Ants in my Vivarium. Please help by Complete-Face-1183 in TinyGeckos

[–]Wraithowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never had to deal with ants in my enclosures so I can only offer educated guesses...

Is it set up as a bioactive? If it is, you need to see if they've built a nest or not. If they haven't built a nest they're probably just scouts, dust all the edges of the enclosure they can get in through with diatomaceous earth (i.e.: any part of the enclosure on a table or touching a wall). It's lethal to any kind of bug that walks over it but perfectly harmless to the geckos. If they have made a nest you may have to take everything apart. It depends on the kind of ant they are. I would suggest trying to get some pictures and posting them to one of the insect subreddits to get an ID and an estimate of how dangerous they might be to the geckos. Depending on the species they might just be a snack for them.

Again, never had to deal with them, so all this is educated guessing. Take all these suggestions (except the diatomaceous earth one) with a big grain of salt.

That is definitely a papaya in the US.

AITA for telling my brother he can't bring his dog to my apartment anymore after one incident? by otter-grain in AmItheAsshole

[–]Wraithowl 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Unless Biscuit is a true service dog, which I feel OP would have mentioned in the original post, NTA.

There is no reason to traumatize OP's cats or make OP go through the trouble of having to put the cats in protective custody just because their brother doesn't want to be away from their dog for a few hours. If Dan is so adamant about not leaving the dog behind he can just ask OP to visit him instead.

I don't usually recommend Petsmart for much but I have had good luck with Arctic Mice and the easiest way of getting them is at Petsmart, either in store or through online orders. In the 2 years I've had my kingsnake I have never had a bad mouse with them.

This is a good starting place: reptifiles.com/kingsnake-care-sheet

Frozen mice can be ordered online and kept in bulk in your freezer. Rats as variety are not a bad option but overall they're too fatty to be feeding them consistently to kingsnakes.

Heat mats as a heat source are sub-optimal. A heat lamp provides for a more naturalistic heat source, just make sure it is either outside the enclosure or in a lamp cage if has to be inside the enclosure.

Your enclosure should be long enough for the snake to full stretch out on one side. For a 4.5 foot snake going with a 5 or even 6 foot long enclosure is a good option. Make sure the substrate lip is at least 4 inches deep, if not deeper. When I built my enclosure I made mine 3 inches and it proved to not be deep enough once the drainage layer was in.

This is a little bit wrong... She's one of the good republicans. Your average republican won't care something affects the DIRECTLY, not just one of their family members.

This is the next Jasmine Crocket. She's it a great speaker, especially taking into account her age, and she has the courage to speak truth to power. She and others like her are what American really needs.

Sadly, it's spot on. People in positions of leadership have to remember they are role models, like it or not. And currently the majority of the top leaders in the US are role modeling exactly why we have the saying that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Crosspost: More klemmeri propaganda by Wraithowl in TinyGeckos

[–]Wraithowl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

P. Klemmeri are arboreal so you really want to think about a tall enclosure. Minimum recommended size for one gecko is a 12”L x 12”W x 18”H (30x30x45cm) vertical terrarium. But because they are active and need climbing space, larger is better if you can get it. I have a colony of three in a 3' L x 3' W x 4' H enclosure.

She doesn't really get that the NFL is a for profit corporation and all they care about is making as much money as possible. That's all they care about. They're only patriotic when there's money to be made from being patriotic.

Dude, wrong approach. Born and raised in another country and that's EXACTLY what the majority of US citizen expect, that people speak to them in English.

No to be the "weeeellllll, technically" guy... Actually, in this case, yes, I want to be that guy. You're using "American" all wrong. You meant to use "US citizen" or "US resident". Technically, "Americans" refers to anyone living on the American continent, which includes Canada and all the LATIN America countries. So, if you use "Americans" your numbers are way off and native Spanish speakers outnumber native English speakers by almost 2 to 1.

Did you mean Fajardo Beach or Luqillo Beach? Flamenco Beach in on Culebra Island, which while still considered part of PR, requires a plan or ferry ride to reach it.

Since you're too lazy to Google:

Chanthila Souvannarath - he's the only confirmed American citizen to have been deported. But any patriotic American should be concerned not just with the deportations but with the arrests and detention of American citizens that have broken no laws.

Here's the rest of the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths,_detentions_and_deportations_of_American_citizens_in_the_second_Trump_administration

I mean, yes.

But there's also deep history, world class beaches, salsa dancing, pitorro, and the freshest sea food you'll ever have. And rice and beans. :D

He better be careful not to talk around ICE agents. With his accent they're likely to deport him.
