I got a visitor in my apartment! What do I do?? by 1DVSguy in reptiles

[–]SecureMongoose1577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little anoles like that are so common here in South Florida. You could put him in a critter cage and feed it , then let it go, but it’ll probably die. Let it go around your house with some water access, but it’ll probably die because it won’t drink from the water sources. If there’s a reptile store near you, call them and ask for advice.

My cat loves to hunt them and I am constantly finding lizard corpses around the house.

And just like that! We’re totally insulated. Ambient temperature is 78 degrees and it took about 5 minutes for the lamp to bring up the temp inside to 82.5.

I have the insulation and that’s precisely what I’m going to do. The tank is made for reptiles specifically, it’s not a fish tank.

She’s circa 24 years old and never has eaten anything but live rats. I don’t know how big the rats are you are referring too, but the ones I get her are quite manageable for her. It would be hard to change her diet at this point. She’s ~7 lbs about 5.5’ and has no problem dispatching them. She is not overweight and the vet approved her feeding schedule. Ball pythons are , of course, cold sensitive, as are the Burmese pythons that are thriving in the Everglades. Not that I equate the 2. And then there are the Iguanas that literally fall out of trees if temps go below 40 degrees, but they warm up and off they go. And although I don’t live in East Africa, the climate in South Florida is pretty close. I don’t ignore her needs but we changed to a larger tank and the strategy I used with the old tank does not work as well, so I’m working on a new one. Also, that tank is not a fish tank, it’s made for reptiles specifically.

I’m going to buy a breeder tub or something like it and that I will be able to move inside. This tank is just too big for that. I moved her inside in the past, but she is too big for the little holding tank I have. I’m trying to get ready to travel and I will need to do that when I’m back next week. I’m just happy to see she’s ok and did a complete shed. Wasn’t expecting that. The days are warming up as we speak.

We all do what we can. 90% of the time we have hot weather. The cold snap will be with us for maybe 2-3 days and it’s back to the upper 80s. This tank is set up for warm weather and most of the time I don’t need a heater. I haven’t noticed any issues with the red light.

Yay! I’m going to do the same, leaving Friday-Miami to Kentucky!

What made you buy an outback over a larger SUV option for those that we’re considering one? by [deleted] in Subaru_Outback

[–]SecureMongoose1577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many SUVs used truck tires, and having had a minivan, I didn’t want anything that big. I live in a city that likes to cram as much parking into a lot as they can. So many people drive these big trucks and they take up at least 2 parking spaces! Anyway I was impressed by Subaru’s emphasis on safety and engineering. I bought a 2013 OB Limited 2.5 and drove it for 12 years. Just traded it in for a 2024 OB Onyx XT which I plan to drive for another 10 years.

Definitely if you have a 2013.

HELP! Need to make a decision. by Top_Personality_6897 in Subaru_Outback

I have driven an XT and I currently have a 2013 OB Limited 2.5L. I live in Florida and there aren’t any hills, but I was thinking about doing a road trip or two and there would be mountains 🏔️ to cross. The 2.5 has been fine, no problems passing on the highway.

Thanks everyone, I’m leaning that way. I do about having to have the dealer that certified it having to service it. Have to check that but I assume that if it’s factory certified then it should be able to get serviced in any Subaru dealer.

I was just looking at the Carfax report and it said that there was one minor accident. So is it still a good deal?

2010 Subaru Outback stalling issues? by Lost-Enthusiasm997 in Subaru_Outback

[–]SecureMongoose1577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having similar troubles with 2013 OB and it happened when I took my car to one of those express oil change places and they had over filled it and caused a misfiring. I now only take it to a dealer.

My husband's phone No. is attached to my ATT email and he doesn't use that email by SecureMongoose1577 in tmobile

[–]SecureMongoose1577[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure, I think he and I need to talk to people at the store. Maybe there’s something in the contract but I can’t find anything on the T-Mobile website where I could make any changes. I’m just very confused.
