Colour co-ordinated flowers and Cham :)

That sounds about right, you got a pic? Mine goes lime green at night and like this in the day;

Thanks. I'll try the roach Viagra on them. They've had no babies yet (that I've noticed) and their numbers are dwindling, well, George (my veiled) loves them :) I will be getting more though, so all tips are great fully received.

Thanks. I'll looks for piggletts blog now.

As he got a name, or is he just a "thing"? Strange, because it looks like he's got a nice setup otherwise. Anyone trying a prank like that on any of my animals would have that black skull anally inserted.

There's loads of places selling them over here in the UK, can't remember which one now. So, it seems I've made things difficult for myself by smearing lines of chow onto the new container, I should have left it in big blobs? Edit - does anyone use mesh to separate them, from the old food like...

Quick question - is there an easy way to transfer the baby silkworms to another container? Tried moving them this morning to a large container but seemed to transfer over most of the crud at the same time, not good considering my aim was to "clean them out". I was thinking maybe putting blobs of...

Not got the calci worms yet but I do have baby crickets; And baby silkworms; Everything seems to be happening rather quickly :)

Hello. Not long started myself. :)

Thank you, on all counts :)

I'm assuming that this is a monthly event; today;

Here's what mine looked like, only lasted a day or two though and his behaviour was normal;

Didn't find much of this "chimney effect" on my wooden viv. Feels a whole lot fresher since I put fans on it.

Thanks very much. Maybe I could buy some really small BSF larvae, grow them out, feed some as large larvae and put some in a closed small leaf litter tray with a small exit tube in the enclosure to emerge at their peril.

Cheers pssh. I've now cut up one of them small containers that bugs come in, and using it to keep the food in. I've been contemplating using Cali-worms. Is the only benefit the calcium rich outer casing, or is there any mileage in allowing them to turn into flies? My veiled runs around the...

May as well update this. Now installed two small circulation fans on the roof (one sucking, one blowing), and George loves Dubias. He's getting a bit of a belly on him now :)

Yes, but it does dissipate into the air, it may not be wasted. Either way, I'm game for trying the coiled polystyrene sandwich test.

So, a coiled supply, heat mat, polystyrene sandwich may be the most efficient solution then.

How about coiling the supply line on a heat mat, near the nozzles. Or put a coil at the hottest part of the enclosure, out of the way obviously. I would have thought on a 20 or 30 second spray duration, it's only the water in the pipe that ends up in the enclosure.

Got some rather large brown crickets yesterday. Seems like loads of them were trying to deposit eggs into the food. So I put a small tub of nuked soil in. Some of them dig a tunnel first before doing the deed. The apples are the "stairs" to the tub...
