Two miniature Dachshunds. Shotsy and Boomer. Boomer is the first male dog I have ever owned and I will never own another female. They fill our house with lots of love and entertainment. They love to go on three mile walks. Their little feet go a mile a minute and they keep up fine. They double...

If you are collecting rocks from the seashore you will want to rinse them several times in a bucket of water over night. Stone is porus and will have absorbed the salt to some extent. This salt will leach back out and possibly kill your plants if that is where you are using them. Better advice...

If this is the cabinet you want to convert I would not jump into it without researching the cabinet first. How old is this cabinet? I have a similar one and it is an antique and worth many hundreds of dollars. The curved glass in the cabinet is very expensive. You may be better off selling the...

He will be fine. They sleep in all kinds of positions it seems.

I built my cage with a screen floor just like the walls. Everything drains into a washing machine pan underneath that drains into a bucket.

Can not tell for sure from the picture but is that an umbrella plant in there too? I'm fairly new to this, but if so, it looks like the wrong kind to me. Please check it out as needed. One kind is good and the other is not.

thanks for the pics. Will help me out to keep the females too.

Cruel spring weather here too. Rain, sleet, a little snow all in the past two days. Green grass still looks better than three feet of white stuff.

About three months of research day and night. One half day of ownership with a one year old panther male. He did not like the three hour car ride home in a box but has settled in nicely. Eating and drinking well. Of course he had to go into a shed during the trip and looks like heck right now...

Thanks for the replies. I will see how it goes for over crowding. Things should boom with enough heat and a steady diet of fruit, veggies and cricket crack. The local (only) pet store within a half hour only handles crickets and meal worms so I might just become the local roach dealer...

On the fence as to building a plastic tub type enclosure for getting a dubia roach colony going. Right now I have a 20 gallon fish tank set up in my basement with a screen lid. It has a small undertank heater pad and also a dome light with a red bulb. Basement temps are 65. Placed 10 egg flats...

Great design, well thought out and the craftsmanship looks top notch. Well done.

3.83 the other day in central Wisconsin. It does have an impact on what I do and where I go. Pricing will vary state to state depending on the amount of "road tax" they put on it vs the other "fees and taxes" the state charges.

Not sure but found this. http://www.petlizardsreptiles.com/8408/is-pachira-aquatica-toxic-to-chameleons/ Doesn't seem to appear on the FLChams list of safe plants either.

Just have to comment that I just set mine up yesterday with the same exact plants in exactly the same placement. I did thin out my umbrella plant some to open things up a bit and allow more air circulation. I am new at this so will be interested in seeing the comments from the senior members of...
