    Veiled Female Behaviour

    My female veiled, who is now around 18 months or so, has taken up digging within her enclosure again. I've palpated her many times and she doesn't seem to have any eggs. When she stretches out, nothing shows. No bag o' marbles. She went through a REALLY ugly phase recently where she had...

    Plant lighting

    Perhaps someone could give me some more info on what a 6500k linear tube is used for. I spoke with someone briefly about it but my husband, being an electrician and all, thinks that a UVB linear tube can provide the same purpose as this light. I need to know it's exact purpose and what does...

    Exoterra enclosures .. what is your opinion?

    Just wondering what people think about them from experience or otherwise. I know some, if not all, provide two spaces for coil uvb bulbs ... is this not recommended for chams? If so, why do they provide this type of hood when it is not suitable? I'm concerned ... the linear tubes are so pricey...
