with the experience you have im sure you know that brackish water is not freshwater, but not quite saltwater.. its pretty much in between the two.. with that said, the salt us as humans ingest or take in is actually different than the salt(s) used for aquariums.. there is a salt product put out...

Decadancin, thankx for the response... looks fairly simple... but effective...

I like the canopy idea.. have to put one together for mine... looks more finished with that with it... did you do any ventilation so the inside of the canopy didn't get too hot from the lights???

fluxlizard... come to think of it she did just finish shedding about 2-3 weeks ago...which is about when the dark colors started... I never thought of that.. figured she was just shedding again.. Could this also explain why the males color never changed...?? So would it be best to get her...

Carl... yes they are both housed together... and have been pretty much since the day I brought them home (which is been almost 2 years now) and the dark colors (with the female only) have only been recently... but I can see accept how it is possible if the color change in her only could be a...

enclosure is 4' X 4' X 2'.. stand is 3' X 2' X2'... cabinet has all the electrical and water setups on the right side and a installed custom feeder tank on the left side...

I have 2 18" double light fixtures for heat and light.. each unit has 2 15" florescent bulbs and one center spot (halogen) light... after looking at your response I removed one of the spots.. the temp seemed to drop to mid to high 70's.. she seems to like to sit on the very top directly...

Mike, I appreciate what you said.. that is something I did not know... nothing in my research said anything about bio chemical stress signs.. just physical signs you can easily see... there is always something to learn... I do take both to the vet on a regular basis (about once a month is...

Unless she's really warm?? if I understood that correctly.. she is normally a light/med green as an adult unless she is "too" warm??? if that's the case.. would the male show the same signs of too much heat?? she's at least a year old and goes light green at night and turns the green/dark...

I built my own enclosures and used aluminum screen completely across the top and a small 6" strip across the bottom of the sides.. the main part of the sides are glass and have not had any issues with that at all... plenty of air circulation without the fear of insects getting loose in the...

you can mount the nozzles without the suction cups... I have used the monsoon system for over two years and have had absolutely no problem... the ones that complain or have issues with them are (most of the time) the ones whom forget to make sure there is always water in the res... as far as...

what is there to look for to know if a female Jackson's is ready to mate?? are there certain colors, actions, behaviors, or anything that is obviously different than normal that will allow me to know for sure or is it pretty much a guessing game with them being live bearers???

take this for what's its worth but I have Jackson's and I have had one male and one female In the same enclosure for over a year now and there has yet to be any issues, fighting, stress or anything that would indicate problems from the being housed together... I understand that they have ranges...

They like both... Mine usually sit under the basking area in the mornings to warm up..then go roaming around.... I'm curious about one thing though... I keep seeing and reading about using both a drip and misting system in the same enclosure... I have been using nothing more than a...

I put a tall glass "tank" together with a screen lid for mine.. crickets cant climb glass so the jumping out is not an issue... I use the thick "paper" egg crates in it....as far as transferring to the enclosure.. I use a small empty fish food container.. I put my dusting in the container...

first thing I can say is loose the substrate... I tried that and it was a huge headache.. for one its a bacteria farm no matter what you do to keep it clean...the reptile carpet works good.. food cant get under it and its pretty easy to clean.. the enclosure is a bit small for her type and...

and his girlfriend.. pic 1 is when I first got her.. pic 2 is recent...

this is their home.. this is what is being redone on the inside... the lighting is actually different now... I have better lighting in the center now... and my big guy who seems to really enjoy his home....

I appreciate tall the suggestions... I did actually sand down the bamboo so it was not longer shiny and it helped create a rough texture for them to grab onto... I did test out one just to see if they would even notice it... when I got home the male was all the way to the top on the bamboo...

had one in my first enclosure... learned real quick mot a good idea... waaaay more work than they are worth... water attracted the crickets and worms which would drown and decay in the water.. had to be removed and thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned every week to get the slime out of and off of...
