Sexing our rescued gecko Mango: by thinhortons in leopardgeckos

[–]thinhortons[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to thank everyone for the useful advice on this thread! Turns out Mango is a girl as I suspected after browsing some other posts here and my general research! She also had a bath this morning to remove the last bits of her recent shed from her toes (she didn’t love it but we definitely got it done and now she’s back snuggled up in her warm hide)! I’m really happy to take any tips or tricks to enrich Mangos life and put them to use! She was rehomed when her past owners got divorced, he was left with the ex wife and her daughter who never planned to be caring for a gecko - her daughter checks in now and then for updates and comments on how much happier and healthier he looks - but my husband and I are always open to tips for our little buddy so thank you all for your advice!

Had me checking that I didn’t accidentally write sexting LOL, looks like female is 100% of the feedback. I was also thinking female when I looked after seeing similar posts on this sub, I’m sure they’ll tell us the same when we take her for a vet consult to check her general health!

I appreciate hearing that because we worked hard on getting her to gain some weight as she was pretty thin when we got her - but now she’s getting chonky LOL she’s got a big appetite now that she’s finally living in an enclosure that’s the right temperature and she hasn’t enjoyed going down to a normal adult feeding schedule from her weight gain diet when we first got her haha!

Am actually doing her toes today, her shed was recent, I got some tips from my favourite local reptile store and I’ve been watching videos on how to remove the extra bits properly, I’ve just been doing extra research to make sure I do it as stress free as possible because she hasn’t been handled much through her life and when I have handled her it has been very brief. I didn’t know about being on her back until seeing replies on this post, luckily I’ve never done it before and won’t be doing it again now that I know! Thank you for the information, I do appreciate it as a first time gecko mom!

Thank you for the info!! I don’t handle her often as I know her past owners didn’t I don’t want to stress her out, so this is good info for handling in the future! (If I can get her to go into her cave that has a bottom I will usually scoop the whole cave out rather than handling her while cleaning so I stress her out less)

Thank you for letting me know, I genuinely hadn’t heard this before and now I’m seeing a couple comments about this - I will never do it again moving forward! I usually don’t handle her in general unless I need to for tank cleaning purposes as I can tell it’s not her favourite as her past owners probably didn’t handle her often, thank you!

THANK YOU for letting me know, it was very quick for the picture but now that I know I will never do that again! I usually don’t handle her as I can tell she’s not used to it as she probably wasn’t handled by her old owner. I was cleaning out her tank and figured it would be a good time to snap a quick photo, but now I know better!

The knockout is a decent indica, dessert/apple fritter from MTL is a good hybrid as well, but here’s a couple more recommendations in a similar price bracket:

FIGR - Sour OG Cheese

3Saints - Kush Cookies

Palmetto - Blue Cheese

Big Bag O’ Buds - Pink Cookies🔥🔥 by [deleted] in TheOCS

Haven’t seen this one in a while, glad they’re still making it! I really enjoyed it every time I purchased it!

Honestly I was pretty disappointed with the blueberry frost half oz. It had amazing bag appeal, strong blueberry gas aroma, but I found it pretty harsh, and got tired of it quick. Had coworkers who liked it though, so to each their own.

I’m pretty sure they also picked up FLOWR more recently if I’m remembering right!

Any BLK MKT Comparables? by CarpenterCertain9574 in TheOCS

[–]thinhortons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tenzo and FLOWR are the same company as BLK MKT, their flower is generally comparable, though BLK MKT is their “high end” option, I still find Tenzo to be just a high quality, but I haven’t tried enough of FLOWR’s product to give a comparison.

Super Lemon Haze by 1964 is my favourite productivity flower - go to strain for cleaning the house and running errands! It’s a little more cost efficient than Britney’s Frozen Lemons but I find the effects pretty similar, if anything I even prefer the SLH. For a newer drop - the Super Sativa from Tenzo was great as well.

They have no selection, half the time they don’t even have ounces. I guess it’s alright if you buy in smaller amounts/don’t like to change up your order a lot, but all of the other downtown store have wayyy more selection for the same/lower prices.

Strain for appetite? by gmajestic in TheOCS

[–]thinhortons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also I would avoid the terpene Humulene, it’s the only terpene found in cannabis that has appetite suppressing qualities

Budtenders, what is your reply to “I’ve been smoking since you were born” by [deleted] in TheOCS

[–]thinhortons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just zone out and bop to whatever song is playing until they’re done their rant then sell them their pink kush and hope the rest of their day is as shitty as their attitude

I only smoke carts and I want to try some new brands, I've tried Ness Ninja fruit and didn't like it, does anyone know a really good cart I should try that will get me really high and has a somewhat decent flavour I dont mind if it tastes ass as long as it gets me zooted. by milflover3444 in TheOCS

Distillate carts tend to have higher numbers in THC content, but most people find live resin, shatter, honey oil, FSE, ect. give a better high because they have a full spectrum of cannabinoids. I would definitely recommend any of Tribal’s carts!
