I'm having an issue and my girlfriend is not happy. I have a 20 gallon Rubbermaid roach bin and the roaches have been escaping. She finds them everywhere and she says I can no longer have them, I don't want to deny my beardie these yummy treats. How can I keep them from escaping?

My beardie has been doing a lot of hiding and digging for the past 3 months. Her appetite is not what it used to be either. I just moved 3 months ago and at first she was fine than she stopped eating. Temps and humidity levels are where they should be and she is atleast 9 months old. She is very...

What about night time?

I use an electronic hydrometer/thermometer, and it is inside the enclosure on the cool side.

Now that it is getting closer to summer the humidity in my beardie's enclosure is getting dangerously high. As of today it's at 51%, what can I do to fix this? I was thinking about purchasing a little computer fan and connect it to a 9v battery to hopefully suck the humidity out, would that work?

I'm setting up my breeder tank and in order to mount the lights on the inside I custom made a lid out of a 1×6 shelf and the rest is screen. Is this safe to use or should I be concerned about fumes?

Since I'm covering about half the opening with a 1x6 board I shouldn't need too high of a wattage bulb.

I'm setting up my 40 gal tank and wanted opinions. I purchased a 24" T5 reptisun and to mount it on the inside of the tank I was planning on mounting it to a 1x6 along with a ceramic light socket. Then make a custom frame to put screen in the left over space. Also any recommendations on bulb...

Can someone help me with wiring an extension cord to a ceramic light fixture for my heat bulb the RIGHT/SAFE way? I'm also debating on tying in a dimmer switch.

How about for the fixture?

So a 24" bulb for both should be plenty? Ideas on where to find a T5 fixture? The ones I've found are expensive
