Hello everyone! I have a small problem and was hoping someone with a little more experience could give me some tips. It's starting to cool down here in Memphis and I keep my crickets in the garage in a wood enclosure I built specifically for the purpose. My problem is how to keep them warm...

I bought a small batch (250) of silkworm eggs a while back and since my boy didn't eat even close to half, I figured I'd try to breed some. So far, it's going great! I cut up some empty toilet paper and paper towel tubes, taped them to the sides of a container and transferred all the worms...

I ordered some blue bottle spikes for the first time and when they arrived today, I noticed the package/substrate smelled of ammonia. Seems I remember seeing a post somewhere on here that said if it smelled they needed to be put in fresh substrate. Can someone with more experience let me know if...

I was needing a new bulb, so I figured I'd go ahead and upgrade my lighting system instead of just buying the new bulb. Can't believe the difference! I switched from a Reptisun mercury vapor to a new Arcadia system from Light Your Reptiles, and I honestly couldn't believe the difference. I...

OK, this is a total newbie question, so please be gentle...I'm wanting to find a less-expensive alternative to buying superworm/mealworm bedding every time I need it. I've read post after post about buying wheat and/or oat bran from feed stores and making your own. Here's the thing: none of the...

Like the title says, I have a bunch of superworms (350+) that are too big to feed my juvenile veiled and I'm not sure what to do with them now. I'd rather not start another project, so pupating is out. Any suggestions?

So I received a shipment of crickets yesterday and to my dismay, they packaged them with half a potato! They were 3/8" crickets, sent the normal way (egg crate, screen box), but in the middle was this huge boulder of death. I understand the what they were trying to accomplish, but sheesh! Half a...

As a newbie chameleon owner, I did quite a bit of research on lighting and based on the other great reviews here, I emailed Todd at LightYourReptiles for some advice. Todd was very quick to respond and was more than patient with questions I'm sure he gets asked all the time. So, in short...

I tried ordering from my usual online supplier today and their site said they had "production issues" and wouldn't have any for about three weeks. Since I'm fairly new to ordering crickets online, I'm wondering if this is this a sign of things to come? I'd like to find a supplier that has a...

Good evening! First, let me start by stating that this is my first post, so I'll apologize in advance if it's too long. Secondly, I'm a newbie. I have a 4/5-month-old veiled that I purchased from FL Chams (couldn't be happier) about a month ago and he seems extremely happy. He eats without...
