    Enclosure built but worried about air flow and misting

    Thanks everyone. I have a reptibreeze in my garage that is 48 tall by 24x24, it was given to me in a trade but needs some repair on one panel.I can use that for a baby while I work on the big cage. I am thinking I might buy the marine epoxy. its expensive and cures to a non toxic waterproof...

    Enclosure built but worried about air flow and misting

    I figured I would have to do some rebuild.The top is solid wood with a round cutout with screen for the CHE but the light fixture fits tight. I was thinking of using a basking in that with a flourescent tube uvb fixture inside fixed to the ceiling of the cage(covered in screening for...

    Dehydrated veg and fruit dust for crickets?

    Okay, Im not sure what vitamins would be destroyed in the dehydration process but Im sure some would just like freezing. I will mess about and see what I can make and add in some kelp and alfalfa powder too. I live out in the country and I just cant get collards or kale or any green other...

    Dehydrated veg and fruit dust for crickets?

    Because I have a hard time with the fresh stuff.If I make a big pile of dehydrated kale,sweet potato, bell peppers, dandelion, etc and grind it all up into powder and just take out a tablespoon or so and rehydrate for the crickets is this good gutload?

    Panther Cross breeding

    Thats what scares me.Its mostly a ambilobe tamatave cross but has a total of 5 different things in it. So I have to assume its been crossed more then once....As a first cham. the last thing I want is a weak animal.Then Ill never know if its my husbandry or a bad animal if something happens. I...

    Panther Cross breeding

    About gutloading

    I decided to just order 500 crickets instead of a thousand.I got quarter inch, I hope those wont be too big.I get the cham baby on Thursday. The bigger crickets can be fed off to the beardie and leo my son has so I will scrounge out the smallest ones.I also ordered mini mealies.

    About gutloading

    I wonder if sprouted seeds like wheat and buckwheat and such would be a good gutload for crickets along with veggies and greens? I feed sprouts to my conure because its supposed to be super nutritious. Also how do you make your gutload? do you chop this stuff up daily or make a weeks worth...

    Now that is a cute picture.I love dumbos.Turns out the solid blue is a male and the hooded blue is a female.I also kept a black that is a male because he is so super friendly.I knew this would happen, this is why I quit breeding before.I ended up keeping too many.:rolleyes:

    Fire Safety when it comes to Reptile Keeping.

    I have a fire ext. in the kitchen.I also have smoke detectors right above the cages.I keep all cords to heat devices and lights tied down so no cats, dogs or kids can accidentally knock things off. Everything is checked regularly.I would feel awful if something bad happened because of my insane...
