I purchased about 500 small silkies 6 days ago and they are very healthy and have grown from 1/2" to about 2" that quick. Also bought 10,000 eggs, put them in dishes (250 per) and they all seem to have hatched. So far this company has been 100%. Brad, let me know if I can post the sites name. I...
Does anyone have problems with toe nail loss with their Chameleons. I have read it is caused by them pacing the screen in there habitat. I have also talked to others that have the same set up as I do and they have no problem with this. Ant ideas?
This is my Blue Bar Ambanja. He is supposed to be 4 months old? when I got him in August he was 2" from nose to vent.
His father had a lot more red in him. Do you think he'll color up more as he grows or will he stay about the same?
Doea anyone have a step by step guide on how to raise silkworm eggs to adults? I think I'm going to try to raise them myself. It looks like it's fairly inexpensive that way I just need to know the correct way to raise them( pretty pics. would even help:D )
Thanks for the info Brad. I do have a heat gun and thats what I use to measure all my heat gradients. Will experiment with some different bulbs. Thanks for the feed back.
I am using zoo-Med spot lights(basking lights). The 102 I'm getting is on a branch just underneath the bulb 3". Branches around 10" away are reading around 88. He has plenty of cage to thermo-regulate. I'm not sure where heat measurements should be taken.
With as many beardies as I sometimes provide for, is it worth raising my own silk worms or is it just as easy to order on line? I am trying to weigh effort against costing. Also, has anyone here ever raised silkworms themselves?
Thank you for your response Brad. He is not shedding I just checked his temps and they look a little hot. Hottest spot is 102 (3" under the basking bulb) other end of his cage is 85 and the bottom is 74-76. I can bump down to a lower wattage bulb but then my basking area is 85 and then...
