Absolutely. I literally haven’t seen any kids in over a year and a half (since Covid) and I just didn’t think about it. Honestly, it’s very doubtful I’ll let a kid hold him again. Thanks for the tips :)

Hi all, I don’t know what I was thinking but today I let my neighbour's granddaughter hold my ~2 year old leopard and she dropped him. Its totally my fault, she’s only 5 and I really should have known better. He was about at her waist height, and as I said she’s 5 so I doubt it was more than...

Hey @leoturt any way you’d be willing to send some to me too? I can pay :)

Hi everyone! Can you use wood stain or paint on the outside and the inside of a wooden enclosure? I know fumes can be incredibly harmful, is there a certain brand that works best? I would prefer to use stain rather than paint. Should I just not paint or stain it at all? Thanks in advance...

Hi Tom, I have a couple questions for you: -for you flood bulbs, do you use dome fixtures to house them in? -would you recommend 5.0 or 10.0 reptisun T5 HO tube lighting? Thanks in advance!
