Alright, I've decided to give supers a try as the staple feeders for my dragon, since I hate smelly crickets, and silkworms are a pain to look after (and to keep alive!). I only have one dragon, and I don't plan on breeding the superworms (at least, not at the moment), so what I'm wondering is...

So back in November, my dragon started to go into brumation, or more like semi-brumation I guess? The really weird thing is, she was only 4 months old at the time. But she was absolutely fine, health-wise. I had her checked for parasites, and they (unsurprisingly) found pinworms and coccidia...

I have some silkworm cocoons which I reserved for breeding, and several of them have emerged within the past few days. The only thing is.. they're not moving. At all! Not even the males. The females just sit there (which, from what I understood is what they are supposed to be doing anyways). But...

I want to get one of those portable handheld steam cleaners to clean my beardie's viv because I hate using chemicals.. It's hard to rinse them out of such a big tank, especially since the tank stays in one place. My beardie has pinworms and coccidia; actually, I'm done treating her for pinworms...

I noticed about a week ago, when my beardie does poo that day, she does so twice and I've also noticed a pattern: The first poo looks like a normal one, the second one looks like mostly water -- quite a bit of water too. Now that I'm using paper towels as substrate (because she has pinworms and...

I noticed about a week ago, when my beardie does poo that day, she does so twice and I've also noticed a pattern: The first poo looks like a normal one, the second one looks like mostly water -- quite a bit of water too. Now that I'm using paper towels as substrate (because she has pinworms and...

I am thinking of either purchasing some superworms or hornworms (or both!) for my 4 month old beardie. She's 98 grams, just weighed her yesterday, and I estimate that she's around 11-12" now. Would it be ok to feed superworms to her? That is, is she big enough to eat them? I have read that only...

My dragon, who's 4 months old has been showing signs of brumation for the past couple of weeks. She just naps most of the day in this one corner of her tank. Sometimes she will be kind of awake with a sleepy look on her face. She will usually eat everyday when I try feeding her. It's just that...

Does anyone know of a good vet in the Vancouver area who treats reptiles? I know there is one clinic really close to my house -- Anderson Animal Hospital -- that does treat reptiles, but I saw one bad review about the vet there.. (although that was for a cat, but still), so I am hesitant to pay...

So I just started using the Mega-ray 100W yesterday. I have it in the Zoo Med deep dome fixture. I know a lot of people use that fixture with the Mega-ray so it should be okay, but anyways, onto the main subject. A few hours after I installed it, when my parents got home and I was out, my mom...

I've had my beardie for about 3-4 weeks and she has just finished her shed a few days ago. She is about 4 months old. When I first got her, she would eat crickets in the morning and everything. In the middle of her shed, she got all lethargic, and even when the lights came on in the morning she...

I've been reading some guides for raising silkworms on the internet and the best way to feed kegos seems to be to finely grate the chow over them, and then grate more the next day when they have eaten most of it up. I have been doing this.. and while it is working okay, I noticed that the chow...

When my silkworms, which are teeny tiny right now (they just hatched yesterday) are ready to be moved to a bigger container, they will go in a set up that has a ceramic heat emitter over the container, because my house isn't all that warm. This may lower the humidity, I'm guessing, and so I'm...

Okay, so I just got my online order of crickets today. When I opened up the box, I found that the potatoes inside were already moldy. :puke: Obviously, the crickets have very likely been feeding on the mold as well. There were many dead ones at the bottom. Even with the live and active ones, I...

My beardie (she's about 3 months old) is beginning a shed, and the colour on her tail and hind legs definitely looks duller than when I got her last week. The thing is, I haven't actually seen her shed any skin off.. How long does a shed take? I'm guessing that this dulling of colour means that...

I remember seeing endive as one of the staple greens on the Beautiful Dragons chart and I was wondering if it was referring to Belgian endive or the leafy kind. I have only seen Belgian endive around here... so I hope they're referring to that one. :o

Do silkworms need to be dusted with calcium or multivitamin? Also wondering about how many silkworms does a juvenile (3 months) eat in one day?

It's a bit harder to find the vegetables that end with "greens" in the name around here (collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, etc.). In fact, I've only seen collard greens around here and even those aren't usually in most grocery stores. And those are the ones that are listed as good...

I know you're not supposed to leave crickets in the tank for more than 15 minutes, but I'm wondering if that is ok to do with silkworms or even phoenix worms?

I'm planning on raising silkworms and well, for the first stage of their lives, I will have an incubator to keep them warm. What I'm not sure of is what is a good way of providing heat for them when they've grown bigger and are no longer living in the incubator? I'm just thinking it would be...
