I wanted to give everyone a update on Ares...... I appreciate all the help..
There was nothing wrong with my Cham. The Dr inspected his mouth and tongue and found nothing wrong. Being a 1st time owner I guess I'm a little paranoid about his health. To be honest im OK with that :). He just...
why not use Auto top off with float valve? You wont ever need to worry about it again. I also use a water leak alarm. my 5g bucket sits in a drip pan with the alarm sensor attached. All I do is clean the bucket every month.
If you remove tubing from quick connectors often the inside collar...
They only eat dead flesh. All the shells,bits and poop are still everywhere. .. Its still a mess to clean up there's no rotting flesh to deal with. Separating all that junk from the beetles and crickets is time consuming.
Cleaning crew def made a difference in smell. Only issue now is its harder to clean the bin.. I cant get these beetles out very easy..
I redid the indoor cage. All the gape vine wood was removed.. It made the cage stink. He loves his outdoor cage.
Ya, I feed Crickets, Silk Worms, Supers.. I keep these on hand for his main diet. Lately he's been refusing Crickets. Getting picky what he will eat. Today he ate Silkies and Supers. He likes Supers the best. There not very nourishing. I dont like feeding many of those. My dude is stating to...
I tried Dubias a bunch of times. I still have a bunch. Ares will not touch them. Its just a waste of $ at this point. I'm stuck with Crickets, supers, Silkies. I get a llot of die off..
This is how I keep them.. I get my crickets from the cricket ranch.. Good price , Fast delivery all are...
Instead of making another thread hope its ok to join in here for some suggestions. I dont have any Buffalo Beetles.. How many are needed to keep 500 crickets in check. Looking at these most say for Dubia's.. Are these good for crickets as well?.
What kind of die off are you guys seeing.. My...
I appreciate any suggestions . You dont need to keep rewriting what I just posted. Please just post your suggestions. I can understand what you want to tell me without re reading what I posted. Here in the usa we cant buy meds without a prescription. De wormers are pretty much the only thing I...
AS For feeding him by hand he will not take anything fro my hand. I have tried misting him directly he will close his eyes and sit there. He doesn't open his mouth. This was done in cage.. When he was in hand I was trying to get some reptaid into his mouth and failed. I have pretty much all the...
After a good check it was just some old skin from a shed..
I tried to do that today. I noticed some lose skin on his lower lip. I got it off. I cant get his mouth open. I was a bit paranoid i would hurt him
Absolutely, I use Bug Burger for crickets, Supers are getting peaches, Silkies get...
I have some panacur, fenbendazol and Reptaid. I dont know how to dose these other than the reptaid. I guess I should make a vet apt. I did see him drink yesterday. He isn't misfiring, look like hes licking his chops.. Mouth only opens a bit, then he swallows. I also noticed a soar on his foot...
Silkies are much better than Crickets in Nutritional value. Ive looked at the data, its not hard to find. As I said Ares wont touch Dubias. I would use them if he would. I have range of Cricket sizes from full adults to 1/2". They are the main feeder. I try to always have Silkies on hand...
I appreciate the help. Ares was acquired from Kammerflage.. They use Repashy plus on there crickets.. They dont list any other supplement. I asked here what was the best Supplement to use LoD was what others used. I do have Repashy plus with no D I can use instead?. He has been getting 10...

Stop using Mealworms as your feeders.. Use crickets, Dubias, Silkies. Get some Bug burger to gut load the crickets... You need to treat all feeders with Calcium LoD every day.. You must mist 4x for 1 min everyday. They normaly drink off the leaves when you mist. The bowl is no good.. Stop...
My guy sleeps in the middle back or bottom of his cage. Never at the edges. I designed mine to have a plethora of places to hide. Sometimes I cant find him until he comes out from where he was.
Anytime your looking for lighting you dont need to only look in the area of reptiles. Any T5...
