Thanks, Two!
I'm back now, but still a bit of a mess. Oz managed to get Pepper's cage open and I wasn't fast enough. She's gone.
It's way too quiet around here now.
But! Everyone else is doing well. Aki is about to shed and I got a video of Kerrigan rattling her tail at me. Oz and I are doing some new training, for reasons I think are obvious, and hopefully I can tame his instincts a little bit more.

I am very sorry about losing Pepper.
I remember the quiet of my house after my Pugzy died. My house hadn't been quiet in years with kids, but it felt so quiet. Then I got used to not having her talk to us. Eventually, we came to the conclusion that we were all ready to get another bird, but was NOT getting another green cheek. So we got Lexi, and 2 other ****atiels, but it wasn't the same.
I'm glad that everyone else is doing well. Hopefully Oz makes headway with his extra training.

I'm sorry about Pepper. I'm glad you're not giving up on Oz as some people would & I've got high hopes for him with his training. Sending positive energy your way *hugs*

Thanks so much, both of you. It's been a tough time, but I'm actually back on the forums now. I got the urn back with my Bee's ashes two days ago. It's mother of pearl in a green color. Very pretty, and it matches Echo's, which is white mother of pearl. I also bought a small glass globe with a topper, like the ones I was using to make hedgehog quill necklaces, but smaller. I put a green head feather in it and put it on a chain. It doesn't photograph well but I'll keep trying.
Oz and I have been working on his recall and his drop it a LOT the past week. He's doing quite well, but is still fixating on Rocket if she rustles. It's going to take some time, but if I can get him comfortable around other dogs, I'm sure I can get his recall and drop it up to snuff. He's lucky he's so handsome.
I'm currently wearing Kerrigan, who keeps slipping off my shoulders and falling into my hand, like the braindead goof she is. So she's doing well. She really doesn't understand hanging on with her body like the others do. Sherlock does it just fine so it's not a kingsnake thing. I think she's just a little off, mentally.
Everybody else is good, too. My arm is actually getting a blister from the way I hold the sprayer when I water Akihiko. He refuses to drink from anything but the sprayer so I spend 40 minutes a day watering him. But not directly on his head! On the coil beside his head, or gently onto a leaf, or down his neck onto his lips, but NEVER directly on his head because "how dare you touch me with that, human! Water is super scare! Now I must go do a hide!" At which point he wedges his nose into the nearest coil and hisses. Imagine a grumpy old man grunt, and then turn it into a hiss. Like that. Which then blows bubbles, because I got him wet. So he's fun as always.
Finn is still loving the new diet, and I'm allllmost out, so I'll be able to film my process when I make a new batch. That should hopefully be up next week.
I got some new friends for the saltwater fish tank in the mail today. Turns out you can order fish on the internet! I got two more tiny hermit crabs, they're little blue legged hermit crabs, and I will probably never see them again because they are so small. And I got two Astrea snails, who should eat the green goo on the tank walls, and I got one great big zebra turbo snail, who has wedged himself between two rock formations and hasn't moved since. Eat the green hair algae, dangit!
I had a cyanobacteria outbreak while I was out of it the past while, so I'm also treating that. I added the stuff at 6pm and it's already half gone, so that's really cool.
Also this is living in the cubby under the stairs. I'll make it a link so there isn't just a giant spider in your face. But it is a giant spider. You have been warned. http://i.imgur.com/VLN9pPp.jpg

Well, the expo was yesterday. It's not a leopard gecko. It's a bearded dragon. We got a little distracted :lol:. One guy had some Cordylus Jonesii, and Rocket's breeder had some adorable cbb uromastyx babies. The importer I know also brought some of the $3500 lizards we were considering, just to taunt us specifically I think. That was tough to walk away from.
But! This is Broxigar! He's a whopping 10 grams and 9 weeks old. I got him from an Alberta breeder who's been going to the shows for a few years now.
![]()
He ate a cricket last night and at least two today. We'll try some raspberry in an hour or so. He refuses to go in the hides and is just sitting on his hammock watching us. And he's sooooooo cuuuute!
We couldn't agree on a leo, because Ryan likes the really highly patterned yellow ones and I like the blotchier orange ones, and then we were discussing the effort required to tame down the Cordylus jonesii, and the fact that the two the guy had were female and they're communal so we'd want both and that was getting pricey and we'd need a whole new cage, and then the uromastyx babies were piling on top of each other and being adorable and I know that breeder is amazing, but they were bigger than what we wanted, and then we realized we kind of *did* want something bigger, so we had to start over... It was tough! So it's a beardie!
In other news, I just need to edit the food video together so that should be up later in the week, barring me forgetting to do it, or eat, or sleep with Legion coming out on Tuesday.
I also made a slug bro, but I need to edit the photos yet!

I'm much too excited for Halloween this year to wait until next month, so I've started the photoshoots already. Brox is done and Finnick is up next! Brox is going as a sweet little lady who loves gardening and chatting, or a warlock who is trying to raise the dead from his sleek purple coffin.

I'll post Finn's here once they're done, but I'll make them their own post as well, since they're not off topic for a change.

I couldn't get the little stink to sit still for more than one picture! He and Brox just got to share the witch hat, since it was the perfect size for both of them.

And in other news, I couldn't stand the lack of bird in my house but I'm really not ready for another parrot, so I got a little quail. She's not quite hand tame yet but we're really close now. She'll sit in my hand for a while and she loves my pockets, but she still won't eat or drink with me watching, or out of my hand. She's an absolute cutie though, and content to be bothered for an hour or so a day at random intervals, so she's living safely in the reptile room, and Oz doesn't even know she exists. I named her "Kusu" originally, but I keep calling her "Twerp" so it may change. Here she is nestled in all comfy and plotting world domination:

I do! His name is Illidan and he's 8 or 9 now I believe. There should be some pictures of him in this thread somewhere.

Well, Christmas has come and gone again, and I got a whole pile of money instead of presents this year. I was ordered to buy myself something nice. "Something nice" consists of a 30 gallon long Innovative Marine tank with the stand and all the fixins, plus a Maxspect Razor light fixture. It is a HUGE upgrade from my little 8 gallon cube!
Here's an early shot of the 8g after I swapped it from the longer 10g into here:
![]()
That would have been... April maybe? Somewhere around there. The rocks have colored up a ton and the corals are doing well, but it was always so cramped.
And here it is yesterday with the blues cranked up:
![]()
And just now with the lights off:
![]()
The file open on my desktop is the blue tank picture :mrgreen:
The Borghal Rantipole, Seamus, and the clean up crew are all in and settled. I dumped in the 7 gallons of water from my old tank, plus all the rock, plus some water conditioner, and everything is stable so far. Ranty has been coming out to take a look at his new surroundings.
I'm hoping to get a clownfish and something else to go in once I'm sure the water parameters are stable. I'd also really like a tuxedo urchin! The new light can handle anything I throw at it, so I can get a much larger variety of corals, too!
Finnick also had a good Christmas. He got some new toys and a new kind of wet cat food that we're slowly introducing. Twerp got some crushed up dried mealworms and a calcium supplement since she's started laying eggs. Illidan got a big plastic tub to live in beside Kerrigan, Rocket and Akihiko got a new heat setup, and Oz got a bunch of toys!
Mister Broxigar trashed his cage, so he's on the same patterned plastic that I wrapped the custom cage with, and his decor has been scaled up since he's growing so fast! He's 110 grams now. He was 10 when I got him! I'll take some updated pictures of him once he's done shedding.
And that's what's new around here! Did anyone else's pets get anything awesome over the holidays?

The new tank looks awesome! Very nice Christmas present. And all of the critter presents sound great too! I'm glad you guys had a good holiday. I was wondering how you were doing!!
Ebony got a big package of toys & a new cardboard scratching thing. She loves both - the toys are getting played with because she's a weird cat that actually plays with things we buy her. :lol: And the scratcher went next to our chair in the living room & she's using it constantly, as hoped. That was one of the spots she was still scratching at the carpet frequently - now as soon as she gets overstimulated or excited, she looks around & runs to hop on the scratcher instead.
The hedgies didn't really get anything (though I want to order some liners for them soon, and get a new sleeping tunnel for Pancake so I can swap them for washing), but Charis got some new supplies to go into her big enclosure once she moves, and the hermit crabs got some new dried fruit I found when I was at a fancy grocery store. I meant to do more for everyone, but the holidays are difficult & I was a little out of it for most of them.

Cool tank and nice presents. Ichiro got a dig box with rocks, I have been sick with a nasty cold since before Christmas so last night I finally set it up, it's a shallow cake pan with ricks inside, i put some canned mealworms and he ate them all, i heard him digging, i guess he liked it. I also got green and red fleece to use during Christmas time so his cage looked festive!

My cats were always the "play with the box and not the toy" sorts. You lucked out! I can't wait to see Charis's new place once you get it set up.
I honestly thought I was going to be working Christmas Eve and Boxing Day, which would have meant staying here alone for Christmas. But I was off until Thursday so that worked out. Would have been a pretty boring holiday otherwise.
Yay, I'm glad Ichiro likes his dig box! I wanted to do themed liners for Finn but I haven't gotten around to it yet. He's still only got blue with owls and grey with owls. I like owls. :lol:

Well... he liked looking for mealworms, not too thrilled about looking for his kibble. Lol.
Since I only have one pet and one child, when I got Ichiro I kind of went overboard with the fleece... we have grey with yellow owls, black/white pet prints, Olaf, and few more... i think my husband thinks I'm crazy. Lol.
By the way, cats and kids are similar... they rather play with the box than with the toy, my daughter is 8 and we say she's a box troll. Lol

Just a short update for now, and maybe possibly some videos later, depending on whether I finish them or not.
Brox seems to never be done shedding. I'm used to snakes and geckos who do one big piece all at once, or Rocket who explodes tiny scales all over the place. Broxigar sheds in patches. Right now one back leg and the upper portion of his tail are white.
The fish tank is still great, and naturally, since my adorable 8 gallon is empty, I'm thinking about moving the betta into there. Unfortunately, my monitor broke last week, so I have my TV on my desk right now, taking up all the space. It's ridiculous. So I might wait to move the fishie over, but I also might not. I get bored.
Rocket escaped from a closed, latched, reptile-proof enclosure. I have no idea how she did it. She's in Pepper's cage now with the heat panel against the back. That sneaky lizzerd. That means Illidan is back in the tank I bought for him a while back. Sherlock has been shifted into a big tub, and Twerp is in his old cage. At least Finn is still good in his cage.
Kerrigan has a lump. It might be a tumor and it might be a blockage. I haven't fed her anything big, but she's such a weirdo that a mouse may have gone down curled. She's still doing okay, but she's needing a vet visit. I'm trying to decide if I want to take a sample myself and send it to Edmonton, or take her in and let them do it. I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself, I just don't want to.
Everyone else is behaving for now!

If you move the betta over, I definitely want pics! I've been really wanting a betta again...I blame the fact that I got back into my animal-themed tumblr I run, and I have a few fish blogs on there with bettas. It'll have to wait until we move later this year, but I may start looking into it more then. I want to completely set the tank up first, and I'd like to do a planted one this time, I think. Also my plan for now is to just post on Craigslist that I can take in a betta & see if I can adopt one that way. No plans to support the stupid little cups from pet stores!
Rocket, what the heck?!! I think you have a magic skink....honestly. Tell her I said she seriously needs to start behaving herself so everyone else can stop getting moved around constantly. :lol:
I hope Kerrigan is okay! Let us know what you find out? I'll keep fingers crossed that it's nothing serious...I don't blame you for not wanting to do it yourself.

And another short update for today!
I've decided I'm definitely moving Keitan the betta into the 8 gallon, so that should happen in the next few weeks! I uploaded two videos, one of the 30 gallon "reef" and one of an updated pet rooms tour. Those are
and
! Finn is in the tour one briefly, but he was being a grumpus so I just gave him a pat and let him sleep. In the food dish is some new kibble I'm trying out for my mix. We're just in the testing for allergies and bad poops phase now, but it's been great so far. He gets a full bowl of that a night plus his usual mix, and he is picking at the kibble a bit!
Kerrigan's lump is a lung tumor, which is bad news. We're working out what the best course of action is, but it's not looking great right now. The little lady is only 3 years old.
I'm going to be taking a break from the forum for a while. The arguing and ignoring advice is stressing me out, and along with being cut down to 5 hours a week at work, plus having found a dream job of mine, but as an apprentice that won't get paid well for a year or so, plus Kerrigan's tumor, I'm about as stressed as is possible right about now. I won't get into the boring details, but things are rough all around. So I'm cutting out one stressor to keep myself sane!
I should only be gone a week or two while I sort everything else out, but I do have terrible luck so it may be a bit longer.
For now, enjoy the videos, and I'll be back soon! Be good, everyone!

Love the videos! Nice to see everyone's updated set ups & such in the tour video! I started giggling when you were trying to put Illidan's log back down & he was in the way. Same thing happens when I try to put Charis's turtle shell hide back over her. :lol: She just kinda slides out all over when I move it on her! I really wish I could have a room just for pets, it'd be so nice. Maybe someday I can end up in an apartment or town house with enough space, once I have fewer debts & a raise or two from work.
Broxigar has gotten so big!!! I love him! I can't wait to get a beardie eventually, I've wanted one for years.
I'm so, so sorry to hear about Kerrigan. That's awful. Sending you lots of extra hugs & good thoughts...
I don't blame you for taking a break, I'm starting to think another sounds good right about now too. :roll: I hope it helps and things improve so your stress goes down. That's no fun at all. The dream job sounds awesome though, what is it?

The betta has been moved!
I need to fill in some space, but that'll just take time while the plants grow.
I don't know how I'd function without a pet room. Even at my parents' place I always sort of had one. Bumpy was in the extra bedroom/office, along with whatever small mammal I had at the time.
I still need to do Broxy's video. He's perpetually shedding still, and I want him to be all nice for the camera. :roll:
Miss Kerrigan is holding stable. I'm just watching for any growth or really odd poops at this point. Hopefully it keeps up. I'm happy to feed her liquid for years as long as she's alive.
I *think* I'm back from my break now... Things seem to have died down here, and both of my jobs are still going well, plus my boyfriend has some work for the next little while. Yay, no more bread sandwiches! The new job is as an apprentice groomer. She's willing to train me and in payment I just owe her some baths, dries, and brushes, which is more than fair. It's either that or go to school for $5000 while learning next to nothing. So I'll take it. Tomorrow morning there's a saint Bernard puppy coming in!

I *think* I'm back from my break now... Things seem to have died down here, and both of my jobs are still going well, plus my boyfriend has some work for the next little while. Yay, no more bread sandwiches! The new job is as an apprentice groomer. She's willing to train me and in payment I just owe her some baths, dries, and brushes, which is more than fair. It's either that or go to school for $5000 while learning next to nothing. So I'll take it. Tomorrow morning there's a saint Bernard puppy coming in!
