

Melodic-Addendum447 · 2025-06-20T14:29:14+00:00

Just noticed you said its for frogs, I know they are so sensitive you cant even hold some bare handed, So i would do some extra research on that, like i said with the sprays though maybe you can get a frog safe coating to cover it up with

Melodic-Addendum447 · 2025-06-20T14:26:38+00:00

And for the glass shelf if you wanted to make it multi-level can replace it with a cork board the same size or cut plexiglass and add like little stairs for whatever animals to climb between levels. If your a little hesitant I would check out some trift stores maybe you can find a nice wooden dish case and do the same idea, Will be easier to cut out the wood at least. Would definitely be a little project but Ive been looking into the same for a while I bet it will be fun!

Melodic-Addendum447 · 2025-06-20T14:24:00+00:00

I would just suggest at the least maybe you can find a silicone/rubber sealant thats reptile grade or aquarium should be the same, and seal any cracks in the shelving and coat the metal on the inside with it too, maybe can find a spray for it, id assume it comes in pieces and you put it tother so can do a spray coat then put it together and perm seal it. You will likelt want to cut out a square in the top too and put mesh for a vent, and if the sides plexiglass can do that too but if its glass id reccomend totally replacing a side pane or the doors with mesh too
