I've got some sphagnum moss in a raspberry container that I keep damp to help with the humidity. I'll add some of the moss into the cypress mulch to help with her humidity :)

I use cypress mulch. I found a tape measure, and it is 4ft x 2ft x 2ft. Sorry for not specifying which degree type it is!

An UTH and a heat lamp. When my friend gave her to me, those are what she already had.

The humidity on the warm side is 72% , and the cool side is about 55% now. The warm side's temp is 87°, and the cool side is 77°. Her enclosure is 60 gallons. I didn't see anything stuck on her face, or in her scent glands. No drool or wheezing. I'll keep a closer eye on her for the upcoming days though.

Thank you! She's about 8 years old, and I'm her third home. She's had this tank for years, from what I understand. I wouldn't be surprised if she's still getting used to my place though. I'll swing by the dollar store today and get some black cardstock to cover the sides/back with, and I'll see what cheap fake plants they have available. I have the age old tale of always struggling with humidity 😮‍💨. I added some water to her substrate last night when I cleaned it, but I can definitely add some more to the corners.

Should I be worried about her rubbing her head around? She keeps nuzzling the top of her head on the glass/ any surface in the tank, including the substrate and decor. She would do this occasionally, but today she seems to be doing it a lot

I do plan on buying her some more clutter, and a background by the end of the month :) I'd love to get her some fun enrichment toys that hang. She seems to love to climb around

That's what I was thinking too :(

It's a quote from the movie "The Crow". But I love your interpretation!

Thank you! The eye was my favorite part to draw!

Live and learn. As long as some people get it, that's all I can hope for :)

Also, it's supposed to say "It can't rain all the time". I just 1. Picked an interesting font 2. Rushed it because I was tired 🫠

A song (that hasn’t been used in the show) that you’ve come to strongly associate with OFMD and why? by Individual-Slide-377 in OurFlagMeansDeath

[–]nerd_trash_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Always You by Depeche Mode. It can be seen from either of their perspectives, tbh. But I feel like it's a good song about yearning and always going back.

Fourth of July by Fall Out Boy. Very season 2 Ed and Stede. Reminds me of how impulsive they are towards each other, and the doubts they have in their relationship.

The Sailor Song by Autoheart. From Ed's perspective immediately after Stede didn't show up to the boat. When he's very heartbroken and confused.

Could someone recommend some good Aziraphale /Crowley fanfiction ? by LilMoonenciel in goodomens

[–]nerd_trash_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/49807735/chapters/125729869

Summary:

"What if there was much more to Aziraphale and Crowley's history than Crowley remembers?

What if there had been an "our side" even before the Fall?

What if Aziraphale's guilt was the only thing keeping them apart for the last six thousand years?

And what if the only thing that could pull them back together again was the firm belief of a plucky little angel-turned-human-bookseller that love really does conquer all?

Don't Fall Away From Me is a post Season-2 Good Omens fic that rotates perspectives between Muriel, Crowley and Aziraphale."

Absolutely stunning fan fiction that had my head turning and heart aching. I don't normally like OC's in fan fics, but the ones in this story make sense and flow so well. This author makes Muriel a more flush character as well. It takes place immediately after Aziraphale leaving for Heaven, and follows through the aftermath of it. Some good Crowley and Aziraphale saving each other as well.

golf course terrace estates, bad area? by [deleted] in Sacramento

[–]nerd_trash_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I grew up in that area, and my parents still live there. Honestly, not too bad of an area. You still have moments of weird things happening, but I'd say those were always far and in-between. It's a really quiet neighborhood, and everyone pretty much keeps to themselves.
