How to get Pacman out of unexpected estivation

I had been feeding my pacman regularly with temps and humidity at appropriate levels for the time of year, and decided to stop digging up my pacman for meals just for a week.

Two days in he hadnt surfaced, and by the weeks end he hadn't come out at all, so I went to dig him up and discovered he was covered in a yellowy skin, mostly unresponsive, and I'm pretty sure hes gone in estivation.

It's been a week now of 78-80f temps and keeping his tank humidity above 60 as I read online, to simulate a rainy season.

I'm afraid of digging to see if hes still in hibernation because I dont want to stress him out needlessly.

What do I do?

TIL that the West African lungfish can survive up to 3.5 years without food or water. It has been around for 400 million years & their gills have evolved to obtain oxygen from the air as well as water. During estivation they get nutrients by digests its muscle tissue & can go on for years! worldatlas.com/articles/w…

Snail estivation info?

can anybody provide me with online sources that go deeper into snail estivation? (more specifically milk snails) I read this source, https://petsnails.proboards.com/thread/13573/wake-estivating-snails where it says snail estivate regularly and other sources say they estivate because they aren’t comfortable with their environment.

My frog hasn’t eaten in 3 weeks, I think he’s an estivation . Temp on the hot side is 82-84 , cool side is 74-76 . Humidity is 60-80%. Is it safe to hurry him out to feed him? Is my setup ok? It’s a 10 gallon for a 8 month male. I recently changed his enclosure about a week ago to this one.

Rough time frame for Vinegaroon hibernation or estivation

Hey all, my vinnie, (m. Giganteus) has sealed herself off in her burrow in April and hasn't surfaced since. I keep T's and Scorps so I know it likely means a molt but I've also heard that they seal themselves off for hibernation, and was wondering if they estivate too? I just wanted to get other keepers experiences with this type of thing.

Snail Estivation

Hello everyone!

My helix pomatia hasn’t been eating as much as usual, and he’s been wanting to burrow in the soil more. Usually I take him out after a day to feed him. Buuuuuut, I left him alone for a week (because I’m a bad mom :-( but he did have available fresh food in his tank!) and he burrowed himself in the soil. Today I decided to dig him up, and he had closed himself off from the world! I guess he wanted to hibernate because it was getting a bit cold for him. So I put him back in his spot and put some soil back on him. But now I hear some little cracks of the dry mucus breaking, so i guess I disturbed him :-(

If he does this again and tries to estivate, should I let him be ?

O senhorio pode-se recusar a retirar mobília da casa se esta não estiver a ser utilizada?

Boa tarde. Estou numa casa arrendada há quase 2 anos. A casa tem 2 quartos mas como só vivo eu e o meu namorado só utilizamos um deles com finalidade de quarto, o outro é onde tenho as coisas do meu gato. A mobília que estava no quarto extra, desmontei e guardei na dispensa. No entanto ocupa muito espaço na dispensa e hoje pedi ao senhorio se podia vir recolher a mobília pois preciso do espaço da dispensa. O senhorio recusou-se e ficou muito chateado, diz que não tem espaço para colocar a mobília e que vai enviar uma carta registada para abandonar a casa (isto tudo aos berros e muito hostil). Alguém sabe se eu não tenho o direito de pedir para retirar alguma mobília que não utilize? Desde já, obrigada.

Estive pensando aqui: Como será a passagem da faixa presidencial em 01/01/2023?

Bolsonaro vai perder, não tenho dúvidas disso (até porque Deus é brasileiro e não quer um desajustado/louco/demente como ele governando o país por mais 4 anos), e aí fiquei pensando como será a cerimonia de passagem da faixa presidencial e me ocorreu algumas ideias do que pode ocorrer, se caso o vencedor for o Lula.

Ideia 1 - Bolsonaro come camarão de novo e Carluxo posta uma foto dele no hospital (de novo)?
Ideia 2 - Manda um dos ministros entregar a faixa?
Ideia 3 - Faz um vídeo dando uma desculpa qualquer pra não comparecer?

Eaí, o que acham que o Bolsonaro vai fazer??

Independente do que aconteça, não perco esse cerimonia de posse por nada!! hehehehe
