Once I've used this a couple years and have worked out all the kinks I'll def share all the specs for others. Too new to do so confidently yet tho

I've done a lot to address weight too. Enclosures being too heavy to easily clean once full of substrate and nonsense has been a pain point for years. It was too much too quickly even though they are only in an enclosure overnight and when we're not home!

The rug is probably the weirdest choice, but after over a decade I think I deserve to say fuck you to particulates indoors and paper towels. They can scratch around on this, flop on it comfortably, keep their feet clean, and I can rotate between rugs every week bc affording many isn't difficult.

The finished enclosure will have full spectrum lighting w/programmed sunrise/sunset, nesting pads, some foraging toys, and some better hardware. + their supplement cups and stuff (grit, eggshell.) They'll have soft bedding on their perch as well. Might switch from this rug to bath rugs eventually.

I can do that for feathers that are ready to erupt from the casings, but all these in the photos are growing quills. There is unfortunately no way to speedrun feather maturation. Seasonal molters have it rough vs birds that molt continously since they get all the tender pins everywhere at once

If I could just justify having 2 cockatrice suits to my wife... I am excited to see this one someday 👀

😳👍

You didn't make this consumable in 60 seconds or less and it isn't in my preferred narrative style or aesthetic! You must want me to suffer!! GATEKEEPING!!!

I'm both and I get you on the meds thing. The way I look at it, autism makes me operate differently but not incorrectly, so there's nothing there to bother fixing. But ADHD makes me operate incorrectly, which means I need more than adjusted expectations to deal with it.

Awesome! Hopefully I don't miss it next time I'm at a con where it happens. Thanks for hosting such a thing!
