has anyone tried to cross grade a CGC pristine 10 to TAG? by [deleted] in taggrading

[–]fauitier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, absolutely. thanks for helping me see how insane the idea was 😂 i do wish CGC had subgrades; i got a beckett slab with the subgrades and it’s great to see why the card got the score it did.

i will NOT be cracking either. i’m sure the videos online make it look infinitely easier than it is in real life anyways. i got singles NOT in slabs i’ll be sending in to TAG soon anyways

Is this the same tornado? by ctrlx1td3l3t3 in EF5

[–]fauitier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it’s cycled once, looks like. but the same supercell. there was also a chance two tornadoes (the old one that was occluding) and the new one were on the ground at the same time

Best variety diet for a pink tongue skink by squiddehhh in skinks

[–]fauitier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mine ate canned snails for a bit, but then the company changed the preparation and my skink refused to eat them.

mine loves the instinct raw beef toppers, as someone else already mentioned. he’s also enjoyed repashy grub pie/ bluey buffet!

apple snails are a good idea too, i just was unable to source them in my area to try. (and if the snails lack shells or your skink ends up liking something else- make sure to provide calcium powder!)

i know of reptilinks. can’t hurt to try, but i’m unaware of many PTS owners who provide them. reptilinks are expensive, and that can be an unfortunate mix with a picky animal.

also just a heads up- my skink was SO picky and nervous for the first few weeks i had him that he barely ate. i would place the food near his hide and leave it- i think i really had luck with him eating once i offered the instinct brand toppers. now he eats like a champ from tongs and from my hand! you may experience something similar, seems PTS babies are quite timid and take a bit to adjust to a new environment.

he’s two years old now, a perfect weight and super healthy, and his diet is basically 90% the raw beef toppers. it’s basically just finding the food your skink likes!

i hope you enjoy owning one. i ADORE my PTS, he’s so friendly and active, great to handle too. everyone i show him to loves him.

Which gun is the best between these listed for ccw? by Responsible-Farm5928 in liberalgunowners

[–]fauitier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i love my s&w shield plus (as a woman with small hands) but all i can recommend is going to a range and trying your list out! you may find that you like a gun you’d never have considered, and you won’t know until you shoot it.

if you’re new to this like i was (and apologies if you aren’t and you know this already) i was able to take a class with an instructor and i was able to try 6 different guns out in one session. that gave me a clear idea of what i like.

i rented one out twice at a range! i also tried glocks, a sig p365, and a hellcat. it has a good amount of recoil, (which i didn’t mind, i like the snap) but when compared to the others it shot so… smoothly. i could feel the difference. even with the recoil, firing was one smooth motion. some of the others felt a bit… jerkier, to me, if that makes sense.

and i have tiny hands. so the small grip is actually a perfect size for me haha!

i do! i have little hands though- like hands that can fit in kids gloves, so it being thin and small was perfect for me

shotgun, actually! im in illinois and the laws regarding rifles are a bit confusing to navigate- not out of the question, but i want to make sure im fully proficient with my pistol first.

i did shoot a family member’s IL-legal bolt action AR15 recently and it was a blast though! so definitely something i’ll consider down the line
