i am an orchid expert! at least id like to think so with phal orchids... i have 6 orchids right now and they are all starting to flower... pix shortly... as for watering depends on the soil and what they are doing... when flowering they need more water so keep that in mind when planted in a...

i read somewhere one time that someone had luck when throwing a cricket in with the mating couple to initiate the mating instead of having them just awkwardly look at each other or be angry

ive had a similar issue where noone responded to my threads... i think it depends on when you start it... later in the evening seems to attract a lot of attention because the more relaible and knowledgeable members have the will and time to respond as opposed to the morning... if i knew...

good news, then i have dubias

lol! great answer. picture is a little blury, and she looks like she is a bit shy

Blaberus discoidalis http://www.wormman.com/pd_false.cfm dubia http://www.nyworms.com/dubiacare.htm

the false deaths head both have wings just like the dubias... the males have long wings that cover the entire abdomen, and the females have short stubs... i think thats right if i didnt get them confused thats why im confused on what they are, the only diff i could find is that one had two...

wonderful! thank you for the information!! i just swapped out her bulb and im going to leave her for a few days since she had a fairly big meal today. i think she will be OK since she likes to sit out on the window witch is closer to 73* and she has been out there for 4-6 hours of the day and...

i dont really want them to have wings anyway :P no need for fluttering roaches also... does anyone know the diff between false deaths head and dubia? i looked at some pics and im not sure what i have...

get yourself a feeding cup, a simple disposeable cup or a feeder that is basically a milk jug that has mostly been cut away with a strip of wire or whatever for the bugs to climb up... keeps bugs contained but lets them roam enough to catch your babys attention... plans for a feeder cup are on...

i feed on average 7 med crix a day since she is probably 4-6 months old and just getting her colors. basking temps are 90-85, cage temps durring the day are 74 ish, night drops to 68ish, humidity above the plants seems low 30%, but below the plants ranges from high 30% to 70% after i mist...

from an engineering and physics standpoint it can work... you just have to make sure of 2 things... one the magnet is sufficiently strong to hold your cham (at full size i imagine) and whatever the decoration is, and for the magnet to have enough surface area or a high coefficient of static...

i believe the mist king uses a 5gal bucket, you could get a floater asembly and a simple under sink RO filter, and hook the floater up to the RO line and stick it in the bucket much like the top of a toilet tank so you will never have to refill the mistking... throw some older pennies that...

about how much sand do you put in this bin and about what age should i put a bin in for my female veiled?

could the locust have shedded? and... sorry to hijack the thread, but along the same lines, i have some false deaths head roaches in a tub that i threw some small-med sized crix into, there are probably only a dozen roaches and half a dozen crix... do i need to be worried about the roaches...

all is well, just keep an eye on him and his excrement. there is a reason they recomend cages no higher than 20in for babys, so they are less likey to get hurt when they fall... they have to learn sometime mine (female yemen) fell a few inches once and she instantly flipped back over and...

im sure it depends on how perverted your chameleon is and if they have exposure to females. i hypothesize that if you do not have any female chams around he will be none the wiser

depends on how big your cage is and where it is placed, i dont think it should be a problem though

i use a 100 wat zoomed in my 18x18x20 cage and it keeps the temps in a good range... so use what works. althoguh a house bulb is cheaper :P

technically the glass terrariums that some people recommend are better at heat and humidity retention while keeping the needed airflow all a part of the cage... these cages work well, however, most people work with screened cages because they use live plants to boost humidity, makes the cage...
