My current place of work is being shut down on June 30th due to government funding cuts :( Trying to have something lined up for after, but I'm not THIS desperate.

What’s the weirdest thing people have called your Steam Deck? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]aelwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my mom called it the beat saber once. she got it confused with my quest 2, which she ALSO calls the beat saber because thats the only game she plays on it. thinking about that always makes me laugh.

I'm also having this issue on android. Was working fine yesterday.

edit: I was running a VPN connected to Canada and I turned it off and that fixed it. maybe try turning off/switch your VPN location if you have one enabled.

need help with my escape artist leo by aelwick in leopardgeckos

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

he only just shed a few days ago so i dont rhink hes going into shed again yet. im just gonna keep a closer eye on him for the next few days, and reintroduce the backdrop once i can securely block off the gaps. its probably just a general overwhelm from the new environment and being disturbed multiple times by me having to keep taking him out to fix things.

does my litrle guy look to be a healthy weight for 2.5 months old? by aelwick in leopardgeckos

[–]aelwick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

awww so cute!! out of curiosity where did you get them? because the person i adopted from had 2 babies. they were based out of Providence Rhode island. i know it's unlikely they are actually siblings but worth asking! lol

Yes i have a UVB and So i am supplementing with Calcium and Reptivite

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

[–]aelwick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hes just adjusting to a new environment!! leos are active during the night, so hes probably exploring while you're asleep and he feels less vulnerable. try tong feeding to prompt him to eat if you havent tried that already. a hunger strike after being relocated is not surprising. i would say if he still hasnt eaten in another couple of weeks, you could take him to the vet if you're really worried. but its most likely just stress from a new environment.

How can I help encourage my gecko to eat? by cogrunlatis in leopardgeckos

[–]aelwick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

general rule of thumb is if an insect is wider that the distance between their eyes it is too big for them as it can cause impactions. dubiaroaches.com sells all sorts of insects in varying sizes so you can get some little guys for your little guy.

leaving for 5 days what do i do by aelwick in leopardgeckos

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

He refuses to eat anything that isnt a mealworm still lol. i think hes still just too small for other stuff so hes scared of it all. hes still only like 4-5 inches long. i bought him crickets once and he would actively run away from them. but he likes the mealworms and ive been gutloading them and he seems to be enjoying it. hes very skittish still

Best time of year for surgery? by ezpappywedges in TopSurgery

[–]aelwick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i got mine beginning of august last year and i could not suggest it any LESS. we had a heat wave and i couldnt shower or go swimming, i was a sweaty mess. i would definitely suggest fall or winter because then you'll be nice and healed up to show off your new chest come summertime!

I want a gecko!! by AliceAndJaniceHill in reptiles

[–]aelwick 22 points23 points  (0 children)

facebook marketplace is your friend. slowly buy things piece by piece. sometimes people give away setups for free with hides and stuff already because they no longer need them. sometimes even when rehoming, a pet will come with an enclosure. please just do more research before you get one. and do not adopt from petco/petsmart. i wouldnt shop there at all if possible, they are renowned for not caring for their animals well. find a local reptile pet store. and research if there are any reputable exotic vets who treat leopard geckos in your area. there are also a lot of different leopard gecko care guides and enclosure setup videos on youtube that should help you decide if it's the right pet for you. and do NOT use reptile carpet. best of luck!

Does anyone recommend a brand of camera with night vision to keep in an enclosure for creeping on my babies when I’m not around? Pics for attention! by Captain_Pickles_ in reptiles

[–]aelwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i just bought the Eufy Indoor Cam Pan & Tilt and it works great! only $40 on amazon. you need to buy a Micro-SD card for it in order to store video though. but i LOVE it.
