On that note, I buy from Josh's frogs and they come with a little tip. Keep hornies in the fridge for 2 days then out for 1 to slow down their growth. I forget the temps, I just stick them in there towards the front and haven't had any issues....except that my dude gorges himself on them and a...
It's totally messed up. I was just kidding. Crickets piss me off tho when they won't get out of the Tupperware and I end up dropping g it all over the plants in my enclosure. It's a pain in the butt to clean up. Crickets are escape artists too, can't even tell you how many times I've found a...
I use little mini tupperwares for my vitamin mixes. I have 3 ready, calcium with pollen, calcium with herptivite and pollen, then reptivite with d3 plus repashy calcium plus pollen. They're 3.5"×3.5"×3.5". If your crickets are a little too hyper, just shake em extra hard...it calms em right...
So I've been seeing In places that our chams like praying mantids? Do I just buy the Chinese mantis oothes and hatch them? How do I gutload them? Are they a healthy feeder? Can I free range them In my Jackson's enclosure?
My Jackson's s dis the same thing and hornworms broke it. Even when he's shedding and being super picky he can't pass one up.
Get some hornies. Also, blue bottle fly spikes and hatch them. My Jackson's goes bananas for flying feeders. The bsf's would be better if you hatches them but I haven't...
I have 5 live plants in my enclosure. When i first bought them I cleaned the roots and plant off in water then repotted them in an organic potting soil. I added a bunch of pearlite to the mix (not the most natural thing, I know) after rinsing it because I have a Jackson's and there is a lot of...
Hornworms! I had the same problem with my Jackson's in the beginning, he got tired of crickets and superworms. Hornworms broke his hunger strike. Every cham keeper should have a few of these tasty guys in the house. They're a great quality feeder and have no exo skeleton so impaction won't...
In my little bit of experience I've found your observation to be spot on. My guy loves crickets, hornworms, and blue bottle flies. However I can't feed him any 1 thing repetively. I've found he eats best when I have a variety of feeders loose in his enclosure. The flies are awesome for a casual...
The yellow circle down low is my ambient temperature gauge and the blue and orange circle up top is where I measure basking temp.
The second pic is my current environment. Yellow is basking temp, the black zilla gauge is my ambient info
It's been sitting more at 68 or 69 during the day where the therm sits. I'll show you where it's at in a pic. I also have a therm sensor on a vine where he perches to bask .He spends a lot of time there, leaning to the side and flared out to catch more heat. Which is why I'm trying to get the...
So I have the new tank all set up. The 2 by 2 by 4ft clearside dragonstrand enclosure. I have his basking spot dead on at 85 however the rest of the enclosure is wanting to hover around 69 or 70. I had picked up an undertank heating pad for the old smaller one and had it between the corrugated...
