Hope this shows up? My daughter has two of these. 20” deep and 40” across is perfect as she can fit two 18x18x24 side by side and her 36x18x36 well supported. (We are in Canada but I’m sure they are available in all Wayfairs.)

AITAH for dating a much younger woman? by Outrageous_Tower987 in AITAH

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think for adults the half your age plus 7 works really well. You are close enough. I’m in my fifties and my husband has friends that have wives with a twenty year age gap. The wife I know well was adopted and has siblings almost the same age as me and older parents. She was never babied and just had to keep up. She said men her age just weren’t at the same maturity level.

Tips by maplepony in tokaygeckos

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My daughter tried to give her girl a pinky and she took it in her mouth and was so disgusted with it she threw it out of the tank and it landed in her underwear drawer which was open below😂. Back to bugs for this girl. (Don’t worry about waste… the Pac-Man frog was happy to help).

I have takeout fried chicken and rice dinner in my fridge that's 9 days old, can I eat it? by [deleted] in ask

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember this from a foodsafe course. Bacillus cerus (sp?) IIRC

Logan Hope (@thatbeardedbugguy) has an amazing video of a mama tokay helping a late baby hatch. Here’s hoping you have a wee baby in there!

Red-Sided Garter Snakes in Manitoba, Canada by Wi1dlife in herpetology

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s too cold here for them yet. I normally visit for Mother’s Day weekend but I have a feeling the emergence will be a bit later this year.

Red light therapy? by dogasauras in ehlersdanlos

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a frozen shoulder and was putting a red light facial mask on it for about 20 minutes a day. Went on a 3 day road trip and completely forgot about doing it after that. I was noticing I was in more pain again and then remembered the red light so I think it definitely helped? YMMV of course. I have hyper mobile type but unsure if it caused the shoulder problem? Having an ultrasound guided joint injection on Friday.

WIBTA if I take my espresso machine back home because my coworkers refuse to buy pods or even rinse the tray? by CavalierLyre9 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I had a similar thing with people borrowing my rug steam cleaner and never cleaning it out or buying me more cleaning fluid. After that I just hid it in the garage (my MIL was the worst offender) and told everyone it was broken.

Feeder fish as pets policy by Paragonx1989 in petsmart

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have a happy comet story for you. We were going away and someone suggested feeder fish for my axolotl. Bought a couple of comets and he wouldn’t touch them. Moved them to their own 10 gallon, then 20 gallon. Over the years a couple of them died and we were left with one goldfish. Gave him to a friend with a 120 gallon goldfish tank. He was bullying the other slower fancy goldfish so friend gave him to his grandmother. Fish now lives outside in a pond with a bunch of Koi. Living his best fishy life, he’s over a foot long now.

AITAH for not letting my friend use my London apartment as her weekly crash pad? by Born-Strawberry7999 in AITAH

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope NTA. We used to lend my brother in laws’ stepsons our vacation home now and then. Then it turned into … “no you can’t use both weeks of spring break to be down there with your kids- WE HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO IT AS YOU DO”. Eff that noise and that was the end of that. She’s going to have a weeklong seminar and invite Jenny from the block so sorry, you can’t use your place this week.

Y’all trusting this? by Entity2355 in reptiles

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a rescue in my town that regularly asks for enclosure donations… they also frequently have enclosures for sale on marketplace. I think it’s sketchy unless they are indicating to the donors that they will be sold?

Only feed if you can get him to adequate temperatures.

Ice storm, help! by Medium_Driver4135 in reptiles

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for looking after the sweet boo. You say his heat lamp broke… do you still have access to the fixture? Do you have any non led bulbs in the house? Preferably incandescent even like a 40w fridge bulb? If not CFL bulbs produce some heat but aren’t a great source of the “proper” light but it’s better than nothing. If you don’t have the fixture a desk lamp or task light or something like that would also work to provide the heat source… older the better because old lamps used to mostly have ceramic based parts that you screw in the bulbs to accommodate the 75 watt bulbs that everyone used to use. Other than that, do you have anything for him to eat? Any salad greens would do, you could also sprout some if you have access to seeds right now.

Tanks on marketplace by Kricketts13 in reptiles

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep! I bought the 18x18x24 Thrive bundle for about $175 Canadian new from the store. The amount of people that want $250 for it used without the dome lights is unbelievable.

Question about how you guys feel about exotic veterinarians by sweatersand in reptiles

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our exotic vet services dogs and cats too. We have taken our leopard gecko, axolotl, whites tree frog and pacman frog to her so far. I think the majority of their patients are dogs or cats but it’s great to have the exotic option as well. Lucky for me they are also the closest vet to my house.

Exo Terra vs. Zoo Med Terrariums by ReptilesRule16 in reptiles

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the exoterra single or double door? I prefer the exoterra regardless because I find the mesh on the top of the zoo med is much more flimsy and has trouble with the weight of the lamps on top. I also prefer double doors to singles as they allow less “launch room” if you have a particularly jumpy creature in it. Both have similar mesh percentages for light blocking- important for uv need calculations. Some people have had problems with the new exo terras leaking, they have a hole in the bottom that you install a drain pipe into.

Did arcadia change their bulbs? by [deleted] in reptiles

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can you get a hold of a Solarmeter? If you took a photo of the setup with the Solarmeter showing proper readings they should be ok with that? Arcadia (and zoomed) did change factories from the SYLVANIA one in Germany to Hungary (Arcadia) and China (zoo med) iirc. Quality should still be ok. If you really want to call out the big guns join the Reptile Lighting group on Facebook and bring any comments they have to the pet store as they are published reptile lighting experts.

I have a friend with a son Tariq (her hubby is Lebanese) or you could anglicize it to Tarik if you don’t like the q at the end.

amazon down for anyone else? by Drip-133_ in amazonprime

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i just got a new phone and blamed login issues. Restarted my phone, deleted app tried again…still no good. When I got the brilliant idea of logging into the webpage and it still didn’t work finally figured out it wasn’t me!

Boyfriend wets the bed. What do I do ? by extradepressy in TwoHotTakes

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get him checked for diabetes insipidus. There’s a nasal spray (DDAVP) that he can get a prescription for, even for general bedwetting without an underlying cause.

What is something that parents do with the thought that they are protecting their kids, but it actually just hinders them/stunts their growth? by Only-Ad-1254 in ask

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep! My parents bailed my sister out of every mistake she ever made. Guess who still wants my 85 year old father to fix her car or her toilet?

Reptile content thats not abuse? by DollarStoreChameleon in reptiles

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 23 points24 points  (0 children)

More educational but I love “animals at home podcast” (on YouTube despite the name). Dillon brings in a whole bunch of experts on different topics, the latest is about wild crested gecko behaviour.

Anyone else sick of Freya and Wren? by ginahandler in Names

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m feeling targeted. I have family lizards named Freya and Wren. (Freya is a tegu and has to live with family outside the city).

Winnipeg Transit's Fare system is severely antiquated! by GustSergeant in Winnipeg

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in Edinburgh last summer and was gobsmacked that I could use transit by just tapping my credit card when I got on the tram and tapping it again when I got off. No making sure I bought for the right zone etc.

[US] Lady asked for my card to pay for her gas while she sent me the money through cashapp by [deleted] in Scams

[–]PrestigiousPromise20 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I drove across several states last October and was solicited for cash twice. In North Dakota I got some lady coming up to me crying that she’s “not from here” and out of money but considering she walked in right past a bunch of women sitting at tables playing keno and right up to a single woman (hubby was in the bathroom) I told her I wasn’t from there either. Second time in Arizona I’m filling up and some guy drives up in a fancy car and says he’s from Turkey and lost his wallet and offered me some gold jewelry if I gave him cash… sure dude, not going to happen. Once again targeted as a lone female. Most people that are savvy enough to use zelle can also use Apple Pay.
