What is the rule of thumb of what size horn worms and silkworms. My horn worms have gotten big, too big I think. I'm not sure what to do with them. Also, a lot of my dubia are too big. What do people do when these bugs get too big for their dragon?
Post pic of the dragon and the horn worm and the roach -- typically a full size dragon can eat large/ extra large dubias --- horn worms can out grow and full size dragon lots of people will cut them in half its up to you -- silk worms dont get real big and a full size dragon can eat a regular size silk they and the horn worms are really soft
Hi Karrie,
Ok your screen is it a fine mesh like a screen door or a wide holed type?
It’s a zen habitat screen so I think fairly wide
ok it needs to go in the tank ---- please use this to hang it w/ GE 15 ft. Cable Ties, Hook and Loop Spool, Black-10375 - The Home Depot
Thanks so much for that info! Another question that I had is that I bought a new piece of decor. It’s sort of an upside down U shape. Different areas on this new decor are different temperatures and in a couple of spots it is over 110°. Is that OK will he just be able to go to the areas that are the temperature he needs or should I try moving it around to get the entire thing so it’s All under 110°?
You can try they will sit where it's more comfortable and will move
Okay, so basically they are smart enough not to stay on a part that is too hot and overheat?
I just want to be sure before I put it in because I realised I did not tell you before it is a Arcadia T5 HO 12% Bulb, I just noticed there is also one that is not HO, so I wanted to double check with you. Thanks!
Get the HO
I have the HO, but just wanted to double check if 12-15 inch distance from the basking spot is the correct distance for the HO bulb?
Yes inside tank for a fine screen mesh if it's a wide holed type it can sit on top 8-10 inches- directly above the basking decor for both placements
Ok thanks! Do you think that the way his beard is sort of bulbous is normal?
