Oh yeah I remember Elwood! I lurk a lot here taking in info and looking at what people ask about so I have an idea when it happens to me lol I want an ambilobe but nosy be chams are so beautiful too! I wish I could have one from each locale lol
Well I'm almost ready to do the full commitment and get a baby panther. A week maybe two. Yesterday I received my dual t5 fixture from Lightyourreptiles so now I just need to get 2 plants, wash them and repot them. Got 5 branches I'll be placing horizontally in a decline from basking to cool...
That's what I was thinking on doing too but wasn't totally sure lol thank you! I happened to have ordered some aquarium silicone because I was gonna make some "vines" with coconut fiber and nylon rope. I guess it'll be this weekend project so I cover the bamboo since I already cut it all. Thanks...
The bamboo is not for climbing just for support but I could see how a little guy can use it for climbing. Would wrapping it on jute twine be ok? The bamboo is slippery but completely dry. I cut pieces and some parts are even hollow. I was gonna use a bamboo mat to cover one or two sides of the...
For my dubias I cut a square on the lid about 4 inches wide and 6 long and covered both sides with plastic screen mesh from home Depot. I used a hot glue gun to attach it. I also rubbed Vaseline on the lip of the Rubbermaid bin in case they reach, they'll just slip off. Not one has ever gotten...
So I'm building a frame inside my cage to support plants, vines, and horizontal branches and I was wondering if bamboo can be used. The one that is sold at home depot/lowes for gardening. The 4 main vertical poles are some metal rods covered in plastic that also are used for gardening but I was...
I'm on the same train as you! I got pretty much everything except the live plants since I'm still waiting for my Arcadia fixture to get here. Mistking, 2 manzanita trees, some fake vines, I'm building a frame inside his cage to support everything, got my temp gun, digital humidity and...
Hi, I'm fairly new and yet to acquire a chameleon but I've been doing extensive research. My 2 cents is that u get a regular house bulb for the heat source lamp since blue day lights could cause eye problems from what I've read from jjdog or w.email his name is lol check the caresheet for veiled...
Never bought from them for my bearded dragon but I've seen it recommended in other forums. I usually get my worms from rainbowmealworms since it's here in Los Angeles and if I don't drive there, shipping is quick. Ive seen mullberry has good sales thou
From what I've read you need a special plant light like the jungle dawn from light your reptiles.com or a light that emits high lumens and has a brightness of at least 5500k but it's better if it's 6500k. Lightyourreptiles.com offers a dual t5 ho fixture with one 6500k tube and Arcadia 6% which...
I've never shipped insects but from one of the places I ordered they used a regular small box with a live animal label. The dubias were in a little sack with a heat pack. When I ordered hornworms they did use a box with 2 small screen sides that were made by the USPS from what it looked like...
Wow! Amazing enclosure! I wish I had these set of skills. I've been looking into building one but I see people having great success finding furniture and reconditioning it. Might just go to a thrift store and try.
Interesting post. I thought they all loved them. I have a healthy colony for my bearded dragon but he is only eating a few here and there so I had to lower their temp so they don't reproduce and also lower their food portions. I'm yet to get a chameleon but now that I read this I might have to...
Oh man that happened to me last year. My 7 year old corn snake got out because I had a few drinks and was showing it to my little nephews, I went to put her back and didn't close his tank properly, when I went to sleep I noticed he wasn't there and myou sliding door that leads to the backyard...
So I ordered the dual t5 fixture you pointed out. I have a baby cage for now 18x18x36, so it'll be a bit too big but I don't see an issue with that as the cage I plan on building will most likely be 2x2x4 or 3x3x4. zilla timer is already on the way along with some aquarium silicone for the...
