This post will irritate a certain person but BBblue if you look at right hand side of your screen you will see when the thread was started . This one was march of 2008 .

I should have said ā€œplankā€.

Looks like English to me…

Nobody seems to have said this in 17 years, but the mechanic should have done the emissions test prior to disconnecting the battery for the battery terminal replacement and resetting the readiness monitors.

Agreed

Or make sure the readiness monitors have completed, use a 12v memory saver, replace the battery and then smog it

$500 for four strut replacement with labor, that is a steal! Do it.

Did you even read this 17 year old thread?

Some Monitor Lizards are sold as pets, yes they get quite big. Iguanas, now illegal to sell in Florida get really big.

We had a Black Throat Monitor for a pet years ago, very cool and neat pet, used to take it to the kids games, would carry it around on our shoulder, also had a harness for it to walk it on a lease… High maintenance animals though… It also loved bath time, pretty smart as well…

The ex wife had a 6 footer that was trained to kennel, it would also crawl up in your lap and pay it’s head on your shoulder and fall asleep… lol

We have a bearded dragon. Basically a lizard cat. Likes to stare out the windows…

Bearded Dragons do seem inquisitive.

The ex’s Monitor would run to the door anytime someone would knock on it, used to scare the Heck out of people when you opened the door… :laughing:

Had Red Bellied Piranhas back in the day too… Would hand feed them raw meat… IF NOT sick or hungry, they would come up to the top of the tank and you could pet them…

when I was a teen, I had a red belly Pacu (in the piranha family} I had it in a 40 gal. long tank. I use to feed it live goldfish.

It got to about 12 inches and was out growing the tank. It hated when the heater light came on at night. It would swim around the tank and whip the heater with its tail and break the heater glass. I don’t know how it never got electrocuted. After going through 4-5 heaters, I took it to the local pet store and they put it in their big display tank.

I think that is what Dave had.

I have seen black Pacu (harmless) when snorkeling in FL springs, lots of non native fish and reptiles down here. Our native green tree frogs are gone, eaten by Cuba tree frogs, same with our native green anoles.

No sir, Dave had (real lol) Red Bellied Piranhas NOT Pacu’s…

They would eat through the hard shell of a large crawdad like it was soft butter.. Mouth full of VERY sharp teeth, just ask my ex wife…
Remember this part???

The ex put her hand in the tank when one was sick or something and got bit, she jerked her hand back out rather fast while missing some skin afterwards, that is what a mouth full of razer sharp teeth do to you and how they can bite/tear through skin…
2 of them went through 3 dozen minnows every few days, or overnight if we put the minnows in the breading net, they would eat through the net and eat all 36 minnows overnight, had to keep the food in another tank until feeding time…

The Piranhas would eat any fish etc we put in the tank, except for one, mudskippers (IIRC) were the only thing we ever put in the tank that they couldn’t catch… It would take a few day before they would eat…

A buddy of mine around the same time had multiple tanks, he had Pacu’s, sharks etc etc etc, fresh water tanks, salt water tanks, So I do know what a Pacu is…
