helpful hint just a lil hint.. instead of twisties for the branches, grab a spool of fishing line... Works like magic and doesnt rust!

water after trying to find a solution ,following many gallons with nowhere to go, i figure a 5 inch hole with a screen adhered to it ,and a bucket underneath is the way to go!!!!!!!!!! Good luck,it is a work in progress> Stephen

wattage I live in southern ontario and find it necessary to utilize a 125 w. check your temps and good luck!!! Stephen

I also drill saw a hole in the bottom of the enclosure and glue a piece of screen underneath it to keep the crickets and cham in!! With a plant near it , the weight allows for the water to drain properly into a bucket..

PARSONII (wishful thinking). My next cham is going to be the next egg to hatch! 3 hatched and 20 to go. Blue-barred ambilobe,i might add.

seven months and 9 days later. my blue barred ambilobe eggs are hatching. 2 of and running in the nursery,21 to go. Very busy weekend!! I am a chef in the city of toronto and of course they had to hatch on my busiest weekend of the summer!!! Lots of fun!!! cigars for everyone! Stephen

classrooms I have done this before with a very friendly male.It helps if the teacher conducts her class with a great deal of obediance. In a warm and controlled environment,i kept him in his sack until it was time and the kids were ready.Of course as soon as they see him,you realize the...

I have been using exo-terras 160 watt solar glo on my large enclosure during the canadian winter. Now that summer is on the horizon i would like to downscale to 100-125 watts.(they get natural uvb throughout the week). has anyone used a uvb meter on the exoterra,zoo med or t-rex lamps. Any...

The money would be definitely well spent, but the prison time in a small dark cell for pocketing a few parsonii would be a little awkward!!!! Stephen

Thanx fritz. I just need something to mist the babies a few times in the afternoon, This might be the route to take. Zoo med is a great company who usually "get it" when it comes to our herp needs,wonder what happened in this case. Stephen

I am putting a system together from mist king in the next few weeks but i am not sure if the nozzles they carry will be appropriate for a micro environment. I was thinking of the habba for the nursery!!! stephen

most of us have heard varying opinions on zoomeds habba mist. I am interested in hearing any comments of success or failure in using them in new born housing. I would like to use a 10 gallon glass tank with zillas cage extension on top with the aforementioned mister.. Any comments? Thank you...

new cham Beautiful!!! Reading your zoo inhabitants makes me curious as to why so many females. Besides the obvious (breeding) and if that is what you have in mind,,you is totally set up !!!!!!!!!! Stephen

parsonii That aint no cham,thats a freakin' beautiful dinosaur!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hatchling Very interesting (and economical) set up for a hatchling.Impressive!!! Would you put a single hatchling in each unit. Also if i may ask, would you place these under a repti-sun 5.0 ? Thank you Dean, beautiful panthers! Stephen

Repti-fogger It looks like it might be a good idea for a single enclosure,but my addiction is severe and my collection is growing,(not to mention the eggs incubating).I believe it is time to talk to my friendly neighbourhood Mist King. This will solve a few problems at once and is better long...

I was just on herp supplies.com website and noticed a new product. a Repti fogger!! Wow, zoo med sure know where it is at when it comes to herping. Anyone have any experience with these? Stephen

yea, thats the stuff.There is also something called pet screen which is more durable but not as good for visibility. Good luck and send some pics on your progress! Stephen

screen I use a black aluminum screen which should be available in the U.K. at a large hardware store.If not they will probably know where to get it. The fine black mesh keeps crickets in and is excellent for visibility. stephen

substrate In the beginning i couldnt live with the thought of a bare pvc bottom in my enclosure. Coconut fibre was used for a month. After some experience and dealing with all the water (and there should be lots of water),cleaning it up and leaving it bare , i see that it is definitely the way...
