I buy small mister/foggers form Amazon, less than $20 each. Water containers are quart size plastic fruit jars, laying on their side with part of the top cut out. This sits on the cage top. Unit is powered by a 24V supply which is included. An appliance timer is set to the desired interval-...

Petco will match prices on any online advertised item, such as uvb bulbs.

Ye4s, there probably good and bad stores. To brand all as bad is a mistake. I have bought reptiles from a local "box" store for several years, and have had no issues. I continue to buy light bulbs, supplements, and crickets. I am glad they are here, and will continue to support them.

I have watched bearded dragons eat honey bees. The dragon's toung strikes the bee's thorax. The bee is drawn crossways into the mouth, so the bee's head is outside of the mouth on one side, and the end of the abdomen protrudes from the other side. The dragon crushes the bee, but does not take...

Most moths fly at night. Butterflies don't
