Re: White nettle? Also Something else

Ah yes sorry I know I just grabbed them, tried to ID them with Google lens but couldn't and it was pouring down.

Thank you very much, I'm sure after a while I will get better at this!

Thanks xx

White nettle? Also Something else

Hiya

Please can I have an ID of the left one.. It was near woody verge and water. Also the nettle is that normal nettle or white nettle? There were no flowers but you can see these on it....I tried to rub and didn't seem to sting my thumb.. Though I think I'm hardy now 🀣
Thanks

Re: Horsfield enclosure idea

Hi
Please can you check this is fine, I was going to get the largest? Have it going diagonally across the enclosure, hung from L brackets.

Can you get a uvb tester so you know when the bulb is going?

Thanks

Re: Horsfield enclosure idea

Thank you Nina! I will check out those light fittings. I think we will do similar and get a Y shaped bracket for them inside then use the chain. I wanted this enclosure to be ok for him as he grows. Horsfields get to about 25cm is that right? So I wanted enough room in the top floor for him, and I a...

Thank you Lin!
We have somebody in mind now, but it hasn't been finalised yet so we will keep those open in case it falls through.

Re: Turbo the Horsefield needs a new home!

Thank you Lin! Yes we refused to let them take him back to school, so he's been at mine since lockdown. After speaking to Nina he could be older maybe 6 or 7! Unfortunately my husband doesn't want the responsibility of pets even though I have been taking care of Turbo, it's a big ask! It's not as if...
