Okay, I will definitely tell her that! Thank you! We will definitely try to be less hands on and let them do their thing. This one came to her blind so it did need help eating at first but the humidity was able to help with that and it can now see again. So I’ll tell her to just put it back in...
This is both related and unrelated to my post. This is one of the fellow hatchlings that my friend has. She said it has developed this odd coloring and keeps falling over. Do y’all have any advice on this? Again, unfortunately we do not have exotic vets here so we’re on our own.
Thank you, all of this helps a lot! I’ll be getting some more plants in her enclosure ASAP and remove the pipe cleaners and work on getting the sticks and branches and stuff all put in this one enclosure.
I’ll definitely look into a tracker like that! I was originally told humidity isn’t that big of a deal with Jackson’s as long as they have humidity at night. I’m always up super late anyway, I think I posted this at like 2am 😂 but, I’m always in bed doing research or watching shows or both. Lol
That makes sense, I didn’t even think of putting sticks and branches in soil! 🤦🏼♀️ For the shower curtain, it should cover 3 walls? Back and both sides? Leaving the top and front for ventilation only? She has the right temps during the day and the right temp drop at night.
So it would be...
Ha ha not a problem, without a picture of the entire pot it can be hard to identify all of them. I just know I looked up each one when I first got her and the Parlor Palm and Pothos were the only ones I was positive were okay for her so those are the only ones from my arrangement I’ve been...
I will be adding the Pothos and Parlor Palm as soon as I get pots but I know for a fact I can’t add my whole potted plant because my Flaming Katy is incredibly toxic to humans and animals. I could replace them with white ones but if I don’t use pipe cleaners she won’t have anything to climb on...
First picture is of the glass enclosure upstairs. It is just literally a 5 gallon fish tank with a wire mesh breakout blocker lid.
The second picture is of the wire mesh enclosure downstairs that is actually designed for reptiles. The pipe cleaners were literally all I had in here at first...
Okay, awesome. The first time she did it she stretched so far that she almost fell over. And if I remember right you should never help along the shedding, correct? It all has to come off on its own?
no ideas about her rubbing her head and face on my hands? I mean, I don’t mind and I’ll let her...
Oh, I also have 5 fruit fly cultures going! 3 that I purchased and 2 that I started myself using a banana, applesauce, oatmeal mixture for the food like I saw in a video I watched and some of the established larvae at all stages and pupae from my store bought cultures.
I’ve been doing tons of research on gut loading! I have fruit available in the enclosure for the crickets to continue to eat after I’ve released them into her enclosure to encourage them to stay full, fruit they don’t get access to outside of her enclosure.
Another problem with living in a small town is getting crickets small enough for it. The stores only get in small crickets, never 1/8” or pinhead. Sometimes you’ll get lucky and find real small ones in the small crickets though. So I just have to buy a bunch of smalls and pick through them to...
Yeah, it can be pretty rough. But, that’s what happens when you live in a small town, in a state that doesn’t have a lot of people to begin with. I’m in Idaho. I’m in one of the bigger cities in Idaho but, it’s still a small town. The population of our COUNTY in 2019 was 220,000. We’re lucky...
Unfortunately we have no vets here we can go to. All of the vets in our area only see dogs and cats and other fluffy pets. We don’t have any vets that will see reptiles or fish or anything like that so we’re just kinda SOL and left to figure things out/treat things on our own. For our fish we...
Also I keep saying she 😂 although, I agree with you, pebbles does have 3 horn nubs already and I’ve wondered if that means she’s a he. Lol! I was just told that at this age it’s way too soon to tell so we’ve just left it at that.
