    UVB distance help

    Jim is very lucky and will be fine with a T-8, Reptisun 10.0, UVB tube light 6 inches overhead lying on top of a screen cover. Jim will thermoregulate under his heat lamp as he requires and in the same way he will utilize the available UVB you offer. A tube Reptisun at 6" inches offers Jim...

    UVB distance help

    Missi, Nice job on the habitat! When you say "Reptisun Tube" are you referring to a round, twisted, compact, flourescent bulb?? Is the deep dome pictured holding the CFL UVB bulb? OR,....do you have a straight flourescent bulb for your UVB that is not pictured? Also, does Jim bask under your...

    2 questions

    I hate crickets! Appropriate sized superworms or Dubia roaches remain in my small Pyrex bowls with no chance of escape. My dragons can feed whenever they wish! They do not eat when they are full. I have 5 dragons now! My two new Citrus little guys love dining on baby Dubias from their bowl...

    Exo Terra Large tanks

    I have 4 Exo Terra 40 gallon terrariums and two large, but tall, Exo Terra's as well. I mount the cheap foam rock background outside the terrarium on the back! The foam is still brand new looking. The feeders have nothing to climb or eat. The terrarium has a rocky background look rather...

    Good luck Caesura??? You have 20+ onlookers to your post and no replies?? My post has 40 readers and no replies regarding the exact same interest. viewtopic.php?f=76&t=198583 Although there is some truth to the "hush-hush" proprietary artificial hornworm chow quietness that predominently...

    Dumb woman at the reptile/aquarium

    You were correct in saying she gave you bad info! Pet stores offer the cheapest, least beneficial, most abundant feeder they can,....the mealworm?? Many feed their dragons from a jar they carry on the shelves!! Fresh greens are unheard of??? Good luck establishing healthy eating habits for...

    Dubia colony help please? (pics included)

    I suggest standing your egg flats vertically so the majority of the frass falls to the plastic floor rather than collecting in the card paper cells! I also suggest you do not use clear containers,.....preferably opaque for Dubias! I cannot see your heat source?? I use light bulbs through the...

    superworms as a staple

    I have so many superworms as well! Quite often I scoop hundreds of superworms into a round glass bowl and place the bowl out on the patio in the shade! Wild birds flock to my Superworm treat every time! Better than any sunflower or thistle?? Bless, Bill

    Success Feeding Your Hornworms????

    The Tomato Hornworms I use to feed my reptiles cannot dine on tomato leaves. I get that. It is shared everywhere that tomato leaf fed hornworms ingested by your dragon causes nasty toxicity issues!! My hornworms that "wandered" successfully into pupation loved dining on Mulberry leaves before...

    Superworm Help

    You can guesstimate his actual length by adding the other half of his missing tail to your total measurement for purposes of assessing your feeder possibilities! I do not feed crickets. I raise Dubias and Superworms and use both as my dragons main entree. I offer hornworms and silkworms...

    Keeping wood clean.

    My beardies defecate 90% of the time in their regular baths. Of the times one may let loose in their terrarium it is usually on the slate tile.....which is easily removed and replaced with a clean tile. I use steam vapor to clean anything porous and kill everything nasty after I brush the...

    Chameleon help "again"

    Chameleons are arboreal. They prefer heights up in the canopy as opposed to life along the ground. My Ambilobe panther does very well in a large, tall screened enclosure full of plants, vines and bamboo with a drip system for hydration and humidity. I get all my chameleon's needs answered at...
