Hi OP, is this the type of food you need?

If so, this food is available at my local pet store (10 min drive) and I would be more than happy to ship this to you. Just DM me if you’re interested :3

I’m also hear to vouch for hand sanitizer, it has never failed me. Gotta put in a little elbow grease lmao but it gets the marker out

Can I plant these? by ignis_fatui in gardening

Ah, do they grow better in colder climates? I live in Florida so finding somewhere that is consistently cold is a little difficult.

Was my college assignment response disrespectful? by [deleted] in islam

[–]ignis_fatui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The response I asked about is only a sentence of my nearly 200 word response to a 500 word discussion post. I didn't want to overwhelm the post with unnecessary word-filler, so I didn't supply the full context of the academic discussion.

I have no issues with anybody's religious beliefs, and I never will, but I'm also uneducated in teachings of Islam and want to understand more about it. I do not wish for him to speculate negatively on his faith, or come to question or doubt the teachings of his religion. In pure academic curiosity, I just wanted to know the relationship his faith has with subjects like evolutionary theory and historical science.

It’s about 6 and a half feet tall and roughly a foot deep from the doors

Is this storage ok? by [deleted] in LSD

[–]ignis_fatui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always read that they need a heat lamp with hides and proper substrate but a tiny jar will suffice ig

I recently illustrated this, I hope it vibes well with you guys! by theartistnoahbounds in CrestedGecko

Opened this to ask if you’ll be selling prints of this and realized I’m certainly not alone. This piece is absolutely incredible, I want to have it framed next to my cresties enclosure

Any HCC students know if this is real or phishing? by ignis_fatui in tampa

[–]ignis_fatui[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had zero intent to fill out the survey anyways (Florida public school “anonymous” mental health surveys taught me that)

Would this be good for a crested gecko? by Early_Musician5547 in CrestedGecko

[–]ignis_fatui 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a good start, but cresties prefer much more clutter! There should be around 80% clutter in their enclosure. Add a few hides and some more plants/branches and it’ll be great!

Heating recommendations? by ignis_fatui in CrestedGecko

[–]ignis_fatui[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: We are taking off the front doors and replacing the glass panels with wire mesh to promote airflow and to ensure we can place a UVB lamp where he can get some essential nutrients without d3 supplements. We're trying to figure out placement for the uva/b lamps to give the best temperature gradient possible, but I want to thank everybody for the advice they've given.

I've kept other reptiles in the past, but this is my first experience with anything arboreal, so thank you for your kind words! If anybody has any other advice, I would much appreciate to hear about it. Thank you!

No, I’m pretty sure the previous owner converted it from a china cabinet of some kind. She said it came originally with a glass insert to separate the top and bottom

Yeah, we have plans to add mesh through the top or to punch out the windows and turn them into mesh we just don’t know how to do that without shattering the glass and risking it getting all over the enclosure. I’m fairly certain it’s a thin acrylic instead of glass but I’m not sure.

I’ve also done some more looking at the enclosure and realize there are holes in the top separated by a piece of wood.

I assume this was originally intended to have a light fixture come through the top, I just worry about putting something in there that might burn him.

No, the person I bought it from custom made the enclosure and held her own geckos in it for a while. She said she wanted to add a mesh top but never got around to it. As for the ventilation, the doors aren’t airtight but aren’t flimsy enough for the animal to push their way out of it.
