Is there a gun or something that is used to measure the usefulness of the lights? I read where some know exactly how much their lights are giving off. I think lighting is the worst part of having a beardie.

Actually this is for my gecko. But someone on here might know the answer. Would using shelf liner in the gecko tank be ok and ok to cover the UTH? I didnt want to cover up the heat for him.

Anyone else from Michigan? I have been to the reptile show in Kalamazoo. I went for snakes and got degus, lol. I am thinking of going to the one in Taylor. I am coming from Jackson and thats a bit of a drive for me. Im wondering if anyone else has gone and what they thought of it.

Beardie is a year and half old (bday 10/1/9) and today I came home to four eggs. Boy is everyone excited, shes all like, so where is my treat? I think I can feel another. I asked the other day about digging in the floor. When she was out for play time, she constantly digged at the floor and...

I let my beardie out for free time on the floor for about ah hour every other day. Today I noticed that she is trying to dig into the wood floor. She does not seem gravid, I cannot see or feel anything. Does this mean that I should put a digging spot in her cage or offer a box of dirt or...

I posted earlier about having to change from T12 to T8 tubes. I got the new 24 inch T8 fixture. It came with a cover for the light. I know to keep it off, my problem is, I need a hood to cover the light. It is basically a bare bulb that shines all over my son's room. How can I make a safe...

I use 18" ReptiSun 10.0. I bought a new light at the beginning of December to replace the bulb by the first of January. Well today I decided to go ahead and change the light since I was cleaning the tank. The kids were running around me and the beardie was playing on the floor by my feet. I...

We picked up a butter corn snake a week ago Sunday. He was born in February 10. He came with a plastic tub like a rubber maid container with holes along the top edge. Looks like they bought it with the holes in it. Probably 2 1/2 feet long, 1 foot wide. There is a hide and water dish. The...

I see this reptile on Craigslist. This is a very nice set up. Comes with: tank, screen, heat lamp, uv moon light, water dish, hiding log, climbing stick, feeding rock, calcium sand, and some food. The lizard is an orange spotted skink and is very healthy. He has never lost his tail and...

I live close to Lansing and it just dawned on me that MSU is a vet teaching facility. I was wondering if anyone has ever used a teaching university for their pets. If so, did you like it, not like it and so on. Were the prices comparible to regular vets.

My beardie is not eating nearly enough. I was excited the other day when she ate 12 PW, but before and after that day, I am lucky if she eats one or two of whatever she decides. I have the right set up, I have posted about the set up and showed pictures. Temps right, paper towel substrate...

Ok here is my set up. My hubby attached the light just under the tank frame using S hooks. The tube is the ReptiSun 10.0 and the dome light is the light for basking. The distance from the tube to the beardie is 5 inches, 7 inches if I take out the stick and have her sit on the top of her...

I don't know where to ask this, but can salamanders eat mealworms? I sell mealworms locally to gecko owners. This lady just emailed me today asking if she can feed mealworms to her salamander. She has no idea what kind since it was taken from a pond area last spring. So far she is feeding...

I posted a question about light fixture but no one answered yet. See posting below. Anyhow, I am wondering what kitchen fixture light could I use? I really think I need to take what I have back and get something else. Here is the picture. I got a 24 inch shop light. It is too big for...

I need a fixture for the 24 inch tube light. I got a 24 inch shop light from Mendards. The only problem I thought was that it required hardwiring. I can fix that so I can plug it into the socket. Well, I opened it and I have to assemble it. I can do that. But one problem I didnt think of...

Ok, I saw a site that offered a dubia breeding kit. You get dubias, egg cartons, food, crystal gels and stuff like that. I cant remember the site and I spent all day trying to find it. Does anyone know which site I am talking about?

Im holding my new beardie and suddenly I smell something. Ewwwwwww, she is pooping on me! Not only pooping but attempting to climb up from my chest to my shoulder. Not doggy or kitty smell but poo is poo. lol.

My kids decided that the beardie should never sleep on the hard floor. So she now has a quilt to sleep on. Its a mug rug, perfect size for her house. And I assume this will be ok. Her little thumb on her left hand is in the "up" position. Looks like it got broke and stuck like that...

My beardie is hung up at the FedEx office in Romulis Michigan. I hope to get her today. I started this project on Tuesday and worked on it yesterday. It is made out of packing styrofoam and grout. I ran out of brown paint. The sun is a separate piece that I glued on. The sun has a face on...

I need to order lights, I am going with smaller tubes. Everyone says to make sure that you get fixtures that can handle the wattage or whatever. I am looking to buy 24 or 36 inch repti-sun 10.0. Which fixture does everyone recommend. Oh and I did forget to mention that I am looking at...
