COLD DARK ROOM

Hmmm.
Lena had a problem leaving, too.
How odd!

There are a few things that don't work properly with this forum. I guess Josh doesn't have time to go into detail trying to fix things.

Indeed.
And it's hardly a huge problem.
Some of the posting photos in galleries issues are more pressing for example.
You are still showing as a conversation participant, but this may be deliberate to stop people cheating the system and getting unlimited correspondents involved by people leaving and joining when necessary.
Thank you, again.

It should be fine but you need to replace that substrate asap.
I'd be tempted to keep the little one on newspaper until you have the coco coir and the stitch has dissolved but then you have a humidity problem.
Just try to keep the area of the stitch clean, i reckon.

I think I'll keep him on this substrate till I find a garden centre that does coco noir and some orchid moss just because she doesn't eat it and I'm always home , as well as this it does a good job with humidity in the burrows

Is repti bark any good

Feeling chuffed. Vacuum cleaner now fixed.

With the help of youtube the problem was diagnosed as the brush motor.

Got a new assembly from eBay. Back to youtube to remind myself how to get the old one off and then connect the new one.

I love Dysons they're just bits that plug together. Easy to fix

How splendid.
So many helpful vids on You Tube!
Don't know how we ever managed before!
(guess we didn't)
So now it really does suck!

I'm not sure, we don't get it here.

Fair enough, can't seem to find a shop near me with coco coir :/

 

[johnandjade]

I didn't realize you'd given up smoking ?
I saw these in 2013 when I was in Blighty, but never tried one.
Any good ?

i got (ahem) a 'medicinal' one

 

[johnandjade]

My tort has just had HER microchip I was so shocked to find out squirt is actually a female

wayhey

 

[Squirt16]

wayhey

Out of my comfort zone!!

 

[johnandjade]

Definitely! They don't show male traits until they're near full size. Squirt has a lot of growing to do yet. Maybe 3 or 4 years - could be more.

It's a size thing rather than age.

joke in there

Apparently Repti bark is just orchid bark under another name.
It is fine as a substrate but more expensive than buying the same stuff (fir bark) at a garden centre.
If you've got the money go for it, though some say it doesn't hold humidity as well as coco coir.
I use coir.
