Is a store bought gut load for crickets necessary? Or can I just use things like potatos, carrots, etc. and sprinkle then with reptile vitamins? At the pet store you pay $7 :eek: for a very small container! I don't breed the crickets, I just need something to hold them over until their doom.:)
What are the names of some very good vitamins to offer my 8 in. female cham? And could you please post how much and when you offer them?
So far I have been offering this twice per week...
I read somewhere that those bulbs don't allow the cham.to digest calcium? Is this true? Or should I use this bulb... http://www.reptilesupply.com/product.php?products_id=166 along with an incandescent bulb?:)
How long should it be before I put them in my cham. screen cage? I swished each one around really good in warm suddzy water, and rinsed them off. Then I replanted them in plain potting soil with peat and perlite. It's been one day so far, and I've been spraying them twice daily and leaving...
My veiled cham. is 8 in. Not a hard time at all getting her to eat fruit and vegetables.;)
1) How much and how often should I offer a vegetable salad?
2) Should I offer my cham. fruit once or twice per week?
3) How many crickets should salad and fruit replace?
Thank you!:)
Ok, well this is the heat bulb I have now...
http://www.reptilesupply.com/product.php?products_id=164 But it is not warm enough for the screen cage. Temp. only 78.4 F! Are these the bulbs you are talking about? If not, should I go with this bulb in 100 watt.?
And if it is, could you...
Sorry for all the question lately:(
My uncle just built a beautiful screen cage for my cham! It's 24 x 24 x 46in. And so it's ready for my chams. transfer, what would be a proper lighting/heating setup?
Thank you!!!:)
From the information I have gathered I was wondering what every one thought of this plan I've made so far?
Sun. - Sat.(every day)= After one hour of light, feed approx. 5-10 crickets. Repeat 1 hour before lights go out.
Sun. = Offer fresh fruit
Mon.& Fri. = ReptoCal/w calcium and D3...
