I bought a heater that is made for a one gallon Betta bowl from petsmart. It will automatically shut off if the water runs dry. The bad part is, it will only shut off once and then the package says the heater has to be thrown away. Now, it doesn't heat my monsoon tank, which is about two...

Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to use something like shop towels or cheap bath towels cut down to size, that can be washed? Might have to do more laundry, but if you had two or three towels per cage, you could do a couple changes before you had to wash them? Just a thought. Anyway, if the...

On the tortoise forum I belong to, we have this kind of subject come up often about not only petstores, but also craigslist ads. My first comment to someone complaining about the care of any animal is as follows. Did you offer some guidance? Ignoring to offer some polite, constructive...

Have you ever gone to the Scotts all animal expo in Wheaton? It's every first Saturday and third Sunday. I haven't yet. Trying to find out if its a good place to go or not. Looking to try and buy a very small number of dubia roaches. I don't want the minimum amount until I know my Cham will eat...

OMG, I hope it's because he's hunched up. His back legs look like they have baby fat rolls. His head looks way too small for his body. I don't know about chams much yet, still newbie. However, I do think it is not good for them to get over weight/fat.

I found her I found her, except hers a him:p People think Nessy is fake, nope I have her/him. Actually I have Houdini. He waits until I am not looking to make his escape out of his cage. The dirty bugger. So I named him Houdini.

Are you still awake? Ya, your thread kinda confusing, but that's okay. I did get something out of it and I am not so concerned anymore. Get to posting so you can get your sleep:D

I am near Wrigleyville. Where abouts are you? I guess between the shedding and the trying to figure out all day how to get out, he just doesn't stop to eat much. He can bask until lights out at 8 so, I don't think there is really anything to worry about with that. I do though leave his food...

Well, the food part, about not eating. Well he has just taken care of that. The crickets are now gone and he ate three hornworms. His appetite is back. Is it bad though that he eats later in the day? It's 6:42p.m. here. I did notice him eat later in the day one other time.

I just got to pet my Cham without gloves, ya. Anyway, he was on my arm, sitting hunched like they do. When I was running my fingers down the sides, from head to tail I could feel his ribs. Is this normal? I can't see his ribs. I'm concerned because he hasn't eaten much. He's been shedding and...

Here is a pic. Your looking through where the door will be. The sides, where you see the support of the 2x2 going from the front towards back. From that point to the top would be plastic. Each side is different. From the same 2x2 down is the screen. The back is the same way, except there is...

I made my veileds cage. 24x24x6 feet tall. I put plastic on the top of the two sides. One side has more screen then plastic. the other side is almost even plastic to screen, the back mostly screen. The door is all screen. I put the plastic on the top of the three sides to help keep in heat and...

I really don't k ow if it would be good or bad. However, you must do a video of it if you do let them loose on those pesty ants. BTW, after the chams has had their fill. Sprinkle oatmeal or cornmeal down where they come in at on the outside of the house/enclosure. It is suppose to take care of...

I don't know enough to help, except to say to make sure your temps and humidity is correct.

Funny you tubes

Ya, I told him all of that. I would rather due the roaches too. The smell of the crickets and the fact that they can and do get out, I really don't like. I was also told by a tortoise forum member that raises them about the heat thing. At least in the winter I couldn't have a problem of them...

LOL, I see lots of single reptile lovers in the near future:D I actually thought I would have already been out on the street. Tortoise, two red eyed frogs, Uromastyx, hermit, chameleon, dog, cat, bird, fish both marine and pond and now the worms. Oh, ya, the crickets that got out and invaded...

If my hubby figures out I'm going to try and raise these worms into moths, well, that might just put him over the edge:eek: Thankfully men don't pay close attention most of the time:D

Good idea. Then a divorce the next day:D
