Australian shepherd or border collie?

So we are moving to a bigger place hopefully with a massive garden but we will also be building an outhouse/granny flat for me to live in with my cats and a room for reptiles/aquariums (maybe some hedgehogs we will see) (there will be a lock on the door) but then theres going to be the main massive room that will have a bunch of cat beds/toys/climbing equipment and dog toys/beds etc as im starting a pet care business (have been pet sitting for over a year now but on rover not my own business)

My dog is temperamental and she was supposed to be staying with my dad but we found out we would never be able to afford to leave him :/ so is it a bad idea to get a high energy working dog if the dog will be staying with me in the granny flat, she will have complete access to the big garden at all times and will be taken for 2-3 hour walks daily around fields/woods as well as hikes, i have done loads of research and can provide the proper care and stimulation working dogs need.

The main question i have is which? Australian shepherd or border collie, i love both of them but every one around me has different opinions, my nan had a border collie so i do have experience with them but i just cant decide.

I also do plan on building a shallow little pond and having ducks, would either breed eat or attack said future ducks or just try herd them?

And i have 4 cats is that okay with these breeds?

That is a lot of questions sorry but any help would be super super appreciated

Transporting

So when i got my mourning geckos the guy kept pushing me to get more and more and more geckos (told me i could have 10 in a 30x30x45 but then again he was a snake breeder than breeds them in those fuckass trays so i should of known)

i wanted 3 and ended up with 5 in a 30x30x60 and i want to move them to a 45x45x60 but 1 they have laid 4 eggs and i can see another is pregnant and 2 it would be impossible to get them in their enclosure so does any one know of a way i can get them all into a bigger enclosure (im still building the enclosure im just preparing)

Safe to use?

This is for my cat who has a scratch on his eye that caused an ulcer, it was left out of the fridge in my room for between 3-4 hours
My room is quite cold maybe around 16°c maybe less probably but ive put it back in the fridge, is it still safe to use??

The growth 🤩

Philodendron micans is probably my favourite plant and i gotta see more people use them in vivs!

I made this in late February

What is this?

Google says its a praying mantis egg case, is it? And if it is will they hatch or is this damaged?

Ive look after mantids before so dont worry i know how to care for them if so!

i just saw an ant in the living room where i have 7 bioactive vivariums all with geckos in them, does this mean they could possibly be in one of the enclosures or are going to start going in them??
