This may not be a popular opinion, but we went with a T5 6.0 instead of a 10 because our tank is on the shorter side and by the time we hung it inside it would have been too close to her since she has a "mountain" that she lays on. I did a lot of research on distance and amount of uv, plus...

I think it sounds like you have done your homework and are doing a good job. He's in a pretty good shed right now, so it could be he's just looking that way because of that. Looks like s/he is going to be very pretty. :)

I haven't heard of one color growing slower or faster than another, but I'm definitely not an expert. It does sound like a case of the dominant one causing the other one not to thrive. It will be interesting to see if the male's attitude toward food changes when he knows he's not going to get...

I wish ours was little again! It goes too fast, just like kids. ;)

It took longer than I thought it would for our girl to reach her full adult size. I had thought it would be by around the same age yours is, but it was more like 1.5+ as the previous poster said. If you think she doesn't look quite full grown yet you're probably right. ;)

I wish we had taken more pics of our girl when she was a babe and did this. Seems like adults just don't do it much!

Ours behaved similarly when she was getting ready to brumate.

Ok. I hadn't thought of that due to her age. And she is still awake most of the day in her tank, just not as active or enthusiastic about food as she was. She would chase her bugs before, and now either ignores them or waits until they come to where she can reach from wherever she's sitting.

Our 9ish month old girl, Nala, has had a pretty big change in eating/behavior that started about a month or so ago. I have a feeling that nothing is actually wrong, kind of looking for some reassurance. Temps and lightning are all set, from previous threads here. ;) We used to praise her for...

Interestingly, this is exactly how our 9ish month old girl has started being. I'm going to post in my own thread because that's what I came here to do, but thought I'd mention it here in case it may be some pretty typical female age thing.

Free range? I want to try with ours but I read all those scary tales. Course you are much much more experienced than I.

? You could always create one and start selling it on Etsy.

We have our first batch of nymphs! ? Trying to figure out which batch of females they came from and one place (wikipedia) says gestation is 28 days, but dubia roach depot (who has tons of info on roaches on their site, interesting read if you are so inclined) says 65 days. ?

No scientific reference site to confirm this, but my husband is a horticulturalist and has told me that eggplant is in the nightshade family, which he steers away from for our animals. However, when I just tried to research it myself, I found sites debunking the "myths that surround nightshade...

When I saw the pic I immediately assumed it was a scratch...but a bite, yikes! Good thing he got himself an experienced human and not some newbie.

She will still eat her bugs, but not as many, and definitely not as enthusiastically. And just refuses to touch any and all greens or now even veggies like her favorite colored bell peppers and squash. It's such a big change from how she was. She just seems...well, if I were to put a ham...

You can put your bsfl in a cooler with a cold pack to keep them from pupating. :) We get ours to last a month or more that way.

Karrie, are silkworms something XYZ reptiles only carries periodically? Every time I have gone to their site, all I see for bugs is isopods. I am on mobile though, so it may just be I'm not looking in the right place.

I think that is pretty common in babies. My daughter wanted to name ours Mango but then went with Nala.
