Living here in New England and we're in the beginning of a heat wave (4-7 days it looks like.) If I was to turn my BD basking lights (which is also the UVB its a MV bulb) on the room they are in would end up being 115+. If I leave it off it still gets to 85+. My question is if I leave the lights...

Well, in the end I had to put top soil,coco husk and moss mix. I didn't want to do that just yet until I moved it to it's permanent enclosure( I still need alittle play sand for that one) but it's been pooping and eating pretty good and paper towels with moss in the hide just wasn't cutting it...

I just got a baby Blue Tongue and actually got one that needs higher humidity than I was expecting. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to keep the humidity higher besides spraying 3-4 times a day? I work evenings 1-10est. I'm trying to find the best fogger or mister without spending a...

I've had mine for about a year now and I still rarely see her. I was told that a hidden skink is a happy skink. Only time I see her is when she's hungry (2-4 times a week) I have about 3 inches of substrate with plants, hide and water dish.

Sadly, I got it at a pet store (not going to bash the store) and the manager (who has knowledge of most reptiles) wasn't 100% on the full care on them. They only have general care sheets in store.

Back on Oct.22, I bought these 2 tiny little skinks called orange throat pygmy skinks. There was four in the tank but I only had a 10g. I couldn't find anything on them in particular. So, I contacted my friend at the store and she told me they were labeled with the sci. name of trachylepis...

We ended up getting the watering can and the jungle bedding. I blocked a few of the holes so it's more like rain and the floor humidity is staying a lot nicer (about 62-68%) I actually had another question. Is there a way to tell if its a male or female with only having one? Not having another...

I was talking to my son about the cup idea he asked if a watering can with a rain tip on it would be good. something like this: http://www.gardeners.com/buy/french-blue-plastic-watering-can-3-gallon/06-341.html

I haven't tried anything besides crickets and a few supers. I didn't realize the other worms or the eggs until I had read another post you made with someone else. I am using the 40g breeder I had originally bought for my BD but never used because someone gave me a 50g front opening tank. A...
