    Cheap and Effective Rain Dripper

    I thought of doing this over a year ago and just never followed through. I have plenty of experience with aquariums and thought these air stones would make great irrigation drippers. Now I’m kicking myself for waiting so long, it works great! Everyone has a little dripper. So get...

    WARNING - The embedded video is very graphic and may disturb some viewers. This 18 month old female Parsons (Cera) has been in my care for just a month, and has an injured tongue. She’s small for her age at only 74 grams but is in good health. All indications are that her tongue got caught...

    Keeping Things Dry

    I make scaffolding with birch branches and zip ties (thanks Neptune!) but never liked the way the branches get wet where they touch the floor. Some clear push pins stuck into the branches keep them up off the floor and dry so they’ll last longer. Just thought I would share!

    Bogus Parsons Advertisement?

    I saw this online and thought it has to be bogus, right? That’s clearly a mature orange-eyed Parsons male. For $750.00 at Texas Reptiles International. I messaged them to see if this is real.

    “Unique Temperment”

    I ordered a juvenile ambilobe male from Fram’s. What sold me was the description of his “unique personality” and that visceral reaction to the photo shoot. This is the way my Herbert was as a baby and he grew up to be a big sweet dinosaur. I’m told this guy is already bigger than the others...

    Spray Your Screens, People

    An often overlooked method for increasing and maintaining humidity is a good old spray on the screens. A Mist King can’t do this. Get a good hand sprayer and hit your screens with some lovin after you’ve soaked the interior of your enclosure. This creates a moisture buffer and will hold...

    My Crickets Don’t Die

    I buy 50 crickets weekly and keep them in a clean black bucket under my grasshopper enclosures with no lid. The bucket is new so the sides are smooth. They can’t climb or jump out. And it’s really dark under there. I just toss them in the bucket and give them food. They have no cardboard...
