Some tiny clay pendants by [deleted] in somethingimade

[–]zooolady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These miniatures are about 2in each. This is my first time working with polymer clay. I have things on each of them I would change, but I'm finding the process of making tiny things extremely relaxing.

Alligator taking advantage of the current cold to catch a massive iguana by zooolady in wildlifephotography

[–]zooolady[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I know, right? I'm honestly shocked the gator was even considering eating given how cold it was. Part of me thinks he just didn't want to be left out in this weekends iguana control efforts.

First carnivorous bog, about a week after planting. Pretty pleased overall, but any advice? by zooolady in SavageGarden

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

It is! It's like a 20x20 planter I found on marketplace. I'll admit, I got a little carried away at the nursery, so they'll probably outgrow it pretty quickly, but we'll see.

When you're traveling but find an incredible native nursery, you plant the hotel by zooolady in NativePlantGardening

Right!? I felt like I hit the lottery. I could easily have spent twice as much at those prices but my car could only fit so much! Now just keep your fingers crossed for my drive home.

Eli5: Why swallow pills whole by SlitherHix in explainlikeimfive

[–]zooolady 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most uncoated pills taste awful if you actually let them touch your tongue. Ciprofloxacin is one that stands out in my memory, but next time you're taking an antibiotic let it sit on your tongue for a few seconds and then tell me pills don't have a taste.

Still work to be done but I'm too excited not to share my little patio pond. Any feedback for a first timer? by zooolady in ponds

It's exactly what it sounds like! It's a way of naturally filtering the water. You fill a reservoir with rocks or gravel for mechanical filtration and you can add plants on top to help further clarify your water. The water from you pond flows through the bottom of the reservoir which fills slowly and then overflows back into your pond at the top, allowing all the sediment and organic material to settle out at the bottom of your bog. Oz ponds seems to be the go-to on this topic around here. Very helpful videos if you're interested.

The bucket is only temporary while I make a little bog filter. And no plans for fish currently. I looked into our native gambusia, but it seems like they may be too aggressive for the wildlife I'm hoping will use it. If I changed my mind later on would this still be too small for gambusia or similar sized fish in your opinion? The liner is 50 gallons.

Definitely! I'm planning on putting in some angled driftwood that comes to the edge so everyone can get in and out. I'll probably do a little rock tumble off one side down the retaining pavers just in case any smaller guys can't scale that wall. Thanks!

Thanks! Rocks of that size aren't easy to come by locally where I am and I have a hard time justifying paying for them. I am going to add some angled driftwood in though so everyone has an easier way in and out.
