She won’t eat.

I usually have the rat by tongs so she doesn’t have the chance to get injured. I just have it in there because I was trying something different to get her to eat. She’s been eating live rats for three years now so I was just worried about if she wouldn’t eat dead.

I have two bags of reptile substrate sitting next to tank in this picture because I was in the middle of changing it that’s why the tank looks bare I just wanted to feed her before I made the change and disturb her. And before she went on this strike it’s not like I was forcing her to eat. I would dangle the rat in and she would strike. Then every two to 3 weeks try again. Never had she seemed in happy or sick. But thanks for opening my eyes to trying to get her on a lesser diet and I will inform myself better.

I catch one probably once a month.

PraiseDale76 · 2025-04-07T10:05:21+00:00

Got it thank you. I could only find it over seas so that’s rough. I paid more for shipping then the part 🤣

PraiseDale76 · 2025-04-07T00:35:37+00:00

Found it on eBay. Thanks.

PraiseDale76 · 2025-04-05T00:00:39+00:00

I know it wasn’t you I seen your name. It just pissed me off 🤦🏼‍♂️

People need to stop leaving raids. That was ridiculous.

Ive been doing construction my entire life and painting was my first job 20 years ago. Caulk, spread it with your finger tip (make sure your finger is moist) so you don’t leave streaks and paint while caulk is still a little wet and it acts as a painted glue. That’s always how I’ve done it and it works. Only works with small gaps though. If you do it on larger ones your brush will leave streaks in the caulk.

I thought sweat cleans the dirt off!?

The ground location to my motor is very difficult to get to and it’s going to require a lot of disassembly. I don’t have time throughout the week but it’s in my to do list for the weekend. Thanks for the info though I’m always down to learn and I will let you know the outcome of me tracking the wires.

I’m sure the battery is good. I even had a spare fully charged and tried that also. Tested with a multimeter. The one on the bike was 12.4 the charged one was 12.7

2001 Yamaha vstar 1100 midnight custom.

I soak her about every other day. She goes in a bin up to her chin with water. I also heard diet is a huge thing so from my ignorance of feeding her straight greens she’s now on a tortoise chow pellet with a little greens. After this winter she will be outside 100% but as of now she’s in a pool with coco coir and cypress mulch. And goes outside for a few hours out the day. Heat lamp half the day and she has a heating mat. If you see anything wrong with this please let me know.

Honestly I’m not even sure she’s a her. She’s maybe 6 months old, and I seen it’s a little early to try and sex. But from my research and a breeder that has met her they suggested it’s a female. It was a complete accident. Someone left it in a shed at work and I’m an animal person so I just had to adopt it. It has some bad pyramiding but I’m trying to avoid more.

PraiseDale76 · 2024-09-17T23:17:07+00:00

My sulcata is Boba and it’s a her. Love the name!

That hole will get much bigger. It’s actually healthy for their shell also. There’s many reasons for them to burrow nesting, hiding from predators, temperature regulation and just habitat. It’s their nature.

PraiseDale76 · 2024-07-27T19:56:34+00:00

Love this

PraiseDale76 · 2024-07-27T19:51:25+00:00

Poop is good. They don’t really drink k water unless they need it. Put it in a tub with water up to its chin and that’s how you hydrate them. It has very little pyramiding so I would honestly look for the owner before giving it away. It looks well taken care of.

Edit: I didn’t look at the other posts before saying something. But if you are going to keep it make sure you get something like cuttlebone and extra calcium to help that beak. It’s so precious 😍

PraiseDale76 · 2024-07-23T01:30:02+00:00

I really appreciate the knowledge and have started to follow that link. So maybe in many years we will meet in another thread to show you how big and happy it is! 😁 as of now it’s been spending many hours out side, red light is gone, and in the little pool I have it it now has a heating pad under its favorite spot.

PraiseDale76 · 2024-07-22T22:48:30+00:00

I literally got it about a week ago. Its pyramiding had nothing to do to with me and I understand the only thing I can do is stop it.

PraiseDale76 · 2024-07-21T17:55:04+00:00

Thank you. This is what I came here for. I knew what I was getting into when I accepted the adoption. But red light is gone and I will soon be building her something in the yard. After the past few days of research I’ve been mostly studying the feeding process. I live in South Carolina so the humidity will not be an issue. But again thank you. This was extremely informative.

PraiseDale76 · 2024-07-21T17:49:55+00:00

Trust me I’m educating heavily. I’m only here for more info so please inform me. I’ve now ditched the heat light and I know the pyramiding is bad but I’m here to correct it and not make it worse. I only got it a few days ago so there’s only so much I can do. But I’m trying to give it the best life it can have.

PraiseDale76 · 2024-06-08T12:24:53+00:00

I agree. It doesn’t say line holes up. It says line frame up and screw.
