I don't know how I was lucky enough to stumble upon this wonderful website but it's been my beardie bible for the last 15 years. Now I am looking to adopt a Florida Kingsnake as well and would love to find a similar website that I can trust for consolidated information. Any advice is appreciated...

The tank is indeed 24'' tall. I'll be sure to situate a basking spot closer to it. I thought the high output bulbs had the 18-24 inch range but I trust your judgement and will look into the Arcadia bulb. For temperature monitoring i have a handheld laser temp gun coming in the next couple of...

I've been away from these forums for 10 years and while I was sad that my original DIY tank images had expired and I couldn't do a side by side I knew where I wanted to go to share my latest attempt (and where to get the best info on anything I might be doing wrong). My one concern was my UVB...

eh, you could, i prefer phoenix worms anyways lol

yea, agreed, id like to not have to deal with the moment of hoping crickets dont jump off the egg flats when i transfer it to his feeding tank lol. I'll definitely look into this supplier, thanks for your help =D

It ended up working out fine, im putting on the final coat of sealant and will take some pictures when they are all done drying =D Edit: Here they are, thanks for your great instructions!

cool, i was looking at there site and was kind of discouraged from buying from them because only the small ones are available, is that sufficient / will they grow large enough for him?

how many times a day do you feed your beardie? and what do you do about feeding the silk worms?

hm, you could be right, im not really sure myself, i thought the fatty worms like waxworms were the 'candy' and that silk worms were good, but idk ill wait to see for someone else to weigh in

I've been using crickets for my beardie and since the rents will only let me store about 250 at a time, it gets rather expensive while he is still young, so i was wondering are silkworms a good option?, how many would i feed him per day, and where would i get them/what would i feed them?

i used miniwax water based polycrillic satin sealer from home depot

i ended up getting hot glue and it worked out fine, but if you use it for to long the glue gets hot enough that it melts the styrofoam, so only glue for like 10 minutes at a time

does anyone know if silicon sealant will work instead of the hot glue gun?

yea he ended up getting out of it this morning which is good, otherwise he is pooping normally, soft urate, eating fine. lol

okay so i know what brumation is but this doesn't seem like it. Reptar has recently been sleeping inbetween the folds of a folded up sleeping bag in his tank, and since i started doing that he wont get up until i come home to lift the pillow case off of him. He isnt being lazy, runs around alot...
