Hello my darlings! I've been gone a while, but all is good.
I've started volunteering at a local animal shelter, and a male panther was brought in recently. They're doing a good job, considering they have no experience with anything but cats and dogs.
I'm going back on Tuesday but would love...
Chameleon Info:
• Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care?
Female panther, she's about 18 months old, I've had her for just over a year.
• Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon?
Very rarely, she hates it. Been trying to feel...
I'm so old enough to know better (married forever, two children, own two houses) but I'm still obsessed with videogames...
Currently playing Animal Crossing New Leaf, having played the previous incarnations on the GameCube, DS, and Wii...
Also love Zelda, having successfully got to the...
Just had FedEx collect my last baby crestie... The others I sold through Craigslist, but this one was special and I promised him/her to a board member!
Followed the guidelines on Ship Your Reptiles to the letter, so I'm optimistic but scared...
See pics, no constructive criticism allowed since...
I fainted at a party on Saturday, yes I'd been drinking, an entire 3 glasses of wine. Managed to hit a door frame on my way down, split my head open pretty well! I don't remember much about what happened, but it was my first ambulance ride! Ended up with a 4 inch gash (fnarr) and 9 staples. Now...
I bought a decorative bird cage for Ivy's enclosure, then rearranged things to hopefully suit her better. I'm going for an abandoned and overgrown formal garden look...
My schefflera is still feeling sorry for itself, I moved the UV hood so it's less in the shade of the pothos, hoping it will...
Has anyone used this in their enclosures? I bought a large metal ornamental birdcage from Home Goods which I'd love to put in Ivy's enclosure, but it will need sealing to protect it from water damage. I'm guessing some sort of polycrylic sealant would be better but wanted to know if anyone else...
So I've been a huge meanie and went away for 4 days, leaving Ivy in the care of the Mist King. Come home and she's very hungry and quite open-minded about food.
I had saved a brown juice bottle for this project, but think it got chucked out, and all I had was a Diet Coke bottle. So I cut a...
I was sure we had a thread about this, but I can't find it now. Last night I FINALLY finished the blanket I knitted fir our realtor who was so wonderful when we moved to the US, it was like having a dad living nearby. His wife is a huge Yankees fan so I made this, it took me 8 months and no, I'm...
What are yours? Just so we can start to prepare and pick teams... I'm mainly thinking zombie apocalypse, but I'm open to other apocalypses we can prepare for.
So in a world of limited infrastructure, safety and security I offer the following:
I'm a lactation consultant, so can save lives...
I caught Ivy eating a leaf yesterday and she completely freaked out when I took it out of her mouth, turned black, hissed and bit really hard. I thought it might be my nail polish design.
I put her on the window screen next to her enclosure where there was a curtain between us and she calmed...
I watched Ivy sneak down to the bottom of the schefflera, figured she was exploring or pooping, but no, she snagged a dead leaf, little baggage. Then she had the nerve to turn black, puff up, hiss and BITE ME when I tried to pull it from her mouth. And she must have grown because it actually...
Ivy went for a wander outdoors today and loved it, until a big lorry got stuck in the road and there was a big kerfuffle and she needed to run up me and burrow into my dress. She insisted I start another thread, she's SUCH an attention-seeker...
As most of you know, a few months ago I moved from a small village just outside London to a small village just outside New York City. It's been a huge culture shock and I'm still adjusting. The only family I have in the US are people I married or gave birth to. My family in the UK feel pretty...
Seems I no longer have any Rhacodactylus Ciliatus, and nor does anyone else! I now have Correlophus Ciliatus! http://www.moonvalleyreptiles.com/education/changes-in-rhacodactylus
And yes, I'm well aware that this is only likely to interest fellow geeks who also pore over every news release from...
Spent $40 on crickets. I feel like such a failure! I just can't bear to spend that much somewhere online and have the feeders all die again. There's a lot to be said for just walking in and out. Obviously they'll be fed up carefully before feeding off, but I'm feeling happier now there are...
