The answer to how long it takes them to hatch is... Yes.
Confused?
Silk Worm eggs most commonly are hatched after a diapause (Semi dormant cool period) ranging several months to one year.
I have hatched them out without diapause but the hatching times are really variable from as...
I purchased my female Nosy Be from them. She's very pretty and very aggressive. She isn't friendly but she dose eat anything I put into her cage. She even runs down crickets.
She's laid 4 clutches of eggs but I have yet to mate her. I think I will breed her this year.
Only problem...
I have a mist king thats been running for about 2 years now. I usually use a mix of bottled spring and distilled water. Occasionally I use tap water. Every few months I remove the spray nozzles and clean out the little screen and soak the nozzles in 50/50 warm water and vinegar for about 20...
He's from Vinnie M of Maggio's Reptiles. I got him in January. He's crazy with variation of coloration. He can become dark grey blue with almost black vertical bars when mad. My other Nosy Be male has vertical bars also but they are a slightly darker blue.
I'm really hoping he develops...
I went to the reptile show in the Tampa area about 2 years ago and I was very (understatement) disappointed. It was cram packed with a collection of the most neglected reptiles I've ever seen in one spot.
I actually felt sorry for the few (3) decent sellers in the place.
I've never been...
Perfect reason to get an automated misting system from one of the sponsors. Then all you need is a few extra crickets and the 3 day vacation should be no problem at all.
And its super easy to have a friend just throw crickets into a cage every day or so than it is to have them spray a cham...
This is the strangest thing I've ever seen.
My juvenile Nosy Be is chewing on the metal rim of his screen cage. I've seen him several times climb down the screen to where there is an edge and just chew on the metal. Later this evening while watching a surveillance video I observed him...
He's pretty close to adult age. My adult male panther really hit the brakes on how much he ate at around that same age. I would make sure he's looking hydrated, nice plump casque, and white urates (The white part of his poop should be white with no discoloration.
Now my male (2 years old)...
You did great IMO. I hate ore packaged crickets. My rationale for being demanding is such. Even bait shops sell better looking crickets than what you get pre-packaged.
I've even bitched if the crickets food and or water looks like crap. I paid hundreds of dollars for my reptiles I'm...
The vet techs love him. They are amazed at how blue he is. One of the techs is in love with his feet. :)
I took his wife Pinky in and they loved her too till she bit the crap out of the vet. I even think I saw her smile after...
Personally I believe his cage is too big for him at this age. If possible I would try putting him into a cage about 1/2 to 1/3 the size of the current cage. If that isn't possible you may want to try cup feeding. Also if whitish part of his poop is yellowish or has some yellow in it he may...
