    Cham Drawing

    My son, who's in the first grade, came home from school yesterday and was all proud of the drawing he'd done about his pet Godzilla so I told him I'd share it. I think it's pretty good for him going off memeory and doing it at school. He even drew the feeder cup in the correct location.

    Need some feeder suggestions

    my little guy is only 5 months so finding small enough bugs to give him a wide varied diet is hard. I tried blue bottle flies, which he loved, but only 4 of the 50 turned into flies. My ability to keep crickets alive is surprisingly aweful so I feed him dubia as his staple food. I also recently...

    Godzilla update

    Well I've had Godzilla for 6 or 7 weeks now so I though I'd share a couple pics to see if you long term keepers are noticing anything I'm not seeing. I didn't weigh him when I got him so I can't hart growth but I'm happy as long as I continue to see positive growth and clean clear eyes. He just...

    bSFL question

    I ordered a couple hundred dubia from Josh's Frogs and since I needed to pay for overnight shipping I added some other goodines to my box to make it worth while. I have a sampler of 50 Black Solider Fly Larvae and 50 Blue Bottle Fly Larvae to see if my little dude likes them. Are they kept in...

    Silk worm questions

    so I'm looking to add some verity to Godzillas diet but he's so small still (3 months old) that he can't have all the big worms yet. I found a spot where I can order 250 silk worm eggs for like $10. I'm sure they grow really fast and will quickly become too large to feed to Godzilla so I want to...

    Are babies too young to "shower"

    my little guy is almost 3 months old and I'm wondering if he's too small to shower. I imagine that bing tiny means dehydrating easily so was winding if it's okay to shower him once a week to make sure he's good and hydrated.

    Question

    So as you most of you know from my other recent posts my panther comes tomorrow. He's roughly 2-1/2 months old so I know he's to eat every day but what's the best method to make sure he's eating?

    Question about training a plant

    So I went all gung hoe and bought some plants for my enclosure to finish setting it up today and I got a ficus tree and a hibiscus as the main two plants. The thing is that my ficus tree is too tall, I didn't measure it when picking it out.... They all look small when in a massive garden...

    Pothos???

    I'm confused... many of you use and recommend pothos plants but when I google them I see they are poisonous to animals if eaten. Why do we use them if they're poisonous?
