It's on the firewood, it goes into the fire. You should have seen the massive one that was on the firewood a few months ago. I check every piece before bringing them in and still missed it. But its body was about 20mm long, legs about 75mm. It was sitting on the top piece of the basket inside just looking around until wifey saw it and screamed. Then it ran and hit. Found it eventually and threw the log it was on into the fire. Best place for spiders.

Take a pair of vice grips, hammer, pliers, etc AND BREAK THE DIFFUSER OFF. I think those ones it's just a bare LED under it.

Well, for AC you've already got that wrong... Like I said above. Stick it somewhere above your tank. DONE.

For my moonlight on my marine tank I soldered up a handful of blue leds to a wall wart. Way less than 12 watts, if I remember right they were more like .1 watts total. Much more I think would have been too bright. But, easiest I'd suggest is have a look through the night lights section at The Warehouse or whatever. That plus a cheap extension cord to run to your power strip should do it.

This topic comes up every month or so for the 10ish years I've been reading the board. I can't think of anyone that has actually gone through with it. Maybe Reef. That'd be about it.

Sure they will, but you need to train your pets not to load the gun and shoot themselves with it. And if your pet does and dies then you've eliminated a stupid one and can hopefully replace it with a smarter one.

Yes, I do have my license. And as far as I can tell the law does not require air guns, other than maybe PCPs, to be disassembled and locked in a safe at all times. I'm sure "Grab airgun, load, cock, shoot" is more likely to be successful than "grab keys, open safe, get gun. Go to other safe, grab bolt, go to other room, get ammo, put bolt in gun, load ammo, go try and find where the rabbit went. I've tried it, they don't hang around forever.

Yup, that would do the job. You could get a license and real .22 for about the same price, maybe a few bucks more. But an an airgun you can (legally) leave laying out so you can grab it whenever you see a rabbit in the yard.

Where are you? I'm sure someone local would be happy to come help. You'll need a reasonably good air rifle. A lot of cheapy ones won't do much more than scare them off.

You need to... Oh, wait, can't shoot them...Why not?

I've used a jigsaw and fine toothed blade for cutting it, seemed to work reasonably well, but I ended up with all the half molten plastic dust collecting in the cut behind the blade and welding the piece back together. :slfg: Snapped apart easily and just needed some cleaning. With the normal solvent, a guide and some sanding it should probably be good enough for a small tank, I don't think I'd trust it for a big one though.

Just about everything eats guppy tails, including guppies. I think the only one that is a definite no there is the bristlenose.

Around here that would involve a lot of trespassing...

Usually just water and a paper towel the few times I've cleaned it.

NO! Spiders are bad enough, but zombie spiders?!?

Lucrezia Borgia (Italian pronunciation: [luˈkrɛttsja ˈbɔrdʒa]; 18 April 1480 – 24 June 1519) was the illegitimate daughter of Rodrigo Borgia, the powerful Renaissance Valencian who later became Pope Alexander VI, and Vannozza dei Cattanei. Her brothers included Cesare Borgia, Giovanni Borgia, and Gioffre Borgia. It is often suggested that Cesare and Lucrezia may have had an incestuous relationship.[1] Lucrezia's family later came to epitomize the ruthless Machiavellian politics and sexual corruption alleged to be characteristic of the Renaissance Papacy. Lucrezia was cast as a femme fatale, a role she has been portrayed as in many artworks, novels, and films. Very little is known of Lucrezia, and the extent of her complicity in the political machinations of her father and brothers is unclear. They certainly arranged several marriages for her to important or powerful men in order to advance their own political ambitions. Lucrezia was married to Giovanni Sforza (Lord of Pesaro), Alfonso of Aragon (Duke of Bisceglie), and Alfonso I d'Este (Duke of Ferrara). Tradition has it that Alfonso of Aragon was an illegitimate son of the King of Naples and that her brother Cesare may have had him murdered after his political value waned.

Tell me where I can go collect that many tadpoles if I wanted? Because I don't know of any.

Polypterus stokphotoiius.

No point, I don't really have a menagerie worth seeing. And at the moment with the cat having had a colectomy it all smells a bit like cat poo.

They do know this sort of thing is easily preventable, right?

The selection of pipes, I mean flower vases along with marijuana smell deodorizer sprays doesn't help much more. :slfg:

That goes for any age.

I was thinking, maybe you should name your 3rd book something that will make a lot of money. How about 50 Shades of Grayling?

That's not quite how it works with snails though. They don't just breed 1 snail each, it's more... Every week 2 becomes 100 100 becomes 50,000 50,000 becomes 250,000 250,000 becomes 12,500,000 12,500,000 becomes 625,000,000 625,000,000 becomes 31,250,000,000 31,250,000,000 becomes 1,562,500,000,000 1,562,500,000,000 becomes 78,125,000,000,000. So in 2 months you'll have 78 trillion snails. If they get loose that would be enough to completely cover about 7800 square kilometers and weighing about 3,906,250,000 metric tonnes. That is coincidentally almost exactly the same mass as the entire world's production of crude oil and twice the mass of all the fish in the world. All those starving snails would cover any area from roughly Levin to the bottom of the north island. The huge mass of snails would either devour every living thing and then migrate northwards eating anything and everything they can before reaching the top of the island. Resulting in somewhere around 4 million deaths and which point they all die of starvation. Or, being aquatic snails, most simply die at the start and leave us with almost 4 billion tonnes of rotting meat which seeps into the oceans, into the air, polluting everything and causing massive amounts of death in the ocean, spreading disease across the entire country and southern hemisphere. Millions or billions of people dead, massive ecological die offs and extinctions around the world, all because someone didn't control their snail infestation.

Could be. Flowerhorn is pretty much the common name of any random mutt that contains some red devil blood.
