I'm in Panama City near the gulf so it does get that cold during the winter but its in the morning or night. It gets warm during the day. I guess I could put them outside in a safe place at night when its cold then bring them back in before it gets hot in the daytime. Otherwise i guess they...

I'm going to order some phoenix worms since Tang is being picky and doesnt want his supers anymore. He has some horns but I want to give him variety. Anyways I emailed phoenixworm.com and they said they will last the longest if kept at 50 degrees. I'm pretty sure the fridge is colder than...

Well I ordered some hornworms and it turns out Tang is just being picky and doesnt want superworms anymore. I put a hornworm in front of him and he gobbled it up. Then I put a superworm and he turned his nose at it and backed up like he was saying "you expect me to eat that crap?" Now i just...

Its like kinda bumpy, it's got little indents in it. I took an up close pic of it:

I love it! Tang seems to love it too. It's so easy to clean! It's pretty light weight also for the size. The glass doors tilt out to make it easier to clean and transport also. I made this platform for him out of styrafoam and grout. He goes underneath it to sleep most the time or just...

I use the 100 Watt SB Mega-Ray: http://www.reptileuv.com/megaray-sb-100-watt-self-ballasted-flood-uvb-lamp.php I use a Zoo Med Black Deluxe 10 in Brooder Lamp for Reptiles for the Mega-Ray: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Deluxe-Brooder-Lamp-Reptiles/dp/B0002DIWWS I use a Reptile Lamp Stand to...

I just have a Mega-Ray and two regular non UVB producing tubes. The ones you use in the kitchen or garage, they just give off light. With the Mega-Ray you don't need any other means of UVB.

I have one of the showcase cages and it's made of High-Density Polyethylene Plastic and it doesnt give off any fumes. The lights sit on or above smooth, rust-proof aluminum mesh so the plastic doesnt get hot. Not sure about the animal plastics cages though.

I don't have one but I bought a cage from http://www.showcasecages.com/ that I love. Tang has the 5 X 2 X 2 sandstone one which is a little pricey but I'm glad I got it. They have smaller ones that will do just fine for cheaper prices. Sometimes they have ones that are discounted because they...

I use Mega-Ray bulbs. I always keep an extra one on standby in case the first goes out so I don't have to worry about waiting for one to ship. Tang's cage is 5 X 2 X 2. I have the Mega-Ray on the left side of his cage over his basking platform. I also have 2 - 4' long regular UV bulbs going...

I use indented Kraft paper. I buy it on 2' X 300' rolls for $16.12 each. Tang's cage is 5' x 2' so one roll lasts me a long time. I put a piece that covers half the cage then another piece that goes on the other half and they overlap a little. I end up only changing one side because he only...

I use a MegaRay which I got in April.

Tang hasnt eaten any superworms in the last 3 weeks. He eats some of his greens every other day or so. He is only pooping like once a week in these last 3 weeks. He seems to be acting normal otherwise. He walks around his cage and goes to different places to thermoregulate like usual. When...
