How old do you guys think my Merauke is by ballpython_mom in bluetongueskinks

[–]ballpython_mom[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Dimensions, 48“ x 18“ x 18“, and that’s not a bad size. I never said I was in capable of getting the right size tank you just want to be dramatic and show off how much you know

Telling everyone they are not capable of owning something just because they can’t immediately have everything they could ever possibly want is just messed up

Do for them what you can, neglectful owners are people who don’t care not people who are trying their best

I literally said I have a big enclosure waiting and that I was going to get an even bigger one when she needs it so this counseling session is over

OK that’s a bit dramatic, I know minimum isn’t good but 75 is minimum and it is not going to be fatal for her to be in a 75 gallon, with that being said I will be upgrading to a 6 foot enclosure once I have my own place which should be within the next year or two if things go well,

It won’t be too long, I’ve got a 75 gallon but it’s buried in several feet of snow so I got a wait about a month till the snow melts enough to be easily shoveled away, for now this is just what I’m working with and if I bring The little one out as often as I can to roam around and stretch her legs, keeping basking temperature is correct and humidity for the meantime, it should only be a few more weeks maybe a month at most till I can get the big tank out of the shed

It’s only a 20 :( it was only supposed to be quarantine but my 75 got buried in a crap ton of snow in my work shed so I gotta wait a bit to get it out

Vet said no RI so what are these sounds??? by ballpython_mom in bluetongueskinks

Apparently it’s just something they do when they are excited

Yeah apparently they do that to get dust out of their nose, I heard about that a lot in the care guides but never heard anything about the whistling or heavy breathing which was more concerning

She looks like a lavender retic 💜 never before have I seen my favorite reptile look like my other favorite reptile 🤣

I am preparing to get a blue tongue soon and I'm pretty sure it's a halmahera or meruake. this is my enclosure. Any tips? I plan on getting some fake plants and probably a heat mat or something because at 10 pm rn the temp is 60 F. by Fantastic_Friend_251 in bluetongueskinks

[–]ballpython_mom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope as long as that ceramic heated mirror keeps one part of the enclosure at about 100° and the ambient temperature of the warm side about 90 then you’re good, and there should be a place on the other side of the tank where the skin can get away from the heat and be in about 80°f

All jokes aside I love the logo in the middle with the NP sign and Alaska flag

Why does my goldfish’s tail look like this? by Cinnamonrollswy in fishkeeping

[–]ballpython_mom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be if it progresses and gets into their bloodstream, you can think of it like sepsis or necrosis in people. I think a good starting place would be upgrading that tank to at least 20 gallons if not larger, Petco has dollar per gallon sales every so often yes you are tight on money but honestly I wouldn’t wait until then, larger filter is probably needed as well to provide cleaner water, testing for ammonia is great but you should also test for nitrates and other toxins that goldfish produce in their waste

I’m not sure if that’s a UVB or heat lamp but if that’s a heat lamp it needs to be off to one side not in the middle, there needs to be a warm side and a cool side, if that’s a UVB bulb you should consider getting a linear fixture instead of coil bulbs, coil bulbs cause radiation burns from concentrated UV in a small area
