First time I’ve ever seen her constrict a prey item fully… she’s a good ‘lil noodle.

Adding bee pollen to their salad was a massive success! Plato loves it!

I bought a flour shaker to shake it over her salad, and I had to blend the bee pollen up since the lumps were pretty large.

Plato’s new 72x24x24” enclosure!

I’m waiting for her custom basking area/cave slate to come, which will go on the far right there.

Both heat lamps are on separate dimming thermostats to maintain the temperature gradient (the left one is set to be slightly cooler than the one on the right).

All together the whole thing weighs around 135kg! There’s 70kg worth of substrate (a sand/soil mix), plus the vivarium is 50kg itself (going by the shipping weights and subtracting the weight of the packaging), plus Plato’s furniture.

It’s by far the largest reptile enclosure I’ve ever owned.

Buyer successfully claimed under Simple Delivery due to packaging damage (item was fine), is this what eBay has come to?

I sold a Google TV Streamer last week and today the buyer opened a "damaged in transit" request... because the outer box was damaged.

The item was completely fine, and they were successful in their claim too- I spoke to eBay because I didn't agree with the claim (the buyer essentially scammed eBay and got away with it) and was told:

>Congratulations, I'm going to close the case in your favour, and refund the buyer as well. But, do not worry, this refund is coming from eBay's pocket. So, neither your funds, nor your seller performance is being affected. The funds on hold will be released within 24 hours.

Is this what buyers are doing now?

I get making a Simple Delivery claim where the item was damaged, but the packaging? Packaging is designed to get a bit bumped in transit, claiming under Simple Delivery because the outer packaging took a beating is quite ludicrous to say the least.

To be clear: it was the outer packaging that had the shipping label etc. on it.

The eBay user ID was top_notch_buyers.

She tolerates me, and then tells me she’s had enough by sticking her tongue out!

Yes I know that beardies can only tolerate (and not like) being pet, Plato tolerates me all the same. I think it’s cute when she tells me she’s had enough by doing a tongue flick.

She escaped for a second time, shame her!

(I accidentally left her enclosure open a peek and she took full advantage of that)

My beardie doesn't know what's coming next week...

Going from a 120x45x60cm enclosure to a 190x60x60cm enclosure!

​

It'll have essentially 2x what they have now in terms of UVB fixtures and heat lamps.

Broken Pixel 10 Pro Fold Grip Stand

I'll preface this to state that this was completely my fault, the stand got caught on my jeans when I was taking it out of my pocket and came off (at the moment I'm not looking for a replacement from dbrand because it was 100% my fault!).

This Grip is new (it arrived last week) and the break is clean (there's no shearing).

The metal brackets that were pushed into the plastic moulding came out with the stand, I can push the stand back in but it comes back off when I pull it out to use it.

Would super glue suffice to re-secure the stand to the Grip (or could that cause damage to the Grip)? Alternatively, is this damage expected even given it was accidental damage on my part?
