I too am going to try the stick and cup method for my brevs, thank you for the advice ^_^

I just founf a culture and extra media at lllreptile, but do I really need the moss? And how do I get those tiny little things into my habitat? Dump them? EDIT: Oh yeah, and how many should each adult pgymy get and how many should each juvenile pygmy get? And how long after they hatch...

Thank you very much for the informative answer =) I've never dealt with fruitflies but want to use them for my pygmies. It sounds easy enough so I think I can handle it. =D

Thank you for the iunput., the kit looks all inclusive. Let me get this straight though: I start with grown flies that lay eggs and the eggs grow up to produce more flies while the older flies mate with the younger flies? Is that right? I'm just making sure I've got it under control. WHat...

How long before I order my brevs should I order my fruit fly culture.

Thank you so much for the helpful info on fruitflies. I plan to buy a kit from flchams and try to breed my own. Are they easy to get breeding?

Thank you and I'm going to buy them in March =) I'm sooo excited, March seems like decades away LOL

One male and four females from flchams (x2) UVB/UVA light (One for the babies and one for the adult) Fruit fly kit (LLLReptile.com) Hydroton clay balls (LLLReptile.com) Spaghnum moss Ten gallon aquarium Twenty gallon tank (x2) Kritter Keeper (one for the eggs, and one for the crickets)...

There is a little insert image button at the top of the reply box, it looks like a mountain with a yellow background. COngrats! He sounds just lovely and I'm very happy for you. It sounds like he is settling in great.

If I buy a fruitfly kit at lllreptiles does it come with instructions on how to raise them? If not will you guys let me know how to raise these little guys please?

LOL I'm sorry about the confusion, I thought you meant microscope. Silly me. ^_^

I added that to my caresheet. Thank you very much for your input. =) I'm so excited about getting my project up and going. I went out and bought about $300 worth of stuff for my set up today and I can't wait to spend $600 more to get this up and going--my fiance thinks I've lost my mind. lol

Ooh pretty brev habitat you have set up there! And thatnks for responding, I think I'll plant just into the substrate too.

Now I'm working on a caresheet to give out when I get my little babies raised. Please comment on it and tell me how to make it better. What I should add, what I should take out, etc. I'd like to keep it at one page to pass out to prospective buyers. Thank you for your help, here it is...

Oh, and what age should I raise my babies to before selling them? I understand that hatchlings are very delicate and need a good start before the stress of a new environment and new people sets in. I read somewhere around six to eight weeks, does that sound right to you guys?

Awwa, that's so cute! Thank you for sharing. =) One other question I had was do I plant my pothos right in the coconut fiber with the brevs or do I use a pot? And if I do use a pot what do I do if my brev digs a hole and lays her eggs there, would I just uproot the plant?

Thank you, I'll get myself some spraghum moss to go with my vermiculite then. I appreciate the advice. Can you tell me what your first brev breeding experience was like please? I want to know what to expect. ^_^ Thank you!

When my eggs are layed do I bury them in the vermiculite or lie them on top?

Can some of you guys let me know about your personal experiences with breeding these little fellas? Any problems you may have encountered, how you cared for brand new babies, etc. It would help and thank you.

Congrats! I'm sure the shed will look cool under the microscope. =)
