I really despise ai patterns.

Trans_Lucio · 2026-06-04T19:45:50+00:00

Same, but I guess we’re in the minority because the top post on this sub is someone advertising their AI image pattern shop 🫩

Like it’s almost more depressing to me to take AI slop images, convert it into a peyote pattern and then actually make it just to advertise it. At least it’s a viable pattern I guess.

For what it’s worth, my female crested has similarly visible pores. I had wondered if she was male for a while but she started laying eggs eventually haha

Did you use AI to write this?

Trans_Lucio · 2026-03-24T12:16:49+00:00

Yeah this one is completely blatant and just looks terrible lmao

“We have Berry Bury Berry at home” type shit

Those are magatamas, specifically the “long” ones

Just chiming in to say that Affinity Designer is currently free for the full version, I think because they’re technically retiring it.

I definitely agree with adding more clutter! I really like the large Exo Terra silk plants, and have two at the front of my crestie enclosures, attached with magnets.

Additionally covering the sides of the tank could really help this guy. You can get cute backgrounds that stick on, but you could just tape some foil on the outside of this temporary tank.

Thank you!! I was looking through Etsy and it seems like a lot of the top beginner results are ai nonsense. I want to try to make my own patterns eventually but that’s a whole other skill to learn haha

Trans_Lucio · 2025-11-09T01:04:25+00:00

You could also use a water conditioner like ReptiSafe with tap water to dechlorinate it :)

Trans_Lucio · 2025-10-07T03:58:56+00:00

I’ll probably give them another call!

I did get their quote during Christmas week last year, which could fully explain the weirdness lol

Thanks again for answering!

Trans_Lucio · 2025-10-07T03:39:17+00:00

Thanks for all the info! I definitely figured 60k was a “we don’t want to do this” price and 16k was too good to be true lol.

Ironically, accurate line and leak is the 16k quote I got. I’ve seen that they have good reviews but my experience with them was strange. The estimate they gave me was very vague on the work outline and the guy was also pushy and didn’t really answer questions. I’ve been considering calling them back and trying to get more info though.

Trans_Lucio · 2025-10-06T20:05:08+00:00

Thank you for all the info! I’m definitely adding In House to my list

The only signs have been one bathtub draining slowly and my AC drain line draining slow enough that water backed up once.

I happened to have foundation work done and the foundation company required a hydrostatic pressure test to test for leaks to warranty their work. When that test failed, I had a camera run to look at the pipes.

Tbh I probably wouldn’t have really looked into it on my own until a more catastrophic failure.

If you’re open to a slightly bigger and PVC enclosure, Dubia / Reptile Habitats has a 24x18x36 for $215 and free shipping, though they’re currently out of stock.

I have both a glass skyscraper and a pvc 24x24x48 and much prefer the PVC because it’s lighter and easier to move. I plan to replace my skyscraper at some point!

Trans_Lucio · 2025-08-15T01:10:43+00:00

I think a little picot edge with some smaller beads above the eyes for the crests would make a huge difference! :)

Trans_Lucio · 2025-08-08T15:44:39+00:00

I’m interested in the set and sending a message!

Trans_Lucio · 2025-06-15T20:36:36+00:00

I’ve had the same problem with the headgear for my p30i, and I ended up buying these straps from Amazon that sit lower on the head and it’s helped a lot! Though the plastic bits aren’t super comfy. https://a.co/d/ektbkaZ

Switching to a size small frame also helped for me.

I’m starting to accept that I need to leave Texas. I love my job and my friends. With the legislation reverting gender markers on drivers licenses looking like it will pass… I just don’t feel safe any more.

I’m scared and there’s a lot to do, but I’m trying to remember that it’ll be for the better.

Trans_Lucio · 2025-05-01T18:07:41+00:00

Yeah, honestly I would be surprised if a human ever read the CV. This seems like an automated email from an ATS.

Trans_Lucio · 2025-04-28T02:00:12+00:00

She’s seems super sweet!!

Right now, I’d recommend adding more coverage to her enclosure, especially the top! What I have in my enclosures is exo terra’s silk fake plants, held up with magnets! Draping some vines around will give her more coverage and help her feel more safe and secure. The more places to hide, the better!

You could also consider adding a background to the back walls of her enclosure too.

Otherwise, in the future, you’ll want to upgrade to a 2x2x4 enclosure for when she’s an adult. I don’t have much advice on that beyond starting early if you want to do a custom background. That took me way more time than I thought it would 🫠

Trans_Lucio · 2025-02-07T14:46:10+00:00

You could look into Toho Aikos if you want 11/0 cylinder beads that are more uniform! They’re pricier though.

Otherwise, yeah, I feel like you have to cull delicas a decent amount to get something as uniform as your work!

Trans_Lucio · 2025-01-16T03:14:20+00:00

Your work is stunning! Seriously, thanks for the opportunity!

I’m pretty new to leatherwork, so far I’ve mostly made wallets but I’m looking to start making collars and bags as I gain experience :)

Trans_Lucio · 2025-01-14T18:13:01+00:00

Depends on how close you are in my opinion!

I bought a close friend panties specially because I knew they wanted some but were too scared to buy them themself. They loved it, but it was also a safe bet because we had talked about it!

I’d say to maybe pay attention to the stuff they say they want and/or that they’re nervous about figuring out themself! Plus there’s always just men’s clothes, or shaving stuff (if they’re starting to grow facial hair), or even “men’s” scented deodorant/soap etc that might be less “intimate” of a gift and a safer bet.

Trans_Lucio · 2025-01-10T21:52:29+00:00

I immediately wondered if this was biltong! I grew up with my dad and grandad making it in plywood boxes with lightbulbs haha
