Schistocerca will hatch fine in an unheated basement. Mine usually take about 60 days in the low-mid 70's . 4-6 weeks if the temperature is in the 80's. I try not to let the soil with the eggs dry out. Im not sure if there would be a detrimental effect on the eggs or not if it did. I would...

If you are considering a plywood frame and corrugated sides, you will run into issues supporting the branches/ vines unless you include some sort of additional support for them. Corrugated panels are flimsy. Even if you mount the panels with the corrugated running vertical, they will bow. You...

Mine? Hardly ever. But I use 10+ gallons of RO water a day. I don't use the filter that comes with the MK. I have a couple of 35 gallon barrels plumbed together. The water passes through a stainless screen before it goes through a 5 micron sedimant filter, the type used for ro/di systems...

MK recommends replacing once clogged . It's pretty much a biofilm that clogs it. I have had luck disassembling, soaking in hydrogen peroxide overnight, and back flushing them before reassembling

I say try it out! Sounds like it would be awesome ! I used socks available through the biodiesel industry on my saltwater tank. All different micron sizes available, I used 10 micron and 5 micron to catch the particulates from using lanthanum chloride (phosphate reduction) and to run the carbon...

You would need to filter the water before getting to the sterilizer. The more removed the better And the effectiveness of the sterilizer is largely dependent upon the water's contact time with the light. Theore time, the more killed. Make sure you are not moving the water too quickly through the...

Wish you were closer (St. Louis here). I'd drive to pick it up. Shipping cost is probably crazy.

Where are you located ?

Do you have a link to the fixture?

You're gonna get mist out the front of the enclosure, Mist king or any other brand. The mist cools the air and causes a downdraft. Like a thunderstorm, only on a much smaller scale. You could try putting a small throw rug in front of the cage, or a small fan blowing over the area to help it dry...

@Monties1982 keeps and has bred brevicornes The guy pictured looks different from my son's guy and my guy (I cannot find a pic of mine )

I always had green anoles as a kid. We always had them out. (Granted, we were kids, and we really didn't care if they wanted to be handled or not) lol But from what I can remember, they pretty much crawled up onto our hands

Do you mean one has to be dedicated to keep? Or that the species could benefit from some more interest?

We have a show too Hopefully I (don't) see anything interesting lol

Yep. And some truly exceptional Salvator specimens (Which would be a little too big for a 50 gallon lol)
