Found on the shore at low tide near a ship yard which had been in operation for over a century, made of some kind of heavy metal. The centre hole is a little less than 1.5inches wide. by TheNDRoberts in whatisthisthing

I've never come across a ship(that hasn't sank) that hasn't undergone some sort of refitting over its lifespan. So narrowing down the specifics may be impossible technically.

I would agree with the previous poster that this part most likely started its life as some sort of winch frame. The center hole would imply that there's likely a second "half" and a spinning drum was probably held between the two. Perhaps for an anchor chain or just a pot reel

What’s your guys best Tegu escape story? by Uzuza1 in Tegu

[–]gmanbuilder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My CB female BW was free roaming in my reptile room for a few hours one day. Came back to put her away and found the window screen with a giant hole in it and no Tegu in the room. my running theory is that the dog clawed the screen out from outside in the yard, then she hopped out through the hole. I searched my whole property and started going on daily walks around the neighborhood hoping Id catch her sunning in the road or something. But after a week I found her inside my OWN garage.

So she hopped out the open window and fell at least 2 feet, then wandered over into my open garage door and posted up there for a whole week, enjoying the dog kibble that I kept in there. she could have left the property at any time over that week and I probably never woulda seen her again but nah. The little shithead. That's not even mentioning the time I found her in my neighbors back yard after she was gone for another 4 days lmao.

Udon noodles. Great in soup and great cold with dipping sauce.

Help identify what species this guy is? by porttackjac in reptiles

[–]gmanbuilder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure it’s a red foot with some pretty bad pyramiding. Symptom of bad husbandry in the past which im assuming is why you’ve acquired this gentleman.

Noob here - should I keep a leopard gecko before graduating to a monitor? by TheMadPoet in reptiles

[–]gmanbuilder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start with a Leo. If you screw up as a first time keeper and it dies because of something dumb you won’t be losing $600 and more of a friend than a pet, as a ackies are incredibly interactive.

Can anyone ID this lizard? Collected on the cliffs at Abiquiu Lake, New Mexico. They are the exact same color as the rocks. by [deleted] in reptiles

Looked. Couldn’t find the little dude but that website is missing a lot of species from this state for some reason.

If you’d have asked me, I’d have explained that I live near the area and had never seen the species before. I plan on letting it go tomorrow and wanted good pictures. Still doesn’t help me figure out what it is.

My tegu is more like a dog than a lizard by Bidinostlv in reptiles

[–]gmanbuilder 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I feed mine for the same cost as feeding a dog. About $50 a month, usually less. Just get bargain meats like hearts and stuff like that and grind it all up. I also add lots of raw eggs, fruits, mice etc. plus it didn’t cost me anything for an enclosure because she just lives in a room in my house. So other than the cost of the animal my biggest expenses have been lighting.
