Just wondering if those of you who have had pgymy brevs hatch before know when they need to eat their first meal? Mine are hatching now, and one is already out of his shell. I bought fruit flies too early, thinking the eggs would hatch about a month ago, and the flies are dead now. I just...

Any input from those of you with pygs on what a "normal" time frame is for a female brev to lay her eggs? Mine has been in her little hole since before dawn, and it's 8:30PM now. I see one egg next to her. Her last clutch, about a month and a half ago, she was done in about 10 hrs. I'm hoping...

My two clutches of Brev eggs are incubating very nicely. These are my first clutches, and I have yet another question for the experienced among us... I have them in tupperware with vermiculite. When I put them in there, I basically soaked the vermiculite first, drained it without squeezing it...

Hi all.... a few questions for the experienced out there..... My first gravid female brev, who is huge, is now digging a hole as I type. I live in Seattle, and keep my house around 68 degrees, although it can fall to lower 60's at night. Just wondering what the consensus is for Brev owners...

Hi gang, My Brevs are almost a year old now, and not really showing interest in mating. The female doesn't seem gravid, and the male doesn't seem too interested in her. I've heard they start being sexually active as early as 4 months, yet mine are a year old. Have any of you with Brevs...

Hey gang....one of my 4 pygmy brevs has had his eyes stuck shut for about 3 weeks now. It seems that one eye may be able to get un-stuck, and open, but before long it's glued shut again. I've tried neosporin ointment on his eyes, and it seemed to help temporarily, only to close again. He's...

Both eyes on my male Brev seem to be kind of fogged over. It looks like a dry film. He recently shed his skin, so I'm thinking that his eyes may simply be the last part to shed? Has anyone else come across this? I just don't want to wait if I should act upon a remedy before it's too late. Not...

I noticed that my male pygmy brev has a fresh wound on one of his eye turrets (sp). It's just a tiny scratch, but it looks raw. Any suggestions as to what I could or should do to help this heal?

Hey there... question for all you brev experts: How old do you let young male brevs get before you separate them? I bought 2.2 young brevs, and am just curious. I don't want them to stress, but it's easier right now to keep them all together. Thanks in advance!

I just got my first order of fruit flies for my baby brevs. They came in a tall deli-type container filled with string or hemp or something, with goop at the bottom. The flies are swarming throughout. What do I do with them as far as keeping them alive? Do I just keep them in the deli...

Hey gang.....any of you experienced brev owners know the answer to that? I just got a trio of CB young brevs, and they went right to the top of the temporary enclosure I have them in. It's the upper 60's here in Seattle. Think they're just trying to get some extra light? I put them in a 2...

Hi there.....Just wondering if anyone knows of any feeding bowl that could contain pinhead crickets so they can't (or very few of them can) escape into my terrarium? I've seen the exo terra meal worm bowls that have an inward curling lip, but am not sure that would stop a cricket from crawling...

Hey Gang.... I just ordered a trio of juvenile pygmy brevs (not even two months old), and am also ordering crickets for them. I realized that I'm not sure how many pinheads I should order the first time around. For those who have raised neonate brevs, approximately how many crickets do they eat...

Hey gang.... Any input from those who have raised neonate brevs would be greatly appreciated. I'm getting 1.2 very young ones from Mike at FLChams. My terrarium is 18x18x24 exo terra. I have it pretty well planted, and am training the creeping fig to climb some of the faux vines. I'll add some...

I've noticed that after I set up my viv, there have been what seem to be different species of insects that have appeared. Some seem to be nats, possibley fruit flies, a few baby slugs, and now I'm seeing tiny pinhead sized white bugs on some of the drift wood. I got all the plants from...

Give a shout if you Have Pygmy Brev's that you got in the mail. My question to y'all: I'm wondering what the mortality rate is, and if you received yours all alive, or if any were DOA. I want to end up with a trio of 1.2, and am getting cb young ones. Should I start with 2.3 to factor in a...

Hi Forum. I'm at a stand still with the MistKing. It arrived a few days ago, and every time I try to get support (which you can only get via email) They've sent short replies that leave questions unanswered. I have a sinking feeling this system is mostly for pro's who know what they're doing...

Just wondering what everyone's experiences have been with hygrometers and correct humidity readings. I have my hygrometer set in the middle of the enclosure, disguised amongst the foliage. It started out in the 60's, and then went up to the 70's and 80's. Now it's on 99% all the time. I'm just...

Ok I've added most of the plants to my future Brev Condo. I'm still going to add some more epiphytes, leaf litter, and maybe some more miniature plant species, but it's pretty much done. Now I need for the Shefflera and palms that I planted to grow. Once they fill in, I think the foliage will be...

Question for everyone who has Brev's, or has raised them in the past. I live in the Seattle area, so it can get quite chilly in the winter. My Vivarium will be set up in my living room. In winter we keep the room temp at 68 at night. I'm sure it falls below that, but that's where we have it...
