What about getting the Deagin strand enclosure, and making do with a dog crate tray until July or August, when the dragon stand drainage systems should be available?

Depending on your area, standard dimensional framing lumber is typically spruce or pine. If the lumber is indoor lumber it will need to be protected with a sealer/stain/wax etc. There are many safe options. Look for non-toxic LOW VOC products. If it’s exterior lumber , it will be pressure...

17…in Cali? Good lord!

How extreme? Where abouts are you?

Collect them leaves, girl! Mulch your yard with them.

Do you guys get an autumn leaf drop there? Surely the southern sugar maples drop their leaves in winter.

Never say irredeemable! Unless it’s been salted, there’s always a way to improve it.

Thanks so much. I hope others will give it a try. It’s so much fun!

Warning: A show-off post follows… In all seriousness, I thought I’d share some pics/ideas for all the outdoor keepers. Outdoor chameleon enclosures don’t just have to be cages; they can become part of the landscape. Large enclosures, heavily planted, can be used to section off private sitting...

I’ll just add a couple thoughts here. Before making any drastic changes to your supps—especially if you’re considering a strong vit A product—try a more moderate regime that incorporates low but consistent levels of the fat soluble vitamins such as A and D. And Work at really dialing in your...

Spirits aside, there’s a palpable catharsis to blending all the veggies and fruit into that green goo. It’s likely some kind of tacit pride that I’ve spent so much time preparing such healthy fare. The reality that my bugs eat it, while I clog my arteries with wings and pizza is conveniently...

Just something to consider: Bug burger contains A and D3. So that additional source of fat solubles should be taken into account in your supplement schedule. As for gutloading, there are at least two distinct understandings of the term ‘gutload’. I’m happy to share my understanding of the...

Ugh! Sorry, an emoji appeared in my previous reply. The ratio of 100 parts A to 10 parts D3 to 1 part E is almost universal.

Are you sure about your numbers for repashy. The standard across almost all brands is A:D3:E is usually 100:10:1.

Further to my last, I only mention the shedding thing because I’ve seen similar behavior in my jax at shedding. Vitamin A deficiency and excess are both common causes of eye issues, so that’s certainly something to consider.

I’m glad Sean advised: he’s a smart guy, and has plenty of experience with Jax. And good on you for seeing the vet!

This is anecdotal, but I notice the one-eye-shut thing during a shed frequently. By all means, explore all possibilities, but keep in mind they do all sorts of things to help the shedding process. They rub their eyes on branches, gape and stretch their mouths and even use their feet to remove...

How long since last shed?

B, I still think it’s a light issue. Hibiscus leaves should be more rigid. Leaves get big and floppy when they etiolate due to insufficient light. I know it sucks, because you have a small city’s worth of wattage over it. Years ago, I managed to get one blooming indoors in a basement. But it was...
