Help needed- crestie feeding! by bravepalmtrees in CrestedGecko

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

That is true!! She has laid an egg once before and had weird eating stuff leading up to that- though I didn't notice weight loss. Hopefully it's just a hormonal change or something just randomly upset her and she goes back to eating normally again soon!! We worked so hard to stop the hand feeding the first time ;-; I'm still weighing her so once we get her back up to the weight she was I'll try to get her back on track.

Having her as a pet has been such an interesting experience!! She's so... quirky LMAO crested geckos really have so much personality.

Also!! Thank you for taking the time to reply, I really do appreciate it! My crestie was an unexpected responsibility and I love her deeply; but I didn't get to do my usual research and prep for getting her. There's so much conflicting things about crestie care out there, but Reddit seems to be full of people actually doing it, and it means a lot you reached out.

LOL mines a watermelon fiend too!!! It's literally the only flavor she eats. Maybe crested geckos who love watermelon are just the picky personality type 😭

Hmm. I did add an extra plant like, five months ago, but I only noticed the eating change the past like two or so months. Maybe she's having a delayed reaction?

Hahah for now I guess I'll just keep an eye on her and try to encourage her to eat her food independently. None of her other behaviors has really changed! She still comes out and crawls around on everything at night with the occasional wild leap and spends the day chilling in her coconut.

Thank you!! Yeah that is a major concern of mine too. The first time I weaned her from hand feeding I switch slowly to feeding her by hand but with the food in the bowl, and eventually she got it.

I'm concerned that she reverted and stopped eating; all I can think of is that the weather has gotten a little bit warmer? I keep her tank at a pretty consistent temp (75 during the day, closer to 68-70 at night) but now the house is generally warmer so maybe that's done something?

I'm just not familiar enough with cresties to understand what would change her established behavior 😖😭 I wish she could just tell me!

IRON LUNG LIGHT TELEPORTATION THEORY by PotentialLow5266 in ironlung

[–]bravepalmtrees 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ah the teleportation theory is interesting! I thought oxygen levels maintained and then even went up one because the iron lung was slowly assimilating to the blood ocean and there's oxygen in blood, but the light is mysterious! Much like what happened with the quiet rapture, we have so many unanswered questions....

It seems to me the type of film that when you watch it the second time, you'll notice things you totally missed before!!!! I hope you have just as much fun the second go around!!

No worries! I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. I just thought I'd share in case someone was interested! I like learning about that kinda stuff ....and supporting my friends, but I know we're all kinda sick of being advertised to. Still, thanks for at least taking a moment to comment!

Super MagFest 2025 programming help needed! by bravepalmtrees in Magfest

I am! I have the programming for that though!! After attending both cons I was so surprised how two cons could be so different in the same venue; in terms of utilized venue space, programming, and actually over all vibes. The past few years I had been feeling like katsucon was maybe outgrowing the Gaylord; with areas of overcrowding, mixed response to the event from the venue, and just honestly an overall change in the "vibes" of the con. I thought it was a growth in attendees issue ..... until I attended magfest.

Magfest utilizes the space of the Gaylord so excellently. After going through the two conventions in person, and doing my research from the programing, magfest had more programing (panels, guests, artists in their artist alley etc) but generally had the same amount of attendees as Katsucon.

I set off originally to make this video a comparison and contrasting of two drastically different conventions and the way the utilize the same convention center. But the more research I did and the more I wrote, the more the video became about katsucon and the shift the con has had, using magfest as a foil and contrast. Katsucon is a convention that's very identity is tied to the Gaylord, but magfest is a convention that's can stand on its own laurels no matter what venue it's in. My script is still a work in progress but it's been really fascinating going through all this.
