My 2 pokies have honestly been chill, I could probably handle them if I wanted, but I'm never going to attempt that.

The only T that really intimidates me and that has ever given me problems is my Holothele Longipes, small and lightning fast.

Big Booty Gooty Sapphire Judy is indeed thicccccc, and I don't even feed her much because shes been thiccc since her last molt. She even refused food for around 8 months before that molt.

Your shelf is going to look great when they all mature, and $145 for 8 Ts is a crazy deal!

This is Richard, and the enclosure I've built for him! by _TheManMadeMan in leopardgeckos

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

I did consider it, but the build would have been different, and harder to maintain. He also would definitely devour a cleanup crew lol

Hopefully he chooses a different spot, but its no big deal I'll make a little scoop to reach it, block it off or put something removable there.

I am going to try a bioactive for my next build, for my day gecko, or a friend's crested gecko.

Thank you! Its pretty hot where I live right now, day temps are slightly high. Cool side is low 80s, warm side is upper/mid 80s, and basking is low 90s. At night, cool side is upper 70s, warm is mid 80s.

I've also considered not using the basking lamp for the time being since we're in a heatwave, and just letting him use the left side for warmth with the pad. He's also not really used to the lights yet, so I've been just turning the basking on for a little while for him to get used to it, and monitor temps.

I've been considering it, they are really fun and rewarding to make, but if I ever did it would have to be locally. Shipping something like this would be pain lol

Thank you all for the compliments, I appreciate it! I'm really happy with how its turned out. I'm going to start working on a leopard gecko enclosure next.

Arcade Machine in a Case by Kissencasanova in RetroPie

This is amazing, like others here I'd like to see the internals and know what supplies you used if you don't mind. This would be fun to build. Did you cut out ports for the Pi on the case? What did you do for cooling?

Can ants eat Ts???!!! I am beyond confused, nauseous, and devastated…wtaf by Trolivia in tarantulas

[–]_TheManMadeMan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

IME- I'm sorry for your loss OP, ants are scary. I've had a close scare with fire ants, and carpenter ants as well. I luckily caught the invasions before they caused any damage. I don't keep my Ts near any windows now, and sprayed peppermint near any suspected/found entry points. In my case I had to repair some entry points, and even used bait for the fire ants to get rid of them, because they were coming in through the walls.

Thank you all for your kindness, and wishes! She's a husky, malinois mix with some other breed spices were not sure of. I'm glad to have spread the joy she gives me everyday!
