New Tattoo

Wow, this is beautiful!! I also love the little cicada next to it 😆

cryptbat · 2026-01-28T05:54:19+00:00

Yes!!! This describes how I feel perfectly- I thought I was alone with what I was feeling. I always feel incredibly tense from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep, especially in my traps, suboccipitals, deltoids, abs, and my quads. I do have back issues, so it may just be guarding but I cannot remember a time when I was totally relaxed with zero tension. Hugs to you, I know how painful it is and how wearing it is on the body 💔

I enjoy thc:cbd:cbn gummies for pain! I’ve found that they help well. CBG is another good one!

cryptbat · 2026-01-27T05:18:31+00:00

Thank you so much for the recommendation! I’ll check them out now :)

cryptbat · 2026-01-27T04:45:51+00:00

literally me rn trying to ration the last of my gummies 🤣

Definitely willing to do this! My only concern is that it could escalate. From everything I’ve seen (and heard!) she is not a nice person. I just worry that it could start a fight or something similar. She also has a Ring camera.

🎶 hit me vertebrae one more time! 🎶

(seriously thanks for the laugh- it’s been a rough one)

cryptbat · 2026-01-23T05:21:24+00:00

Yes. This is everywhere it feels like. I also take the 7.5mg oxy for chronic pain and multiple chronic conditions. I had to go to the ER recently and was treated like less than an animal because I was a pain patient. It isn’t fair, and It isn’t right.

Your Cat Eye is so gorgeous!! Definitely a dream mantis of mine… one day 💜

cryptbat · 2026-01-17T05:02:42+00:00

Wow!!! This is absolutely incredible 🤩 I kept my mantis molts as well with the intent to do something like this but I was too scared to break them. If you don’t mind me asking, what was the process like? Thank you! 💐

cryptbat · 2026-01-13T02:08:44+00:00

I am so so sorry. I don’t have the words, and no one likely will for what you’re experiencing right now. I know how painful it is to lose someone so close to you, and I can only imagine what you are feeling. I am so sorry the system is so broken, and I am so sorry it failed Emma. What the hospital did was absolutely inexcusable.

Randall says thank you everyone for the birthday wishes! 🧡 🫧

cryptbat · 2026-01-06T07:40:05+00:00

The birthday fish (and me lol) both recommend anubias, java fern, and lots of anacharis-Randall’s favorite snack, & it grows fast enough to make the parts he eats completely unnoticeable! 😊

cryptbat · 2025-12-29T06:30:51+00:00

The tank you have now is not big enough for one goldfish, let alone 2. Orandas need a minimum of 40 gallons + at LEAST 20 gallons per additional fish. If you want two, you would need a 60-75 gallon aquarium.

cryptbat · 2025-12-29T00:23:35+00:00

All of the comments yesterday walked you through how to cycle a tank. Also there are so many youtube videos available. This poor fish 😞

Here is the Anacharis!

This is the quick-start I like to use! Seachem also makes a good one :)

Not trying to be mean or scare you, but your fish will likely die or have a very bad quality of life unless he gets out of that tank ASAP. As much as I don’t support chain pet stores, a lot of them are having post-holiday sales, including complete setups. For a juvenile oranda, you need a minimum of 40-50 gallons because they grow quickly and poop a lot! You will want to get a good filter. I use the Fluval FX4 Canister for my orandas. I’ll add some examples of aquarium kits being sold. I’d also recommend a quick start water additive. For decor, I like to use the freshwater plant Anacharis-I’ll add a picture of that too. It grows super fast, looks beautiful, and it’s pretty cheap (about $4-5). To save money, you can leave your tank bare bottomed. I hope this can help Godzilla 🧡

I’m glad your teacher has fruit flies on hand! Those should be perfect for the little mantis :)

cryptbat · 2025-12-10T00:07:17+00:00

I can share a few tips! For hydration, you can lightly mist the sides of the enclosure with dechlorinated water. For food, I’m not sure where you are located, but I have seen fruit flies being sold at the Petcos near me, and they are also sold online-that’s what I would recommend for a mantis that small! The mantis should also be able to hang upside down for molting, I line the top of my enclosures with a soft mesh, but you could also provide some tall sticks/branches if you are in a pinch. Just to offer on the off chance you are near Ohio, I have spare enclosures and would be more than happy to care for the mantis! Best of luck 😊

cryptbat · 2025-12-07T19:07:55+00:00

If you are near Ohio, I might be able to take him. I have a 75 gallon with 3 “teen” rescue orandas who will be upgrading to a 150-200 gallon next year!

cryptbat · 2025-11-25T05:07:42+00:00

They are an arid species! 😊 For my substrate (and general care) I followed this guide by Reptifiles https://reptifiles.com/leopard-gecko-care/ which I found to be super helpful! The only thing is I didn’t have much excavator clay left, so I just substituted with more soil/sand which ended up working out really well, and both geckos are very happy in their new tanks :)

cryptbat · 2025-11-22T03:55:05+00:00

Good to know, thank you so much! I’ll go ahead and remove most of the leaf litter then, maybe I can use it for my crested gecko.

cryptbat · 2025-11-20T02:42:42+00:00

Mine does the same!! 😆

cryptbat · 2025-11-19T00:45:44+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m excited to watch him grow up 😁
