    crickets keeps dying

    No, 3 parts powder to one part water. The container includes a measuring device. Mix water and bug burger completely, removing any lumps. Microwave for a minute or until it starts to boils. Stir again and pour into a plastic lid or mold. It sets up in a few minutes like Jello. Cut and...

    Lllreptile? Good or bad?

    I wish the forum allowed this sort of thread or had a special place for it on the forum rather than point you to a third party website. People have opinions based on experiences they have had. I see nothing wrong with sharing them if asked, site sponsor or not. When you censor comments and...

    Lllreptile? Good or bad?

    There seems to be some debate over the morality or stigma of WC as it promotes the very barbaric practices and illl treatment of the animals within the trade. I'm not sure if there are any legit WC middle men, but you are right, without them many unique species would not be available to keepers...

    Meal worm feeding dish

    Why did you use the duct tape? Whats the concern over the container being clear? I don't get it. Crickets or Dubia's are also much better feeders. I like super worms, but only as a treat. I hear they are not as nutritious as crickets or Dubia's.

    crickets keeps dying

    I know it has been mentioned, but are you able to try a different source? I'm not a pro, but your setup for them seems fine, better than mine actually. I can't remember the last time I had a dead cricket. I buy 250 at a time from Josh's Frogs, and feed them Bug Burger exclusively. I...

    Dubia Breeding vs. Keeping

    Well, I placed my order tonight. 250 - 1/2" banded crickets and a small small pack of 1/4" Dubias (50 I believe) I need to be sure my Cham will eat these and I will test in small scale my feeder process. :coffee:

    Lllreptile? Good or bad?

    Thanks. Yeah, I'm glad I got it cleared up. Too bad it cost them a customer. Word of mouth can also cost you too. ;) I wish I had an expo near me. There are a few decent reptile shows, but they tend to be snake, turtle and dragon heavy. Not a lot of specialized cham stuff. :(

    Advise needed on using a fan in enclosure

    Thanks for the input. I will try this weekend with a 2-3 minute misting to see how the system recovers. Maybe it will work, or may be not. I may have to program the mister for 4 short mistings during the week and maybe 3 longer ones on weekends (or some combination of) to see. I plan on...

    DIY MISTING SYSTEM

    Just a question, but isn't there a difference in the pressure using any pump for an aquarium, where the water is allowed to flow freely as opposed to thru a misting nozzle that will provide a lot of back pressure? Are these pumps designed to work under such loads?

    Advise needed on using a fan in enclosure

    I use this: https://www.amazon.com/Ambient-Weather-WS-08-X4-8-Channel-Thermo-Hygrometer/dp/B00EXP4RNO/ref=sr_1_54?ie=UTF8&qid=1492737567&sr=8-54&keywords=by%2BAmbient%2BWeather&th=1 You can see one of the sensors in the top left of the terrarium. Not sure what you mean by having the "device...

    Advise needed on using a fan in enclosure

    Here are the stats and picture of enclosure. (Just took it when I came home so this IS current) Sherman was in the process of putting his pajamas on and getting ready for bed.:p The image also shows the current airflow I have that helps maintain the temps and humidity listed. Fan 1 is in the...

    Advise needed on using a fan in enclosure

    I've been eye ballin' those, but I'm mot convinced the screen will hold up to my cleaning. I have another thread devoted to wanting to get info on the thickness and material used on these cages. Yes I know, and I clean almost daily. If I see water, I definitely clean. I'm worried about...

    Advise needed on using a fan in enclosure

    I hope you guys can follow this: :coffee: I'm misting for 1 minute, 3 times a day. (which some say isn't enough). Start humidity varies in the morning as it typically matches the house humidity. Lets just say 50%. The first misting is at 7:45 am and the humidity can go up to 90% within a few...

    MistKing vs Climist.....thoughts?

    I was joking....:unsure: I must be lucky. I can mist for 30 seconds and he's there drinking within seconds. I have lots of short video's of him doing this. I really wasn't aware of the cleaning the eyes, but I can't mist much more than 1 minute as I have standing water with even just 60...

    Lucky Lucky Baby!

    I was worried about my baby falling off injuring himself when I first got him. I contacted Nick, of Canvas Chams and he told me that at that young age, they may slip and fall but they are so light that they rarely injure themselves. (Sort of like if you drop an ant from 5 feet up. ) Sure...
