Terrarium Ideas.

[eufa1313]

I have alot of issues that need to be solved before I move out on my own like therapy, social skills, and somethings that I just plain dont understand need to be worked. I stopped college a while ago so I can find a better path for me. As well as I just dont have the money at the moment. Where I live finding a job is not easiest thing to do. But that goes anywhere. Also theres other issues I have that need to be taken care of. Some of them being health issues. I believe Iam in a path for bettering myself. See I didnt want to move out early because I d ont want to end up in the streets should I get fired from a job. My brothers are older 22-24 with no disabilities and are still with my parents. My oldest is majoring in psychology I believe he already got his bachelors. He wants to go for his doctorates. The middle one wants to be a mechanic I guess so hes working to be one. As for me IAm trying to look into the fields of animals and nature because my own problem is. If I dont find any interest insomething I wont give it my all. IAm pretty sure there is also something for me to do in those fields. So Iam trying hard to find something that suits my lifestyle and mind. So far Ived come up with vet tech, or even a vet, theres also park ranger though I dont know if thats enough money to lead a succesful life(car, house, food and essentials). Theres also an animal controll officer or an animal law enforcer. I think the two are different. One is animal control and the other one is a law enforcer(cop). I was also thinking I could be a botanist or a biologists. But Iam more suited for working out doors. So thats pretty much why. :P

Hey that's awesome, I'm glad the young ppl are actually planning out there lives,
I wish I had did that, I would have made a better life for myself, but alas i didn't..
other than that, i wasn't being rude to you guy.. not that you took it that way..
I make it a point not to be rude or malicious towards ppl, there's already enough of those ppl out in this world already..
Im a noob to this stuff also.. so we can learn together you've obviously been a member of this site longer than I, so maybe you can help me with a few things
I hope all of your problems are sorted out in a timely fashion,
Right now i work at a mentally taxing job & a wife that spends every dime I earn with total disregard to our own well being...
So yea, take yer time.. if you try, things will come around... if not,

Ohh & thank you for the welcome, i posted my introduction a few weeks ago, its there "NEW GUY" if you really want to read it.

Hmm well now things are starting to sort itself. Going on a dietary regiment, Iam being taught social skills and cues(on and off teachings), Iam making newer friends where I live in since the friends I had I left because of immaturity. I may be getting a new job soon. My friend is trying to find me a start up disk and Iam saving up for a key. Iam also saving up for a car and a home. I just dont want to rush moving out of the house just because Iam 19. Theres alot of things I need to do before I even think of that. First off I dont want a house that gives me a lot of hassle since IAm just starting out. Iam saving up for a brand new car because again Iam new at cars so I cant go with something thats already used. Iam thinking of something along the lines of a dodge ram pick up truck(durable, safe, reliable and does the job). Iam also narrowing down my path to what I want to do. I just want to find a job I want to stick with because... Frankly I dont want a job where I get paid a ton of money but then Iam not really happy doing it. As well as I dont want to live in an apartment because frankly of too many rules. I want my own set of rules. The girl I like who moved to a far away place is comming back to where I live in around 2-3 years. So things are starting to look up for me I guess.


As for giving you a welcome. Well thats just how Iam. I like to be friendly and nice.

@Kurt: Yeah I know, but I want to specify on working out on nature preserves and such. Or even campsites. That is if I ever go to do that. Either way I still need to go to school. Whether its vocational or college I just need a degree so I can atleast have better success at getting a job. I figured I should have atleast a bachelors. If I need more studying then Ill do what I can. You know?


Also on the topic of the terrarium. I just bought a larger kritter keeper since the toads were in a smaller kritter keeper(5inches long) and now they are in a kritter keeper thats 14inches long, 8inch tall and 8inch wide. I fit in a hiding ornament so they dont feel stressed constantly. I also fit in a small water dish. Its only deep enough to soak the larger toads legs. So the crickets dont drown. I bought the kritter keeper for 16bucks at petco. I know I know its a rip off but I figured I can use it also for the earthworms when the toads are ready to transfer. As well Iam getting an idea of some ornaments I could use. I could go off to the mall and buy these goblin statues that are like 8inch tall and 5inch wide. I could get 3 of them or 2. I was also figuring Id go buy some plants. But Iam asking for parents permission first. My friend is going to take me to a nursery. My friend gave me a "mister". What it does its like a water bottle spray. It sprays the tank a bit every day. :P I still cant figure out the light switch. Iam going to buy myself another. Ill see if I can look up instructions online.

I prepared a gallon of water in this large apple juice container. Cause I keep wasting the conditioner(Iam bad at measuring). So I put in boiling hot water in the containerr. I put in 4-5cubes of rocksalt(3/4 of an inch). I poured two capfulls of amquel. I mixed it in and Iam letting it sit there. The water is crystal clear. I put in some salt in there because its not enough to harm the frogs and its also good for them to have a little bit of it. Where I used to work we did this for all the fish and reptiles and amphibians. But we only did very small quantities. In turn we saw an improvement on health. So Iam giving it a try.

Btw The larger toad has NO poison glands visible. Why???
