    Zoo Med screen cages.

    Silkworm is a cacoon..!

    I have about 8 of them that have cocooned. I decided my guy needs more crix and silks then just silks in his diet ( I think he was getting over hydrated, loose skat :D ) so just 1-2 silks per feeding left me with quite a few left over. I just looked around on the net and found this for a...

    6500k bulbs rock my face.

    building a better cage

    well I got him out and into the new cage. what a PITA, i cant wait to see how much fun it will be to move him back :rolleyes: the stick idea worked after I got him into a place where he had no choice but to get on it. I'm going to post into the health section also, but I was wondering if...

    building a better cage

    I tried turning the cages to one another and put a branch across with supers at the other end.. he started across but got half way and turned around.. yeah, I was so slow it felt like 10mins, lol.. i just tried again and it was a no go.. he ran like hell to the top of his cage. I even tried...

    building a better cage

    Hello I'm here instead of working on the cage b/c I have been in the middle of a standoff between me and Booger (need to cool off for a min). I tried your stick idea and umm hes not having it, lol. I reached into the cage with the stick, started to slide it under him and then all hell broke lose...

    Update on my build

    That looks great! what are you doing for drainage? I know my one dripper (moded gatorade bottle) drips enough that it drains out the spout in the back of my cage.. you have alot more dirt to catch it though :D

    I'm not the grocery go getter but my wife’s 75% sure she’s seen it in the stores here in FL I have been attempting to make my own dry load... dehydrated carrots, fruit, taters, oats, greens. I haven’t fed any of it to my feeders yet, they might drop dead, lol.. I powder all my ingredients...

    Substrate question/riddle...

    Draining the pan is no problem at all... right now it’s a 2 gallon bucket at the end of a drain tube that’s glued into the cage itself. once I get the cage into my living room there is a drain hose I built into the floor so it will all go outside, and for the misters I am going to plumb a...

    Substrate question/riddle...

    Ok, my first plan was to just place my live potted plants on the formica floor of my cage that way the cham could get as high as he wanted and never come down.. :D I also know substrate is just a PITA and not good for him so I really didnt want it, but this just looks silly and dangerous for...

    He hates the cup feeding, lol

    I have only been giving him 1-2 every 3 days along side a main course of 5-7 crix (to change it up a bit). I (tried to get/might have got) supers from my local pet store. When I got them home I thought they looked like the meals my brother got me. I think they sold me meals instead (honestly, I...

    He hates the cup feeding, lol

    not sure of his age.. hes about 5" - 5.5" STV. His cage is 2' x 2' x 3' (few inches bigger then that b/c its all 2x4 framed) I thought he would go right to cup feeding without a problem since he will take mealworms from my hand or off a plate. I found the youtube video. It looks like a great...

    He hates the cup feeding, lol

    Ok, so I decided to start cup feeding last week (4-5 days ago). Mainly b/c I don’t think my lil dude is the best gymnast & he tries to climb on air when in a hurry... The first day was great I dropped in his crix (8) and he walked over and got them, but I learned that 1 in the cup at a time...
