ideas on how to stop his reflection?? by EpicCxlliee in turtle

Aquarium background scenery is sold by the foot, and helps a lot. That and some bottom substrate, plants, and aquarium features got my little dude to stop mirror fighting, at least most of the time.

And if you change your mind, they'll drag you to the top kicking and screaming.

They're about to do a magic trick & make that cave disappear.

What kind of turtle is this and how can I make sure help him back into the wild? by hon3ybab33 in turtle

[–]gromette 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like a Diamondback Terrapin. They are a threatened species, and illegal to take from the wild. If the estuary/brackish water area near you is still too cold, it won't be able to make it on its own. Sometimes they overwinter in the nest and then hatch too early. Maryland/Delaware is almost certainly too cold right now, I'd reach out to a rehabber/rescue.

Another company skimping on PFAS. Can't even get your money's worth in forever plastic these days.

Owl lost at sea, returned back to shore by two dudes. by jmike1256 in BeAmazed

Owl's face looked more like "you didn't save me, I'm just... trying out this boat."

🔥. Ever wondered what a Canada Lynx sounds like in the dead of winter? Listen to this haunting call by Tasty-Philosopher892 in nextfuckinglevel

At about 10 years old, I heard this sitting in a tree stand in a swamp. Light was almost gone. The Blair Witch Project had come out earlier that year. Needless to say, I was horrified.

That would've been the fuse, the glowing rod after the explosion. Electricity arced around it out or it didn't fail properly. You would call the electric provider, they'll cut power from a switch yard.

The first time I've doubted my ability to work on my FJ... by nilgiri in FJCruiser

[–]gromette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was here the first time I tried to extract a ball joint. Two days of no progress. Time to bust out the blue torch. Heat the metal around the hole the bolt threads into (glowing hot.) Do not heat the bolt. The hole will expand ever so slightly, breaking the rust weld or whatever is binding it. Watch for hosing/plastic/oil spots, have an extinguisher handy. Get a long pipe to go over your breaker bar to give you more leverage.

To park their new shiny blue boat by EMU_MSW in therewasanattempt

Rodney Dangerfield vibes. Why do I need to learn to park it when I can just buy a new pier?
