I have used a mercury vapor light for 4 yrs and never had a problem. Until last week that is. I knew it was about time for me to change it out for a new bulb, but had not gotten around it to. The other day after being on for a couple of hours it started to sizzle, pop & smoke. I was afraid it...

I use plant tie, you can find it in the garden area of almost any store, walmart, Fred Meyer, Lows. Its plastic, strong but flexible, a little time consuming to get them all hung, but worth it. I do have to change them out from time to time, the lights make it brittle after a while. It works...

You should check out the enclosure threads so you can maybe get some ideas. There are some really great pic's on there ranging from simple but does the job enclosures up to expensive but very impressive enclosures. It really helped me to see how others have their's set up. Until you are able to...

My veiled is about 18 months old, I got him at 2 months. At first I would reach in and grab him, at about 5 months old he started to get real mad about it. It was upsetting to both of us. I decided to start leaving his door open whenever I was in the room. Before long he started to climb out...

I got my mistking almost a year ago and I love it. Can honestly say that it was well worth every penny. Before getting it I had 2 reptile foggers, each for just a couple months before they got loud & stopped working. Also, the fogger does not allow them to drink like they are able to with the...

From what I understand, its best to wash with hot soapy water and also soak in bleach /water or bake @350° for 20-30 mins. I personally scrub them with a scouring pad, lightly sand anything that feels sharp at all before baking. I also change them out every couple months to help with maintaining...

I have kept my roaches about 85°F and they have done rather well so now I have lots of them. I'm thinking that I'd like to slow them down a bit, just for a while so planning on taking the heat light away & cooling them down to 72° or so. Is it safe to go any lower? Maybe 60-65°? Will the babies...

Does anyone know about pest that could be harmful to cham's? I have been having kind of a hard time with a few different house plants having different pest that I've been doing my best to at least control-hibiscus with aphids, passion flower with spider mites, orchids with mealybugs-so far I...

I always wash everything off really well before adding it in my enclosure. Especially plant leaves. They drink the water dripping from the leaves so I would be afraid of any residue left behind that could make him sick. Always better to be safe....

watery/runny urate Someone else asked about watery urates but I didn't see an answer so I wanted to bring it up again. My 11 month old male veiled had a very watery urate this morning. It left more of a big white splat on the floor of his enclosure rather then the nicely formed-hanging from the...

My front yard isn't very big so the street is prob a little less then 15' away. The reason I'm thinking that he's upset by all of the activity is that he hangs sideways on his branch & gets super skinny as if he is trying to hide behind it. He does this every time someone/something passes by...

Almost 2 weeks ago I decided to move my 10 month old veiled to a different room on the other side of the house. The room he was in has the wood stove & soon it will be in use & much to hot for him there. At frist I thought this was going to be great for him, he'd get to look outside-he loves to...
