Supplies list

[kokom05lb]

I'm getting ready to supplies order from LLLreptiles on the 15th. Some items I know for sure I can use but some items I'm not sure. I have my boy Ringo (chameleon) and my boy Mr. Freckles (beardie). So, need supplies for both and my feeders.

Feeders:
Bug Burger
and I'm looking at http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog...s/-/nature-zone-12-ounce-cricket-water-bites/ but not sure if they are completely safe.

Ringo:
I need to cover so was thinking about getting this http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog...nd-terrarium-accents/-/72-inch-tropical-vine/

Mr. Freckles:
I'm pretty sure that this is the right one but making sure http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog.../exo-terra-compact-fluorescent-26wt-100-bulb/
and http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog...exo-terra-100-watt-intense-basking-spot-bulb/

Supplements:
http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog...ins/-/sticky-tongue-minerall-outdoor-formula/ I use the same supplement for both Ringo and Mr. Freckles. Do I need something different for Mr. Freckles?

Anything else anyone can think of that I might need let me know plz =) or if something isnt right.

I use water crystals and I think a lot of people here do. Ultimately you'll probably want to buy the dry crystals and hydrate them yourself. That is far less expensive. You can buy them at garden supply stores (they are mixed into planting soil to help it retain water). If you're just looking for something to fill out the minimum charge for shipping, there's nothing wrong with the water bites.

I would recommend the Reptisun linear 5.0 tube:http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog...por-bulbs/-/zoo-med-15-repti-sun-50-uvb-bulb/ and just a household incandescent (like you can buy at the grocery store) for your lights. The 10.0 is pretty powerful. If you have large black mesh cages (as opposed to screen), then the 10.0 would be appropriate. This board recommends the linear tubes, but many use the coiled tubes successfully. There is a 5.0 version of the coiled tube if that is what you want to use.

I'm not familiar with the Miner-all, so hopefully someone who is will come along.

The fake vines look fine. I strongly recommend you get a live plant in there as well.

This is what the inside of Ringos cage looks like... To me even though he has 3 pothos and 2 umbrella trees, it seems bare. The hood like is like that one (have 3 of them) I dont like them but cant find anyone to buy them off of me to get the tube hood lights or better yet the ones from Lightyourreptile.com And the basking light on Mr. Freckles is only a 60w house bulb which it probably be cheaper to buy a 100w house bulb from walmart or something.

I wouldn't get the gel bites. They aren't a good gutload. You could just throw in some oranges instead

 

[Elizadolots]

The gel bites are strictly meant for hydration. Kokom0 specifically mentioned buying bug burger which is highly regarded gutload.

Kokom0, I agree that Ringo could use more hiding places and those vines will make that easy to accomplish. As your pothos plants grow, train them over and down to the walkways.

As I said, many people here use the coiled compacts. For that cage, I think the 5.0 would be a better choice than the 10.0.

how about Mr. Freckles? I have a 40g turtle tank that needs to be cleaned out that I can use for putting him outside but there no screen. I know he needs a uvb light as well just not sure Of the size. He's in a 40g tank now with just a basking since i don't have another uvb atm. He's a bearded dragon.

 

[Elizadolots]

There, I don't know! Sorry.

 

[kokom05lb]

Just bumping it up... Main reason is to see if I can use the same supplements that I use for Ringo to give to Mr. Freckles (beardie)

i have a bearded dragon. in a 40g breeder.. i used zillas "Desert UVB fixture" its desert and the uvb is 10%.. the fixture and the bulb come in a packet.. it was 31.99$ ... also if you end up getting this.. there is plastic over the light. i have no idea why. but you have to remove it so that the rays are useful. any other questions just pm me!!
