Reply #1: I'm having my 2nd cataract operation early next week. I will NOT have laptop or other online access from this coming Sunday through Wednesday!!! The circle thermometer in your picture seems to be an ANALOG thermometer. Analog thermometers are often very inaccurate! In 2023 I bought...

I've never kept Nephrurus. I love their horizontal strips!

Is this Nephrurus a newbie or an adult?
