Okay.. round 2!

I made a post yesterday with my geckos tank, asking for people to rate my setup as well as give additional ideas. Those who read my post know I had a few things in the mail already, the first of which are here so I wanted to give the first update of hopefully a few new additions!! I’d love to make this sort of a community build!

*swipe for the before*

Any more ideas for clutter would be amazing!! I do still have one more hide on the way as well, but I need help for adding “cover” without completely taking up all her space. I do plan to fill both green hides with a top soil/sand mix as well as adding a few slate rocks for basking so I can remove the heat mat.

I was tasked with baking my brother’s cake for his birthday dinner at our yacht club. Our family has a tradition of bringing home baked cakes to these kinds of celebrations (even though none of us are bakers). I was tasked for the second time, and set to work baking a strawberry chocolate devils food cake.

Long story short. It melted with the warm front and rain we’ve had coming in.. and then toppled over in the car. My family loves a good accidental fail so we decided to eat the cake. It tastes the same anyway!

My mother gave the cake to the wait staff to keep in the kitchen coolers until after our dinner, but didn’t tell them that it was horrific. (It had a cover on it)

So after our meal ends the head of the dining room lights the candles and parades the cake through the dining room and there’s other staff whispering to each other and rushing about behind us.

I had my phone at the ready to show everyone the before photo, just to clear my name a bit and told them what happened. Everyone DIED laughing, and my phone was passed around the yacht club so everyone could have a good laugh.

Turns out, the staff thought that they ruined the cake! The kitchen and wait staff had spent the last 15 minutes panicking and rushing to find out what happened and what to do. They thought they ruined my brother’s birthday!! (My brother worked there growing up and we’re close with everyone so they felt awful for those 15 minutes)

It tasted INCREDIBLE and we gave what was left to the staff and crew. All in all a great story, a good laugh, and a delicious desert.
