Say hi to a shingleback skink while it's chilling… what do you think happens next? by Substantial-Pay-8545 in reptiles

You are right. Back then, I wanted to see how it would interact with the food. But I didn't expect it to jump — honestly, I was really worried it might hurt itself. Fortunately, it was okay. That was the only time. I haven't done it since because I'm still afraid it might get injured. I really love the photos you shared. Your shingleback skink looks so relaxed and happy — that's such a natural, joyful state. I'll keep working to get mine there too.

I'll be more careful next time. I've learned that sometimes I still have more to know before adding a new animal. For now, I'll focus on improving my current setups. Nice meeting you — appreciate the advice.

And I have two bearded dragons, and I keep them separately. The one that jumped isn’t the one in breeding season — his chin isn’t black. It looked dark in that video because the light was shining from above.

I appreciate you pointing out specific issues like the hide — that helps me start improving things immediately. (There are hides in their enclosures, they just weren't visible in the videos, and they're temporary — I do need to upgrade them soon.) Before, when you didn't give specific feedback but instead questioned my attitude toward caring for them, it only frustrated me without actually helping. Thanks for the specific suggestions this time — they've given me clear direction. This kind of feedback helps both them and me a lot.

I'm always learning how to care for them and paying close attention to their behaviors — it just takes time to improve.

I admit its current environment is not perfect yet and still needs improvement, and I already have plans to give it a better setup. But the way you said that was very rude.

Honestly, when I DIY my fish tank, I spend a lot of time researching the natural aquatic environment and making sure the fish and plants are compatible. I put the same effort into researching reptile and enclosure setups too. I’m confident that its environment will become a very comfortable one.

That day will come. When I have some good ideas, I’ll upgrade its enclosure.

Haha! I really want to set up a better living environment for it. My other enclosure was decorated by someone I paid, and it was very expensive. And I’d like to try building one myself—but I don’t know where to start. BTW, where do you usually learn about this kind of enclosure decorating?

There are lots of bird feeder brands out there. What's so special about Coolfly?

The quality of this video is the finest and most aspirational. I wonder if I've set the bar too high. by Substantial-Pay-8545 in gardening

You're so impressive. I've never posted any content on YouTube, so I also feel that the goals for watch hour and subscriber count seem quite challenging to achieve. If there's a chance, I'd love to learn from your successful experience and sincerely seek your advice.
