Finished this masterpiece today and im very proud of it

I still need 2 more hides and leaf litter + lighting + isopods and spring tails

Thermostats were on the ground in the dirt so humidity reading is inaccurate

My boa mr mustache has been struggling with mites for about a 2 months now and despite how much ive been trying to make him better nothing is working, my ball python got mites as well but shes been better for a while, he hasnt. I dont know what to do and he is extremely weak and sick. I think he got some sort of disease from the mites. He wont digest his food, gets bloated, and started prolapsing, he lost so much weight and ive taken him to the vet, he got medicine there and nothing has improved. I feel like my only option now is to pit him down. I got him as a Christmas gift from petco and it's starting to show, i feel like i failed him despite my efforts and i just dont know what to do now.

Ive never seen marigold so fired up, i will definitely be taking him/her outside much more!

I got 2 mice to add to my group of 4, I quarantined the new ones for 4 weeks, then i introduced everyone in a tiny 2 gallon carrier with 1 hide for 1 day (at first no hide), then i put them in a large bucket with 2 hides for 3 days. During all of this there was no fighting, no squeaking, and no aggression, only snuggle piles. I reintroduced them to a fully cleaned and rearranged enclosure, it has so much clutter you cannot see the substrate, and multiple food bowls+water sources. Despite all of this all i have heard today is sqeaking from only 1 mouse and lots of scuttling. Is this just them setting a social hierarchy or is something seriously wrong? One of my new mice keeps being very aggressive towards me as well, everytime my hand is in the enclosure everyone else is happy to greet me but she lunges at me to bite me. Her bites dont hurt, just a little startling, im pretty used to nibbles since one of my previous mice usually does that to feel around my hand. I just want to make sure im being a responsible mouse parent, i love my babies and they get the best i can give them!

I attached a video of their enclosure

I know that this is 100% NOT worth $100, but this poor gecko is clearly not living a very good life. I want to help them and give them the proper care they deserve but I would have to convince my mom to let me put a 40 gallon tank somewhere in her house that isnt my room. I have over 10 enclosures in my room and there is no chance i can squeeze another in here!! I will negotiate price, i just feel so bad for this baby.

I randomly checked to see if she was ovulating or not and i swear she is but i dont want to be quick to assume, another opinion would be appreciated! Sorry for the bad angle, i didnt want her to be in the container very long.

I have another plant to put in here if this is unsafe but i thought i would check first, i dont have uvb but i ordered one and its on its way! This is a grow out tank, im planning on getting the full sized one in a couple weeks :)

This is my 3rd remodel, they used to be in a tub from previous owners, then their new large enclosure but with about 2 inches of bedding, and finally this! I ordered more branches, a divider for a dirt corner, and some bird perch ropes that will go across the entire enclosure for more climbing and clutter! Im planning on getting more hides but im not entirely sure what else I can use for clutter. Currently i have a food bowl with oxbow pellets which i also seldomly scatter throughout the enclosure as well as a mix of seeds and dried fruits + some other things for scavenging and a varied diet (dandelion as very occasional treat + safe fruits/veggies)
