    Temperature tip for new custodians

    Good morning My tip is concerning temp at the basking side. This site as well as many others say the correct temps should be between 100 - 110 degrees. My tip is that these temps are arrived at using various instruments. These instruments could be WAY OFF due to age or just plain worn out or...

    Brumation cave

    Mrjaws ate a bumble bee

    Ceramic heat emitters, dead crickets

    Now that we're in the summer months is it necessary to continue to use the CHE at night. We regulate the temp at 77 degrees. Also another question, which is probably a no brainer. On the average about 5 to 10% of my crickets die. Until 2 months ago, I would go ahead and feed them to Mrjaws. Then...
