They're relatively easy to breed. I keep mine in a tiny little pet keeper or whatnot with some wet bark on top of eco-earth. I wet it down once a week and throw in various vegetables and Cricket Crack/Bug food and they seem to devour it. I've had them for about three weeks and from the...
If they're 2-4mm they are likely Confused flour beetles or their similar cousin, red flour beetles.
If it can fly, it's a red, if it cannot, it is a confused.
Otherwise I don't know, but I've spent the better part of today and yesterday collecting confused flour beetles.
Welp, now it's been a week and she's still here. Success so far. I've been trying both Hydei fruit flies and 1/8 to 1/4 crickets for her. I know she's interested because she moves down by them, but I have not been watching her closely to see any actual strikes. She seems to hate fruit flies...
I had a tropical type and a temperate type. Both can climb glass, I'd assume that rubbermaid would not be difficult for them.
There will be escapees, guaranteed.
Well the concern specifically was that I had a high ambient temp, which makes setting up a basking spot difficult. I went and got a big yard&garden pump hand sprayer to make the misting and watering easier.
Lastly, I couldn't find another umbrella plant that was of the proper size, so I got...
Went to the show in Wheaton, IL yesterday to get some supplies for my current feeders and gecko/frogs. Walked around a bit getting this or that(finally got a digital hygrometer!) and saw a single female pygmy for sale around 15$ by a frog vendor. Supposedly he visited a friend getting out of...
Didnt see that this was responded to. Wanted to let you know the show is still very fun to attend. I felt the wide array of obscure or newly discovered gecko species was the winner, alongside the baby Mellers hatching. Can't wait for November.
I got into contact with a few people to try and get some CB Acuminatus in the future, so for now I am shoring up my feeder breeding operations while I wait to move at the end of the month.
I've expanded the breeding feeder list to include: Dubias, Six Spotters, pill bugs and sow bugs...
Aw Bollocks! I posted up to see who was going to Sewerfest. Totally saw the babies and mentioned this post describing them on your carseat.
P.S. Adorable and wished I had the room for them.
It's a twice a year show, and the last time I was there there were some baby pygmies on display but not available at the time. Though I can definitely see how it would be very difficult to tell WC from CB at a glance if a company really wanted to skirt the rules. If they're found out, they're...
White distilled vinegar is a popular household cleanser, effective for killing most mold, bacteria, and germs, due to its level of acidity. Cleaning with white distilled vinegar is a smart way to avoid using harsh chemicals. You’ll also be glad to know that it is environmentally friendly and...
