    Hornworms dying

    So finally I am all set up for breeding horns. I have a 24x24x48" repti breeze terrarium. Hummingbird feeder etc. I purchased 30 horns and gave 4 or 5 to my dragons (couldn't resist). The rest are my breeders. I am feeding them great lakes chow. In the last 3 days, 7 or 8 of the horns...

    An original idea or a bad idea. Your thoughts?

    So I use a lot of water crystals to hydrate my feeder bugs. I just found out that the zoomed brand repti calcium with D3 (fine) is very water soluble. What if I add some powder to my water when making a batch of crystals to increase the calcium content of my bugs???? Love to hear...

    Smooth?

    When breeders describe their dragon as "smooth" am I correct in saying they are not a leather back but a regular with reduced scales? Chris

    Anything wrong with 2 totally different appetites?

    A couple months ago my female tested positive for entamoeba invadens. She was 35 grams. I treated both her and my male with panacur. She has since thrived and is now 7 months, 190gms and 15". He is exactly a month younger and is 14.5" and 136 grams. She is a fat little piggy that eats...

    Horns

    I just gave my dragons horns for the first time and they loved em. I have actually wanted to breed them for a while now and they are likely my next project. The problem as you guys know is the food. It is costly. I have spent hours online including this site looking for a recipe. There are...

    Black beard white tummy

    My 6 month old male had the blackest beard today but no stress marks. It went away after his bath. He and my female are in separate vivs but can see each other. @ 6 months could that be a sign that he is a little Randy?

    Almost gave up. Supers

    So I have 5-600 beetles. They spent 2 weeks in my bran substrate before I moved them into fresh substrate. That was 2 weeks ago. So I have been eagerly waiting any sign of baby worms. I looked with a 5x's loop and couldn't see any eggs. Finally today I moved the substrate and it started...

    Panacur

    I have spent hours on google trying to find panacur suspension. All the hits are in the UK for some reason and all I am getting in north America is granuals. My vet sold me 1ml for $40. In the UK you can get 100ml's for less than that. It has a long shelf life so I would like to stock a...

    Minimal viv

    So when my girl tested positive for a nasty parasite my vet told me to keep a bare bones viv. Get rid of all porous products, wood etc. To reduce the risk of reinfection. It has me thinking, all this stuff we put in the vivs to make them look cool. Aren't we actually making an unsafe...

    Super worm tips from my recent experienced.

    There are some really good vids and articles on the net about breeding superworms. I started about 4-6 weeks ago and learned a few things that you may not find in all tutorials. First, when you buy your supers to breed, put them in housing with plenty of food and water for at least 2 days...

    Toronto area pet store, gross. rant.

    I stopped by a exotic pet store today just outside Toronto. First time I was ever there. I don't think it is fair to pubically mention their name. Soon as I walked in I was taken back by the smell. I cant describe it other to say it was absolutely gross. There was a 20 gallon tank with 2...

    My Girl has Entamoeba Invadens

    Some backround: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=143936 Fecal came back today and she has Entamoeba Invadens. I picked up a new med, Panacur. I thought this was over with. She has thrived in the last week and gained 10 grams since going on Baytril. Does Baytril also treat this parasite? Chris

    Wine cooler / Incubator conversion

    So I got a free wine cooler of a local classified site and decided to convert it to a incubator. Here is a pic of the unit stripped. The back wall you see is where the coil was. There was a plate in front of that with a fan in it. I drilled a hole for a bottom fan and cut a square hole...

    Wine cooler incubator.

    Man, did I get the gloat of the century today. I have been looking online for a used wine cooler to make a incubator out of. I saw a week old ad this morning for a 1 year old wine cooler with a shot circuit board for free! I emailed the lady and she said "do you want it for scrap or are you...
