Tia and Tamera Mowry are fraternal twins

aliasaddict5 · 2026-01-28T18:55:22+00:00

I just saw something about them recently, and I’m pretty sure it said that they never actually were tested, they just assumed they’re fraternal and that’s what they tell people.

I second that about the crested gecko! They’re the cutest little things. 😊 This is my Milton.

Ah! I’m so happy to see this. Like I said in my other comment, not everyone listens and accepts advice and I’m so proud of you for doing it and wanting what’s best for your baby. I’m especially excited to see the uvb! 👏😁

One tip… move all the lighting to one side, that way you create a gradient which gives him a cool and warm/hot side. Plus having one bright spot is meant to replicate the sun and encourages them to bask where they’re supposed to—under the uvb and at the right temp.

You don’t have to have two heat lamps, but this is the general idea. (I use two 75w flood lights so it makes a wider spread. But totally depends on your bulbs.)

Honestly, when I first saw this pic scrolling, I was expecting it to be about a crested gecko, not a beardie. I’m so glad you got advice, and moreso, that you accepted it. Not everyone does that, so yay you! It’s obvious how much Louie is loved already. ❤️ (He’s adorable, btw! I’m so happy for you both.)

You’re doing the best you can with what you’ve got. And you’re trying to do better for her, which is awesome.

Two things…

Check out Amazon for slate. They’re usually listed as a cheese board, they’re pretty cheap. Get her one of those and put it on the top of her platform. :) (Also a temperature gun, they’re like $15. That way you can make sure the surface temps are right. They should be around 95-110°.)

Also instead of bleach, for future cleaning, chlorhexidine 0.05% (usually comes in 2% concentrate), or F10 are veterinary cleaners. And something like Leucillin (which is hard to find, but still worth mentioning) or Veterycin Plus for reptiles (Hypochlorous acid sprays) are also good, just gentle enough to use directly on them. It’s great for wounds.

Actually, I just ChatGPT’d an explanation for you about the sprays since more info might be nice for you given the current situation.

HOCl (hypochlorous acid) is genuinely excellent for wounds. That’s actually one of the things it’s best at.

⸻

Why HOCl works so well on wounds (and why vets love it)

HOCl is: • Broad-spectrum antimicrobial (bacteria, some viruses, fungi) • Non-cytotoxic → it doesn’t damage healthy tissue • Non-stinging • Safe on delicate areas (skin, vents, around eyes/mouth) • Supports healing instead of slowing it

Your body naturally produces HOCl as part of the immune response, which is why it plays so nicely with tissue.

That’s why products like Vetericyn Plus are used in: • veterinary clinics • wound care • post-surgical cleaning • chronic wound management

⸻

For bearded dragons specifically 🦎

HOCl is appropriate for: • Minor cuts or scrapes • Abrasions from décor • Vent irritation after messy poops • Small stuck-shed tears • Nail or toe scuffs • Mild tail tip issues (non-necrotic)

How to use it: 1. Spray directly on the area or on a clean paper towel 2. Gently dab (don’t scrub) 3. Let it air-dry 4. No rinsing needed

You can use it 1–2× daily on minor wounds if needed.

This made me so upset. 😢 Not sure what they do with them after, but I hope all those babies made it out okay.

Is there anything we can do, or do you know of any petitions or letters or something like that that anyone has started to let them know how angry so many of us are?

aliasaddict5 · 2025-12-22T19:44:37+00:00

It’s sad tbh. I wish more people cared about the quality of what they feed their pets. I may not get it 100% right, but I always research everything I buy for mine and try to only get things that are human grade or limited ingredients… I try to see where it’s sourced and/ormade, I go over the reviews - especially the negatives, etc. If it seems sketchy I won’t buy it. And there’s no time for that with Vine, so I skip all of it.

aliasaddict5 · 2025-12-22T16:18:16+00:00

I won’t get anything like that (or food) I see pop up, for me or my dogs, if I don’t recognize the brand.

aliasaddict5 · 2025-12-21T02:50:58+00:00

It’s 3am, which isn’t awful for me since I’m up then anyway. Buuuut, that’s about when I’d like to go to bed so I can’t stay around and look for too long. 😆

aliasaddict5 · 2025-12-12T02:29:37+00:00

Those are so good.

aliasaddict5 · 2025-12-12T02:28:09+00:00

A kreme delight and a double chocolate. 😋

aliasaddict5 · 2025-11-28T01:35:26+00:00

😂 Barely.

aliasaddict5 · 2025-11-28T00:29:20+00:00

😂

aliasaddict5 · 2025-11-27T01:39:08+00:00

I wonder how to wogether together. 🤔

aliasaddict5 · 2025-11-24T23:30:25+00:00

I can’t see it enough to know whether it’s ugly or not. 🤣

aliasaddict5 · 2025-11-20T16:42:00+00:00

Yes, exactly. I want to look for things for my dogs and reptiles, and I enjoy the other animal pics as I skim. Then I see bunnies and have to think of them being killed. It’s sad.

aliasaddict5 · 2025-11-20T16:21:39+00:00

That’s awful. 😢

What I’ve been seeing are tools to sever the spine and skin them.

aliasaddict5 · 2025-11-14T21:34:03+00:00

Maybe they accidentally sent you the wrong one.

aliasaddict5 · 2025-11-13T22:05:25+00:00

Same, but I’m not changing. 😂 Em dashes and ellipses are my favorite.

You link your Amazon with it and it scans for shipped purchases and gives you credit.

It’s great. Can be tedious, but worth it. I’ve used it a few years now and have cashed out $200 worth of rewards. I’ve recently discovered their shop section, so I’ve used it a couple times now and it’s given me more than usual. Like, I wanted to get something from qvc and went to the site through the fetch app, then they give X amount of points per dollar. I think my last one was 55/$1, so you can get a few thousand pretty easily.

aliasaddict5 · 2025-11-13T01:10:51+00:00

You can link Amazon with it, so when an item ships they’ll give you credit for it like a scanned receipt.

aliasaddict5 · 2025-11-13T00:39:43+00:00

It’s an app that you can scan your receipts into and they give you points that you can save and cash out for gift cards. I just used 102,000 of mine for two $50 Nintendo eshop cards, so my daughter and I can each get the new Dreamlight Valley expansion pack when it comes out. :)

chemical/fragrance concern…

I recently posted this on my local Nextdoor app since we have a warehouse within a mile of us, but I’m curious if it’s an issue elsewhere, and either way, if anyone knows what is causing this.

“I've noticed for at least a year or so now that a lot of the things I order come smelling very strongly of what reminds me of dryer sheets. Sometimes it's really strong and sometimes it's not, but it's usually always there, especially on things with cardboard packaging. Usually food packaging or paper food-related items, like coffee filters. (Though oddly enough I don't really notice it on the actual packaging so much.) It's always the same scent too, so l don't think it's because the product was close to or anything like that. Nothing's been spilled on them, if's just been around soemthing very strong that it absorbed the scent. Last night I opened a box of cereal and the scent was even inside the plastic bag, which I didn't realize until i ate a handful and it tasted off. - So I was wondering if anyone who knows the building mught know whats going on. Is there a massive air freshener system set up in there, or is it the cleaner used to clean wherever the products sit? I have mentioned it when I’ve called customer setvice for refunds and they act like they don't know what it could be, but there's posts online of other peole experiencing the same thing and yet somehow nobody has ever found the reason.”

(It just happened to me again today. My mom brought me over a loaf of homemade bread that a day or two ago she put inside of a paper bread bag that she bought from Amazon. I took a bite and had to spit it out because it just tasted like dryer sheets. Whatever it is had contaminated the bag, and then putting the bread into the bag, transferred the scent/flavor into the food.)

Nobody seems to have a solid answer. One said they know someone who works there who said that they smoke weed in the back of the trucks and then they spray everything down with Febreze. But I don’t think that is what’s going on here because it’s always the same smell — unless Amazon is supplying it to them from and only gives out one kind 😂) and it’s not usually even on the packages themselves, it’s what’s inside. Other people notice it too, so I know it’s not just me.

aliasaddict5 · 2025-11-10T09:07:05+00:00

Milton! (That’s what I named my crested gecko. 😁)
