    Cricket set-up question about specific screen(s)

    Thanks, Baldwin :D . I do have the metal wiring and I think it's in the same spot as the fiberglass stuff at most Walmarts. I just didn't want to have to use it if I didn't have to lol, I think the fiberglass is easier to work with. I'm using the Sterilite brand as well, and in the past hadn't...

    Cricket set-up question about specific screen(s)

    Hi, I'm in the middle of a cricket breeding project/trial...I've done it before about 5 years ago, had good results but I never got around to following through with it lol. So, I'm good on the process part, hopefully- and have eggs incubating now. My question is screen/ventilation related...

    Blood in stool

    Hi again, Glad Tracie's watching this one :D . I bet she'll have a few more ideas about the blood in the bowel movement even with the calcium in normal ranges. Maybe it's from some damage before you got him? I'm throwing out a guess there. Poor guy with the trouble getting the blood :( ...

    Blood in stool

    Hi there, I'm not entirely sure what could be going on, but want to ask a few more questions and get this bumped up, too. How old is he? Is the blood in the feces (brown part) or in the urates (white)? Or are you able to tell at all? I guess, where exactly are you seeing the blood? I...

    age and size..is this normal??

    Hi there, I'm sorry I disappeared for awhile there (lots going on with Kaira and stuff). How's the new enclosure going? Did you get anymore answers about the other questions you had? Regular household bulbs do work in smaller tanks. I use a combination for heat depending on the time of...

    Hornworms...where? Help please

    Thank you both for the replies :) I had to hurry this time around to get my order in before the normal Wednesday cut-offs, so I did already place an order this time. :oops: But Linda- I do plan to be needing more, as I truly hope and anticipate the bright color will bring Kaira out of her...

    Hornworms...where? Help please

    Hi everyone, I haven't ordered hornworms in quite awhile and I'm wondering where everyone buys online now and where you may recommend??? I'm in Kansas, but realize shipping is going to be pretty expensive regardless to get them to me this time of year. The suppliers I've used before are...

    Shedding then not shedding?

    That's great! :blob5: :blob8: :blob5: :blob8: I'm glad it finally shed and there weren't any problems underneath :D . It's possible they may continue to be a bit more complex...and while I can say that the older the get, the less they shed, I feel the sheds are "tougher" as they get...

    age and size..is this normal??

    Hi, I'll respond to that last one first, real quick. I don't know much about the solar glo or powersun. If you choose to try the tube type (only UVB/UVA rays, not heat) ReptiSun 10.0 linear tube bulbs are recommended (not a coil, it's a fluorescent tube-like bulb that's good). Also...

    humidity issues

    Hi again, Sorry I never got back to the other post, but I will check back on that (my mom had just been telling me that there is a chance my grandma has cancer again-in a bit of shock and definitely daze-but thinking about other things is extremely helpful at the moment- but it side-tracked me...

    humidity issues

    Hi, Sorry this post wasn't caught...it's a bit of a health concern which may get more attention to put it in the Health section next time (just so questions like this get an answer :) ) Humidity is debatable, but I'm in Kansas and do understand the high humidity issues (especially this year)...

    Shedding then not shedding?

    I was just typing a response back when you posted those, which changed a lot of what I was thinking. It was the camera angle. The toe doesn't look swollen itself, it does look like shed. It's taking a bit longer, but those pics show no indication of gout or injury issues IMO :D I did see...

    age and size..is this normal??

    Hi there, This does vary greatly from beardie to beardie. Does she have a tail nip at all? This happens a lot when they are babies, siblings think it's food or they are crowded and get a bit aggressive. Kaira has a slight tail nip and at 5 yrs old I think she's under 18" long (been awhile...

    Shedding then not shedding?

    Hi there, I'll try lol...I do agree with what's been said though. But, I'll ask a few more questions and share my experience too. :D I saw the slight swelling too, but looking more closely I'm curious as to how long the nail is on that toe and the inner toe, thumb I guess it would be, are...

    Lack of shedding bad?

    Hi there! :) Based on your growth chart (nice job, btw, I did that when mine were babies) they both seem to be growing at a great rate. At 16 to 17" and 6 to 7 months old, I've noticed is when they tend to start slowing down (mine did, at least, though Taz was much longer than Kaira, Taz had...
