I also plan to keep this one nice and trimmed. The old one got really overgrown. This one looks great you can see the bottom plants and everything else (hard to tell in photo)
Finally finished (basically, small things needed) added all the new plants (and old plants) and put Rex in. He seems to love it! I also finally set everything on timers haha I always manually did it. What’s difference! Hoping the CUC seeds nicely. I had them in a small deli container for a long...
I’m reading that it could be a bad idea to mix any other species with dwarf whites that eventually the dwarf whites will take over and the other species will die off bc the whites populate too quickly and will take all the resources.
But at the same time I have a 24”x24”x8” deep substrate area...
I know it’s insane I was just looking at the shop I told you about and there’s tons of colorful ones that are about $60 for 10 lol some I think are crazy for just 1.
Looks like my local store is out of the giant canyons but I’ll take a ride there and see what’s in stock for big ones. I think a combo could work good if viable to do so
Idk why I got the dwarf whites bc I doubt Rex would eat any kind of isopod. Maybe I should get some bigger ones to help speed up the cleaning process. I actually found a couple brown ones in my culture idk what kind they were if they even were different but they were bigger and darker
I made two extra springtail cultures and had one dwarf whites but I ended up putting in all the dwarf whites bc my area is really big and I don’t think I had enough and wanted them to populate quickly. There’s a reptile store close tk me that sells them if I ever need any. But my Cham isn’t...
Yeah I have a ton of leaf litter and bought a powdered food for them. I had them in their containers for about 3 weeks and they multiplied quite nicely. I have started extra springtail cultures too from what I had.
I have some pothos in the old one. I bought some wandering Jews (pink ones too but they’ve been a little tough to maintain) zebra plants, money tree, and some other colorful ones I forget the name to lol. I’ll take a look at the prayer plants
Progress.. going to add plants next which is going to be a pain. I’m making my own potting soil and going to transfer the ones I bought plus will be using some from his old cage but need to completely wash out the soil for the tree since it has millipedes and slugs in there. The other plants...
Do you guys rip the legs off grasshoppers when you use them as feeders? Today I noticed just how dangerous they probably are going down my chams throat. I was throwing away a leg and try going against the spine and wow they’re like fish hooks.
Also today I fed my Cham a really large one (which...
Lmao yeah I’ve been speaking to him but had no idea that was his username here so ended up messaging dean twice about it 😂 he helped me out but never worked with this region of the differential.
So by days end I have 4 egg sacks. Maybe more since the sand was a little dry after this one pictured laid them you can’t see the hole anymore. I sprayed them down a bit more. It’s a mix of sand and an organic substrate for a bioactive enclosure I got at a local reptile shop.
