So my wife went downstairs to our basement to do laundry and as she was putting laundry into the wash she noticed a baby dubias at the bottom of the laundry basket. She is freaking out! She is ok with them but doesn't want them to be running around in the house. We live in WI and it has been...

Nice Viv! I was wondering what kind of seed do you use? Brand/Tpye? Thanks, Mike

What other pics can I take of him that aren't already on here? Lance I'm sorry to hear about your Uro. I try to let people know about the reptiles they are buying when I see people buying them in the pet stores. I also try to get the pet stores to change and/or update there care sheets. Most...

I would minus the insect all together. That's just my opinion. As far as a breed goes I would go on the http://www.deerfernfarms.com/ 's web site and read the info they have on what is the best beginner breed what be best. They have all that stuff you will need to know also. Just great breeder...

I also agree. I was feeding my Uro, Frankie, which is an adult alot less then that and he wouldn't hardly touch his greens. It has been two week or so, now with no bugs, he is so much better. Better Meaning active and eating his green like crazy! I wouldn't give him/her any bugs, not even for a...

So, he have been off Crixs for about two weeks now. He is eating his greens like crazy. He eats all of them every day now! I am so happy to see him more active lately. Thanks everyone, Mike

Very nice! I would love to see pics of your Uro! Frankie is however starting to eat more but still doesn't eat as much as my Beardies do. LOL

I was talk about crixs. If you still want to buy a 1000 of them at one time to get a better prices break. Then do it instead of taking care of dubias. Some people just can't handle touching and/or even the sight of them. Like my wife and everyone else I show them to. I also have egg creates in...

I keep mine in an unheated base. I bought a 1000 of them a coulpe of weeks ago and they are still alive and sheading. I feed them potateos and a wet sponge for water. Also I have a 9" X 8" reptile heating mat on the bottom of a rubbermaid container. It has a screen covering a hole I cut out of...

I am sorry if I miss wrote but the light needs to past though the screen top and the temp should then be taken inside the Viv to be correct. Gun and all!

I have been doing a lot of research on the Mega Ray both uv and non UV. The http://www.reptileuv.com/ has a lot of information on lighting and its setup. The thing to remember is "lighting is a process, not a bulb". You will need two dome lights. For one of them you will need a 50 watt Halogen...

Yes but you will need to check your temp so that they are right. 105-115 dgrees. Alway check basking spot temps three time to be sure.

I use an inferred thermometer. I check my temps though the mesh screen top, to the top of the height in which my Beardies back is going to be. The normal temp of the room is between 63-65 degrees. This will only affect ambient air temp when the lights are off at night. Well with in the normal...

Correct, the fluorescent bulb should not have UVB. The light we see is different then the light are beardie can see. They can see UVA light so a full spectrum fluorescent can give him a wide color band in which they can see. It help simulate peak sun light of a normal sunny day. Hope this helps Mike
