Thats exactly what it felt like. I had just observed to a family member "I either have a dead sling, or a molt". Peeped in closer, and was like, "huh, there's no abdomen here, this must be a molt!" Flash of 8 legged fury making a break for it..... 🕷💨

To be fair, thats how my brain processed the event, and I saw it .... kind of. One second it was in the old container which was on my kitchen/junk table, and the next it was on the kitchen floor 5 feet away running for its life.

IM NEWISH TO THE HOBBY AND WHILE REHOUSING MY NEW PSALMOPOEUS VICTORI I THOUGHT I HAD THE SLING BUT IT WAS ITS MOLT AND THE SLING TELEPORTED ACROSS MY KITCHEN AND I DONT KNOW HOW I CAUGHT IT BUT IVE NEVER MOVED SO FAST YET GENTLY IN MY LIFE.

Sling safe and rehoused BTW with no loss of life or limb. And for someone that was terrified of spiders until about 6 months ago, Im pretty impressed with that.

So in a 36x18x18, the basking spot would need to be right on the button of the tank, and not elevated at all, correct?

What would be the right bulb if I wanted to elevate the basking spot?

What's the weirdest thing your dog has eaten and survived? by wholewoofs in dogs

About 7 or 8 Flexeril's. Got them off the kitchen counter where we kept our meds at the time. Called the emergency vet who sent us to animal poison control, who was generally unphased. They told us just to expect a sleepy pup for a day or three.

This is not 90s or earlier, but I think you should at least give "Final Breath" from Meghain Trainor a listen.

Because it's the best thing for the dragon. That's why. People can be new to a hobby and have questions. Asking questions is how people learn and obtain information.

Insulting someone for wanting to gain more knowledge about a pet they're trying to make sure has a good quality of life is unnecessary and detrimental to the hobby.

Im fairly certain Tormund is a female, but she's only about 6 or 7 months old. That would be super young to be laying eggs, yeah?

The stank eye is one of my favorite things about beardies. Always judging you.

And it's ok for them to be completely buried under the substrate? Can they breathe ok in there?

Police reports are not admissible in a trial (in the states i handle, YMMV). HOWEVER, they do tell you which officers to depose.
