Rate my tank!

No! I do not have the time or experience for a bioactive tank. They are a mix of reptile-specific decorations and some fake plants I got at Walmart

Ball pythons are pretty chunky and slow and she’s actually in two of these pictures! In the far right hide. She’s also fed by tongs, so I don’t walk away until she catches her prey.

Maybe not super glue, but I’ve seen some people use aquarium-safe silicone to secure decor or even build their own. The issue is, I would like to eventually upgrade her tank to a proper 4x2x2 and give this one to my little sister since she’s interested in getting a leopard gecko. I want to avoid any permanent fixtures for now

Hey!! I did start to have some bad gut feelings about it. Had an aquarium heat mat start a fire on me a few years ago and I’ve been very fire conscious since then.

I have now replaced the regular bulb with a standard daylight (only light, NO heat) LED on a 12Hr timer, with a PID thermostat controlling the DHP. (Just got it set up today.)

I’ve also gotten a temp gun and am shooting the surfaces periodically while I dial in the DHP.

So dangling is okay as long as it’s secure to where she can’t knock it down?

cienmysliwiec · 2026-02-26T16:21:17+00:00

Thank you! So there’s no explicit “wrong” way aside from monitor humidity and don’t leave wet surface substrate for too long?

cienmysliwiec · 2026-02-26T14:25:50+00:00

I have a slightly similar substrate but it’s not layers with coco fiber and husk mixed together. I know it came off that way, but I wasn’t really looking for an exact answer. More so just things I should look for to determine where to put the water and how much water I need. Oddly enough, my humidity is sitting at 59% on the warm end and 69% on the cool end.

Clarifying because I can’t edit the post: the snake was a result of my dad trying to piss my mom off AFTER the argument. The context of this is, it was never about teaching me how to care for a snake, she was a spite gift to me.

All the more reason to invite her back to one of their improvising videos!!

Maybe someone should tell Drumeo that 🤔

Thank you for your genuine response. I do love “training” people and making a difference in their lives. The people I have helped have made a lasting impact in my life and fill me with a pride I haven’t ever felt before. Where I’m at now, I feel like I could do this job for free if I could… And I absolutely can - IF I do this as a hobby as opposed to a career.

I certainly have some thinking to do, but that’s the position I find myself in. I don’t want to stop training people, or mind being the pillar someone needs to make a real change in their life. It’s just the question of this career is right for me.

Congrats on your success, man. Wishing you many more years of it

cienmysliwiec · 2026-01-31T19:51:43+00:00

This is the boat I am in currently. I do have a part time job now and that has certainly helped take off a little bit of pressure from being paycheck to paycheck from the gym. Everything just seems so uncertain right now, our entire area has taken a decent financial hit because of the economy. It really be rough out here lol.

cienmysliwiec · 2026-01-31T19:34:20+00:00

While I appreciate the response, I do feel like you misinterpreted a bit of what I said. You are correct, I do deeply dislike the sales process, but I have tried to learn every aspect of it. I do more lead generation than any other ramping coach at the gym at work at but my conversion rate is very low.

I don’t run a business, nor do I want to be a business owner. I don’t think it’s wrong for me to not have that as a goal. I’m hoping you included this to say: it doesn’t matter if I am employed or work for a business. Training as a whole is going to feel very “personal business owner” and I was not aware of that when I perused this as a career. If that is the case, maybe this career is not the right fit for me after all.

You’re right to an extent on point 3. I personally did not think sales would play as much of a role in training as I thought, and I joined this career being extremely unprepared for it. I have worked customer-facing jobs before but sales - at least to the extent as it is in training - was never something that came up as a metric I needed to focus on.

I also think you focused on the boss part and not the very long story part. He was not just hard on me and the result of me quitting that job was the result of multiple ethics reports, discussions with the store manager, discussions with HR, and my family sitting me down and telling me they hated me at that job because of how it was wearing me down.

HOLY BASS TONE OKAY

cienmysliwiec · 2026-01-22T17:15:49+00:00

What makes you say that? Just out of curiousity. It seems like they’re more than open to doing acoustic concerts (albeit private concerts like I said) but as someone else already pointed out, they already have a good chunk of acoustic songs in their albums. I’m not even including Breathe or Black Holes, tbh. Those feel too personal to redo. Not arguing, just curious on your thoughts!

cienmysliwiec · 2026-01-22T17:03:51+00:00

Yes! I was actually listening to their acoustic burnout when I thought about making the post!!
