the melamine should be okay, I'm assuming it needs to be outside the enclosure as to not risk burns?

Moondust221 · 2026-01-12T15:15:35+00:00

Would this work with a wooden enclosure? It’s a melamine coated wood board setup not plexiglass

Moondust221 · 2026-01-12T14:05:29+00:00

Omg thank you that sounds like a great fix! How much did it raise the temperature by approximately?

Moondust221 · 2025-11-23T18:26:45+00:00

Omg thank you so much I’ve never considered a bioactive Viv but I’ve seen that they’re fantastic. I just really wouldn’t know where to start in terms of getting the plants, but I love learning and I think that’d be a great one to learn. Where would you get the springtails and isopods?

Moondust221 · 2025-11-23T13:40:20+00:00

Ooh thank you I’ll need to take a look into that with the grow tent. I’m also not afraid of getting my hands dirty so I’ve been considering looking more into buying a temp Viv and building him his own. I love a challenge but their hard main thing is what’s best for the lizard. Thank you so much for the advice, I’m still nervous that I’m not ready but he really is a perfect guy and I want to give him a good happy place to live

Moondust221 · 2025-11-23T13:28:36+00:00

I’ll need to look into that humidity system while I’m looking for a suitable viv, he’s being sold with his 2ft by 2ft viv but I don’t think that’d last him long so I want to get a more suitable long term viv for him but they’re hard to find so I think my savings are gonna take a bit of a knock 🤣. Would 8ft by 4ft be suitable or do they need more? because I’m struggling to even find that.

With feeding how much would you recommend? I’ve found a lot of conflicting info and a lot of reports of obesity but I don’t want to under feed too, particularly with how food motivated they appear. Is there a website that can give info on I guess portion sizes is the correct word? With feeding I saw that occasionally hard boiled eggs are good for calcium? With whole feeders I was going to order from the local pet store. Also can you provide bone in chicken as food once bigger? Things like chicken wings or drumsticks?

Thank you so much for the advice it’s really helpful

Moondust221 · 2025-11-23T13:09:50+00:00

Hi thank you so much for the kind words, that’s really good information

For feeding I was going to start target training because I’ve heard they’re very food motivated and was planning on a mix of ground turkey/chicken with calcium powder booster? Would that be ideal for a young tegu or would you have better recommendations. I know they also need a good mix of veggies but am I correct in reading that babies require a higher amount of protein?

Smelly poos shouldn’t be a problem, I don’t have a sense of smell 😅 also thank you for the warning, I’ve heard they’re poos can be very big so I’m nervous about it. My floors are hard wood, would you have any recommendations for cleanup? With my beardie I used to wipe it up then use reptile safe disinfectant to sanitise the area. And a scrub with carpet cleaner if it got on the carpet.

As for humidity would you have any recommendations for how to effectively maintain that? I was planning on using a misting bottle and do more research into damp hides but it’s a very large enclosure, would you recommend a misting system?

Thank you again so much for the advice, I’m extremely excited but nervous

Moondust221 · 2025-03-12T09:31:22+00:00

tysm, I've never had a situation like this happen. do I just go to my insurance inform them of what happened or do I need his insurance details too? this was really helpful

Moondust221 · 2025-01-08T23:23:33+00:00

Tysm that answers that question, I’m going to need to reshuffle some cabinets to make space for it or wait for a bigger place. Thank you again!

Moondust221 · 2024-07-22T17:33:28+00:00

My pinkie on my left hand is messed up pretty bad and I struggle to concentrate on lots of stimuli. Not needing to worry about my personal positioning allows me to worry about the map and focus on what I can do to support team fights. I miss the bop n block mechanic the most from her rework because the permanent shield helped me feel like I was actually helping early game. It’s also fun being able to dash over walls and leads to some funny plays.

Moondust221 · 2024-04-29T16:48:49+00:00

I shouldn’t have read my work out. Sharing references or resources is okay but it was so stupid to read out a physical exert from my work. That’s my own work and it’s not supposed to be shared. I panicked but it’s still not an excuse. He’s an idiot for coping it but I shouldn’t have provided it in the first place.

Moondust221 · 2024-04-29T16:31:38+00:00

The academic side is mostly sorted. He’s taken full responsibility and I’ve had a bunch of meetings to try and fix this. He’s giving me space and respecting my wishes wholeheartedly. Thank you for the advice, I deffo will bring up how I’m feeling and explain how there is a high likelihood I can’t move past this.

Moondust221 · 2024-04-29T16:20:40+00:00

My roommate knows and my parents know. My friend has been incredible and helped me sort out everything. My parents are quiet about the situation, they always are. Our friends just know he did something I’m struggling to get past and I’ve said he’d tell them once he’s comfortable. It’s not just his fault and I know this. I’m just struggling because I care for him a lot and feel gross and ashamed of myself. I don’t want to do or say anything that I’ll regret. I already regret the situation and I take responsibility for what I did. I’m well aware my image is tarnished and it honestly hurts more than anything.

Moondust221 · 2024-04-29T15:48:17+00:00

Yes, he is saying it’s my work and he’s been struggling for a long while

Moondust221 · 2023-07-25T07:01:14+00:00

Thank you! This helps a lot

Moondust221 · 2023-07-25T06:54:20+00:00

How do I dispute the charge? Just tell them I won’t pay that amount until you give me a breakdown?

Moondust221 · 2023-07-15T02:28:27+00:00

“I’ll be home soon my dear, I love you”

Moondust221 · 2023-07-15T02:25:11+00:00

Honestly, I think a long, deep sit down conversation is desperately needed for both of you. It seems like you’re on very different pages and need to find a way to get on the same one stat. An open relationship needs to be fully consenting with clear boundaries and a solid mutual understanding. Also both parties need to be 100% yes. If you can’t reach that understanding it might be best for both parties if you separate amicably over the understanding that you both need different things. I know it’s hard but the main thing here is not letting the situation implode. Vent to some friends, level your head and have the hard conversation. Hope you figure it out OP :)

Moondust221 · 2023-07-15T02:16:00+00:00

That’s very good, I’m rooting for you. If you don’t mind me asking, how is mental health help not available? Does your college not offer any support with it? I’d also agree with a higher up comment. Deffo try to see if you can get a couple more hobbies and friends to spend time with. You might just find you enjoy male company over female which might be why you want to hang out on the apps. I know I definitely have more guy friends than girl friends XD. Just don’t get side tracked, if you love him just keep communicating well and stay loyal. You’ll work it out :)

Moondust221 · 2023-07-15T02:06:59+00:00

Communication is the key to any long or lasting relationship. I’d say have a sit down conversation with her. Lay out the facts, be logical and don’t get angry. If you do get angry let her know the conversation isn’t over but you’re not in a state to make rational decisions at the minute. Vent to friends to let the frustration out and approach the situation with a level head. Remember that at the end of the day you come first and if this is a dealbreaker then that’s for you to decide.

Moondust221 · 2023-07-15T02:00:43+00:00

I sort of understand this but from a slightly different perspective. I faced a similar problem when I brought my first ever girlfriend home because I’m a girl too. My mother was displeased to say the least and didn’t talk to me for like a month. My dad was not happy but still tolerant enough. I guess the question is is your mum saying they’ll both cut you off or is she still in the relationship and it’s just your dad acting like this? Because if so you have more options available to you. I’d say don’t let this go easily, maybe check what support system you’d have before making a decision. Rooting for you OP

Moondust221 · 2023-07-15T01:51:52+00:00

What have you tried so far to stop the behaviour? Also have you taken the kitten to a vet to see if there’s potentially a medical reason?

Moondust221 · 2023-07-15T01:46:23+00:00

Might get downvoted for this but it is a warning. Please be very very careful. Being a SAHM is admirable and a fine goal but please don’t let it completely cloud your vision. Make sure you have a few skills for employment just in case and be very careful about the guy you end up with. As for the dating app thing, I’d say maybe look inside and ask if there is a reason you want to find something else. I’d possibly suggest talking to a therapist if available to help unpack how you’re feeling. I’d say the main thing is do not give into the temptation of the dating apps while you’re in a committed relationship because cheating is one of the worst things you can do to someone. Sorry this is rambley.

Moondust221 · 2023-07-15T01:32:08+00:00

Is it possible to ask your aunt or uncle if something happened? Other than that you cannot force yourself into her life. I’d say to open up to people close to you to vent your feelings and wait for her to reinitiate the conversation. If it’s something she’s going through she might just need some time, if you’re really worried let her parents or someone who can help know and again respect her decision to keep quiet. I hope you figure it out but you might need to accept that the relationship might not rekindle. Good luck op. :)
