What concerns me is the intensity the Arcadia seem to have, or at least what everyone says it has. Soleil's tank has an Arcadia, which is why I'm considering switching his to one, but she has a really fine mesh screen that diminishes the intensity. His UVB has to be mounted inside his tank due...

I am going to re-vamp Nero's tank, it is a 4x2x2 tank. His prior setup was a 12" Reptisun 10.0 on one end with a basking spot temp around 90, and a Megaray with a basking spot around 88 on the other end. This setup worked well when he was younger, but I had to swap him and Soleil for awhile and...

I think a main reason we have vilified certain nutrition sources is because its easier. I'm a big believer in nutritional balance over time. I don't believe every meal has to be balanced, as long as you aim for a well-rounded diet overall (I like to go by month, because its easier to see...

I know, and that's why I still feed them, just not as often. -To clarify that statement: I never ALWAYS feed anything, I am constantly rotating their diet and watching for what works for them. Nero cannot seem to handle high water content greens, but Soleil can, as an example. If I'm...

I generally agree with your statement, as I don't believe that anything fed in moderation and variety is necessarily a bad thing. However, I think the reason that Bok choi (as well as other cabbages, broccoli, kale, etc.) is black in the scale instead of green is not because of its Ca:P ratio...

....I see you feeding my sister roaches too, but I don't want to share, they are all MINE!! (Usually accompanied with a few head bobs for good measure)

Unfortunately I can't grow anything outside because the wildlife eats it. It's actually not just rabbits I have to worry about, it's mostly the deer...and they have no problem jumping fences to get to what they want, even on the deck! If I can get these grown successfully I will definitely add...

I know a few of you grow your own greens. I am now about to venture into this as well, I just planted some collard, mustard, and red romaine (for the guinea pigs :D ) in my bio-active terrarium. Once they are 3" I plan on moving them into their own pots and keeping them indoors, we have a lot...

So it's been a really long time since I've posted, but I've been super busy with all the Leopard gecko hatchlings and life in general. Here are some newer pictures of Nero and Soleil, they are both a year old now.

There is about 4 ft between them (edge to edge), so it would be hard to put anything between them. The stock tank is oval, so I have the length of it sticking out more and I can turn it so that it is another foot away. Maybe instead of covering Nero's glass I can put a partial piece of...

It would be across the front of the tank, he has scenery background on the back wall of his tank and one side. So this would almost completely close him in, which is why I'm worried about it.

I was letting my Mom's dogs outside a few weeks ago and one of them found a hatchling box turtle outside that was in pretty bad shape; his left eye was swollen and shut and he had some abrasions on his rear legs and tail. So I took him in with the idea of getting him healed up and releasing him...
