    Gargoyle gecko eggs

    So, I've had a gargoyle for around a year. Bought her (obviously a female now) as a baby. While cleaning out her cage I found 4 eggs, and 1 egg shell. Having gone through a few clutches of chameleon eggs now, I can say these eggs totally look viable. I've read that gargoyles are capable or...

    Its been a while so heres an update

    I've had about 3 clutches hatch in short order. They were laid a few months apart but all seemed to hatch within weeks of each other. I've sold most of the first clutch of faly - though thats not why I'm posting. I'd like to add a word to potential breeders and simply put "its not as easy as it...

    Air plant bloom question(s)...

    I have a few air plants floating around, pardon the pun. Most of them have never flowered. One or two I bought in the flowering stage and they died out. Recently, with upgraded plant lighting, I've had some success getting them to bloom! While kinda cool, and pretty considering the source...

    Silkworm Success/Excess

    Recently I switched egg suppliers to @snitz427 . I used to get 1,000 or so eggs from Mulberry Farms and I'd end up with about 1-200 mature worms. Well, I did the same with her eggs and now I have probably 800 worms! While it's nice to have great success, I don't need that many moths and the...

    Interesting Colors

    I came outside to check on my boy on the free range and saw something I've NEVER seen. He was white. Now, I've seen him get pretty white, but not like this. When I came out the Shepard's hook was swaying back and forth so I'm guessing a bird came by or maybe a squirrel. It sits on the other side...

    Gargoyle Gecko activity

    I recently got a gargoyle gecko as a "Christmas gift". I know they're nocturnal, but I also know they dont have eyelids! I find it stash in a back corner during the day - behind a cork round on a birch branch as opposed to any number of fairly dark hides. I have 3 concerns/questions at this...

    Pitcher plant "fertilization"...

    For all you plant folk out there... I know its said that you aren't supposed to fertilize them, but I'm wondering if I can artificially "naturally" fertilize them. What I mean, is can I throw death crickets, hawkmoths, roaches, etc. into the pitchers to give it food? More over, should I? These...

    Lygodactylus williamsi Decor

    I've been eyeing one of these guys for a while now. Gorgeous creatures. My other option was a gargoyle. The issue I was having was availability (from a reputable source) on the williamsi. Every time they came available I either missed them or just bought something else. This time however, my...

    Bromeliad "pup" question...

    As the title states, I need some help with my bromeliad pups. I've always had a thing for orchids and bromeliads, but always seem to kill them off in the cage. So now I just have lots of both and rotate them in and out until the finally die. Lately, I've started a "we'll see if this one comes...

    Successful worm breeding, now what?

    Recently I've been fed up with both local and online retailers. It seems like customer service doesn't matter to anyone because there's always another customer. My local shops don't have anything besides crickets and hornworms (which they split out of the typical cup to ensure you don't get any...

    Anoles

    So I had my boys outside this evening and as the sun started setting I took Demetri over by the grill so he could catch some more sun. I put him on the back of a chair and was messing with my dog. When I bent down I saw a smaller anole, a young juvenile. It was maybe 1.5" StV, another inch of...

    US ISO various Bugs (Florida)

    I find myself increasingly more interested in bugs these days and the market here is brutal. I have found a few online sources, but I'd rather not have to spend $200 on an unknown entity and end up getting shafted. Plus I much prefer to give my money to someone in the Chamily. So to the...

    So I found this little guy at work. He looked pretty cool so I decided to scoop him up. Anyone know anything about it? It was in a crepe myrtle, but that's all I know! Hopefully @SauceGandhi can ID it? You're my go to for grasshoppers! Thanks in advance!

    An empty enclosure

    A while back I bought one of those small sized exoTerra glass door enclosures with the intent of housing dart frogs or a Lygodactylus williamsi. When it came time to pick what I was going to put in it, I couldn't find "one or two" dart frogs that I wanted... and the williamsi are fairly hard to...

    Question for bug-folk

    Every evening after sunset I go for a short walk to the field by my house and wrangle up some bugs. Katydids are the main focus, but i also collect the occasional horn worm, moth, cricket, carolina locusts, misc lubbers (I'm pretty much afraid of collecting these as a general rule), etc. [See...
