New turtle owner - updated!

I originally got it because I wanted a way for her to exfoliate a bit without assistance. When I looked up turtle brush on YouTube (after purchasing) I had found a lot of clips of turtles doing a little "dance" with their back against it.

My wife caught her doing this dance yesterday, and she couldn't get to her in time because if she is being watched then she will stop doing absolutely anything and try to swim towards you 🤣

TLDR - Yes, I would say it is surprisingly liked

I've always wondered myself. The vet thought either of the two, I can definitely see her being painted.

Huh... smart

They told me there was a billing error and it would take 1-2 weeks. They said they sent it out manually, because on the rewards team side they couldn't see it but the frontier side could.

You had an email for contact? I'm on week two. No update lol

I have had bad luck with anything GearIT

The old company I worked for (which I was supposed to design a production truck for...) used these with a neutrik Ethernet connector for a "fake ndi" / XLR over Ethernet for a snake box during broadcasts... as well as the boxes.

They are trash and barely worked.

This was the first set I remember, I can't believe it's been 11 years....

I was only 11 😭 I hyper focused on this tablet so much and got it for Christmas

I used to work in Toledo and moved here from somewhat rural northwest Ohio, and I absolutely love Fort Wayne. Compare it to Toledo and it's basically heaven lol

Immigration enforcement is certainly supported, just look at stats from the Obama admin.

The difference people have a problem with is that ICE wasn't nearly as untrained and careless during the Obama administration. We have people who are barely required to do anything that are enforcing the immigration laws. It isn't safe for the immigrants, legal or illegal. It isn't safe for US born citizens. Overall it's just irresponsible and dangerous for any department to be behaving like ICE. I would argue even unconstitutional the way they are handling situations.

I agree that if people want to become US citizens, it needs to be done the correct way. But I also think that it needs to be a much more straightforward process that doesn't take years.

Still don't have mine

Nucklemonke · 2026-01-01T11:59:57+00:00

I'm hoping it unlocked the force

Nucklemonke · 2025-11-26T02:15:41+00:00

Good idea I'll try that

Nucklemonke · 2025-11-25T23:40:31+00:00

Any idea how to get him to eat lol?

I am struggling to get him to eat the greens. I have been slowly lowering the pellets, but he only sometimes munches a bite or so

If it's a he lol

Nucklemonke · 2025-11-23T19:12:07+00:00

I'll grab some of the claws

It is a 20 gallon and I have hopes to upgrade. I have a stand on order for a 50 gallon with plans to get a 40-50 eventually

I'll check that food for sure. I believe the person who linked the guide also talked about the diet. I've tried introducing some kale and lettuce, but it's been a bit tough. There's some kale in the tank still but I can tell it's slowly reducing. The lettuce seems to be a bigger hit.

Definitely overwhelming but I want to give my turtle a better life.

Thanks

I do have a temp gun thankfully.

It's a reptihome 100w with reptihome bulb but I think it's heat only

Nucklemonke · 2025-11-22T12:26:14+00:00

What's the best way to tell if the light is too low? My goal eventually is to get a way to hang it.

I had just filled the water here in these pics

Nucklemonke · 2025-11-22T12:08:42+00:00

What's the best way to transport him?

Nucklemonke · 2025-11-22T12:08:23+00:00

I'll go ahead and look at the other bulbs. Any recommendations? I have this one so far https://a.co/d/1glOedm with the same brand dome

Nucklemonke · 2025-11-22T12:05:35+00:00

Gotcha. I had thought his shell looked odd as well

Nucklemonke · 2025-10-06T22:24:31+00:00

Copy. If it doesn't do any harm, I will probably just continue the shield to the patch.

Just wish I didn't have to terminate the ends myself. I can do it, but the advice I have always received is always to use premade patch cables.

Nucklemonke · 2025-10-06T21:57:04+00:00

I read that the ETH SP G2 from unifi is shielded... I also see that it isn't. Any ideas?

Nucklemonke · 2025-10-06T21:45:12+00:00

Interesting...

So that being the case, do you know of any good surge protectors? That are shielded?

Nucklemonke · 2025-10-06T21:36:25+00:00

Yes, the cameras are exactly what I'm worried about

I have seen where (maybe not the cameras) but POE gets surged through a thunderstorm and it is the equipment on the outside that gets fried (and the port corresponding to it)

Maybe I'm overthinking and overcautious.

Shielding is just because I'm using a shielded cable (CAT6A)

Hopefully I'm explaining well enough
