    Gutloading Superworms?

    I have used a few things but Wheat bran is the best. I was buying little bags at no frills for $3 until I found out that TSC has 50 pound bags for $12. The closest TSC to you would be just off the 401 in bowmanville. I am in Pickering so I go to the Uxbridge store. I use potatos for...

    An original idea or a bad idea. Your thoughts?

    Thanks for your imput guys. I have done some other reading today and the consensus is that it's not a good idea. That's why I love the Internet! Cheers. Chris

    An original idea or a bad idea. Your thoughts?

    So I use a lot of water crystals to hydrate my feeder bugs. I just found out that the zoomed brand repti calcium with D3 (fine) is very water soluble. What if I add some powder to my water when making a batch of crystals to increase the calcium content of my bugs???? Love to hear...

    Thanks for the reply. Baby food was my plan for tomorrow. Any specific flavor you recommend? When my other beardie had entameoba invadens the prescription called for 5 days on, 3 weeks off and a other 5 days on. This time the panacur says one day, then 7 off then one more day. So he...

    Has anyone tried this with their dubia setup

    Many people have used this method for a poor mans incubator. It not only works but because of the thermal mass of the water, temps remain very stable. Chris

    Just started a Super Colony

    My experience has been that as soon as the beetles have morphed I toss em in. They turn black within a day and I guess because I always have food for them, they never canabilize. Also I am finding potatoes give the best bang for the buck for feeding worms. Slice the skin off on one side and...

    Smooth?

    When breeders describe their dragon as "smooth" am I correct in saying they are not a leather back but a regular with reduced scales? Chris
