Any local reptile conventions in your area? I get all of my bugs through them. They come around monthly. It's about 15$ for 1,000 crickets.

+1 Vitamins and dry form supplements.. well... The FDA doesn’t require expiration dates on vitamins/supplements. So, the pharmaceutical companies place the date on the package “voluntarily”. The FDA will also tell you that vitamins will retain their potency for up to five years. Companies do...

You just need a spare room! I have two maine coon mixs and this is forbidden territory. When I'm inside the room I use to leave the door open a crack to see what they'd do.. of course they both would push it open and I'd just adjust my mist bottle to super soaker mode and they are so well...

So... I went upstairs and turned his light on to get a picture of him and the range and I haven't done this since he was little. Let's just say he was one pissed of hombre. I document when he sheds and I've always noticed hes extra moody when shedding and the worst when I awaken him from...

Random place I found him in the living room.

Here was the original freerange/cage setup I did to slowly lure him out. And it slowly changed to this as I introduced that 150w mercury vapor bulb. So hot, I kept it pretty high up when he was such a shrimp. I only caught him playing the keyboard one time on this range.. haha.

It's so interesting how much he's changed. He use to be so paranoid around me. Now he drinks from the misting bottle and lets me peel off the skin from his body when he's shedding. He use to run and hide from me every time I walked in the room when he was the size of my finger! He's so...

Update! Here was Leon.. aka the Peon in September 2013!

Haha, awesome pictures! They look so cool together.

So, it's been a couple months now and I'd like to update the community on Leon's status. I couldn't keep him in that tiny little cage for the life of me. So, his free range has been set up and grows larger monthly it seems. I've read so much about the dos and don'ts from you guys but at the...

You don't necessarily have to shut all the lights off. I use to have my panthers free range in my living room. He was provided with multiple plants and shady areas within them. Granted there are no ceiling lights in my living room he slept perfectly fine with 3 lamps an aquarium light and the...

I feel the same with every time I make a tank. I've only had a few freshwater tanks myself. I got into brackish and loved it years ago and haven't gotten out of it. I did the 75g one that I posted a couple pictures of up previously and I converted to a 110 when I moved. I would love to...

That's always so much fun! I'm upgrading my little 15G saltwater to a 36 soon and I'm pretty pumped about it. You'll have to get some pics up. :)

I've always wanted to do a planted freshwater tank. That one looks great! I see you took a focal point towards the middle. From all of the display tanks I've seen I think that style is the most beautiful. I've seen some done where it has kind of a V shape in the middle pulling you in while...

That's the beauty of a freshwater tank! The plants act as a nutrient export for the nitrates. As far as saltwater... It's a whole different ball game. The fish are so much more sensitive to nitrates. The best natural option is to go with a deep sand bed of 6-8 inches. This sand bed...

Archer fish are some of the most amazing fish I've ever seen! Especially if you can train them to shoot. I started with putting food on the glass. Right now I have some fiddlers, 2 mudskippers, a milk puffer, bumble bee gobies, target fish and a knight goby. I sadly just had a couple fish...

Your signature shows that you have a brackish tank?? I don't know many people with one.. other than myself. What do you have in it?

Chameleons will eat other lizards if possible and a lot of them will undergo a lot of stress living in a cage with other lizards close by. I wouldn't suggest it. Besides the living conditions of a chameleon are different than other typical lizards. All things are possible though. If you...

Haha, I'm suprised you saw that little guy!

I've loved aquariums forever! My favorite fish are the puffers species. I've had quite a few different kinds over the years. Here is one of my tanks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xKWif7diAg
