Baby Shower Games and Activities
Who Can Make The Mommy-To-Be's Baby?
(Materials: Baby Magazines, Scissors, Glue Sticks, Paper)
Divide your guests into groups 3 and give each group 3 baby magaizines (you can get these for free, usually, at local pediatrician offices or even the local hospital). Have them cut out pictures of different baby parts (eyes, ears, hair, smile, body, feet, etc.) and put together a picture of what they think mommy's baby will look like. Have the Mommy-To-Be judge the final results based off of what she thinks the bundle of joy will resemble. Give prizes to the winning team. This is a lot of fun and a really popular (yet not overdone) baby shower game!
Letters to The Baby
As the guests walk to the table (or designated location)where the gifts are being placed.....have a special station set up on the side of the gift table. At this station have cute baby themed stationary laid out with some nice pens. Beside the stationary have a card out asking each guest to take a few moments to write a note to the new baby. When the guests have finished writing their notes, have a tray or basket provided to place them in. Once all the guests have written their notes....the hostess can then choose one or two, at random, to be chosen for a prize (this could be your shower's door prize). When the shower is over these notes can be placed in a scrapbook or album to be enjoyed by the parents now and by the baby years down the road. Sweet and sentimental and sure to be treasured by the new family!!!
How Many Diapers in the Diaper Cake?
If you have chosen to have a diaper cake at the baby shower, play a fun game where guests guess how many diapers are in the cake! Make sure your diaper cake provider tells you how many diapers they used (so you don't have to try and count them all yourself!). Better yet, order your cake from Diaper Cakes by Becca and the amount of diapers will be listed on the "recipe" included along with your diaper cake (and we always try to make it a random, not-easy-to-guess number!)! The guest that gets closest to the actual number wins a prize.
Baby Shower Bingo (a classic favorite!)
(Materials: Bingo Templates *see below* and pens or markers)
1) Print out a few more Bingo template cards than you think you will need.
2) Fill in the blank squares with registry items and common baby shower gifts (ie: diapers)
3) Distribute a Bingo Card and Pen/Marker to each guest at the baby shower
4) As the parents-to-be open their gifts the guests will mark their cards if they have it on there.
5) Whoever gets a completed row horizontally, vertically or diagonally will win a prize!

help baby savana monitor?
Pedro
can i keep it warm with just a heat pad. its a 10 gallon tank
Answer
The very simple basics for savs ~
~large custom enclosure (minimum 4x4x2)
~2 feet of diggable substrate (DIRT)
~A basking spot that achieves a surface temp of AT LEAST 130F (aim for 135 or so)
A 10g is not even a good starter enclosure for a sav. Heat pads are useless in a proper set-up. Invest now in the proper enclosure and husbandry equipment rather than having to continually upgrade to finally get to the proper enclosure. Here's a link to some great enclosures that are actually relatively cheap and work great ~
http://www.proexotics.com/FAQ2.html#lizard_monitorhousing
Read through all the lizard FAQs, it's got some great advice. Be aware that most monitor info online is crap. Before using any suggested husbandry read through the entire care sheet or article and see if all of the other info is any good.
EDIT: Posted my response before I read through your other questions. Take the monitor back and get a leopard gecko. You need A LOT more experience before taking on a monitor. Do research and get ahold of local keepers, visit them and observe how to care for a sav properly... Even better, volunteer with a reptile rescue. I work with one and I think that volunteers coming in and learning from hands-on experience is great, it means that I probably won't end up with one of their lizards later on because they know what they are getting into beforehand.
EDIT (AGAIN): VARANID ~ Thanks for catching my mistake on the size thing. ~ooops!!~ Am taking breaks from studying for PSYC and SOC tests by coming to Y!A, feeling a lil fried. :-) Posted a great size enclosure for a beardie, not monitors.
My ackies are doing amazing!! And yes, I'll be dealing with eggs soon. :~) Didn't even think about breeding conditions and dirt temps when answering this question.... Just pictured an enclosure that someone was trying to heat with only a UTH (have actually seen that one more than once in rescues!!). Thanks for your clarifications.
