    Has anyone just slowly lost interest in the hobby over time?

    Hi everyone, I've been into reptiles all my life but wasn't allowed to keep them up until 3 years ago when I moved out. I've learned a ton from them, had lots of laughs, a bit of crying, but mostly enjoyed myself. I currently have a leopard gecko, bearded dragon, veiled chameleon, and pink toe...

    Safe Plants

    I know portulacaria afra is. I would not be able to speak for the others. Afra grows crazy fast given the right conditions

    You can always try it, but it just wasn't working for me.

    Dubia Colony Smell. Help!

    I need help with my dubia. My colony is a little over a year old now, and it was doing splendid. Recently, I had some mass die-offs of adults, but I figured some of them were just reaching the end of their lives. It was probably around 10 a day dying. This started early December, and I...

    Safe Plants

    I can really only speak for portulacaria afra. I have that planted in mine. You will need an LED grow light though.. I use the Jungle Dawn 13 watt.

    Bearded dragons in the wild

    Beautiful angry babies in these pics :) Was this your response to "loose substrate is bad because in the wild they live on a hard-packed rocky substrate"? Because I loathe that response too. What's your beardie's enclosure look like?

    Why are 110F basking surface temps recommended?

    I guess I'd just like to start a little discussion. Why is 105-110F surface recommended for dragons? Where do these numbers come from? Are we doing it simply because the keepers before us did it, and that's what the care sheets say? I understand you've been keeping dragons for years now and...

    Bioactive tank? Substrate

    Aesthetics is just a bonus. It's incredibly stimulating for the dragons too! My guy's personality has changed so much from tile vs now. And you just get the bugs once lol. They reproduce on their own in the tank :)

    Bioactive tank? Substrate

    That's why you use isopods that can handle the conditions. Mold and fungus really only grow in humid conditions, and if they do grow for whatever reason, that's what the springtails are for.

    Bioactive tank? Substrate

    I'd like to give my input on this. I've had my beardie on bioactive for about 8 months now. Around month 2 or 3, you could really see things starting to balance out. The isopods and other cuc members quickly took care of my beardie's poop. He would poop in the afternoon, and it's gone in the...

    Not just breeders. Responsible breeders. Also craigslist if they are healthy and need a home.

    Just terrible...

    This video is around a year old. I'm sure this supplier got shut down and PetCo/PetSmart just went on to the next supplier. It's just important to not shop at these pet stores, ESPECIALLY for animals. Not much will send a message other than a loss in sales.
