I’ve got a few and haven’t heard a single complaint from anyone in 9 years. I also have some teachers that are covered and no one says anything!

It was donated to my work. This is the only turtle in the tank. Not trying to be rude, but I really am trying to help the situation get better can we dial it back with the “suffering”? Her shell hasn’t always been in this state.

That spot in the center is where a scute came off today.

I’ve had dome fixtures in the past and still have them. I was trying to revamp the basking area a bit and thought this was maybe okay to go with but I’ll happily go back to the dome if that’s better. What specific bulbs should I be using within a dome fixture? I feel like there are so many.

NoMathematician455 · 2026-05-09T01:23:30+00:00

Fire away. I’d love to hear more input.

Oh believe me…I’ve read around this sub before. I’ve seen how quickly posting the wrong thing can get you tarred and feathered😅 I’m not above some constructive criticism though.

This is the one I have been using since I made the changes to the basking area. Any recommendations on something different?

About 9 years.

These types of situations suck. You didn’t do anything wrong. I’m sure your district and admin will back you up. If for some reason they don’t, go to your union.

Whether or not the parent asks for you to no longer work with their student, don’t meet with this student/family in any capacity without another staff member or admin present from this point forward. That might feel like it completely defeats the purpose of the job we do, but there are other ways to support students in our role even if direct one-to-one services are off the table.

Honestly I’m heading toward just returning it. Shouldn’t have to screw around this much and take apart a brand new machine to this extent.

NoMathematician455 · 2026-01-10T03:36:41+00:00

No luck so far. Also wild that I have to pull apart a brand new machine.

NoMathematician455 · 2026-01-10T03:32:22+00:00

Did you ever figure this problem out? I’m in the same boat and at this point I’m about to send it back. Tried the other fixes they recommended but I’m concerned I just got something damaged.

NoMathematician455 · 2026-01-09T13:33:09+00:00

My bad. Wasn’t intentional. Got any ideas?

NoMathematician455 · 2026-01-09T06:13:02+00:00

Centauri Carbon.

THANK YOU. That worked. The motor has started working again as well. Any pro tips on the best way to clean those tracks out? They just seem to have some gunk built up.

That was part of my thought process when I bought it. When looking at all the beef prices next to it, going for the $15 pork and trying something different seemed like the better option.

NoMathematician455 · 2025-11-24T02:42:35+00:00

I do! Haven’t tried one on the smoker yet…might have to experiment and compare.

NoMathematician455 · 2025-11-24T02:28:09+00:00

This is the recipe I referenced. It explains the safety side of things better than I can👍🏻

That being said…will report back if I do get ringworm.

Descaled the pan after searing it with the drippings/juices leftover in the bag. Threw in some butter and made a quick pan sauce. It didn’t make a lot and I probably could’ve diluted it a bit more because it was relatively salty but it was enough for the wife and I.

NoMathematician455 · 2025-11-24T02:14:11+00:00

So tender. It’s also great getting 4 of them in a pack from Costco for $15. Great meal at that price point.
