Unless you or a friend have a UVB meter to test it, I wouldn't risk it. The 5.0 bulbs are only 13.99 on LLL, that's pretty darn cheap if you ask me.

In the early 90's you could get them for 50 bucks a pop!!

Oh Man. I have the BIGGEST secret crush on Jeff Corwin EVER!!! I am jealous :p Lisa

Because you are a junior member. You are unable to vote in the photo contest until you are a member.

I see a cyclops skull!

If those are from last night, I would bet money they are fertile. Any infertile eggs I have had have never lasted longer than about 3-4 weeks.

That is not true...old wives tale.

Although I have never had a female lay more than one retained clutch, I know others who have had 2 or three. That is quite tricky and probably no way to know for sure. You could hold back a few from that first clutch and look for similarities in the babies :confused: If I were you I would...

It is true that with some females lower temps can stop them from producing eggs. But...in my experience, once they lay, it is a different story trying to get them to stop.

That would be a fine size...three inches depth and width difference is not a big deal. Most people recommend 2x2x4 because that is what is readily available on the market for store bought cages. And yes, they enjoy the feeling of height :)

I would also check the soil of any and all plants in her enclosure.

Is this CA or Vegas?

I dust all of my feeders, as well as gutload properly. My schedule is as follows: Repcal w/D3 twice a month Switch on and of between Herptivite and Reptivite once to twice a month Repcal w/o D3 most other feedings

Although colors are often a good indication, that is not always the case. I have a female that NEVER shows gravid colors. She always shows receptive coloration, even when gravid and laying. I would feel her stomach, and keep an eye on her weight if you have a scale (good investment IMO).

I'd be willing to bet that is a urate. I would bump up his/her hydration. What are you doing as far as hydration needs?

Sheesh, I guess we are lucky. We live in the desert were it gets 105+ easily in the summer. Our apartment is 1200sq ft and have the a/c set to stay between 69-74 all day and night. It's usually always at 73-74. We have 20 cages and our bill for July usage was $179.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my first jacksonii back in 97' when I was on vacation too. Left him with my boyfriend, god only knows what he did.

No problem. No, we have never had any escapees. But like I said, make sure they are not able to grab onto the rim and climb out. If the container is smooth plastic you should have no problem. As far as the cat...could you put the babies in a room that you could block off from the cats? Cats...

I keep my babies in large plastic tubs with no lid on. Just make sure any branches or plants are not too close to the top edge so that they can not crawl out. As far as food in concerned you can also feed them pinhead crickets, newly hatched silkworms, and depending on how large the babies...

Very cute...Do you have any pics of mom and dad too?
