I use a screen also. I have been trying to upload a pic of my set up but my computer is having a moment.
Basically what I did was buy some cheap plastic containers at walmart. I cut a square in the top and attached screen there so the males cannot eat the eggs but the females can still lat...
I have a 75 watt bulb on the breeders right now. I have an ambient temp in their bin of about 80 - 82 degrees. I raised the heat because I didnt want it to get too hot. I just started 2 days ago so we will see what kind of results I get.
I am also interested in any info on the crix breeding. We have started our own little crix operation in our office this weekend so we will see how it goes.
I got 40 large crix and there are at least two females that have already mated and are ready to lay. Hopefully they will soon and I will...
Thanks. Ya she will chow down on her ficus and schaffleras but its a no go with the greens. :) I will cut up some apple and offer it to her tonight at dinner. Maybe I will feed her in her cup and put the apple in there so she might get it accidentally. :)
So is it alright to give them oranges? I am curious.
My veiled has no interest in fresh greens. She is about 5 months and I put fresh greens in her enclosure every day and she has yet to touch them.
I cup feed from up in the cage. Brody's cup is twist tied to the side of the cage near the top.
We also release a few crix every day for her to chase. As for water collecting in the cup, I used a hot BBQ poker thing and melted a few holes in the bottom of the cup so the water could drain. If...
I forgot to add that I always feed thawed out frozen pinkies/mice to prevent my snakes from getting injured. I probably would not feed live to my cham for the same reason.
I have snakes so I feed pinkies to them when they are babies but the second they are old/large enough to eat hoppers I switch to them. Pinkies are pretty much all fat. It is what helps them survive.
I have not yet offered one to my cham but I wouldnt have a problem with doing so. I feed a lot...
Thank you all for your responses. I kinda knew that's what they were going to be. It just breaks my heart. :(
I am going to to go with this and start boycotting Petsmart. This isn't the first time I have seen death in there. Just a couple of weeks ago I was telling one of the employees I saw...
Last night I went to Petsmart to pick up some more crix and I happened to stop at their reptiles which I never do. They have a veiled there that is really really not doing good. She is in maybe a 12x12x12 glass tank with one sad little branch and reptile bark on the bottom.
She is turning...
Well. I am a 26 year old web and graphic designer. I also do some free lance photography. I work from home running a punk rock community website here in Tampa.
I am either tending to my zoo of animals, writing and then rewriting code or going to a crazy and loud punk show. I also have a 4...
Ok seeing that seriously sent a nasty shiver down my spine. If I was sitting in my living room and that thing was near me I would probably consider moving (my house). lol
We get some pretty crazy spiders here in Florida but nothing like that. That guy is huge and nasty! EEEEkkkk!
