1+ those bulbs are made to mimic sunlight filtered through saltwater, ask for the 6.5k

looks like something in the Reduviidae or Pentatomidae family, frequently called assasin or stink bugs. Not generally poisonous but can sometimes inflict a painful bite. Stink bugs come with a nasty taste to match their smell, so if your cham didnt like it I doubt he'd try again I wouldnt...

there are a lot of weird import/export rules with CA because its a huge agricultural center (something like 5th largest in the world). Mulberryfarms.com sell packs of hornworms, thats where I get mine

invasive species, imported from Argentina or Chile I think. Thats also why they're so darn expensive.

I might be able to help, but I need to know if there's mold on the eggs

there are plenty of people who have had a lot of success w/ strawberries and other fruits. Give it a try, no way to know 'till you find out yourself

if I can remember right you cant breed butterworms; they're shipped to the US infertile via chemical sterilization phoenix worms are possible, there are a couple threads, but its messy and smelly. Given the cost of either, it would likely be easier/cheaper just to buy them

t5 or t8? try popping the bulb out and back in; sometimes the connection can get corroded and just needs some movement. Other than that, it may be the fixture's ballast or ignitor

still available, have had multiple requests for individual parts or to ship, still want to move this all at once and wont be able to ship if I do that. If the cham is still up for sale in a few weeks Ill reconsider updated pictures

new version looks better! just a point of interest, the foam does chip every now and again. I initially suggested the black foam because when it chips away its not as apparent as the white foam. Nothing a little silicone and dirt cant fix, but some might prefer to not be bothered with it

a water-hydrogen peroxide mix kills spores and bacteria effectively http://www.quickgrow.com/gardening_articles/hydrogen_peroxide_horticulture.html but yeah, that plant isnt draining well, you might want to repot

yup, and it turned out awesome!

looks great!

baby's tears grows in a mat like moss, and is completely edible so even if they change their mind it wouldnt be a problem
