I'm glad you've come up with a good solution.

Well, the excess water has to have somewhere to go. I mean, I'm of the opinion that it's better to water a little too much than too little.

I forgot about the clay balls! I couldn't find any locally for a decent price which is why I went with the rocks. I'll try the trap for the crickets. I'm already planning on how to do it. :) Oh! What was really cool today! I was on the phone with my girlfriend and we were talking about...

When you set up your bioactive you want it to be as natural as possible for both your beardie and your cleanup crew so you can't have it too dry. For that reason you probably don't want reptibark as your bottom layer since that's to be your drainage layer. I'd recommend rocks so that when the...

Taterbug, no, the succulents bit the dust. York kept stepping on them and lying on them so I've been looking for something a little more hardy for in there. I was thinking a ponytail palm, but I haven't done the research yet to see if it's safe for him if he decides to nibble on the leaves.

Thanks, mudskipper! The humidity level hovers around 40% or so, give or take. The isopods and springtails are thriving, and in fact the population has boomed and I see them about all the time. There are also some pinhead crickets in there (probably from when a couple crickets got free during...

Thanks, everyone. It's heartbreaking but I can feel good about the fact that she didn't die unloved, hungry, too hot or cold, or dirty.

Thank you all for your help. Priscilla passed this morning.

I hope it goes well, too. Her tank is probably being kept at about 75 - 77 degrees at night. How would I warm her tank without leaving the lights on? I have some kind of under tank heater that I used when I was trying to grow Phoenix worms but I'm not sure how to use something like that for a...

I'm a little worried now and going to take Priscilla to the vet on Friday, I think. She's looking pretty dehydrated again, and she's been pooping a lot. Since the other day when she had a hard time and had the bad poo she's been going twice a day. She's also coughing a little bit, which is...

I'll be sticking with soft foods for a while just because she's in such bad shape and I don't want to tax her system. Once I see that she's starting to act more normal and look better I'll start to slowly add some solid foods in. I know it's going to take quite a bit of time before she's...

Priscilla is doing a little bit better and she's starting to look better, as well. She's not as badly dehydrated and it's showing in her skin on her body. She's still fighting me when I feed her but it seems she doesn't hate it as much, or maybe I'm just getting better at it. She spent the...

She's walking around! She's very weak and wobbly, but she's moving around her tank!
