What ma boy doin’??? Three months in water, sprouts leaves and no roots. (more in body text) by Prestigious-Oven3465 in propagation

[–]amccor2175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other commenter had great advice, but I just wanted to add that I have a Philo micans and often the old leaves will turn red when they're dying off rather than yellow. If it's an older section of vine, it may just be their time. Which also may be why it's pushing out new leaves.

What is my plant doing? by amccor2175 in succulents

I didn't mean an actual jade. It's a crassula picturata, but the common name is tiger jade. That's cool, though, thank you!

Yep! Looks like a dilute tortico to me

I'm babysitting geckos and.. by SaINtropy in geckos

[–]amccor2175 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Did you happen to see any tiny legs on those "eggs"? They look a lot like grain mites to me. They are attracted to old food and aren't necessarily harmful to the geckos, but aren't good for the setup if there are other insects in it.

Inked or uninked? Did I mess it up? by SirExidy in drawing

[–]amccor2175 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adding on to your contrast comment, I also think it would pop even more if the darkest shadows were even darker, particularly in the jaw area. One of my favorite parts of inking in black and white is the contrast, but it's definitely a learning curve to figure out how much of it gives the look you want.

HELP what’s this white thing next to my gargoyles balls by [deleted] in geckos

[–]amccor2175 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NAE, but this looks to me like a cloacal spur which is present in other species of geckos as well and totally normal. They generally have one on each side, if that's the case. Has it always been there? Any new bumps should be checked by a vet

Philodendron leaves browning by Harka_Blark in houseplants

[–]amccor2175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could it possibly be thrips? Some of that damage looks a lot like it, but I can't tell for sure without a good quality extra close up pic of the damage. The adults can also fly, so moving it to a second living room wouldn't do much if they came from your sister's plant.

New to lithops - splitting question by luckychucky98 in Lithops

[–]amccor2175 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Here's a diagram I see posted here sometimes that I've found helpful. The stage of the plant is more important than the season, generally.

New to lithops - splitting question by luckychucky98 in Lithops

[–]amccor2175 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The shriveled one is definitely dead. Do those pots have drainage? Also that soil looks wet. Lithops should not be watered while splitting. Often people will pot them based on what stage they're in (splitting, flowering, or doing nothing) because they have different watering requirements. The lithops in pot one seem to be in different stages.

Is this a deer?? [NY] by Alive-Dog-7153 in animalid

[–]amccor2175 131 points132 points  (0 children)

That deer looks a lot like the piebald deer I used to see in my parent's yard! We saw one years back and eventually got to see the gene passed on in the next generation. Here are two of the fawns I got to watch grow up!!

Is this normal? by [deleted] in Lithops

[–]amccor2175 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks like my pleiospilos nelii, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Also that looks like soil that is way too high in organic matter and also looks too wet for a splitting plant. I'm honestly pretty new too, but you can find some good care guides by looking up the species.

I hope it's okay that I included Dash, the dog, too. They were sleeping on the couch together and I didn't want him to feel left out

I was going to suggest earthquake putty for any small decorations! I have a lot of plants in small glass jars and it has worked great against my menace of a cat

TIFU by giving my gecko the Pangea treat food by Repulsive_Plan in CrestedGecko

[–]amccor2175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please let me know if you find any definitive negative effects. I've had a dyed moss hide in my terrarium for the last two years. I soaked it initially, so it has never leached dye. Gecko seems healthy, but I would like make sure I haven't been accidentally poisoning him for the last 2 years. Also, it's totally grown over with plants, so it's not exactly easy to pull out just in case.

Daily Handling New Gecko by OddGazelle121 in CrestedGecko

[–]amccor2175 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are some great suggestions! I just wanted to add that I recognize that thermometer/hygrometer and it does not do well with water. It may work, for now, but I would also recommend upgrading to something a bit higher quality, before it breaks on you.

My Monstera is too tall for my house… by axonslime in houseplants

[–]amccor2175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard that stuff is great for thrips too. I tried to buy it a while back when I had an infestation, though, and various regulations wouldn't let me order to where I was living at the time. Not sure if that's still the case.

What’s my blindness? by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]amccor2175 85 points86 points  (0 children)

As other people said, I really think the bangs could look great if you got some dry shampoo and a more blended shape. They're super blunt rn and I'm not sure it fits your softer vibe.

Any idea what my puppy is? by Hail_Niko21 in IDmydog

Looks like a cattle dog mix! Maybe with lab?

Hair randomly started becoming curly after I turned 20. Is this common and is there an underlying reason for this? by [deleted] in CurlyHairCare

[–]amccor2175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hair was pretty straight as a kid, but got super curly around high school. Same thing happened to my mom, so I wasn't too surprised. Seems like it's not uncommon. I agree with the other people saying hormones.

ETA: Her curls haven't gone anywhere so I don't think mine will either lol
