    Replacing my old heat lamp

    That is a non directional bulb, not a flood. Do you have it in a hood with a reflector, or just use at as a ball of heat and keep it closer to the cage than an average halogen flood? Hmm might even be able to keep it low on the side and have basking and heat rising at the same time :P

    Replacing my old heat lamp

    Make sure to do some temperature testing. Even replacing with the same bulb model can have a 10c swing. And if you are going with a completely different model, you dont know if its a wide flood or narrow etc. So you cant just go my watts or lumens.

    Feeding of when?

    Morning is best so he can bask and start digesting. But if you eat a steak its going to take a couple of days to come out the other end. The chameleon it will take even longer. So its not like "oh no it ate a big bug before bedtime" is a problem. I only feed after i get home from work, so...

    Grain mites

    I find layers on my tv set, i dont think they are eating it. They lay eggs in a moist spot, and they only eat grains, and maybe seeds because those are grains too? But they will not eat the hull.

    Grain mites

    Bran doesnt cause mites. Mites cant eat bran. You use bran so you dont get mites. The bran is the outside of the grain.

    Isopods as staples?

    They are a great staple. And they eat things that most staples will not, thats what makes them a great staple. If you think about it, if all your staples get fed about the same food/gut load, its not really a good staple selection, you are just changing the shape of the feeder, not the...

    RIP Boogie... Advice on a necropsy for sudden death?

    9/10 it happens juuuuuust before adulthood due to a congenital defect. Some organ could support a certain body size, but during the last growth spurt when they are doing their last doubling in body mass, said organ just couldnt keep up.

    Potting soil-what to use?

    That doesnt look bad. I see no chemicals nor things like water beads or other white things noe vermiculite. People need to realize that plants do need "food" not just scorched earth dirt. So they are going to have poop, dead plants, etc, in this case they also have meal worm husks :)

    Potting soil-what to use?

    You just need "something" that doesnt have fertilizer nor water beads. But if its organic, it should not have chemical fertilizer in it period. It might have more natty sources like manure etc. When in doubt just get compost and normal dirt and mix. But most potting soil is going to have...
