thanks for the suggestions, Ill have to look into them. I dont have any bacteria/parasite/mold issues (that I know of), but the sphagnum on the back does make it difficult to wipe clean. The bottom and sides are bare, so Im not terribly worried about that if I clean it with either. The...

hi all So Ive been spot cleaning as necessary but will eventually want to try a deeper clean to rid any paranoia of building bacteria or mold. Ive read that a number of people try a mild hydrogen peroxide spray with no ill effects. I am mildly worried about its effect on the dead sphagnum...

seems like a common occurrence with the jackson's... as long as theres no difficulty breathing/eating, swelling, or lethargy I wouldnt worry about a respiratory infection or something like mouth rot good luck slowing the hornworm's growth :p I wouldnt worry about the lack of roughage just...

looks good, just make sure to get a temp/humidity gauge so you can get some readings Im sure someone will chime in and tell you to "add more horizontal bars and more plants," Im pretty sure people have that phrase copied onto their clipboard :p It'll give your guy access to a greater thermal...

set it and forget it

eggs are easy as long as your hatching quantities lower than 25,000 at a time there are a couple blogs on this site that detail it pretty well. Short version: get some tupperware, throw a paper towel down and sprinkle however many eggs you want on it, wait a week or two at room temp, babies...

velcro? any worry that these stupid little poop machines will manage to squeeze out?

Im going to put this ad on hold till I can get everyone's requests collated and sent out Once everything is settled, ill let everyone know if there's still more to thin out. Thanks to everyone who offered shipping advice!

If I were to guess Id say a bit unnecessary unless you were away for extended periods of time and wanted a safety net. What kind of controllers were you looking at? in general the requirements of a reef tank are waaaay higher than that of a cham... really with a cham the only thing you could...

um. not quite. "outside time?"

yeah...about as far as I planned, too!

a good guideline, but you dont need to take it literally; some days they'll eat like pigs and some days they'll be brats and only eat a little bit. You might even have a cham who randomly decides to go on hunger strikes for a couple days at a time. whatever the case, variety is key, I believe...

Non. Stop. Eaters. its maddening, glad im not the only one with a mini-plague in their house :p

you can gutload them with all the things that you gutload crickets with, and the moisture of the gutload will be needed to keep them long term and will add to their nutritional level A number of people use them as a staple, they're better than mealworms in terms of nutrition (which are...

my panther wouldnt touch dubias after having no problem with them, guess he got tired of them. I found that if I put a couple super worms in with the dubias in the feeding cup it keeps everyone moving a bit more and he's more likely to eat them. Also, if I found them at the right time, ill grab...

Hey all so as these things (rapidly) grow, Im beginning to realize that my plan to feed them until they were an inch or longer was not a well thought out plan :p needless to say I would like to thin my numbers considerably to save space and food They range from 1/4" to 1/2" and I...

hey all, bit of an update for those of you who use powdered chow to sustain your little babies: I recently grabbed a 10ml syringe and have started using that in lieu of the grater to feed the powdered chow. Mixing the powder with a little more water or not cooking as long leaves it a bit...

im pretty sure they're nowhere near as picky as silks... so any leafy green that makes a good gutload should work (beet, dandelion, collard, carrot, grape leaf, etc).

its all about the gutload; dubias are fine for a cricket fill-in
