I know I'm late to the party here but I'd like to add that using Glad's Press 'n Seal plastic wrap has worked wonders for me. I just keep them in a 10 gal and dot it plastic with needle holes for air and cover the plastic with the tank lid for weight
Background: I have a colony of FFF that's doing great. I've been keeping them in a 10gal with Press 'n Seal Wrap (with tiny holes in it) to keep them inside. I'm also growing various carnivorous plants with the flies cuz they need to eat too. The humidity is up, substrate is garden soil and leaf...
Thanks! Do I have to get one specifically for reptiles or will any UV meter (like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224806601391?hash=item34578482af:g:GScAAOSwdNFh76OF) do?
Hello All!
I have two Jacksons (male and gravid female) and a Helmeted (male), all enclosures have a Arcadia 22" 24W T5 bulb. Back when I was into veilds, I was told to change the bulb every 6 months... so I still have been... but the Arcadia website says the bulbs have a lifespan of 1 year...
