Ive been by a leg of 480v. It’s nothing. Just wakes you up.

 

I refuse to believe this is real

 

I've zapped myself by being in contact with two prongs on the 480 plug of the welder at work. It wasn't fun, but didn't hurt as much as I thought it was going to hurt

 

Its all about what is in the path of the current. If its your heart, thats a bad day.

 

Then you're robbing yourself of nature's true beauty

 

You're absolutely correct, good point. What's it take, 5 milliamps to disrupt your heart rhythm?

 

Something like that.

Super glad the HV supplies i worked with were usually capable of microamps I got bit alot.

 

i get bit by distributors....

 

How often do you see distributors at work? I figured anything that old would've rust through by now

 

Actually, deeper than that.

They are nocturnal, and during the day, they bury themselves up to their eyes.

It's to cool off as they're normally found in tropical areas where it can get hot and humid; being that they're cold blooded...they need to work on maintaining a certain temperature.

It's not uncommon for them to bury themselves a good foot or two underground to stay within certain temperatures either.

Being that it's still very young, he's eating 1-2 crickets a day, with a cricket being powdered up in Calcium and D3 every 2 days. They're voracious eaters (like my old L. Parahybana), but since it's still getting used to its new home, I have to dangle a cricket with tongs just to feed it.

 

That is so cool!


Do you have to maintain a jungle biome in his tank?

 

not common.. but the 93 4runner got me REALLY good.. left marks

 

I just mist the surface of the dirt with the same 99 cent spray bottle I've used for my tarantula's, and provide 2 hides (one on each end).

A water dish isn't required but I have a shallow one to maintain a little more humidity.

 

No heat lamp?

 

I put a allen key into a disconnect to remove it not realizing I didn’t deenergize it first. De energized the wrong one

 

Oh yes, heat pad in one corner under the tank.

Creates a nice temperature gradient going from one hide to the next.

 

Oof, that'll smart

 

I’ve shocked myself with outlets a few times through one finger through another o the same hand but the worst shock I ever felt was when I was jerry rigging an electric fly swatted to do thinks it shouldn’t ands I sent a shock through one hand to another. I’m a lot more careful now

 

It scared me more then anything. Didn’t hurt as bad as I thought it would

 

Since you finally got those measurements

Any way I can request a specific battery post, or something different that'll offer the option to add another cable for say...a winch or something?
