Complete diy description. So start your fly cultures (and dont wonder if now your all of your friends thinking you are going mad;))
Drosophilas live nearly everywhere where organic stuff is decomposing. Here's for example a recipe how to breed them: http://www.reptilia.be/dendrobates_azureus/feeder_insects.html
For dartfrogs they are a staple feeder, so the dartfrog community knows multiple ways to breed them without...
Based on the assumption that the cage is in the house - the night drop cant be that severe. Or say it this way: As long as you dont live in a barn, the night drop can't be so hard for the chameleon that it will get problems.
For pardalis 65°F are good, calyptratus and many others have no...
WC = wild caught = billiger Wildfang
CB = captive breed = Nachzucht in Gefangenschaft
Farmraised = Farmzucht = Wildfang der für ein paar Wochen in nem Käfig im exportierenden Land war ;)
F1 = first filialgeneration = Wildfangweibchen wird trächtig in den Käfig gesperrt bis sie ablegt
Of course there are many ways to get your terrarium cheap ! Here are the points which can help you to save many many $s:
-Build your terrarium yourself if possible. Here you can save several hundret $s depending on the size you want
-Buy the plants from local ebay ads or craigslist etc...
So here comes the second part, again first of all the needed things at the beginning:
Here you can see a silicone tube, two E-profiles, one for the top and one for the down part, a sellotape and some rags to clean the E-profiles and the aluminium surface. The E-profiles and the aluminium...
Will post the second part in an hour or so.
@Jim: At first I got those square profiles from shops which offer diy articles for aviaries. The aluminium screen is listed in shops for avoid biting insects. The cheapest source for the profiles are shops for industrial purposes. I get those...
Thanks for the nice words ! I will post the secon part on Thursday if I can finish there some.
@Jon: I will try this probably in the future, my father told me the same already. With the small cages I will probably keep on building with rivets.
@Tyrone: Of course Bradypodions and Trioceros ;)
Hi,
first of all some words why I started to build aluminium cages on my own:
Here in Germany we dont have many professional suppliers for aluminium cages. Reptibreeze are available, but on really high prices (which will go up !), but I wont spend money on cages which will last just 3-4 years...
The number one source is terraristik.com. There are 1000s of ads online. A pet shop is for reptiles probably the worst possible source, especially for chameleons.
I have here some examples for prices in Europe:
K.multituberculata: WC starting at 40€ - up to 150€ in pet shops, CB ones starting at 50€
K.matschiei: CB ones between 100-150€
K.vosselerei: CB starting at 100€
K.oxyrhina: WC pairs starting round 250-300€, CB pairs starting round 300€...
I hope those are real CB hatchlings you were informed about. It's really strange that many parsonii "breeders" dont share informations. Here in Europe "many" persons selling "CB" parsoniis but only a small minority has some pictures and seems to be honest.
The majority seems to be the "Le...
Dear Rob, if someone isnt your opinion thats not bashing and not critisism ... if you dont understand that I can just say sorry.
Its always the same problem here: If people dont get the answers they want to hear, they feel offended.
All I said in my previous post is that I doubt that they...
