    Spray Your Screens, People

    An often overlooked method for increasing and maintaining humidity is a good old spray on the screens. A Mist King can’t do this. Get a good hand sprayer and hit your screens with some lovin after you’ve soaked the interior of your enclosure. This creates a moisture buffer and will hold...

    My Crickets Don’t Die

    I buy 50 crickets weekly and keep them in a clean black bucket under my grasshopper enclosures with no lid. The bucket is new so the sides are smooth. They can’t climb or jump out. And it’s really dark under there. I just toss them in the bucket and give them food. They have no cardboard...

    Panther’s Night Time Temp

    I just wanted to note that my ambilobe male, Herbert does not do well with night time temp drops to 66 degrees. I’ve noticed every time I give him that exact night time temp drop (or less), he doesn’t come out of his sleep spot the following day until he is prompted to do so. Meanwhile the...

    Shaker Bottles for Dusting Feeders

    Just a quick post to say old spice bottles work great for dusting feeders. I use an old cinnamon bottle because the holes are just the right size. Saves me lots of wasted calcium powder and a whole lot of mess. Just turn it on the side and give a few quick taps. You can even buy a...

    Another Drainage Idea

    I installed curtain rod hangars 5” down from the ceiling and looped a black rope into Herbie’s enclosure. It took all of 5 minutes before he explored the new exercise loop. He made it a few feet and got a little worried, because the rope wasn’t taught or wide enough. Cham dad fail. Anyway...
