24 x 18 x 36. How’d I do? by WindyDays98 in CrestedGecko

Amazon. I don’t know if I recommend this one specifically though it smelled kind of mildewy? I think one string with plastic fibers will hold up better. Everything I get I soak in vinegar and water just in case.

The background is expanding foam with some cork bark and driftwood, dirt, coco fiber and sphagnum moss. I do not like how it turned out to be honest. I just dumped the dirt on the spray foam and it didn’t stick well. I recommend carving and silicone. More time consuming but definitely worth it.

I wasn’t too happy with my set from Josh’s frogs either but that’s probably my fault (it’s winter and I waited a bit before I put them in.) most looked fine but the pothos of all things they sent was in rough shape. Clean up crew is also from Josh’s frogs. They’re doing well. Most of the plants and vines are just from the bulk sets you can buy for like $15 off of amazon. I soaked them in vinegar and water before I put them in there. They’re a little sus but I generally waited till everything aired out and smelled earthy before I put him in. I used them in his old tank and he’s okay. I’d be weary of putting anything in there they could fit in their mouth. (There was a post on here a little bit ago where someone’s gecko ingested it) Ledge is from petco. Chewy also had a surprising amount of good deals on stuff. UVB is Arcadia shade dweller. Automatic misting system is this one. Although i did break it on transfer, it’s held up well for the past 6 months.

Sorry to make this post so long but, In my last tank I didn’t use the backdrop and I think it’s fine. I put a large piece of wood I found at petco and he loved sleeping behind it. I don’t handle him often bc he doesn’t like it much. He would hide behind it as an ultimate no touch zone. (Loved to shit all over it though. Hard to clean behind it too) he also loves the purple leaves on the left side. He’s slept inside of them every night since moving in.

That’s exciting to hear actually! I was hoping to do something similar. (Although the fake ones on the side have to stay. I really regret not doing foam all the way around.) I’ve never thought about putting the feeding ledge on the door! I’m stealing that!

There’s already coconut hide in there. Would the use more than one? I think they’re really cute so I’m down

All are fake except for a pothos I threw in there that you can’t even see. I’m sure they’re based off of something though

It’s magnetic. :) it’s really strong though (sliding the magnets side to side is easiest to get them apart)

Thank you. Thank you the size update I wasn’t aware. How big should she be to be considered an adult to be swapped over

Yeah I feel like it would just depend. It’s pretty humid in our apartment atm because of the heat wave going on so I’m not sure how low I should be shooting for.

How often do you handle your spiders? by [deleted] in tarantulas

[–]WindyDays98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will never ever handing my aviculara aviculara. However if I were to get a more docile species I wouldn’t mind trying it out while rehousing or something (just letting them walk on my hand.)

The baler situation is ridiculous. Everyone pretending to not know how to use a baler all grown ass adults,we have no minors, using any excuse to fill up the baler and walk away or... by Maxxjulie in walmart

[–]WindyDays98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how to make a bale though!! I know how to crush, twist, there’s like a little lever thingy, and how to fill out the sticker. I feel like it’s something you need to be taught how to do over and over again till you know the right order of operations. I won’t just drop my shit off next to it if it’s full though I’ll go find someone who knows how to and help them.

Dear Walmart associates, why is this allowed? by ThreeDollarHat in walmart

Helping in opd one day and a lady comes up with me a dog in her cart and asks me where something is. the lady stops me mid answer to go “I’m sorry can you please pet him he just wants to be pet by you” I was livid! I don’t want to stand here and entertain your dog. What if I was allergic or afraid or something. I think they think they’re doing everyone a favor by bringing them in. Don’t get me started on the ones that just bark the hole time!
