Same here. I've received emails summarizing threads and such for several years, which I always read and learn from. They've dried up completely, until today something came through with a new format. Hope all's well at the Forum.

Three things about what Tom said: 1) search this site for prior posts about weed identification. You'll find others have posted many photos over the years and had a lot of solid help identifying good, bad, and acceptable weeds. 2) post your own photos of the plants around you and you'll find the...

Could you heat a large flat stone or cast iron skillet by fire SAFELY then use the heated stone/skillet as a heat source under some towels or some such to radiate heat into the space without any direct contact? Pioneers used to do this with soapstone and special irons designed to warm beds prior...

I came across this thread today and would like to ask you if you still hold the same opinion? Also: roach colonies?

Thank you ?

Where did you get it? I have a Hermann's and have been meaning to try him on this stuff

Thanks for posting this info. We are on the verge of buying 'something' to improve over the old UV lamps zoom med sold. We have a single Hermann's tort in an open indoor habitat. He gets plenty of light through the windows around his clear-sided 4'x8' space. Tom recommending buying a solar meter...

Is your summary relevant to Hermann's?

To all the newbies out there: if you're going to be easily offended by top experts trying to help you keep your pet alive, healthy, and comfortable in the wildly different circumstances these animals see around the world via this forum....maybe consider if perhaps it is you who's at fault. Tom...

I was thinking grizzlies and their immediate brown kin. Not a problem here in the East, but something to think about out west

Depends on what species of bear, I think

Yes, and not-yes (rather than no) - there are exploiters in every venture and it is their greed that taints the reputations of those you describe. I buy all my meats from pasturing farmers because I 'can't' hunt and I do revere the lives of the creatures I eat. Such a tricky balance, but worth...

I've read similar research on wild life, even chipmunks. I guess relocation at least gives the creature Darwin's chance. Even squashing a bug takes a toll for some of us. I liked your post about humane dispatch, freezing and feeding later, but of course that's not an option for everyone. 'Circle...

Thank you. That makes sense.

Many varieties of hibiscus and at least one variety of mulberry do super well in snow cold New Hampshire. I'm grateful my neighbors grow 'em

Excellent advice, thank you!

Not arguing with you one bit here: is there a general rule of thumb about how to limit the risks of them flipping unnoticed? I've found my Hermann's upside down a couple times and righted him. His pen is flat (despite your recommendations for more interesting terrain...) because I worry about...

Thank you
