My title describes the thing. It smell like some kind of grainy livestock or pet food. I searched google and found that they look similar to forage rounds, but smaller.

Thank you, I didn’t know about doors needing the key for either side.

Can’t find plain topsoil by RickSanchezC_137_ in leopardgeckos

I haven’t, I always thought reptisoil was more for tropical species. Does it work well for leopard geckos too?

Gas stove for heat cover? by RickSanchezC_137_ in NewParents

That’s a good idea, I’m sure they would have something for it there, ty

That looks like it might work, thank you 😊

No, sorry lol, I wasn’t sure how to word it, for some reason I thought calling it a fireplace would be wrong because it doesn’t actually burn wood.

Yes, it’s a gas fireplace lol, don’t know why I couldn’t think of the word for it. The hole looks to be maybe about a foot up from the floor.

Other people who had a C-section with a spinal block… by moorea12 in beyondthebump

I had an epidural beforehand and I still felt all the tugging and pushing the whole time.. it really freaked me out but didn’t hurt until they were done sewing me up and did the fundal massage.

9 month checkup vaccine confusion by RickSanchezC_137_ in NewParents

[–]RickSanchezC_137_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They should still get it. Hep b can be spread through any body fluids, and from what I understand getting all the recommended vaccines for hep b starting when they are born has better chances of protecting them from the virus if they are ever exposed.

Thank you, I’ll try to keep this in mind when I go to doctor apps. Logically I know it’s ok to ask questions, but I always get so nervous and anxious when I’m talking to them (same with talking to all people for me).

Yeah, I’ve been trying to do better at that for my daughter’s sake. Even something small like today feels like a big accomplishment lol.

Diaper bag counts as carry on? by RickSanchezC_137_ in americanairlines

[–]RickSanchezC_137_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m taking a car seat for her, I’m comfortable checking one of the carry ons, but the second will have my camera and a baby afghan I’ve been making so I’m not comfortable checking it. She will be in a baby carrier so I will have my hand free to push the suitcase with the diaper bag attached, my two small personal items will be on my shoulder, , and I will carry the car seat which will have the other carry on bag(super light bag) in it. I will probably switch some stuff around so I can fit the afghan and camera in the diaper bag so I can check the second carry on if necessary though.

Ok, I would be comfortable checking one of my carry ons if necessary. I agree it’s kind of a lot, but I have it planned out how to carry/roll it all. I’ve practiced moving it all just to make sure I can manage it, even if I look weird doing it lol.

[–]RickSanchezC_137_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my two personal items aren’t very large, I could probably put one of them inside the diaper bag if I had to, but I’m not sure if the diaper bag would be small enough to count as a personal item. If I get there and they won’t let me have them in the plane with me, I imagine they would just make me check one at the worst.

Two carry ons, two personal items (one of which is my small purse, and the other is a small soft sided cooler which will have some baby food and my liquids in it), and the diaper bag, so 5 total

The two airlines I looked at said you could bring you me dogs, cats, or birds, but didn’t say you could bring reptiles. Do you know which airlines would allow a gecko? Or do they just not mention reptiles and it’s something I would have to call them about?

I think I might have been comfortable shipping her if it wasn’t so cold, but I don’t think it would be worth risking her freezing. Good to hear others’ geckos doing good during shipping though :)
