If you are going to medicate your own dragon, you should really learn how to calculate dosages. More importantly, you must learn how to read a syringe. It can be very confusing trying to figure out the difference between 0.1 cc and 0.01 cc A lot of people get the syringe and immediately think...

It's that time of year again and a lot of people are going to be posting about what to do when their dragons lay eggs, fertile and infertile. Many times pet stores will sell people two dragons and tell them they should be housed together, but they fail to mention that they will become sexually...

Everywhere you look on the internet, the only dimensions you can find are general or outside dimensions. Also, there is bound to be some variance between manufacturers, but I don't know for sure. Could anyone with the following tank sizes please measure the inside length and width as close to...

I'm just looking for personal opinions on what colors you would prefer for your substrate. Do you like neutral, more natural looking color like tans and such, or would you prefer something darker in the gray and black range? Anything else you would look for in a substrate to make you want to...

I've got a male hypo trans, one of my hold backs from last year, with an eye infection. I have to wait till tuesday to get into the vet, so I'd thought I'd post and see if anyone else has had any experiences with eye infections. I noticed he was keeping it closed about a week ago, so I cleaned...

I'm working on having reflectors made for the Reptisun 10 fluorescents and I know everyone with a custom enclosure could have different types of fixtures. I'd really like to make some that are as universal as possible and super easy for people to use. Would anyone be willing to post a pic of...

It took me a couple weeks, but I finally finished the bay rack tutorial. These racks can be taken apart to store or take to shows. They are small and will fit just about anywhere and only cost about $160 to build fully wired. http://www.rioreptiles.com/racks.html

This is not meant to be a memorial, but a detailed account of the events that have recently taken place. For those who follow Rio Reptiles on facebook, you know that we recently lost the prettiest, sweetest dragon anyone could ever ask for. Embyr was my beautiful red female who recently lost...

Nice to know your in good hands. My vet was on the cover of Exotic DVM a couple months ago. Hooray for her!

This is one of the easiest ways to build a nice baby bin rack that is inexpensive and temporary or permanent. I purchased a 4ft wire rack from Lowes for $60 that has 4 shelves. I assembled it and cut 3 pieces of 1x3 to fit tightly in the undersides between the metal supports, then put a screw...

About 3 months ago I thinned out my dubia colonies because I had close to 600 adult females in each one. (I have 6 total) I sold close to 2000 adults and got 4 bins back down to 300 to 400 adult females each and separated all the nymphs into 2 other bins. I put an under tank heater on one...

Wishing everyone a colorful holiday, and a merry kissmas from Pykyl & Cayenne

Alright, at first I thought it was entertaining to have some soldier fly larvae in 2 of my dubia bins. Those things are voracious, they eat a couple of adult females every night. I've sifted the flass once, and thought I got them out, but now I'm finding hollowed out dead adults again. What...

My browser wouldn't let me on FB so I'll post my cute baby pics here, I thought they were pretty cool looking. Leathers Trans

I don't know if anyone has experienced this first hand, but I lost a very loved dragon to egg yolk peritonitis yesterday and feel I should try to make everyone more aware of how to identify the problem early on if possible. The scary part is that it can happen to any female whether she is bred...

Hi guys, I finally broke down and purchased a Solartech 6.2 UVB meter. I have different bulbs coming in from all the manufacturers to test myself and plan on posting what I find. Let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas. Seems that all the manufactuters should be tested every year to...
