Living here in New England and we're in the beginning of a heat wave (4-7 days it looks like.) If I was to turn my BD basking lights (which is also the UVB its a MV bulb) on the room they are in would end up being 115+. If I leave it off it still gets to 85+. My question is if I leave the lights...

I just got a baby Blue Tongue and actually got one that needs higher humidity than I was expecting. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to keep the humidity higher besides spraying 3-4 times a day? I work evenings 1-10est. I'm trying to find the best fogger or mister without spending a...

Back on Oct.22, I bought these 2 tiny little skinks called orange throat pygmy skinks. There was four in the tank but I only had a 10g. I couldn't find anything on them in particular. So, I contacted my friend at the store and she told me they were labeled with the sci. name of trachylepis...

I recently got a fire skink and I think "he's" doing good. He's out and about some days but mostly he hides in the bedding. Which is where my problem lies. Because we're getting into the summer months and the humidity inside is not high and with a basking light and uvb drying the bedding a lot...

I ordered some silk worms. they were shipped from FL on Monday and I received them today in MA. The problem I have is I know it was said they may need to warm up but does this look normal? Of that pile, one started to sort of move since the picture was taken(about 1.5 hrs ago)

I know it is very late in the season, but was wondering what would be considered too late (or early) to start brumation. We got our beardie almost 1.5 yrs ago and the last 2-3 weeks she has been wandering and glass surfing. We would take her out and let her run around until she got cool. Then...

In Sept. I rescued 2 leopard geckos from someone who had them in a little 10g tank with 1 hide , a small heat light and had them on wood chips for bedding. At the time they had them since March and 1 had lost it's tail(re-grown now.) I put them into a 40g with 4 different hides, tile flooring...

My son (12yr) joined an after-school pet-club and volunteered me to go in on the day they talk about reptiles. He wants me to bring in our little girl Mocha, but I want to make sure that I am ale to give them all the right care and to be able to answer their question. Things I do know about...

I have new acquired a Garg and it's small. I know they take up to 2 years to get full grown. Not looking to breed it or anything but curiosity has gotten to me. I know they primarily eat pangea or repashy but I have read somewhere(can't remember where now) that as juveniles they can have small...

I'm assuming that Mocha is close to a year old. I got her in Sept. of last year. I know at some point they switch to more greens than insects, but is it usually drastic? Two weeks ago she was eating 20-30 crickets and 5-10 supers for meals and she would only eat a little greens when we were...

So, I've been reading and trying to research sun vs uvb lighting. I found that 1hr of real sun is equal to approx 8-12 of uvb. Does anyone know if this is true and if so, if I bring her out do I not use the uvb for that day just her heat light?

About 2-3 months ago I upgraded to a 50 vivi. This one in particular : http://www.petsmart.com/reptile/habitats-decor/exo-terra-reptile-terrarium-zid36-5147552/cat-36-catid-500009?_t=pfm%3Dcategory It has the Styrofoam backing which I know crickets can climb but that's not the problem. Mocha...

The last couple of days here in NE have been nice enough to bring my beardie outside but thinking that I might need to find a different place. I know they learn about their environment by tasting but my lawn has spots that are just dirt. There isn't any chemicals or anything on it but what about...

Is there any way to determine if a worm is a super or a mealie? I got a batch of worms yesterday but they seem darker than the supers I already have but they are about 1/2 the size too. So I am not able to size comparison the colors.

What is too cold for a BD? It's going to be 70-74 today and was thinking about taking my Mocha outside but didn't want to have adverse effects.

So, I got a gargoyle today. Had the setup ready for about a month to make sure temps and humidity remained steady. Was wondering if the relocation stress is about the same amount of time as a beardie? And do I need to show it where the food is or will it find it on its own? Not sure of a name...

I've had a few issues here and there where everyone has been so very helpful but lately I've been reading more and more people's BDs having MBD. Now I'm getting concerned that mine may have the start of it and want to correct this asap. Beginning: She approx 6.5 months old (assuming she was 2...

Just curious but do supers need to be dusted?

A few days with out a uvb won't cause irreparable damage to a dragon, right? Someone had posted that their uvb died and they couldn't get it until tomorrow. I posted : A forum I belong to they've been discussing the possible loss of power due to the snowstorm down south. They all have been...

Anyone have some knowledge on Gargoyles? I have a breeder with in 2 hours of me and I, well my son, has been bugging me for one(actually 2 but...). We have a beardie right now and still learning alot about the care and up keep. But he wants something of his own, I suggested a gecko and of course...
