Charlie is acting different and not in a good way. He went all yellow spotted lizard today! I have a cat that is always in my room where his terrarium is located. She completely leaves him alone. Today, she was sitting near his terrarium not even looking at him and he ran up to the wall and...

Thank you everyone for your help! I'm sorry it took me so long to reply. Work hours doubled recently and things got hectic. Progress is moving forward on my tiling project and I'm working on a bowl.

I've heard of dishes for worms so they can't escape but I hadn't heard anything about one for roaches. Is it the same thing? Where can I get these dishes?! haha

I have access to a good amount of ceramic tile. The kind with texture to it. My uncles do custom tiling. I want to try and put it in permanently. The plan is to cut and lay textured ceramic tiling and completely eliminate anything getting underneath by grouting it. So the grout doesn't hold on...

Could I grout in between and leave them in there permanently and clean them in the terrarium?

I've been looking into putting tile in my terrarium bottom. From what I understand, there are a few pros for using tile such as easier cleaning and I was wondering if there are any other benefits? Are there any cons to using tile? I'm currently using reptile carpet and paper towels when the...

I've posted before but I'm still worried about Charlie. I think this might be the end for my baby beardie. He is skin and bones... I can see his hips, ribs, and collar bone. I have been trying to get in contact with an exotic vet. He weighed at 11 grams last week. Yesterday, he was 10 grams...

Awesome! Thanks :) Do you get Dubias? If so, do you breed the Dubias or do you just order and feed them? I'm trying to figure out how the heck I'm going store them haha

Yes, the crickets are smaller than the space between the eyes. Everything I've tried to do with the crickets to slow them down doesn't work for him because he still gets scared. I put one in and he ran away. I tried feeding with tweezers like when I first got him but he was still scared. I have...

NEW PROBLEM Now not only will he not eat anything, he is also scared of the crickets. I put one in his terrarium and he couldn't get away fast enough. I picked up with tweezers and held it near him and he started shaking his head and freaking out. The shaking was only after a tried to force a...

Also, if anyone was wondering, I did return the ReptiSun terrarium hood. To be honest, it really shouldn't even be an option from ZooMed for the ReptiSun 10.0 T8. The T8 needs to be in the terrarium to work properly and the ReptiSun hood can't be put into the terrarium safely ( yes, I did...

BTW, thank you for the tip about the Command Sticky Nail Hangers! They are so secure and easy to use! If anyone else is trying to mount their fixture, these are awesome!

If any "large crickets" get in with my small, I'll only give him the ones that are more medium. If I have ones bigger than that, I usually take my cat into the bathroom and close the door and let him chase it for a couple of minutes. When he squishes it, I give him a treat and get rid of the...

Also, has anyone used dubiaroaches.com or lindasgonebuggie.com? If so, how was your experience?

Hi everyone. I'm about to place my first order for feeder insects online. Wish me luck! It's cold where I am and I'm taking a gamble. I had a question for those who order their insects but don't breed them. How do you store them?! I'm for sure ordering Phoenix worms and Dubias. I know you just...

Thank you so much for your help! My temperatures were up right before I switched to the ReptiSun and now I'm working on raising them again. Ordering a temperature gun today. I have been offering small crickets. Sometimes a end up with a few large crickets by mistake and he lunges for them. Or...

Thank you for all your help, I really appreciate it! I looked into the T5 and I going to give the T8 a shot because I was able to find all the equipment for it and was difficult to locate what I would need for the T5. I have it mounted inside the terrarium and Charlie already seems to be more...

Even with a thick layer of paper towels, be careful with the heat pad. Try baby sweet potatoes and bananas. I took me putting the baby food on a plastic spoon and holding it it in front of him to catch his interest. Now, I sometimes am able to get mine to eat it with some calcium powder mixed...

Do you guys think the ReptiSun 10.0 T8 @18" will be enough? I'm still worried about Charlie. Normal BM's but no appetite. Loving warm water misting though. Just worried about MBD because I can't get the calcium into him if he's not eating. Although, maybe the normal BM's are a sign he's sneaking...

I think I might have to return the ReptiSun Hood because I can't figure out any way to mount it on the inside safely :/ all the videos I find online show people using under the counter fixtures but they don't have the reflection like the ReptiSun fixture does and if I month the ReptiSun fixture...
