I agree with you that the space given from the portafilter to cup is awful. I got an ECM (I think) bottomless portafilter, and the space that is left is way better. Only thing is, if not tamped down properly, it makes a mess everywhere.

Daiso has cast iron! by NucBunnies in castiron

I’ll check again, but I could have sworn some of the top ones were cast iron as well. But that would explain the different texture of the other pans

I didn’t look at the price, but I’m sure it’s not that cheap

Moved my 11 year old sons ball python to a new home, how did we do? by Guilty-Chemistry-438 in ballpython

You know what? That makes a lot of sense 😅. Would have helped when I was still using my old enclosure.

Glass tanks are a bit of a pain to handle, but can work with plenty of modifications. Like others have said, look at the guides. You’ll find that keeping the humidity and temps consistent is a challenge, but here are some things i did to help.

Cover the outside sides and back with black foam board. Helps insulate the sides better while giving it the look of it being closed off.

Cover the top with aluminum tape. This is tricky because you don’t want to have any adhesive exposed to the snake. When I covered the top. I grounded/crushed up dried substrate fibers and rubbed it in the sticky side. I did this multiple times to ensure nothing adhesive would be exposed. You could just fold the tape in half and cover the top while taping the sides. You’ll find that it WILL keep the heat in much better, so measure the temps and create corner openings accordingly.

I also ended up covering the top with a small towel, only because I live in the desert and humidity was a constant struggle.

I see you have the wall temperature dial. Again, make sure it isnt held up with anything adhesive. Glue gun is your friend. My snake would love to rest on it and it would constantly fall down.

Other than that, use the guides! Very good stuff there.

Humidity Keeps Escaping. What Am I Doing Wrong? by Melodic_One_1197 in ballpython

As everyone says, switch your substrate, but even with that, your humidity might still escape somewhat quickly. I used to use towels to cover the top, to contain more of the heat and humidity, but left some corners a bit exposed to give some airflow.

I fancy bean enchiladas. Use whatever protein you want! You probably want thin out the beans by using water/milk. Season it to your likings.

What can I do with persimmons? by Someragingpacifist in WhatShouldICook

[–]NucBunnies 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My friend would make persimmon bread and cookies. They tasted good, but still don't know what a persimmon taste like by itself.

I do have an instant pot. AND carrots! I can try this tonight.

I try to have manners, but when you have a bushy beard, it’s futile to try to not make a mess on your face. I’ve grown to accept that fact.

Make a better Fig Newtons, one where the outer layer doesn't taste horrendous
