I opened his enclosure to let some black soldier flies loose in it and he came down so quickly and onto my head I couldn't put the fly tub down quick enough. I slowly backed up and set the container down when all of a sudden he either slipped or walked off my head. (I have hardwood floors) I...
So where I live there are not a lot of days where Antwon could go outside for the day, but I thought maybe it would be nice for him to go out as much as he can. Since he wouldn't be in it very much...could I use a smaller type parrot cage or budgie cage with lots of fake plants? I'm talking...
Antwon is doing excellent!! He has a great appetite and is very social with me!
My night time temps are in the 18C and I can easy get 85-95% humidity.
The thing I find a tad strange is that he doesn’t usually rise till around 10 am even though his lights go on at 7.
Anybody else have a...
So Antwon has decided that crickets don’t agree with his palate any longer and is refusing to eat them. He loves the BSFL and only wants to eat them as well as he will take waxworms, silk worms or superworms. (I only give him one of them a day for a treat)
I know that BSFL are an excellent food...
I can’t believe how much my plants are growing in Antwon’s house!! In two weeks they have really sprouted up! My hibiscus is blooming two flowers a day!!
So as you all know I brought home Antwon last week and he is pretty obsessed with the glass reflection on the sides of my glass tank. I have put black paper on the outside and tons of plant leaves on the inside against the glass…but he still finds spots to surf.
So…I made a paste from some...
I’m sure this is normal behavior, but it sure does stress me out. Probably just because I haven’t experienced this before since he’s my first. I’m enclosing a short video of his behavior, he does stop doing this a couple times a day to go though to fill his face. (which makes me very happy.)...
First pic is him seated belted in! 😂
And second one is him!! Meet Antwon!!
Hatch date was March this year. He is very very friendly and comes right out and goes onto my arm!!!
Thank you all for the much appreciated help you gave me in getting set up for him. I’m not so nervous anymore...
Things seem to be working well in my new set up and I have no trouble getting the humidity up to 90% during the night. But then it takes at least till noon to get it back down to around 60% Is this a problem ? Also, I mounted a little computer fan on the mesh top so that it sucks the air out...
This thing looks huge and has to weigh a couple hundred pounds. I had to have my two son in laws help.
I think I have it fairly ready and hoping the plants grow fast so he has hiding places. Most of the plants are from my collection here so fingers crossed.
I put a 3” leca clay balls on the...
So my tank is 48" long and I've been told that I should put a 24" UVB on the one side and then the basking bulb on the other side. Is this correct or should I be adding a longer length bulb?
thanks!
As the time is getting closer for me to be getting my veiled baby ... I'm somehow worried that I'll screw up...what if this happens or that happens....these are a few things I need the answer to so I can quit worry so much.
- I live up north and it can get pretty cold here in the winter...
Going to take all your advice that you gave me. I ordered the big one!! Along with the Arcadia pro 5Ho and a misting and fogger!!!
The question I have is would it be okay to keep him in the tank I have now for a month or so while till the new one comes and gets set up? Even with the water...
I’m wondering if many or any people do this? I can get a nice sized 6’x6’x8’ greenhouse for under $300. It would fit perfectly in my spare room and provide a lot more space for one than the glass tanks. It would have to be tweaked a bit I’m sure…but wouldn’t this work well??
Any and all...
Hello everyone! I’m excited to find this forum! I’m getting my first baby soon ( veiled male). I’ve watched almost all of Bill Strands videos to learn as much as I possibly can about this species.
There is a 3 month old baby right now at a reptile store here in town and he is the most...
