    Yay baby silkworms

    I think so. At least this is what I am trying. I think you have to refrigerate new eggs when the turn from yellow to gray for 2-3 weeks. When you remove them from the refrigerator it simulates spring and they get the message to hatch. At least this is what I have read in researching. I...

    Yay baby silkworms

    Ok. It looks like I will have to put food right on top of them then. I was talking to them, saying; "it's right there!" Like they could hear me. I bought some cross stitch canvas to hopefully allow the poo to fall to the bottom.

    I could see myself doing thus. At leads I have a bearded dragon and leopard gecko that will eat anything that moves.

    Yay baby silkworms

    I think there are like 100 hatched so far. I've read they will die if the don't eat in 24 hours. There are some not trying to look for the globs of chow. My husband came home to find me with a magnifying glass and a toothpick shuttling them to the globs. I think I paid $60 for the eggs...

    Yay baby silkworms

    So this is my first anything with silkworms. I ordered 500 eggs from coastal and put them in a 10 gallon with a 60 watt red heat lamp and a moist paper towel. Temp at 82 degrees. They started hatching this morning on the 9th day. I have been checking them like crazy and was feeling like...

    Fritz lets me hold him now

    Very cool! I am going thru this with my male. He is very shy and will let me "act like his branch" once a week. This last time I got hissed at because he thought he was king of my head and did not want to be retrieved.

    Future Husband and Wife

    So it has been a while since I have posted pics. My little ones are getting so big so I thought I would share how they are doing. My female is named "Skittles" and she is a 4 month old Sambava X Ambilobe cross. She is a beautiful orange with little bits of green. She is a lazy hunter but...

    Help a Daddy Out!!

    Here is the care sheet from beardeddragon.org. For diet, juveniles eat mostly bugs while adults eat mostly plant matter. But, each Beardie is different. I leave a bowl of leafy salad in spike's cage, but he will typically only eat it if I hand feed him (what a diva). They don't drink...

    Baby Veiled From LLL Reptile Died Tonight.

    I am very sorry for the loss of your precious baby. I agree that you might want to contact LLL directly to determine a solution. It sounds like they are willing to work something out. I purchased a baby cross almost 2 months ago from them. She is growing and thriving. I did experience an...
