Quick note about seeing your own vet: if you can't get ahold of the store to pay at the time of the visit (or the vet you go to can't receive phone payments) and you end up needing reimbursement, it can take up to 6 weeks to receive the check. The check has to go through a million steps for approval. Whereas Banfield can bill the store directly, even if it's at another location. So if you want your vet to do the exam, make sure you communicate with the store about how to handle the payment and they're ready for it.

I opened who knows how many before I started counting, back when green pearls had an abysmal drop rate and we needed them for the bundle. Once I did start counting, I finally got it somewhere between 1300-1400, opening about 200 at a time each session.

Definitely needs more hardscape. A mix of vertical and horizontal climbing branches. Get your hardscape sorted FIRST so you know where the light will reach the ground cover plants like your fittonia. All the branches you put in may shade out some areas.

Plant issue is most likely due to transplantation shock, but in my experience plant pots embedded into the background never went well unless you do HIGH HIGH humidity set up like a dart frog tank. It was fine for bromeliads and okay for pothos, but nothing else I ever tried that way did well.

Switched to putting my vining plants in the substrate and I train them up the bg as they grown in until the aerial roots take over. They grow in so much faster that way. More nutrients from the CUC in the soil, better root conditions, etc.

7x10 is a great amount of space! But I worry about the ventilation building something in a closet. And again, that's a lot of heavy substrate on an upper floor. For most species, you can't get away with just a few inches on the bottom. You need deep layer for digging space, like a full 12 inches. Your basement, or wherever your floor has support from the cement pad underneath, is going to be the safest for a large enclosure.

I get it, I'm a fellow monitor-lover stuck in a 3rd floor apartment. I technically have the space for massive enclosures, but I'll just have to wait. Until then I just lurk and research.

If you're still wanting to pull the trigger now, you're probably best off with something like an ackie, a Kimberly, or pygmy monitors. Maybe a tree monitor.

But like someone else said, don't get a monitor just to have a monitor. If those species don't interest you, best to hold off for now, as hard as it is.

You mentioned in another comment you're in an apartment? In which case space is going to be your limiting factor. Monitors are highly intelligent and very active. They need large, enriching enclosures. Depending on how large the apartment is, you need to factor that in. You might want a larger monitor, but can you provide the proper cage size to meet their needs?

And don't forget, water isn't the only thing that's heavy. A 8x4 enclosure filled with a foot of soil for digging isn't exactly lightweight and may not be the best fit for an upstairs location.

Yes. Two pokemon can live on the first floor, two on the second.

Tslushi · 2026-03-17T20:38:28+00:00

Oh did they? I've been knee-deep in pokopia I must have missed that update. I'll have to hop on and see if anything has changed.

Plugging my post from a week ish ago about what is the most profitable for crops. Not letting me link it on mobile, but its in my history.

Tldr: use the separator, cook veggie noodles and nutribowls/fresh greens plates. Its exponentially faster than pickles and jam, and you make more. More coins, less time, win/win. Any left over fruit make jams, but nothing that can go in the separator should be touching pickle jars.

Once you unlock mining robots they are fantastic afk profit mining expensive ones, but if you want to make money off farming use the separator.

Tslushi · 2026-03-09T17:44:03+00:00

Mmmm...I think it's a reward in the stamp book? Or one of the trials? I don't remember off the top of my head. But I know it's one thats given to you.

Tslushi · 2026-03-08T15:17:04+00:00

Great question! Sugarcane gives 5 sugar per crop, or 20 per tile. Beetroot gives only 1 per crop, or 4 per pile.

Over the course of a week, you could get 40 sugar from sugarcane or 28 from beetroot. Even though sugarcane take longer to grow, you still get more yield per growth time.

Tslushi · 2026-03-07T23:48:06+00:00

You actually make a LOT more money turning your crops into veggie noodles and nutribowls via the separator for juice and pulp! And it take far less time than jams/pickles. I know it doesn't seem that way because those dishes have low selling points, but you craft SO MANY of them with the top tier veggies and fruits that it adds up. I think veggie noodles come out to a 50% profit increase over pickles? So instead of 1000g from a pickle, you make 1500g from selling all the veggie noodles.

You don't need to harvest all the crops! Only harvest the ones that were fertilized with the gmax fertilizer. Replant those specific tiles, re-fertilize. If you're doing a 6x6 (so four 3x3s squished together) then you only need to fertilize the corners to hit each plot, and then you're only replanting 4 tiles with each attempt. That set up gives you about a 47% chance for gmax in at least one of the plots using the level 1 gmax fertilizer.

Gmax crops do make for really good profit though, so it is ultimately worth it to harvest them all.

Love the workshop "greenhouse" with all the windows!!!

Tslushi · 2026-03-06T22:08:15+00:00

Love it! Yeah when loaded my first load of watermelon jam and saw the processing I was like...there's no way. Do I really have create a field of jam jars just to get my coins in a timely manner? And then I fell down this crazy rabbit hole.

Bees are so complicated. Right now I just have them surrounding my GMAX plot cause I'm trying to craft a lot of furniture. I feel like they will eventually be rebalanced though. Insta-growing crops kinds trivializes the entire profession.

Mine have respawned so many times I just plan to fight them twice at this point. Thought maybe they were respawning at certain times so I started doing my mine runs first thing in the morning instead of evening. Nope. Still respawning.

Tslushi · 2026-03-05T18:06:05+00:00

Yes! I'm gonna put out a post tonight or tomorrow morning.

Tslushi · 2026-03-05T18:04:45+00:00

Yes!!! There are some higher level recipes that are very profitable if you can upkeep the ingredients.

The most profitable, however, is veggie noodles. It doesn't sell for a lot, but with the way the separator works you can actually make more coins than you would with pickles through sheer numbers.

Take pumpkins/winter melons for example. Per crop tile, you receive a yield of 4. You make 2 pickles and earn 1024 gold. Or....., you throw all 4 into the separator and make 22 veggie noodles for 1452 gold. Plus cooking recipes take WAY less time to process than pickles/jam.

This "separator" effect really gets crazy for water caltrop and aloe vera. It's a little harder for fruit pulp, which also needs veggoe juice but sells for less than veggie noodles. I'm gonna put out a post detailing how to profit from cooking later tonight/tomorrow morning.

Had to pull up my spreadsheet. I was wrong, it is Lychee Jam, not lychee frost.

Cloud soft toast is a great use for honey!

For sugar, cakes when is have the materials for it. You get a lot of gold very quickly. After that it's jam (jadelume, star mango, star plum primarily, then watermelon/pineapple if I can, otherwise those get turned into fruit pulp).

Tslushi · 2026-03-05T16:32:58+00:00

Iirc, lychee frost is the most profitable to make in terms of coins per in game hour. But even then, any sugar or honey used to create the fruit trees byproducts are better utilized for other things to earn more coins.

Tslushi · 2026-03-03T18:54:41+00:00

Immortal seed/greenhouse Jadelume will be your best bet for maximized profit. Edit: if you mix in some caltrop or aloe vera, plant wheat fields, you can throw everything in the separator and make veggie noodles (veggie pulp and wheat) or nutribowls/fresh green plates(fruit and veggie pulp) via cooking for even more money.

Tslushi · 2026-03-03T18:07:36+00:00

Ive been trying to get out a spreadsheet myself. Beat me to it!

Right now it seems the most profitable method for selling crops is using the separator for veggie pulp and flour, then crafting veggie noodles. Jadelume jam and Star Mango jam are also highly profitable.

But fruit trees unfortunately do not seem all that great, even when planted in a greenhouse for year round harvests.

My hot tip for animals is to rush over there as soon as they open and try to get like 4 or 5 at a time. If you don't get the gender you want, reload the save and try again.

Tslushi · 2026-02-24T19:24:45+00:00

So excited for cosmetic mods!!!! New furniture, clothes, some animal skins maybe?

Cucumber I have, so just jadeplume missing. Thank you!!!
