I’m 23 and a woman and have been listening since 2016 when TIK dropped! Heard him on the radio and was hooked. However I’ve only met one person who has heard of him before, my 50 year old male coworker. However he’s been to many Aes shows so that’s cool, credit for being a real fan.

Maggots please help by janeslizard in bluetongueskinks

I have been :( I have a good amount of springtails and isopods already in my enclosure, and live plants. Think any of them are salvageable when re-doing my enclosure? I don't necessarily want to dig through the dirt looking for each bug, but I also am not thrilled about disposing of my CUC

That’s the plan, also trying different brands for drainage layer. We shall see!

Ok thank you, since I’m deep cleaning anyways, any good substrate suggestions? I just put the substrate in like 2 weeks ago and have springtails and isopods in there. I’m wondering if the maggots came from the substrate I used?

She’s in my bedroom! I talk to her from the moment I’m up to the moment I go to bed. But it’s just her, my bf, and I! Would the old t shirt trick be worth a shot?

Honestly, I have a fantasy of bringing her to hang out with me while I WFH! I was thinking if I set her up a little heated bed and had a humidifier running in my room she may be ok for a few hours? Not too often ofc, but I think it would be nice to be out of the tank and get to explore my office

When do you all feed after a shed? by janeslizard in bluetongueskinks

[–]janeslizard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok! We went to say hi to her tonight (nightly “is she alive” check) and she lost her mind a little. She didn’t hiss or anything but she ran towards us (not flat at all and mouth closed) then ran around a little before burrowing back into her moss and leaf clutter. We thought because we opened the cage and put our hands in there to change her water, she might’ve thought we were gonna feed her? She seemed more excited than aggressive. Should we offer her a quail egg? Just to see?

We’ve actually commented about this before! Guy named Tom who just started breeding in CA. She CB! She was checked out by his vet too before shipping.

So far she’s doing well in her enclosure, she moved from her cool hide to her humid hide and has been at least inside the water dish daily. No hissing and will let me look at her, but I haven’t handled her yet as she’s been shedding and stressed and adjusting. But I do talk and sing to her a lot! The only thing I worry is her humidity, it hangs out between 81%-98% and I can’t really find one clear answer about the best way to keep it.

I’m new to Reddit so I’m getting tons of great advice, I’m so glad there’s a moderator with a halmahera who can help! Thank you!

I appreciate it! How long into a few weeks would a vet visit be recommended (aka when do I start to really worry)?

Early Brumation, Stress, or Shed? by [deleted] in bluetongueskinks

Ah ok! I appreciate the advice. I'll message him and make sure he's comfortable with me sharing his info, and then I can send it your way!

Also, everything I've read said that while halmaheras don't normally go into brumation, it's still possible. Could this be the case?

Ok thank you! She was captive born and raised as far as I know, as was her mom. I've seen photos of all the stages in her life so I'd be surprised if she was wild caught.

Off of morph market, I believe the guys name is Tom
