I just picked up a Ambient Weather WS-0800-IP internet weather station to monitor my cage, and I'm pretty pleased with the result. For less than $100 I've got graphs on a web browser with about 5 minute resolution as well as real time remote monitoring on my phone or whatever. The "hub" needs to...

Hat tip to @ponders, Gustav seems to be doing great.
Gustav's hatch date is 12/2/2014 and this is a shot from today:
A bit earlier in the month, ten days after his hatch day:
Here are some pictures of a build I'm working on to make a Dragonstrand Atrium cage with solid walls. The panels and strips are from TAP Plastics, who will cut panels to a 1/16" of an inch. I can provide more specifics if anyone is seriously going to try this themselves. If you do, my...
I have a bunch of large superworms in a tupperware container and the bran bedding in the container with them is moist. I think it is from waste, and I want to replace it, but I'm out. I'll get some more when I make a new feeder order, stuff like this...
My drainage system for three trays to a two gallon bucket is gross. It is less than a year old and it smells like the worst aquarium you've ever seen.
Other than physically wiping algae out of the bucket and from the outside of the hoses where they get wet from being in the bucket, any...
Thanks to Ponders, I have a really pretty young Quad who has now lived more than half his life with me.
Here's Gus enjoying a Pink Wing Stick insect I got from Nick Barta:
A couple of more shots here:

Here's a picture of my fog setup around a Crane ultrasonic humidifier:
It works pretty well, and I'm happy with my discovery that a (Slinky brand) "Pop Toob" is a really good match for the plastic accordion tube that comes with a Repti-fogger.
The problem is that moisture condenses on the...
New home needed for sweet female Jackson
Here's a picture:
My 11 year old niece has lost interest and my sister and brother-in-law are not willing to take over for her. We need to find a new home, and I can't take on a female Jackson now.
She came from Backwater Reptiles January 20th...
Anyone know someone selling on line a set of size sorting colanders or grates? I want to use them to sort dubai roaches.
My experiment drilling holes in a set of plastic buckets worked kind of, but not very well and I'm not happy with the result. The holes came out too rough, and I'm...
My Chameleon - Veiled Chameleon, male, 6+ months
Handling - Probably more than I should, daily for the last week. He doesn't like it.
Feeding - Horn and silk worms lately, seems to have lost interest in crickets and never seemed to see roaches at all.
Supplements - Rep Cal with and...
I jumped in and have what I hope will be a decent colony of Dubai roaches and I'm looking for (and searching threads for) advice on transition to staple roaches.
I suspect my pet store veiled was fed nothing but crickets and worms, and now I'm trying to get him to eat roaches. I broke down...
Chameleon Info:
My Chameleon - Veil Chameleon, male, 6-8 months I understand. I bought him on impulse a few hours after a visit at the pet store a week ago.
Handling - I've handled him briefly about four times including unpacking him over the last week. He doesn't like it...
I'm looking for a recommended 24" fixture to go on top of a Dragon Strand Large Breeder cage. It looks like LYR is out of stock of pretty much everything 24".
Suggestions? Newb here so I'm a bit reticent to buy an aquarium or plant light. 24" x 4 6500K plus UVB safely (no out of band please)...
