I don't want to jinx it, but things are showing signs of improvement, both in myself, but also in my immediate family.

Mine weren't producing pitchers previously as during the quarantining period, I did not give it the right conditions to do such. It formed a few small pitchers that lacked the lids, but since being in the bioactive enclosure, it has started to produce larger, fully formed pitchers and, as seen...

On a good note, Chandler's cage is doing well, and the pitcher plants have their first fully formed pitchers!

Unfortunately I am not. Currently they can stay at my previous abode, as long as I come to take care of them. It's an uneasy peace for me and going in there to care for my reptiles causes a bit of dissociation. However I see my doctor on the 22nd and they should be able to help. Tomorrow I get...

Ah yes, caught by my lack of proof reading lol Basically I have a vehicle of my own so I can drive to come take care of them if it's local enough. I should have specified that it's moreso a physical place to keep them. @MissSkittles I have already reached out to some fellow herpers and I will...

Hey cham fam, I realize I'm not the most frequent of posters but I am posting as I am starting to run out of options. I am posting this in general discussion as I am looking for help of any kind. Due to recent changes in my life, I am looking for someone or a service to temporarily house or...

Well, I did a thing and got a programmable LED plant light. The isopods have definitely established themselves now as I've seen over 20 of the babies so far. Also had to add in some more leaf litter as the cleanup crew is starting to make quick work of the initial leaf litter layer.

I meant to respond, unfortunately life got busy, the deposits are visible both on xray and physically, they've formed as hard lumps in soft tissue areas.

Clarifies it, with what I've learned in biology classes, I tend to let nature do it's thing as it's had millions of years of evolution to get to this point, so humanities understanding and ability to change it for the better is limited in a certain way.

I'm referring to the precursor for D3 in particular, which in the body is oxidized into the usable form of D3 immediately, if I remember correctly. The supplementation I would be referring to would be 7-dehydrocholesterol. Not sure if it can be supplemented though as it is synthesized from a...

A bit of a firing today.

So jelly.

I still have the D3 on hand and a solameter, finally, but I also get bloodwork done about every six months to make sure everything is alright. At most I use Calcium with low D3 once a month. I limit the use as it caused calcium deposits in soft tissue. And from past experience, vitamin D is...

Honestly since running a T5, I've cut D3 supplementation entirely after being recommended as such by my vet after my cham developed some signs of having too much D3. He's fine now, but I got him just as T5s were becoming more common for UV lights. In the past year or two, I've just been able to...

And by don't grow that well, I mean you have to replant them every year. They don't survive the winters. The plants themselves are 4 inches in height and only produce vines 1/8th of an inch across in the first year.

Yeah, fruit wines, like from Saskatoon berries or Strawberries. Or Mead which is honey wine. Grapes don't grow here that well, I've tried more than once myself.

Closest grape vines I know of are in British Columbia. I'm low-key jelly that you guys have easy to access vines.

Two is usually sufficient though. One doesn't quite cover enough area IMO.

Depends on the setup and where you live. I run four in my setup, but they also water the plants.

Yeah, true reptile only stores, there is one small one that mainly just sells reptiles, one that specializes in reptiles and amphibians but again mainly just sells the animals, and the third is a general pet store. I've got one pet store I can go to for reptile supplies, but it's limited stock...
