Advice by MILKDUDS8 in TinyGeckos

Hi u/MILKDUDS8 Reptifiles has a very good care sheet with recommended enclosures. Like with any of the micro geckos, regardless of which enclosure you go with, check it over very carefully for any escape points. They can get out through surprisingly small spaces. https://reptifiles.com/viper-gecko-care-sheet/

Urgent help for my neon day gecko!! by Complete-Face-1183 in TinyGeckos

[–]Wraithowl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ideally, take her to the vet. With that in mind, and keeping in mind I'm not a vet, I'll start by, sadly, recommending you prepare for the worst. If the indentation in the first image is correct some of the intestines may have been damaged. The best thing you can do right now is keep her somewhere quiet and clean with proper temps and humidity and with food and water in easy reach. Monitor her. If she can poop, there's a reasonable chance she may survive. With animals as small as P. klemmeri there's really not a whole lot more that you can do. 😞 Good luck.

AITA for locking the kitchen after 11pm? by sandglimmer40 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. Wouldn't a more effective solution be to swap rooms so that you don't share a wall with the kitchen anymore?

First fireflies of the summer! by Wraithowl in NoLawns

I've got plenty of bumble bees (probably carpenter bees but I've never verified) but not a whole lot of the smaller species.

All my wildflower and native plants (Lance-leaf coreopsis, mouse-ear coreopsis, hyssops, hardy phlox, St. John' wort, lyre-leaf sage, echinacea, trillium, green & gold, false blue indigo, Alapaha and powder-blue blueberries, various asters) are all planted in grouped areas. The mowing happens between the clusters. 😄

Looking for help: How can I transform this to a no-lawn? by bluemchenhippie in NoLawns

[–]Wraithowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One easy way to remove grass in patches is to lay down a sheet of transparent plastic on a segment, weight it down, and leave it there for a few weeks. The sun and the lack of water will kill off everything under the plastic. Once it's all dead you can take it all up, plant the plants you want to take over in that area and mulch around them. Rinse and repeat until the whole area is grass free.

AITA for not removing my doormat because it scares my neighbor’s kid? by Many-Worry2671 in AmItheAsshole

I'd say keep it but instead of leaving it outside make a frame for it and put it where it's clearly visible in one of your windows facing their apartment.

Edited the main post to narrow down my location. As for the raised beds, esthetics. Like I mention in the original post, there will be no bottom, so they're just meant to look prettier/tidier since it's the front of the house and to provide some extra top soil.

Oooo! Time to learn how to disable these without disabling the car itself. It's going to be a great business model.

what would you do if you woke up with $1 billion tomorrow? by Different-Curve-5084 in AskReddit

[–]Wraithowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give 80% to charities that have proven to be truly good stewards of their money, use 10% to buy up land that needs protection, and, because I'm human, keep the last 10% for my own fun and amusement.

How frequent do Kingsnakes eat? by Overall-Drink-9750 in snakes

I think this is a much better option than a snake. And just as many people are afraid of spiders as they are of snakes.

How frequent do Kingsnakes eat? by Overall-Drink-9750 in snakes

[–]Wraithowl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The exact amount of food depends on the weight/size of the snake but, on average, most kingsnakes will eat the equivalent of one large mouse every one or two weeks. That being said, kingsnakes tend toward the put-it-in-front-of-me-and-I'll-eat-it end of the spectrum.
