Thank you, he is a pretty boy but a terror when it comes to bugs-will leap 2 feet to grab one from tongs!
Yeah enclosures get very expensive so I though this one might be too good to be true at under $200. Although not perfect I felt it was a good value. I like the openings for...
Even though this is an upgrade for a crested gecko I wanted to pass along some comments about this new enclosure I tried. It was very reasonable $199 from dubias.com, and is 24 x 18 deep x 36 tall. Not big enough for a large cham but I wonder about a small female jacksons or boehmei, or for baby...
Congrats on him he looks so much better in terms of hydration! Color is fine. They tend to sleep in strange places he will probably change his preference many times. Mine loves to sleep hanging off the MK nozzle.
To add that even with linear bulbs they do not "go out" or even dim but after time no longer provide uvb. So you have to keep track of how long you have burned them or better yet check with a solarmeter.
Careful what you wish for! Dude is so food motivated, he will run down to a food dish in my hand, and hold really firmly onto my hand so I won't take it away lol. And when he sees me he runs to the door with his mouth OPEN so as to save time.
This has its advantages, though-it was super easy...
Thank you for sharing this, it really helps all of us know what to watch for. Please forgive yourself! This can happen inside the cage, too. I witnessed my Meller's go for a BSF on a soft, new umbrella tree leaf; his tongue got the bug but also the leaf and I watched in horror as the whole thing...
The extra male moths I feed off as well-and dead ones go into pitcher plants, so nothing goes to waste.
Strangely enough I like making the chow, I like the earthy smell!
