Hi there, haven’t been here in a while. So far, loose substrate has been amazing but only recently it’s been causing… issues, to say the least. I am currently using a sand/coco finer mixture, but with drying weather coming around it’s getting more and more dusty. And that dust is a problem...

How do I make sure the driftwood + stones I’ve collected are safe for Leo’s enclosure? How should I go about washing/disinfecting them? They were sourced from a beach.

They’re eating one of the newly moulted superworms (this is a new batch, got them yesterday and they had food which they appear to have eaten). What’s the deal? Also, are they still safe to feed Leo?

How should I go about clearing it? He is overdue to have a bath, so I’ll dab at it with a wet q-tip to see if I can dislodge the dirt. Thanks for any suggestions.

As the title says, Leo’s been glass surfing non-stop for at least a week and a half already. He’s already caused permanent damage to his enclosure’s walls and sliding doors, and he’s been doing it to the extreme, it’s reached the point where I am genuinely concerned about him hurting himself...

^^ title

The title is self explanatory. Leo won’t bat so much as an eye at his crickets today, despite being fine with them yesterday. Is he just not hungry? Or is there some other concern about this I should be aware of? He won’t stop glass surfing and when I do try and take him out he bolts all over...

this little cutie’s doing some intense lizard yoga 👀 mixed with the sploot… And this little fellow was posing for the camera ♥️ I was tempted to take him home with me, I really was…

Is there anything I can do for that? Leo is glass surfing CONSTANTLY after waking up from brumation, he’s already scratched dents in the sliding door and pvc walls in his enclosure. The funny thing is, his nails are nice and dull right now but he’s still causing damage. Is there any way I can...

like the title says, Leo is glass surfing. Constantly. This goes on for a good 10 minutes et a time multiple times a day. What on earth is he doing?

What could have caused this and is it a concern? (Not dehydration) He is also acting full of energy today, running all over the place and glass surfing like crazy. (Guessing spring time crazies).

As the title says, just curious about whether or not Leo’s still in brumation, dealing with rehab stress, or is ill. He’s retired to his hide about a day into his new enclosure and has been there ever since (until I moved him to his basking spot and took him out so he could eat. He’s not loosing...

“Obey me, mortal peasant!”

Hi there, bd.org! It’s finally finished! I present to you, Leo’s new enclosure. The customized dimensions are 48” x 24” x 20” (Im not sure what that translates to in gallons 🤷) made by MecoReptiles, they are located in Alberta. Here it is: I’m aware it looks a bit bland now, I have a piece...

I haven’t got the enclosure quite finished yet, I have to pick up some clear silicone to bind my pieces of wood together and add the coconut coir once it’s finished drying. This is what I have so far! Here are some pictures: The rough looking substrate is excavator clay sprinkled over the sand...

Thoughts on this as a substrate (mixed w/ playsand)? Here’s a pic of the brand I have: No additives, manure, fertilizers, etc. I don’t have organic topsoil available here, so will this work as well?

It’s all built and ready for him, we’re letting the silicone air out overnight before we do anything further (.I.e. add substrate, decor, etc) but I thought I’d share what we have so far! Overall super excited with the end result, a truly stunning build that’s for sure! Here are some pics...

If it’s pre-packaged do I still need to clean it? I’m guessing not, but better safe than sorry.

I’m picking up a 50w halogen from Home Depot for Leo’s new enclosure (which arrived!) I’m just wondering, would it be best to get a floodlight or a spotlight?

I’ve got my substrate purchased (ended up going with sand/clay mix, might add soil later) and Leo’s new enclosure is due to arrive some time tomorrow, just wanted to know how should I go about cleaning the sand before adding it in the enclosure when it gets here? Also, are there any techniques...
