Aha...that pitcher plant sounds like a great plan. The driftwood is already imbedded permanently in foam and silicone, and packed with coco fiber and moss inlay. I'll try the no pest strip too. They sell a "no pest strip" type of product for putting in birds cages, and I used one in a lizard...

I've noticed that after I set up my viv, there have been what seem to be different species of insects that have appeared. Some seem to be nats, possibley fruit flies, a few baby slugs, and now I'm seeing tiny pinhead sized white bugs on some of the drift wood. I got all the plants from...

Great to hear that yours are doing so well, Brad. I know there are pros and cons to both CB and WC. My main reason for going CB is that I want the challenge of raising them from a very young age to breeding age. I'm getting them from Mike in FL, so I know at least they'll be healthy to begin...

Give a shout if you Have Pygmy Brev's that you got in the mail. My question to y'all: I'm wondering what the mortality rate is, and if you received yours all alive, or if any were DOA. I want to end up with a trio of 1.2, and am getting cb young ones. Should I start with 2.3 to factor in a...

It sounds like an awesome set up. Probably not a good idea for pygs though. These guys live in damp mountainous areas, as opposed to lowland bogs or pond terrain. Do some more research, but from what I've heard, by putting them in a water environment you could risk death by drowning.

I bought the compressed bricks of coco bedding, and just broke them up and put the chunks in a blender to pulverize it. The coco fiber that I smashed into the wet silicone was compact and dry. I think that may have helped it adhere to the silicone. Then, when I eventually sprayed water onto it...

Pics Not sure why my pics didn't post, but I'll try again. Here area the various stages of coco bedding in silicone in my viv.

Did you tip the viv on it's back, or on it's side to pack the coco bedding onto the silicone? That way gravity will keep the bedding on the silicone until it's dry. Be liberal in your application of the fiber and the silicone, and just gently squish it into the wet silicone. Here's a link to a...

They're beautiful. How long before you can tell males from females?

Awesome babes! I'm fairly new to the forum. Questions for you: What is the scientific name for quads? (I'm guessing that means 4 horns). Are they in the same genus as Jackson's? Where did you get yours? Thanks :)

The Juragon looks pretty impressive, huh. It's so pricey though. Brad Ramsey posted a link to a mini refridgerator that looks like it could be awesome as an incubator http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/gear/6ad2/

Can you tell Males from females at this age with Jackson's? Just curious when the guys start getting horns.

Hi....I don't have that model, but would be interested in knowing what you find out. I've done a lot of searching on this subject, and have come up with a small handful of incubators. The Hova-Bator seems pretty straightforward. It's the humidity control that I wonder about. Here's a new model...

That sounds very cool. I'm wondering about the moisture though. How about lining the inside with glass or plexiglass? Here's a great resource I used to make my viv. http://www.blackjungle.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=2108

No worries, thanks Marty. :)

Ok, I got it. The dynamic of taking the blue clip out, and then pushing downward on the collet while pulling apart the nozzle at each joint was very unclear to me :)

Oh, hehe, Marty is here. Hey Marty..... So, is it ok that I pull HARD on the collets to take apart the nozzles so I can replace the blue/white with all black?

Absolutely, the PDF directions are straightforward. But once you're holding onto the nozzle and trying to pull it apart (to replace with the black collets) you'll know what I mean. It's purely aesthetic...I don't really "need" to replace all the blue/white collets, but I want the nozzle to be...

Hi Forum. I'm at a stand still with the MistKing. It arrived a few days ago, and every time I try to get support (which you can only get via email) They've sent short replies that leave questions unanswered. I have a sinking feeling this system is mostly for pro's who know what they're doing...

Excellent! How many eggs did you get? How have your WC females been doing since you got them?
