I don't think silks are overly sensitive to temperature. I just keep mine in a rubbermaid container with the lid loosely on top outside all the time. Day temps have been about 75-85 where I live and drop to about 60 at night. No casualties. So a constant house temp of 70-72 is fine I think

1) Don't buy a heated rock. A UVB 5.0 light is essential. The only lights I use are a uvb 5 and a household 40w 2) She will lay eggs without breeding. I'm not exactly sure when female veilds develop eggs though but you need to watch this video...

They grow extremely fast. So don't worry about it if you can only order the babies right now, because in a week they will all be about an inch long if you provide them with unlimited food

i ordered the 50 ct butterworms from mulberry a few weeks ago. They come with enough chow to last forever. Keeping them refrigerated slows their metabolism and will make them last longer. It may take a few minutes of sitting at room temperature until they start moving around again, so don't...

mulberryfarms.com sells silks and a wide variety of other feeders. they accept paypal too with a $14.95 minimum purchase or something like that

I apologize for my ignorance, but are insects a delicacy in China? Maybe you could find a vendor to sell you some before they fry them :D im probably dead wrong here though...

My juvi panther is about to grow out of his 16x16x30. I was going to use this for a carpet (female or male, i havent decided yet..) I have read that even this size will be good for one, can someone confirm? To answer your Q I'm sure an 18x18x36 would be good through adulthood from my research

ok thanks guys. 2 have already started doing it on the sides but I thought I would need to make something out of chickenwire or similar. there are quite a few mulberry trees around me but most of them have had their branches cut off up to about 10'. Apparently people are allergic to them so...

I bought too many silks and have about 50 that are ready to start spinning. What can I use so they can start? Do empty egg cartons work? Right now they are in a rubbermaid container and I have been feeding them mulberry leaves from a nearby school.

Yeah he did he poops 2 times a day. It was an accident that I let him eat it, he was just chilling on my hand while I was watching somethin on tv and then BAM. At least it was organic lol

Hi all Took some (bad) pictures of Dexter today with my phone. He didn't really feel like firing up today but when he does his colors are much more spectacular He eats literally everything I put in front of him..so I have to ask if chameleons can overeat and become obese? The other day he...

Be careful about ordering in bulk this time of year. It is very hot and no place will offer a live guarantee. I just got a batch of 1,000 dead crickets. I went to petsmart down the street and bought 2 dollars worth. They didn't even survive the car ride home (10 minutes) because it is so hot...

Lol nothing against you..if I wasn't at work I'd be posting using my phone. I have just noticed the world is quickly moving towards tablets/phones instead of traditional desktops

I hate touchscreen keyboards.

I am leaving for Maui tomorrow for 7 days. Lucky for me, the breeder I bought it from (local) is willing to take care of my juvi panther in exchange for me working at his booth for a day at the upcoming reptile expo. Not a bad tradeoff :)

Soldier ants can still make a bridge over water FYI but I doubt it will happen

kingsnake classifieds always has a bunch of different chams from all across the US

You can use a stick/branch and get him to climb on it to take him out, then let him walk on you when he has no choice lol. Extracting a cham with your hand that is running away from you is kind of an art form you have to master :D

You mention "tank." What type of enclosure do you have him in? Also what type of lights you got/temps?
