    Power Outage = No Heat

    I'm curious to know as well, as I am currently experiencing one. Southern ontario has been hit with an ice storm and my powers been out since this morning, so Walter hasn't gotten any uvb or heat (temp at 65 underr basking light). He is super spotted and dark (almost black) and I am very...

    Light Your Reptiles

    Ive been super busy as of late and have not been able to make the post I wanted to, but I also need to give big props to Todd. I originally bought a 24" dual enclosure (12% and 6500K bulb). I live in Canada, so the shipping was pretty high but I was determined to get an arcadia bulb after...

    Feeding Crickets

    Just a small dish? Maybe I should do that... I just like the idea of letting my guy hunt for them, but im hoping hes actually eating them all. I put 20 or 25 of 1/8 inch ones in there and by the end of the day I dont see them anywhere in the cage, so I can only assume he ate them.

    Feeding Crickets

    How do you put your crickets in your cage after dusting them? If I put them on the floor will they make their way up the cage (screen)? I used to let them all go on a leaf on my ficus, but then it gets all covered in calcium, and I dont know how to strain the calcium properly (its sticky)...

    Climbing top screen

    I just got my veiled a week ago today, hes just a baby (3 months I believe) and twice now Ive come home to see him clinging to the top screen right under the uvb light (Arcadia 6%). Im a little worried about that, as I think he might have made his way up there and cant figure out a way down...

    Where to buy Crickets in Ontario Canada?

    I live in Kitchener, and I just got my baby cham on Sunday and bought 1000 crickets as well (1/8). He's loving them so far, fun to see him on the hunt. But I think within the next week Im going to have to buy more, I probably wont buy so many and probably go up to 1/4 instead. I dont want...

    Humidity Too High?

    So I have my mistking go off at 7am (same time as lights come on) for 5 minutes, 3 minutes at 12pm, and 3 minutes at 4pm. Lights go off at 8pm. Humidity in the morning is usually 40-50. When I get home from work at 7pm, humidity is usually 80-85. Is that too high? If so, how do I...

    The definitive lighting thread! Everything you really need to know

    What Im saying though is that I built it with the half inch hole screen. Should I be putting the small mesh screening on instead?

    The definitive lighting thread! Everything you really need to know

    So I got my dual bulb fixture in last night, and got my enclosure almost fully built now. Only thing Im a little unsure of is this: I got the 12% arcadia and 6500k daylight bulb combo. Instead of using the really small holed aluminum meshing I found some half inch holed steel meshing for the...

    Minwax Wood Finish?

    Any stains recommended over any others? I wasnt sure if the Minwax wood finish was good as just a stain and then seal it afterwards as well or if I should go with something thats just a stain?

    Minwax Wood Finish?

    And does it have to be water based? Can I use the fast drying polyurethane? I thought I read somewhere on this forum that once it dries its no longer toxic.

    Minwax Wood Finish?

    If I get the Minwax Wood finish, do I still need a sealant? It says it stains and seals in one?

    Minwax Wood Finish?

    Im building 2x2x4 enclosure and I want to stain and seal it, but Im a wood noob. Do I stain it first then seal it? How many coats of each? Can I use the Minwax Wood Finish as a stain and then a water based polyeurathane as a seal? Is that safe to use? I was thinking this...
