ok, so i think i got the drainage issue fixed for right now.... i ended up drilling a hole through the saucer and then using small 1/4 irrigation line and some syllicone i plumbed a line from the saucer down to an empty bottle to allow it to drain out. i still have the newspaper under the...
yeah, just to add some weight so the water will flow down to it... well maybe i can do the same idea with the saucer as with the bottom and connect it together and allow it to drain out... maybe just raise the bottom of the cage enough, or just put the tubing through my stand i have it on. what...
yeah, i really like the idea of putting the cage onto a vanity and putting the pot into the actual vanity and letting everything drip out the bottom! very clever idea... im working on trying to figure something similar with my current set up. right now i have my cage on like a printer cart... i...
Im sorry i didnt update the post.... im just giving him reg. calcium w/o d3.... i gotcha with the misting.... how often should i be misting? every hour? every few hours? problem is, i get a large build up of water in the bottom of my cage... im trying to figure out ways of fixing that... i...
i understand what you mean, and i just want to make sure... he was a bright green when we got him from the petstore, and he was that color for a few weeks after we brought him home, but since this mouth rot crap started hes stayed a dark color....
Sorry, i posted it before on another post and just forgot to copy and past it...

heres a couple pictures of him. is his color normal? i thought he should be brighter? or is it because the colors in his cage are darker? by the way, about how old would you say he is? and what size crickets would be best for him? small or large?
ok, so my Jackson is just getting over a case of mouth rot... i think his tongue is injured as well... he hasnt been eatting much and im pretty sure hes dehydrated. I tried to feed him a cricket by hand and he postured up, got his tongue ready and was about to strike at it, but then suddenly he...
That's what I did. Bought a turtle cuttle bone. ill use that... Ok, I didn't think so, but wamted to make sure.... How long does mouth rot typically last? I've been giving him .1 cc of bytril for the last week... Just wondering how long I need to give that to him. Also, any tips on keeping...
ok ill head over to my local pet store and try to get some reg. calcium... not exactly sure where i can get roaches small enough for him to eat.... hes not very big yet.... but thanks for the tips... is it possible to have to high of a humidity level in his cage?
well so far, my jackson seems to be doing ok.... although he still keeps his left eye closed.... today i gave him his meds, but i noticed as im trying to hold his head still and get his mouth to open that maybe i pushed on his eye a bit... maybe the cause?? i hope that it gets better. Today i...

i would like to get a bigger cage, just waiting on the funds.... planning on going to a 2x2x4 foot cage.... as far as the foliage, i dont know what else to do but to wait for my tree to grow? ive got some seeds that i planted in the pot that are just starting to sprout, thought itd look good for...
I got my Jackson about two months ago, and shortly after, i noticed that it looked like he developed a case of mouth rot. I also noticed that he wasnt really eatting or drinking, but i cant be sure on the drinking part. so i took him in to my local vet, who i personally dont really care for...
yeah i saw the post about the digital ones being off... im in the process of calibrating my analog meter just put it in the bag about an hour ago and its up to about 65% humidity... so well see where its at at the end of the day. i noticed a small flat head screw in the back, im assuming that...
ive seen the foggers at the local pet store and thought about those, guess im just not very familiar with them. ive looked at the mist king and the aquazamp systems and they seem to cost just as much as a monsoon system, if not more. plus ill have to pay for shipping... so i dunno. ill give...
my plant is in a plastic pot. my wife wants to go to a place and get a custom pot made with my kids hand prints in it, since it was a fathers day gift. so eventually ill have it in a clay pot. i put the shower curtain around the three sides like everyones suggested and the humidity level is...
