    New Feeder "Cup"

    Finally, something good to come out of this lousy pandemic!.... I'm sorry I don't remember who came up with this idea, but thank you again! I've been thinking about it ever since I saw it mentioned. I've tried several iterations—couldn't find the right vessel until now. This is a recycled...

    DREMEL: I think I may have just joined the 20th (not 21st) century

    Well, that situation has been remedied. I bought one this week because it was either that or buy a whole new steel door (long story). I've watched so many YT vids I'm overloaded. Most appear to have been made by morons. (Yeah, I know... that describes half of YT... 🤪 ) I checked the...

    Cheesy Movies

    Believe it or don't, cheesy movies (and aficionados) have been around a lot longer than MST3K. Sometimes, it's better (IMO) to watch them in their original form; MST & RiffTrax edit them for time. This got started in another thread when Sonny13's latest build reminded me of the cheesy sets from...

    Why is it... (chameleons vs. frogs)

    Why is is chameleons usually look like they're frowning, and (but?) frogs usually look like they're smiling? Are we missing something? :unsure:

    Another Factor in Choosing Plants

    We all know that "Live plants help increase and maintain humidity." —Resources Section but one factor I don't recall seeing is how much humidity they put into our enclosures. I've posted before about researching individual plants' needs (e.g. light, soil, watering, feeding, etc.) to match them...

    Pet trade relies on ‘disposable’ wild chameleons from Madagascar

    I just came across this article (and site) while looking for an answer to an unrelated question. DISCLAIMER: If you find this kind of subject difficult/upsetting, please skip it; it's not my intent to cause anyone distress. I thought the article informative, and the pictures of the chameleons...

    Current or Favorite Non-Video Games

    There are threads for Favorite Computer/Video games, as well as Music, Bands, Movies, Animals, Plants, and a few others. “You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” — Plato Examples (not my list): Board Games (e.g. Monopoly, Settlers of Catan...

    WikiVet—Resource

    WikiVet—Resource I happened across this resource site on accident. I searched the archives, but found only one 2-post thread that even mentioned it. https://en.wikivet.net/Veterinary_Education_Online https://en.wikivet.net/WikiVet_English:About https://en.wikivet.net/WikiVet_Introduction The...

    Aluminum Framing Fabricators

    I'm assembling a list of aluminum framing fabricators for use by DIYers here in building enclosures similar to those of Zen Habitats, Tamura Designs, Muji, et al. Not all profiles are alike, which is just one reason a resource like this would be useful. For example: The fabricators/vendors I...

    Condors Reproduce Asexually

    Self-replicating xenobots from frog cells

    The xenobots have been around. The real news here is that they replicate by a previously unknown method. Lots more.... I'm sensing a possible (likely?) Nobel here. https://www.npr.org/2021/12/01/1060027395/robots-xenobots-living-self-replicating-copy...

    Got himself in a pickle...

    Ol' Mr. GrumpyPants got some plant table time yesterday, and got himself into a bit of a pickle (not uncommon—he's... adventurous!) He climbed up a Nepenthes to get himself to this position. It looked like he needed rescuing (as he is wont to do), but after I grabbed the 'rescue stick' he...

    A couple of videos I came across...

    This first one is a couple of years old, so it may already have been posted, but it mesmerized us this morning. Anybody (kinyonga?) know what species this is/these are? We were curious about both the mother and the very 'spikey' fellow—don't know if they're the same species or not. I came...

    Dangdest Power Outage...

    Our power—half of it—went out this afternoon. We've never experienced anything like this in 30+ years here. I would have expected a brownout, but some of our breakers & power worked, and some didn't. I actually called an electrician because I thought the problem was on our side of the box, but...
