I have always wondered how much UV regular bulbs put out. Based on this it seems that most have negligible amounts. I wish I owned a meter. i have always wondered how much mine are actually getting even with the special lamps. With distance, screen, etc, there are many variables and I just...
The conversation went like this:
I: hey, you guys have a gravid female cham and she needs to be able to dig down to lay her eggs
They: Yeah, she does that sometimes. She digs around and lays an egg a day or so sometimes.
I: She needs to be put in a bucket or something with 10 inches of...
I started my babies in the usual, small, glass aquarium but it is smaller than "the norm". My eggs haven't all hatched yet so these are spanking new Veileds. I moved them to a screen cage about 36x24x24 or so because they were already on top of each other with only 6 chams in the 5 gallon...
I would love to have a free range set up and am jealous of those of you that do. However, my wife is from and farm and already wants to know why I don't keep my Chams in a barn. I would need to keep "things" from falling on the floor (or shelf or whatever) to keep a happy house. A plastic...
Does anyone know if roaches can see the color red? I know that ants can not, but don't know the deal with roaches. My blaberus hybrids have a heater under their tank, and a lamp. I switched it out for a red bulb just in case, and they are definitely coming out more. What I am trying to...
OK, for what seems like months now I have been taking my male Veiled and putting him in the female's cage, only to have her turn black with turquoise spots and proceed to attack him and chase him off. Poor Raj! This is also bringing up some bad college memories.
About how long after she...
When I left for Iraq (not fun), my Jackson had perfectly straight horns. Upon my return I found that his center, nose horn had turned up. I didn't think much about it until I noticed on one of the sites (I think FLA Chams) that they proudly declare straight horned Jacksons. My question is...
My female Veiled, born last May, is one I intend to breed with my male. I planned on waiting until she is about 9 months old, not wanting to have her get a clutch too soo. Unfortunately, she started scratching around the bottom. I put a box of soil in (not to mention the potted plant already...
I know some of you have UV meters, and wonder if anyone has measured the UV output from the regular, curly, plugs into a regular socket, dept store fluorescent bulbs?
Anyone??
