I replaced all plastic pots with these ridiculously cheap terracotta pots (3/1$ at Dollarama).
I decided to try out Ludey's light and it works and didn't explode in my face like I thought it would (for no reason actually) and turned his heater up a bit. I cannot gauge what's happening with his tail because it doesn't look like rot, he flares now and puffs out his dragon beard at the mirror for exercise. I got my new order of IAL so his water is pretty tanned now overnight. Finally, Ludendorff is coming around!! Only a month and a half has passed for his amazing breakthrough!
Bowser, harvesting the java fern. All these little pieces have grown since I bought the plant back when I bought Bowser actually

wow, I just realised I bought Bowser and the plant together!! lol So all these pieces are growing fine, I'm going to keep some for him and Ludey and then give some to my sister :) I'm super excited when my plants grow!! I always try and fail to grow things for long. I do well with herbs for myself and bunny but now I can add java to that list!!

lol
