Do not use water in the tray use containers with "NO" holes in it. Don't add water just make sure the moisture does not escape the container. When you think about it monthly , weekly or never burp the container to allow air transfer then close it tightly.
Holes in the container are your enemy.
I have hatched 300+ panthers , snakes and hundreds of geckos with hatchright. Works perfectly for me. Never had a single problem with it for any application.
I ditched vermiculite a long time ago.
I was only asking you because I respect you opinion and thought maybe just maybe I would get another view or possibly a response that agreed with me.
Seems maybe you are taking something too seriously maybe defensive I don't know. We get along fine don't feel Like I am going after you. Your...
No, I like to stalk you too much to delete you :)
To be completely honest I think it is more interesting around here with you than without. :) Welcome back.
What does that have to do with calcium absorption? oxalates cause the same problems with them. Same with iguanas and uromastyx.
My torts eat meal worms sometimes and fruit. I don't get your point at all . All you did was not answer what I asked.
So there is no benifit to spinach at all it has no other vitamins in it. Have any reason it can't be used sometimes? other than the oxalate issue?
I just want to stress geckos don't run on calcium alone. :) Can it be part of the variety? I vote yes.
I had nothing to feed my torts one day...
Hehe I do that all the time. :)
Just wanted to add
It is my understanding oxalates in spinach interfears with the obsorbtion of calcium with the gecko or the animal consuming the spinach (either directly or through the feeder) not the feeder insect itself.
I don't think it was rude it was accurate information delivered with enthusiasm.
Kale is my number one go to green along with collard as they seem to hold up the longest before drying out or rotting. Mustard greens come in third.
I also believe that a little spinach is no problem at all...
