LOL i love when they look @ you with that tilted head one-eyed glare. They look at you like "really??? seriously? Im bathing here..." lol Looking at our guppy tank is one of Miss' favorite past times. She loves the fish when we take a drive up to the pet store too. We always spen about 10 mins...

Since I used to use a 10 gal for my crickets I just threw in 2 papertowel tubes & left them in there. They like dark places so I had more than enough in a tube for a feed. I blocked one side w my hand & just shook them into a ziplock to dust n dump in.

Ive tried it 3 different ways & this one is the best. When I had to do the cricket thing i put them in a 10 gal aquarium w a sparse layer of aspen shreds @ the bottom. It helped w the smell & health of the crickets. The bathtub was the easiest catch all there is. Just give a few shipments &...

I dont know who you purchased through, but Mulberry farms usually sends a mix of brown & black crickets. The black ones are bigger & grow bigger than the brown. Miss always enjoyed them more when she was into crickets. They crawl more like spider & the brown ones hop. The black were tougher...

Thanks so much for all the information. I really appreciate it. If this forum has taught me anything its that general information is definitely not optimal or appropriate care for reptiles. Im looking now at different breeders recommended by the forum you directed me too. Love the new pics of...

Cilantro is good for an occasional feed. I just use it as a mix in now & again to peak Miss' interest. She goes through very jags like a kid. She would only eat mustard greens, then dandelion, now its turnip greens. Sometimes she seems sick of it all...thats when i add a bit of cilantro. It...

That's very cool that you could get him and enclosure that big. :) I'd be happy if I were him too. Thanks for the website information. I'm definitely a person who lets the animal children run during the day, but a snake is a bit different. You can let them out, but not so much allow them to run...

Havoc is looking as handsome as ever :) his colors are looking brighter after his shed. I have two questions for you. 1) how big is his home? I love the hide, but i dont know if i could keep Miss' basking spot, slab, & a hide. Shes in a 40 now but i would like to get her a 60 soon. 2) i know...

Yeah...be careful with them getting lose or keeping them in the bin along with the crickets. I live in Az & we had to keep the cricket bins in the house during the summer. Obviously my son didn't take me seriously about them. I still have beatles flying around my house from time to time. Ive...

You can try mixing in a bit of cilantro if you havent done that yet. You can also try dusting the greens with calcium & vitamins. My girl eats more greens if i do either or.

LOL! I have no doubt. Whenever i put in her dish of geeens, Miss still gives me that look like "I know that's not all you're giving me" LOL. On protein days the vet said to still follow the as much as they'll eat in 15 mins rule. All i can say is...the girl CHOWS!

I think the revised schedule looks good :) Miss stopped eating crickets when she turned 1. She would turn her head on them...lol Now she eats hornworms, butterworms, supers, & dubia. I give her greens daily & proteins twice a week like the vet told me to her last visit, but she really still is a...

She is big, but older than yours. Miss is 15 mos old. Around 20 in or so & weighed 726g before she decided to sleep away the last few months. Im sure she weighs a bit less now, but the way she eats she'll be packin on a few oz...lol

Hi. It's been forever I know. Hope all is well with everyone. It's just been plain busy around here and I haven't taken time to post, just lurk. :) Miss came out of brumation a few weeks ago. She's back to eating like a pig. The vet had her cut back to two feedings of protein per week just...

My dragon is completely mellow. But my son's is a nut!! He's super hyper. He does the same, runs laps, is all over the place. When you hold him he looks all around, turning his head so fast that we joke he has ADHD...lol He's a jumper, too. We really have to watch him and his body language...
