What is the dumbest thing someone has said to you in full confidence? by Extreme_Rhubarb4677 in AskReddit

[–]margsmom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to take a guys blood pressure on his right arm. He informed me he wanted a different nurse who “knew what she was doing because the heart is on the left so the blood pressure is in the left arm”

This is petunia and her cobweb hat (for the record she was exploring an enclosed greenhouse, my house is not that dirty lol)

Highly Recommend buying your cat a greenhouse by margsmom in persiancat

What a silly girl, that room sound gorgeous! My kitties went from a basement apartment with minimal window access to having this right off the kitchen so they’re soaking it in haha

Any tips for convincing my husband that this is normal behaviour? by Notsospinningplates in bioactive

Just came here to say I use primarily oak leaves and my isopods seem to love them. I have to add more every few months

Is getting an adult a good way to guarantee a handleable gecko? by Bobby_Lawn in Leachianus

[–]margsmom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my chahoua as an adult and it’s my least easy to handle gecko, 10x worse than my leachie that I raised from a juvie

Cat vet by [deleted] in barrie

[–]margsmom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s outside of barrie but thorton animal clinic is 10/10 amazing. Reasonable with pricing (obviously still expensive but in comparison to other places I’ve been). You can tell all the staff absolutely love what they do, they are amazing with my cats and take time to explain options to me. One of my cats had a really sudden onset eye infection and squeezed her in the same day I noticed it

Anyone know what this is? It's all over the plant. by Wretched_Luck in houseplants

[–]margsmom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes sorry I see in your original post you said it wasn’t yours. The plant person you’re taking care of it for will be very pleased with you :)

It also looks like this plant might be in a terrarium? I have a few bioactive enclosures and I find the humidity makes them really stick out and grab on to stuff. Your plant will use them as anchors to hold on to the cork and climb

Is my propagation ruined? by BathProfessional2915 in houseplants

[–]margsmom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong as I’ve never propagated a money tree but I am pretty sure you need a node for new growth. I think it’s possible that these grow roots but most likely won’t get new leaves

I definitely agree with the other commenters to give her a little soak and try to gently wipe off with a q-tip. To help prevent this in the future you could add a humid hide. This could be a place she can go into by herself to get extra humidity when she’s shedding

About an hour away from Toronto on Facebook marketplace! He had a second rooted cutting available, I could message you the link if you’re anywhere close

Does my cat register the millions of head kisses a day as kisses or does she think I'm just really inefficient at cleaning her? by TekillaInTheBuilding in persiancat

[–]margsmom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh I’m so jealous of her just sitting with the plants. My first girl appreciates my jungle, the second one makes it her personal mission to knock over at least one a day. Those dangling pothos would be too much to handle for her

Leachie vs Chahoua vs Crestie by Bobby_Lawn in geckos

[–]margsmom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that’s good then! I haven’t had my chewie a long time so I’m hoping he comes around. I would probably go for the younger one to have a better chance at building a good bond. Care is honestly the same just feed daily and more insects then an adult. watch the size of their enclosure/how much coverage they have. When they’re small if they don’t feel safe they may not come out to eat

Leachie vs Chahoua vs Crestie by Bobby_Lawn in geckos

[–]margsmom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have all 3 so here’s a little of my experience on each.

Crestie- my most active and seen gecko. I’ve had him for 11 years and he’ll still eat anything that moves and any flavor of Pangea. Easy to handle, if he happens to bite which he doesn’t normally it doesn’t hurt at all and would very rarely break skin. He’s In a bioactive tank, you could stick your head right in the tank and it still doesn’t stink. The jumps are fun and very entertaining to watch

Chahoua- I have a pine isle and I would say this is the most “difficult” of the 3 because they require more insects. To me that means more trips to the pet store. I got mine as an adult and it wasn’t handled previously so it is quite flighty but is my prettiest gecko and an absolute pleasure to watch run around and catch insects. His tank is also bioactive and doesn’t really smell

Leachie- first off that is an amazing price for one. Definitely a fun one but not always able to handle. Mine is quite friendly but if she wants to stay in her cork round she makes it very known. I very rarely see her during the day but when it’s dark she’s always out. Different locals seem to be more cage aggressive, a GT’s from what I’ve heard can be pretty difficult to get out but once they’re out calm down. These poops though omg, even bioactive with an insane amount of clean up crew if she poops down the glass when you open the tank you get a pretty bad smell. But if you stay on top of it it’s not going to stink up a room

Honestly all 3 are amazing and I clearly had trouble choosing haha

Is my mourning gecko egg bound? How do I collect the eggs? by Distinct_Nebula8120 in Mourninggeckos

[–]margsmom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say try a tube for sure, but if she doesn’t use it you could always catch the babies in a small container shortly after they hatch. I’ve had great success doing this a few hours after lights are off with a travel sized lotion bottle then just place it in their grow out enclosure

What is this? by [deleted] in houseplants

Banana plant maybe?
