    Home made misting system for $30+tax

    Well, as Kevin said, the nozzles run with .9 GPH @ 100psi. So, assuming you are running at 100psi, you divide .9 into 60 minutes and you get .015 gallons per minute. Convert that to fl. oz. and you get 1.92 per minute. Thats 3.84 Tbls per minute..... In other words, not much water.

    Home made misting system for $30+tax

    Well my estimations were pretty close, right? And I wasn't saying anything negative about the Aquazamp, in fact I am planning on buying one! Just that pond pumps aren't going to cut it.

    Cricket caging question....

    For the crickets, go with a large plastic bin with smooth, slippery sides. Throw your gut load and some egg cartons in and your set. Keep things dry and don't let anything mold. This will only cost a few bucks and will be easier to move, clean, or dispose of that glass. As for the gender, the...

    Home made misting system for $30+tax

    Pond pumps are low pressure, high GPH (Gallon Per Hour) pumps. So they can move a lot of water, but do not create much psi in the system. Mistking nozzles, in order to work properly, need around 100psi. These nozzles allow a flow of around 2 GPH. The pond pumps operate at psi's ranging from...

    Sick of Reptile Equipment?

    I do not think that it is brands like Zoo Med, Zilla, or Exo Terra that make the modern herpetoculturists/hobbyists successful. It is the collective knowledge of past mistakes, the accumulation of published works, and mostly, places like this website. It is true that there is equipment from...

    You should fill out the form in your other post and delete this one. Having two will only make it inefficient.

    Sick of Reptile Equipment?

    When I first started purchasing everything, I didn't know any better. But after some experience, I've learned the do's and dont's and how to shop around. It just becomes frustrating when you realize everything you have previously bought from reptile brands is a POC.

    Sick of Reptile Equipment?

    Yes, I have started looking in every possible place to find alternatives. But when comes to UVB/UVA ratings or flexible, non-toxic vines and furnishings it becomes very difficult.

    New Veiled Owner. Any tips?

    That seems like a bit too often for a multi-vitamin. Also, you will need some calcium supplements as well. Some with vitamin D3, some without. Most people seem to suggest the multivitamin and the calcium with D3 one or two times a month and the regular calcium much more often, depending on the...

    Sick of Reptile Equipment?

    It might just be my experience, but all of the big brands who make reptile accessories seem to have horrible products. They are all poorly made and extremely overpriced. I have purchased multiple items that either do not work or break right out of the box. I've had a light bulb explode, a...

    I am back and he is still hurting!!

    Most of their stores are in San Diego. The closest they have to Los Angeles is in Menifee of off Newport, on the 215 freeway.

    New cage design no doors

    Is the floor just dirt? Are these cages in some sort of tent outside or something? It does look like a great, convenient idea. Nice job.

    I need help..

    It sounds like she is impacted. This is why a lot of chameleon owners advise against any kind of substrate. If you feed her every day, she should defecate every day. If I were you, I would take her to the vet as soon as possible.

    Trying the Chameleon thing again

    Lovereps, Do the MistKing systems work well indoors without getting water outside the cage? Are the nossels able to focus the water exactly where you want it to go or does it make a mess?

    Trying the Chameleon thing again

    I don’t think any chameleon would be described as “nice.” My panther isn’t mean at all but he doesn’t like to be bothered, especially by kids. If you’re looking for interaction, a veiled might be the best at tolerating it. I would suggest looking at all the chameleons described as “hardy,” and...

    Sexing my Panther Cham

    She is def a female. And it can take over a year for their colors to fully develop. How old is she though? You wouldn't want to breed her too young, she didn't look very old to me. But maybe I just couldn't tell very good. I've read that you should wait at least a year before you breed. Until...

    Shedding?

    I have a male panther who is almost five months old and he looks exactly like the one in your picture. He has folds of skin along his back and what appear to be very slightly sunken eye turrets. I was worried about dehyration but then the guy i bought him from was saying he probably needs to...
