A temp gun. Warmest spot is 85 directly under the basking light and 75-70 elsewhere.

Yesterday morning I received a one month old (10-17 DOH) male panther baby from the Chameleon company. It's no more than 2 1/2 inches TL. I've had experience raising a couple veiled clutches (this is my first panther) but now I'm questioning having had a neonate shipped so young. He currently...

The guys at RTB will most certainly help out. A neat little trick to tell the difference between a BCI and BCC is to look at "stripes" or markings. Your average BCI will look like this - ) ( ) ( Most BCCs have markings with a little triangle in the middle - <) (> Of course the best way...

This one is freshwater ;). Technically a crayfish. I used to find blue morphs in a local creek. Free sure beats 20$! Nice zoo though, I don't think I would be able to handle that much fur though! :D

Jupiter, if you didn't know this, your boa is a BCI. Not sure if you already stated that though. ;) It's also a good idea to learn to tell the difference between Columbians/common boas/redtails (Boa constrictor imperator, or BCI) and the different varieties of Central American Boas. (Boa...

To top that off, your typical bird has a VERY poor sense of smell.

Where in the world did you get your veiled?

Hmm, I wouldn't have thought there would be any noticeable taste difference at all, unless you're using two completely different brands for the calcium and calcium w/d3. Try dusting the crickets with a half and half mix of w/D3 and n/D3. I've actually had a couple reptiles who wouldn't eat...

I wouldn't worry, mine basks pretty much 90% of the day after going to the bathroom and eating breakfast. At first it was worry-some because he was dark brown when basking, meaning he was dark brown pretty much all day, but lately he's been basking in normal bright green colors. :) I've also...

If you guys want to try it, get some marmokrebs off of aquabid. They stay a small size, and are parthenogenetic. I used to culture them for feeding to predatory fish and cichlids. They're also much less cannibilistic. They're also called marbled crayfish.

I'd personally go with the aluminum screen enclosures also on their website. Apparently crickets can chew right through the reptarium's screen.

Bucket + scraps. I don't see how that's a lot of work? :P You can make it as complicated as you want it, but they're maggots after all.

Why would you feed off a ghost mantis. ;_;

As far as I know, you can't "breed" them indoors. The adults need access to natural sunlight, plus they find mates in flight, meaning you would need a massive enclosure to breed the adults.

Be prepared to deal with a bunch of different feeders, and to feed the feeders better than you feed yourself. In short, you will need: crickets, roaches, silkworms, super worms, hornworms, phoenix worms, and the occasional bounty of safe wild-caught prey.
