So JEALOUS! I've been scouring all of our Lowes, Home Depots, Walmarts, nurseries, etc., for the spider/airplane plants to put in the hanging baskets on my front porch and I've found ONE all year.. then I had to pay $10 for it! Great finds! Maybe I will have to wander over to Lowes and Home...
Hello all!
I'm sure this question has been answered before - in fact I know it has because I saw it on this forum before but can't find it again - but it's in regards to store-bought vegetables and seedlings.
My family's winter garden that was started from seed appears to have been a bust this...
This can be closed. I am fortunate enough to have a great friend of the family with reptile experience who has offered to take Speed Bump if I feel it's necessary for her to "babysit" should things get too busy for me. :). Thank you so much to those who responded and gave me kind words.
Hi all -
As much as it breaks my heart, I need to find Speed Bump a new home.
In the last couple of days, I've had some personal issues, including some health problems, and a really good opportunity arise for my education in the very near future, that leaves me a bit uncertain as to how...
I feel so brilliant for coming up with this in about 15 mins. or so.
We finally have a pretty, warm day, so I set up an enclosure outside to put Speed Bump in. It's hot outside (to me) but she is loving it so far.
I plan on providing a few plants and maybe a couple of different types...
Thankfully for the next few days the weather will be about 80-85* outside and will be nice and sunny, so I'm definitely going to try to get her out into the tub she was originally in for a couple of hours to get some sunshine. I plan on trying to set it up on the back porch, because I often go...
JessiKY - thank you! :)
Just an update...
I seem to be doing a bit better on humidity levels and temperatures. I'm working on a combination of CHE's and the MVP to see which combination works best for adequate temperatures. I'll also be investing in a thermostat for the CHE's because I...
In my spare time, I’ve been researching all that I can about Leopards simply because I want to make sure that I understand everything in order to give little Speed Bump the most proper care that I can provide for her. Right now my head is spinning with an overload of information. I’m very...
Working on that today! :) I've been checking through photos of weeds and different grasses that are native to here to see if I can identify them. Most of the grass we have is native bahiagrass with some coastal mixed in as grasses. For weeds, I know we have oodles of them.. so it's just a...
Here is a photo of my "mess" right now.
I'm hoping the doors on the cage won't be a burden in the long run, but at the time of purchase it seemed very convenient since it's hard for me to reach down into an aquarium/cage being in a wheelchair. It was also the only cage they had that would...
Tom & Lovelyrosepetal - thanks for the reply!
This morning, shortly after I read your reply, I looked over and realized that my UVB never came on this morning. (Thankfully it was only about 10 mins. after it was supposed to.) I thought I had blown a breaker, but after trying different plugs...
So for the last two nights I've been putting water into the substrate in Speed Bump's box and mixing everything around to make it moist. My [cheap] moisture gauge says that the moisture is from 70-80% in the two days. Generally it's been dropping when the UVB light is on and the substrate...
I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday and was wondering about fake plants, but I really didn't know if it was safe. I was afraid that there might be something (paint, etc.), that would be harmful or that she might try to eat them - have you ever had this problem? But I'm glad to know that my...
Hi all!
I figured I would share little Speed Bump's enclosure with you all to see if I could get any recommendations and suggestions on what else I might could include in it.
(Yep, little piggy had just been fed and was chowing down.)
Her actual "box" is a plastic tub that I...
Mea = "May" :) However, I've answered to "Mia" before, too.. a group of online friends always knew me as Mea, then when we met at the Breeder's Cup (for those of you who aren't horsey-people, it's one of the larger races that's been in CA and KY for the last couple of years), I had to break it...
Hello all!
I am prettyremarks (AKA Mea-- short for Meagan) and a first-time tortoise owner! My little tortoise, whom I will introduce in just a second, was a bit of an impulsive buy when I went to a reptile show about 1 1/2 weeks ago. I had, however, been looking at tortoise care and types...
