Hey guys hope all is well, Noticed this spot on Marty's tail for at least a month now, was hoping it'd resolve when he shed but it didn't. Thinking about seeing if I should take him to the vet. Has anyone seen something similar? Shot from before shedding

Hey guys! Haven't been active here in a little while, but hope you and you're chams are all doing well! I've been looking into ackie monitors lately and was wondering if anyone knows of a good resource like this forum for monitor lizards or ackies, in particular. Marty is doing great by the...

Invested in a solarmeter 6.5R which arrived today and wanted to run the measurements by some of the experienced members here. lights: 6% Arcadia UVB and 6500K daylight in a double bulb T5HO fixture. The UVB bulb is 7 months old His UVB basking branch (~5-6in below fixture): I know this is...

Marty has been in his sleeping spot with his tail curled since his lights came on this morning (for almost 5 hours). I haven't changed anything with my husbandry and haven't noticed him looking off or acting different lately. I had made a post about him not shedding in a long while. It has...

Marty hasnt shed in probably about 10-11 weeks now. Ive seen that around every 4-8 weeks is normal. Temperatures are dropping in my area a little (Raleigh, NC) and so the humidity has been dipping as well. Although, I haven't seen it lower than 43% according to my house thermostat and a...

Martin has started sleeping in varying areas for the past couple weeks or so and will often be up and moving around until his lights turn off. He always used to have the same spot or general area that he would sleep in even in his new cage for the first month or so, but has stopped doing that...

I've been looking for around a 6' tall ficus or schefflera to use as a free range setup but they seem to be pretty expensive on most of the websites I've seen. I tried my local lowes also, but couldn't find one. Does anyone have recommendations for vendors?

I've had Martin for just about 5 months now and am always looking for ways to improve my husbandry for him. So, I thought I'd reach out for some feedback on my husbandry. About Martin: 9 month old male Ambilobe/Ambanja mix Enclosure: DIY 36x24x36 Lights: 100W incandescent dimmed to about...

How long does it usually take for silkworm eggs to hatch once they have been laid? (Ambient temp = 78F) I've had some eggs for 2-3 weeks now. All but a few look to have been fertilized and have darkened. It looks like some white shed-looking stuff has come off or out of some of them also during...

Fed my boy what I thought was an adult male discoid this morning. Only to find quite a few tiny little white discoids come out of the roach after he chomped down on it a couple times. It was pretty disgusting lol. And the little ones were alive. Here I was thinking they were sexually dimorphic...

does anyone know where I can find a large stand that my 36x24x36 cage will fit on top of? I'd prefer for it to have cabinet doors so I can store my supplements, mistking, etc. I'm having a hard time finding something that would be the right size

Anyone know what this could be? Never seen it before. He ate a silk moth for the first time yesterday. Not sure if that could have anything to do with it

3 moths have hatched! I think they might all be males though? And they are staying on top of their cocoons it seems. Is there anything else I need to be doing other than waiting for the others? I've heard of some trying to cut open cocoons to help moths. How do I know when I should try that...

So I decided to separate some worms (~10-12 maybe) into their own little cocoon setups that i could manage and have noticed at least one cocoon! What now if I want to try to mate them? Do I wait a couple more days to ensure good cocoons and take the cocoons out and put them together? Cocoon...

thinking about getting a couple new plants pretty soon and wanted to add some color into the mix. Do you guys have flowering plants or more colorful plants that have worked well for you?

noticed a good number of gnats/fruit fly looking bugs in with my red runners and dubias. Is there a good way to deal with these? I need to transfer over some giant canyon isos to my dubias from my discoid colony, which I'm assuming would help (not sure how to resolve this in my reds) But, its...

My cham has found a convenient new sleeping spot directly in the crosshairs of my misting nozzle (albeit, he's several inches away from it) He is positioned so that I cant really avoid misting him directly by adjusting the nozzle direction since it is in a corner. So, he gets misted a couple...

These two feeders have gotten my cham to eat consistently the past few days and I am overjoyed about it. I cant wait for my reds to breed a lot and I wish I was better equipped to breed silks, but i think I'm going to try with the remaining ones I'll have left once they get big enough. If...

The egg flats I have with my Dubias look like they've been eating it a little bit. I have been pretty good about keeping food with them, but they still have eaten it. I am a little worried about feeding these to my cham now. Would they be harmful at all?
