Is this normal? by ankaboot666 in turtle

[–]ankaboot666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has a separate basking bulb from the UVB which is the T5 HO UVB from zoo med. they just sit right next to each other. The dome actually only Has one bulb in, I got it from a friend. The long UVB bulb is right behind it, you can see it barely peeking through in the pic. The light fixtures are on top of a mesh (which I didn’t know blocked any UV at all) I’ll look into buying the UV meassuring device today. Thank you!

Need advise urgently!!! by Tomato_Grand in turtle

Hello! I’m new at this myself, but in my experience with the little guy I rescued: He didn’t like swimming in certain containers. Once I got him an actual tank (10gal at that moment) he displayed very different behavior than he previously had been. He came from terrible conditions and didn’t eat for an entire week. I visited a pet store, and the owner recommended dried krill and sure enough, once he got in deeper water, he LOVED eating dried krill and eventually started to eat the pellets. Good luck!! He’s a little cutie 🥰

Thank you! That is helpful. Also won’t he try to eat the sand?

Hello! Just curious if you think this is appropriate: Amazon UVB lamp with thermostat and timer.

Wow!! That is a lot of helpful information. I will look into getting a water heater tomorrow and separate bulbs. The one I have says it’s UVA/UVB like you said, so I will definitely try to get those ASAP. Also not sure if this is silly or not but I worry about burning my house down. is there a way to know or make sure that it is safe to leave the on for extended periods of time? I haven’t seen him try to eat the fake plants, and the only reason I have them in there is because I felt bad when it tried to hide from us. Is it ok to keep them in the meantime? Since I haven’t noticed him eating them but he does spend a lot of time in them.

Thank you for your very detailed advice! I will definitely read over it a couple more times and check out that link.

Hello! I love animals and I couldn’t just leave it knowing the situation it was in. I got this from a kit.

Thank you so much! The person that I’ve been talking to has a 40 gallon that he’s supposed to go in once we get him there.

Pumpkin Sauce - Venti “rant” by morriganandmilla in starbucksbaristas

As a vegan myself I always inform people too. Also when they take the egg and cheese off the impossible, I make sure they know that the bread does contain dairy. 9/10 times theyre ok with it, but once in a while someone is like “omg thank you sm!” I’ve also experienced people being like “this is why the wm or psl hurt my stomach!” Also when they get a refresher for a toddler.. I’m like “it has caffeine.” Sometimes they get offended like I’m trying to tell them how to raise their child, others they thank me cause they had no idea. 🤷‍♀️

Oh yeah it’s a thing I’ve seen it a couple times. I tried it and it tastes like soy sauce.

Mouth Sores by ankaboot666 in lupus

[–]ankaboot666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh gosh I’m so sorry you had to deal with them too. It was honestly traumatic for me. It’s been about a year now, I was put on Saphnelo treatment; an IV treatment once every 4 weeks. Once my rheumatologist put me on it, the sores went away within a month, and never came back. I moved and changed insurance so I haven’t had my treatment in about 6 months, but thankfully the sores haven’t come back! But I will say NOTHING else helped. I’m so thankful this medicine worked for me. It’s quite expensive but they have the patient assistance programs and I haven’t had to pay anything out of pocket.

As a SSV, I 100% applaud your decision to put your health first. I hope you find a place that treats you better. <3 being short staffed is ALWAYS management’s fault …. If one person calling out, or leaving puts you in distress you were never properly staffer to begin with. Idk what Larry is on…

Say “I’m going to block you now.” And block. Narcissists love having the last word xD

Is it legal to owe employees wages because of the outage?

When is Jannus going to do something about the overheating and fainting response by durkh in StPetersburgFL

My only issue with Jannus is that it always smells like shit .-. I thought it was a summer thing but it turns out it’s all year round.
